  • I'm Jim Rome? I'm burning?

  • This is why RiB sucks! At least it sounds fresh still in the Jungle; despite the fact he doesn't take as many calls and e-mails because he "works so much before air."

  • you can tell the difference when he isnt working off his script

  • romey da best

  • were live from miami, as you can tell lol

  • Well...that was professional

  • pretty embarassing!

  • If someone OTHER than jim rome did this , Rome would be constantly referring to it on his radio show until the end of time

    I like the Jim Rome show, but the guys got a way over inflated ego, and i can gaurentee theres a bunch of clones on here that would disagree with anything anti jim rome

    Hes like a Male version of Oprah in terms of his cult like blind followers that would drink the kool aid all the way to the after life if Rome told em so

  • many "talent" at espn without a prompter is dead.

  • wow this is painful.

  • Jim Rome is occaisionally tolerable when he's NOT talking about sports, or just using the sampler all day. 99% of the time I hate him, because he's a little twat who bitches about HIS AUDIENCE. Maybe if you would actually take some fucking calls instead of letting people soak up cancer on hold for 2 hours, you would get a few better calls. You just sit around waiting for some douche popsicle to put something "on blast" and if it suits your likes it gets "racked". Go suck a cock wierd goatee MFer

  • I wish he would just burn and die

  • Keep in mind, Jim Rome is an entertainer, not a sports journalist. They both have their place, but to compare the two doesn't make sense.

  • All Rome does is ask "elaborate on that," "tell me about that." His writers give him a list of 10 questions or so, and he asks them. when they give him something to feed on, he just says "explain that to me." It's awful. At least Dan Patrick HUMANIZES his guests and doesn't ask the same tired questions. Rome sucks - take his writers and prompters away, and that guy is shitcanned within ten minutes. NO substance, NO quality. Just stupid accents and dumb/bad jokes.

  • His writers and prompters? He does LIVE radio...

  • I know a lot of people dont care for his Type A personality, but to call him a hack is silly. If you listen to his show, I can see why you wouldnt like it, but its often hilarious, but more importantly he is a GREAT interviewer and gets good takes from his guests. Unlike guys like Dan Patrick who spends the whole time asking pointless questions, fishing for compliments and talking about his hair.

  • I hate idiots like u who think Rome is a good interviewer just because he sticks to his pre-written scripted questions. Dan Patrick CRUSHES Rome as an interviewer. A dunce like you might think Rome is better because his Q's are more rapid-fire, but they have no substance. It's all "Do you think you guys can win this series against the PIstons?". Patrick, and other skilled interviewers, actually get interesting information out of their guests and engage them in a back & forth conversation.

  • Bro if you love listening to Patrick eat up stupid comments about his hair and ask Roger Goodell things like "So what name are you most nervous about pronouncing at the draft?" then go for it. Rome actually allows guys to give a thoughtful answer and then pushes for WHY he is giving that answer. Doesnt cut them off to make a corny joke like Dan does. But if you like listening to Patrick try to get pre-draft rookies to stir the pot and dig at them when they give cliche answers, its all you.

  • Id rather listen to Goodell talk about that & what his favorite movie is than what rome does.Granted,that stuff isnt exactly riveting,but at least it's information that you wouldnt know otherwise.Rome just serves up stuff like "Commissioner, clearly the NFL is growing strong right now.Talk about that." Most of the time Rome doesnt even ask a Q,he just serves up a statement so the guest will spew cliches.Sometimes guest like that jockey or Lloyd will call him on it like "Uh, was that a question?"

  • You're kidding right? Rome comes off as a wanna-be jock that kisses ass during his 'interviews' and none of his 'interviews' are even close to hard hitting. He's just a radio host that had enough facial symmetry to have a TV Show for people bored as shit during the lull between the new SportsCenter at 6 pm. Even the terrible Around the Horn is more informative and entertaining...which says a lot.

  • Where's whitey to drop the hammer on Rome? Nice going scrub.

  • Rome really does sucks. And the callers reading from scripts is soooo lame. And they all do.

  • You can make fun of him for being confused when the prompter goes out, but you have to understand that the segments on TV are timed so precisely that it's important to follow the schedule and if it goes out, he might be talking about Rex Grossman when the video is showing Peyton Manning. Plus he won't know what picture is coming next.

    It's not that he's dumb and can't say anything without the prompter, it's just that without knowing what he's supposed to be talking about it's disorganized.

  • Fail!

  • LMAO I love watching this video...."Other things to talk about...the running back situation...Indianapolis Colts...(SILENCE)...Coming to u Live,as u can tell" -U fucking suck, Rome!!! It goes 2 show that when you've built a whole career on nothing but flash & marketing,but no substance,whenever u get a wrench thrown into the equation u R fucked. It also goes to show that any dipshit in this day in age can develop a following, as evidenced by the fact that this clown actually has loyal fans.

  • what a shithead...i'm burning on you

  • drop romey give me more cannons!!!!

  • Rome is chillin in Miami for superbowl weekend doing his show and making $7 million a year doing it...WTF are u guys doing LMAO

    say what u want about rome..the guy carved out a pretty nice life for himself and he started as a nobody doing little radio shows in san diego..i admire people who make something out of nothing...rome wasnt handed anything

  • fuck you bitch that guy is a fag who is a wanna be man he doesn't even right his own shit that is he can't even read out of a fucking paper re-markable

  • Im sure Jim Rome would trade in his synidicated radio show and his TV show which rakes him in 7 MILLION a year for whatever it is you do LMAO

    I guess you never had a bad day at work

  • wanna be ? His radio show is syndicated LMAO

    People wanna be him lol

  • I agree. We finally received Rome back on the radio after a few years of him being pulled out of our market. Not a fan of "sports news" or all the drama that comes along with it, but his takes are often hilarious and true.

    (I think it's "V-Smack," short for "Van Smack.")

  • Jim Rome's left ear is fucked up

  • People watch Jim Rome? I always thought that was some bullshit filler show (like Around the Horn) so that they wouldn't have to loop Sportscenter 24 hours a day.

  • ATH is the shit youre an assholr

  • The thing I don't like about Jim Rome is he comes off sounding fake. He tries to sound tough and cool but it's way to forced.

    Actually that's my gripe with ESPN at large. According to my DVR, the info on SportCenter is "A hip, Emmy-winning. . . ."

    I really dislike how most of the TV people try to act super hip and edgy (one example, "Cool as the other side of the pillow).

    On the other hand I do like their SportCenter commercials for the most part.

  • Honestly when I hear Stewie Scott say something stupid like "cool as the other side of the pillow," that is when I mute the TV. I have to agree with you though, the people on Sportscenter are about as "hip" as my Grandfather.

  • but, thats going to be a great match up right there...

    LOL!!

  • Wow, he's horrible. I always thought it sounded fake and EVERY time he says "what is up."

  • I hate Jim Rome and everything but basically everybody that does a show like that with long segments of just them talking uses a teleprompter. It's just part of the business so I don't see why people are making a big deal out of him using one for his opening segment too.

  • jim rome is a douchebag trentonk12

  • he doesnt even have an athletic career, what does he have to prove?

  • "uh-oh"

  • this guy is annyoning and gives me a headache when i watch it

  • rome's colon is burning

  • stopped listening to him about 8 years ago. i have XM radio and i'm glad i dont have to listen to this phony.

  • Same here. Stopped about 6 years ago. It used to be very entertaining back then. I still catch it every now and then for little spurts when I'm flipping stations in my car or whatever, Man has it gone downhill. I can't think of who the hell thinks it's a good radio show these days. dude is a total sellout phony bitch. That's why none of his oldschool callers even call him anymore.

  • this guy iis so full of him self its not even funny

  • You're a clueless fucking IDIOT. Rome's a phony little bitch with stupid pre-packaged "takes", as shown by this video. Only idiots think there's anything intelligent about his radio show.

  • who cares if its intelligent or not. Im sure everything you watch and lsiten to is intelligent =] his show is funny, and thats all that matters, a good distraction in the middle of the day

  • No, it's NOT funny. If it were, that would be something - good comedy in and of itself is in fact intelligent. It takes skills to make &recognize good comedy. But the Rome show is not that. It was very good at one point, like 7 years ago. Now, it's fucking retarded and only a bunch of pathetic idiots still tune into that shit and worship Rome like the pathetic "clones" that they are. "Oh Romey, romey, that interview with Pat Summitt made me cry. you're the best, Jim! WAR Die Hard sounbites."

  • His radio show segments are all taped and edited.

    Jime Rome never does radio live.

    As you can tell by this mishap on live TV.

  • this guy is the worst shit that ever happen to sports radio, this fucker like to shit on everybody but he has somebody sscreening his call so nothing bad can be said about him, plus his interviews are the worst, i stopped listening or even watching him about a year ago, wasn't this cocksucker irrevealant about ten years ago? get a job somewhere in satellite radio so i don't even have to hear his fucking voice during radio commercials about his jungle, fuck him and his clones

  • show me a radio show without a call screener.

  • it's sad that these tv hosts can't even ad lib like a fucking sentence. there just robots who read teleprompters.

  • Jim Rome sucks. he deserves it. lol

  • Soccer is awesome...if you are a girl or a boy-under 10 years old.

    Otherwise it blows...tippy toe, tippy toe, kick!

  • nope

  • I HATE JIM ROME.

  • yeah i hate his over-generalizations especially with soccer because he shows how ignorant he is of the sport. sometimes he has good interviews though.

  • except for, as u can tell Jim Rome doesn't even write his own burns. Couldn't u tell that from the video? It's the researchers and writers who come up w his "personal opinions"

  • do u think lettermen and leno come up with the jokes or just say them on tv reading a Teleprompter

    All they do is read from a teleprompter

  • but he's spoes to be a bad ass and he can't even read the fucking paper in his hands how gay

  • oh yeah, antiwar morons who think the manual buzzer is some sort of vulture.

  • Jim needs to stop smoking the hippie lettuce.............. he sucks

  • he is burning alright

  • jim rome is an idiot. he never has any idea what hes talking about.

  • did he mention they were live in miami?

  • ouch he doesnt sound too good when hes not reading.

  • It wasn't that bad. At least it's not as bad as the colts are. Then this would really be funny! :)

  • IDk listen to the last 30 second. I think he said anything the last few seconds of this clip..Ironic how he makes fun of readers or people who play recorded takes on his show..

    Sha'mon

  • Actually its chamone, and TV is completely different than radio.

  • "Actually its chamone, and TV i----

    manual buzzard ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • what is he babbling about?

  • This show sucks, but his radio show is still gold.

  • I've never been a Rome fan - not since he called Jim Everett "Chris" and thought it was hilarious - and he was the only one who did. But this is hilarious. That smug, arrogant S.O.B. deserved this. Listen, "Romie," you do this for a living. You got a true "burn?" I think you can REMEMBER what you're going to say off the top of your head. You shouldn't have to read it dawg - know what you're trying to "burn" on and do it.

  • jim rome... go fuck a goat.

  • hahahahahaha this is awesome... crash and burn!

  • who records this show?????

  • "The situation of football is that you have teams play every week. and those are matchups that are going to happen. It's not one or the other, but you have to choose which team will win. Teams will win and lose, but it all comes down to how they play on that day. Their gameday. Sunday. Its a question who starts, and that is good. To ask." John Madden at least makes sense when he talks about football, un scripted. Jim Rome, WTF?!?! What a joke.

  • Hell Rex sounded better off the top of his head and he doesnt do a show that talks about SPORTS for a LIVING.

  • speaka engrish?

  • Guy's worth 20 million and he complains....sounds like a dink in Colorado called Tom Martino.

  • Fuck Jim Rome. Couldn't have happened to a better person.

  • wow someone knows nothing about sports...

  • dude what kind of tv do u have. i have a sony bravia and it doesnt play in full hd. its still nice but it has the black bars on the top and bottom.

  • Hey, I have a Sony 40XBR800 HDTV. It's got a great picture, but for some reason is zoomed into the HD picture cutting off some of the sides. I probably have to have someone come check it out, which would cost around $100.

  • yea thats the same thing i do i just zoom it in.

  • You didn't have a take and...you suck!

  • Classic! Ah-roo-goo-lah!

    Duke is Duke. They are on TV more than, ah, Leave It To Beavahhh, reruns!

  • I listen to the jungle three hours every day. Jim is great, funny, smart, informed, best interview in the business. With his clones to say the unsayable for him he offers a unique view of american culture that transcends sports.

  • Ehhh...it's more like he enjoys bashing people and then pretending he understands sports. Maybe we should skip 4:30 on ESPN and just hit up ATH and PTI.

  • Best thing anyone has saidlol

  • That's exactly what I do. Rome's a joke.

  • Exposed as a newsreader. Badly.

  • DannyD84, you tried to make Jim Rome look stupid but in the process made you and your editing look stupid. He had a few seconds to make up for someone else's mistakes and ended up saving a little face by making the live from Miami comment at the end. You had all the time in the world to get the audio and video in sync together and still couldn't put this together correctly and avoid mistakes.

  • litman, totally agree with you. dannyd84, you video sucks, it's live tv, jim covered well.

  • Hahaha! My editing skills? Someone on Youtube thinks my editing skills are bad, how shall I go on living life! Let me break down how I put this video on YouTube. The file was taken off my camera, then uploaded. When it was uploaded, it became out of sync. I've always said it was crappy quality. And troinquaker, it's hilarious how you say my video sucks when you post that gem on your account. Keep up the good work of posting pointless video close-ups of people screaming.

  • Rome got exposed as just a newsreader.

  • bottom line is jim rome is hilarious.people who hate him either don't have a sense of humor or have only heard and seen him in the Jim errr Chris Everett clip.

  • I loved it when Everett threw his midget ass to the floor.

  • Rome is ok, its just at times, can be an ass.

    But the Telepromter thing, WHO DOESNT READ OFF OF ONE?!?

    Not a big deal IMO if someone reads off one or not.

  • bottom line is jim rome is hilarious.people who hate him either don't have a sense of humor or have only heard and seen him in the Jim errr Chris Everett clip.

  • but,and then but. also this but, other things but im stupid

  • Aw Romie. Why don't you get in the fetal position like you did when JIM Everett threw you on your ass. Sit there and take. ahahaha

  • ERRRRRRRR!!!!! he's so overrated.

  • 5/5 stars lol he so doesn't no what to say!!!!

  • just goes to show, his TV show is a complete xerox carbon copy of his radio show. down to the last scintilla. just goes to show, he cares more about the impression he makes on the radio than on espn. BTW how tall is this guy anyway? cuz he looks awful short!!

  • three words for you, Rome, you phony imbecile: BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE!!

  • Jim Rome... the biggest ass clown there ever was

  • i seriously think some people get bored and just go down the lines of comments giving everyone a thumbs down. i mean, some of these comments cannot be taken negatively in any way

  • Lmao.... the show is take take take take... Its not something that you can think on the fly. Its written so that it can all fit together in the correct time. It would be very difficult for him to try to think of each take on th e fly..by just looking at some highlights.. The funny part is..on the radio the next day..everyone had a laugh out of it and Rome said that it was not one of there better days on tv.

  • this wasnt that bad at all.

  • Hey, I don't really care about this show, but does anyone know the song that kicks in about 40 seconds in?

  • Who the hell actually listens to jim Rome? It's the same damn thing. Jim tells news story DEAD SILENCE Jim makes joke DEAD SILENCE Jim then repeats the joke DEAD SILENCE Jim rephrases the joke DEAD SILENCE Jim reads a "hilaaaarious" e-mail from a "sports star" DEAD SILENCE.

  • not impressive...

  • Wow that was the worst improv skills ever Jim Rome sounded like worse than Miss South Carolina there, Hell he's suppose to be a Sports talk host yet he can't think off the cuff about the Superbowl matchup, what an Idoit.. That grl got asked about maps with no writers he got asked about the Superbowl when thats his profession

  • TiVO rocks

  • honestly nothing terrible even happens. you people are ridiculous.

    miss teen south carolina was waaayyy worse.

  • CAN YOU SAY MISS SOUTH CAROLINA! LIKE SUCH AS THE IRAQ! haha

  • ok I guess he is fake. I think payton manning should take his job, and stiet allover his fake ass tennis boys face. But really is he that fake or was this just a screw-up he pronouced the great brian urlachers name wrong I bet he cares less about sports and more about popularity. I now belive he is as fake as a politcian

  • disastrous. he exposes himself for the stuffed shirt he is.

  • hey, the point of a telepromter is to have a written out routine. its unfortunate but if he didn't use the telepromter it would be worse. clearly you don't understand how shows like this actually work.

  • That just goes to show you that he is a fake ass dooshebag.

    Comming to you live from Miami, as you can tell.

    LOL!!!!!

  • where did he mess up? I thought he did a wonderful job.

  • man, he is lost..it just shows how useless all these TV people really are without the words all nice & typed to them on the screen

  • i wouldn't characterize what happened as a meltdown! it was just really awkward!

  • Hey Rome, Jim Everett kick your ass lately?

  • lmao

  • you mean Chris Everett?

  • jim rome has gotta know to shut his mouth up..

    jim everett got made at him because rome called him chris everett who is a female tennis player

  • but but but hey rome go and work on local radio you ugly bastard.

  • Just solid proof that Jim Rome is a fraud. Like 90 percent of the others, his writers see what everyone else is talking about and run with it. He has no sports-related opinions of his own. The only sports gurus are local beat writers and sportstalk radio hosts. The national guys are tell us nothing. The only thing that Rome knew when that teleprompter stopped working is that Peyton Manning is good and Rex Grossman has been critized. Who in the hell doesn't know that? ESPN SUCKS!!

  • BEAT writers? what aren't they just called WRITERS? Do they write about people getting beat??

  • Although it would be pretty entertaining to read about people getting beat, I meant beat reporters. It is a term used to describe reporters that focus on a particular sector or issue. For instance, a local guy that follows a particular football team on a daily basis (practices, press conferences, lockroom interviews) will and should be able to provide more insight than some whackjob that works for a national outlet such as ESPN.

  • How many times can he say "coming to you live.......from miami"?

    He looks like a college student on his first ever audition.

  • wow, a good sportscaster would actually be able to come up with stuff and not sound like a dumbass. god i hate him.

  • I love seeing Jim Rome squirm. He's such a skeezy douche nozzle.

  • love how the music kicks up..."the running situation...the indianapolis colts" then the music turns up

  • haha dude! Thanks for posting this as a video. I had this on DVR for like 3 months. I DVR Rome is Burning everyday and it was uncomfortable watching this but sooo funny.

  • Must be any local sports talk host after this disappointing display. Let em in.

  • Haha, no one is knocking on the door. It's crappy quality, I know that much. Hell, I took it with a digital camera and can't expect it to be any better.

  • It does sound like someone knocking on the door

  • Wow, because we, the listeners expect him to bring his A-Game we are dumbasses? He's on ESPN he's a pro and plays like he is bigger then life. So when we expect it and get less, we are just supposed to accept it? What makes this guy above critisism? He's a great interviewer. But if it wasn't for the clones, and constantly repeating their takes what would the show sound like How about thisless slang and crap and more stats and actual sports talk. Why does he always look so pissed? More bran?

  • does anybody know the song that plays in the background

  • This looks pretty rough for Rome, although I always did think he was kind of a douche. I'd watch him more, but listening to every sentence as if it was a command from on high does get exhausting.

  • The point is that he bags on callers who write their takes, so he's open to the same bagging when he can't even give his own takes. Personally, I don't care to watch the opening or final burns because he's already said the EXACT same thing on the radio a couple of hours earlier.

  • rome is a fag queen jew and he is jealous of pro athletes b/c he's a gay shrimp. what a queer. if i ever saw him on the street, i would dump whatever i was drinking on his head b/c a punch would kill the gay

  • him being jewish is relevant why??

  • He does write all his own stuff. Go ahead and write several dozen lines of commentary and then try to remember it all without being able to read it back.

    Not only that, go ahead and recite it on live television.

    Cut 'em some slack, will ya?

  • couldnt happen to a bigger prick

  • Yes, they use teleprompters.

    And Santa Claus doesn't exist - those presents are from your mommy and daddy.

    Idiots.

  • rack him

  • Fuck you Jim is the shit and everybody except you thinks so.

  • When Jim was on the first time with ESPN it was more interesting than his show now.. There are too many experts out there who have more insight than Jim, Yet it seems when you watch his show now it`s like your watching the enquirer of sports, too many personal thoughts not enough facts..PTI is the show for that and there good at it Jim suck`s.

  • I think from now on I am going to hire other people to write witty remarks for me instead of coming up with my own in these comment sections.

  • i didnt realize he didnt write his own stuff. at least say somethin

  • i remember watching this i thought he was retarded or somethin

  • i'm sure you'd all do fine in the same situation.

  • Jim must still be crashing and "burning" after this one. HOW ABOUT NO MORE TELEPROMPTERS?

  • He's terrible.

  • Rome wasn't just burning, he was CRASHING and BURNING! I love when Jim Everett pwned him back in the day after Jim Rome kept calling him "Chris".

  • Dude, that was so fake!

  • Jim Rome is a hack.

    He is the Sean Hannity of sports reporting.

    I love this clip exposing his true lack of brain power and talent.

  • ToBeAGooner is a hack. He is the true hack of hacks.

  • if you listen to his radio show and then what the espn show he says the same exact stuff on tv as he said earlier on the radio, the guy does three hours of live radio mon-fri can you balme him for wnating to do this half hour show off a telepromter

  • I wish the audio was synched on this video
