Jim Rome Announcing that Travis Rodgers is leaving the Show

Rome announced that Travis Rodgers was moving on to bigger and better things. This turn of events seems very suspicious due to the fact that Jim and Travis had been close for so long, even going so far as to dedicating an extensive celebration for his 10 year anniversary working on the show. I'm not sure why Rome Didn't do a segment with Travis about him leaving, but i would guess Rome wasn't happy with him leaving after 14 Years

Did anything ever come out about what happened?

[My96XJ]

@mikecoffee23 No and we probably will never know unless Travis pops up somewhere and explains it i would guess we will never know what happened

1560 FTW!!!!

Travis is on Sporting News Radio...now Rome and KB can be happy together (not that there's anything wrong with that)

Rome's show hasn't been right since Travis left. Way too PC for my taste.

Been listening to Travis' show on podcast or streaming and happy to have the funny sports takes the way they are meant to be. Bad move cutting him loose Van Smack.

I don't think Travis was Fired. What happened was his contract wasn't renewed by the Owners. Now Jim could have said okay I'll leave the station and the XR4Ti can find a New home, but the Needs of the Many outweighs those of the few. Travis was a funny mofo though, and Kyle isn't a producer is he? I thought thats what J-Stew does?

t-rodge's show on yahoo sports radio is awesome.

im confused, i listen to jim rome and theres never anyone elseo n the show with him. what the heck are you all talking about with people not being funny or being replaced? Dont they just put calls through?

@HAPPYGILMORE3645 do you have a source for that? I seem to remember Travis saying it in an interview.

[HAPPYGILMORE3645]

Travis was fired & Rome saying it on air was first he knew of his firing. Rome is an idiot & same old same old shit these days Travis has a bad ass show here in Houston on 1560 The Game & Sporting News Radio, weekdays 3-7.

@theabevigoda Doesn't really make much sense, considering the show's become so PC, and it seems like all Rome does anymore is talk about his horsies and look for the next B-list ass to kiss. The show went from jokes about starting the Cockfighting Association of America to talking about sipping gin with some Real World douchebag and watching your pretty pony at the racetrack. Devoting an entire show to hobbies you share with their drunk grandfather isn't a good way to get a young audience.

It's getting more and more obvious that Travis was replaced by Kyle Brandt to connect with a "hipper," "younger" crowd. Travis is on a sports radio show in Houston that is independently run. I'm sure you will hear more about him in the near future, as it is gaining steam. Definitely a messy divorce, though, from his opinions on the current state of the Jim Rome Show.

Hard to believe a guy who got his own "This Is Your Life" show for his 10th anniversary with the show gets an "Oh by the way, Travis is leaving" send-off. Oh and J-Stew, Rome showed precisely how little he thinks of you by passing over you for a guy who'd been with a show for a year and a half.
