If I saw Jim Rome out on the street I would probably not argue with him, but i would get into my car and just run his ass over, then throw it in reverse and back over him over and over again.(nah i really wouldnt, but i would kick him in the balls!) no really, i just saw one of his rants and he unleashed another attack on soccer (why? i dont know.) anyway, i was just wondering what everyone else would do or say to him. what do you guys think of him? drop a line.
I'd shake his hand and thank him for doing his show which has provided me with endless hours of entertainment during my lunch hour. Then I would say, "Hey, Romey, watcha doing on Saturday? Wanna go to a Burn game?"
yeah i was thinking to do that too, but i liked the idea of running him over with my car better. then after kicking him in the balls (little ones probably) i would tell him i couldnt have kicked any harder without soccer skills. thanks jim.
What's the big damn deal. Rome is one guy who shares his negative opinions on soccer to his listeners, so what? His opinons mean nothing to anyone other then the mindless sycophants that want to be just like him. The losers who lack the ability to actually think for themselves. Thank goodness they don't come to soccer games, I wouldn't want to sit next to those assbags anyway.
I would tell hey this is America and thank God and all the Vets out there for our right to free speech, then I would launch into a diatrabe of my own about how overpaid non-athletes get to spout off about things they know nothing about.
I must have accidently tripped and fallen into an alternate universe--10 posts on the subject and nobody has thrown the epithet, "JOCKSNIFFING TOOL".
Poor Ty, we will leave him alone now. Let Rome say what he wants, as true soccer fans, we should just enjoy the game and do what we can to support it and help build the fan base. I for example coach and ref, and still play soccer. I coach at the youth level and work on getting the organizations I am involved with to goto MLS or A-League and even PDL games when we can. Even take my teams to the College games and have them be ball girls or boys. Be part of the solution instead of mouthing off about the problem.
I doubt the guy would be such a dick in person, especially in a one-on-one situation. Maybe if there was an audience around to watch him "drop some smack", he wouldn't be so nice. Otherwise, I doubt it. I mean, if Chris Everett jumped him in an alley instead of on camera, he'd be eating out of feeding tube today. So, I would invite him to an MLS game and see what he says. I'd probably take him to a Galaxy game since he is in LA. I bet he has been to the Home Depot Center at least once already to see the Galaxy. He is a journalist after all, and journalists have to go check things out for themselves before developing an opinion, right? - Paul
What has he been saying about soccer? I don't watch his show, because I hate sports analysts and he's a coasty . Why should he get paid when everyone and their mom are "sports analysts" We don't need these meatheads watching our sport anyways. The last thing I want to see is the MLS being forced into marketing Adu like Labron James. We see how well that's helping NBA. Ugh *gag*
If someone introduced me to him in a bar or something, I would ask 'Who is Jim Rome'? Seriously. The only thing I have ever heard out of his mouth is the tape of him getting beat up by Everett. In fact, the radio station that carried him in Chicago just dropped his show because the ratings were shyte.
most likely i would just laugh my little ass off at the mere sight of that mama's boy - him coming to confront me would be too much to hope for
I would lower my slacks. Then, I would gingerly move my testicles through the slot on the front of my boxer briefs. When Rome's eyes popped out of his head at the perfect roundness, the shininess, and the impressive heft of my testicles, I would permit him to take a single lick.
Really? No more Rome polluting WMVP? After only about 3 months? God, let it be so. My respect for my fellow Chicagoans will skyrocket.
i would kidnap him and take him to my house and make him watch all of my soccer tapes. and hopefully that would kill him.
