Of course, being behind the scenes it's not such a big deal for me. But I mean Brown and Rome pointed out it's not about his past. And no one was like "I want to thank James Brown and Jim Rome..." But I see why they wouldn't it. It's not as effective to do something like that anyway.

Unfortunately when people gripe about the "media," they are just referring to the opinions being voiced by the talking heads. It's too bad that you guys have to be lumped into that. But if someone asked you what you do for a living, you probably wouldn't say, "I work in the media." I know it sucks that people make blanket statements like "ESPN is f-ing reatarded," etc. But what can you do? Just laugh at their ignorance and know that, ahem, how do they say it, "the voices of those in this show do not necessarily represent the opinions of ESPN..."

I'm a Rome guy myself

I love Czaban's show but I do get the real impression that he is a major a-hole. Just whenever something doesn't go exactly right on the show you can almost HEAR him staring at the producer or his partner wth the death look. But the pace of the show, how they tackle stuff and the comedy is up my alley.

I gotta say I hate Rome. Always have. Ever since Chris Everett almost killed him way back in the day and all Rome could do was give him that shit eating grin and call hm Chrissy. What a punk.

[That Guy]

CC is a worthless punk who couldn't care less about the facts when they get in the way of his advertising dollars... gotta say something edgy, even if it's completely false and everyone knows it.

I like Rome too.

It's a shame that people can't let the Jim Everett thing go. It's a defining moment but it was so long ago, and even Rome admits he was young and dumb at the time and he crossed the line. He definitely wouldn't do that today, and his career is so much more than that one moment.

He's had a huge influence over the sports radio industry, and I think he's the main reason that punks like Cowturd and Czabe exist.
