So that is how garbage like Rome and Stephen A. Smith get on the air...
quote:
"[Rome] was brash and young, and his dream was to be on someplace like ESPN. He wasn't a great TV personality at the time, he was kind of awkward, but he had that great voice, a great mind, and he had the respect early of the trash-talking black and Hispanic audience.
quote:
John looked at the tapes and went gaga; he thought this was going to be Waterloo, and he was going to fight this one because he thought it flew in the face of the journalistic ethics of ESPN. I kept saying, 'It's not about journalism, it's about young people, and getting involved in what they care about.'

Believe it or not. Rome and Steven A. were actually better/more likable on Fox Sports. They've been terrible since being on ESPN imo.

Suck or no suck, the ESPN show was just a side gig for him.
According to the author of the ESPN book, his radio show nets him $25-$30 million annually.

I did enjoy his Jungle Glossary and Rat Face HOF
But when you start bringing guy off Blind Date in as an expert, it was time to leave.

I don't understand the hate for this guy.
He seems to be the only radio host who is capable of thinking for himself. Dude has some funny parts in his show, too.
