dude, thats older than the internet itself.

 

[NLB2]

You exagerate...
Sorry that its old, though.

 

[Dujour]

:lol Is this real?

 

[Teflar]

Haha, I have no idea what happened, but some dude got owned. :lol

 

[Dan]

What the hell?

What is that show, who are those people and how did it ever come to that?

people seriously don't know?

thats Jim Rome minus goatee getting owned by former shitty LA Rams quarterback Jim Miller, who Rome had a tendency to refer to as "Chris Everett" (as in, the female tennis player) on Rome's old ESPN2 show.

Chris Everett is a female tennis player. Homeboy in the video is obviously not.

DAMN YOU SCOOTER

 

[Ninja Scooter]

the fact that anyone would want to interview Jim Everett should tip you off that this is older than dirt. Still, watching Rome get owned never gets old :lol

If I'm watching ESPN, it's to watch actual sports, not the idiotic sensationalistic talk shows they have. I don't have a clue who any of those announcers and commentators are. Beyond that, I also do not follow any professional sports.

Chris Evert was one hot little number.

cool vid champ

Anyway why would they call him Chris Everett?
Big mouth desserved it.
He's like a preppy frat boy that hides behind cops.
In the case security and a camera!

I thought it was fake because of the mad tv thing at the end. He looks likethe oldest Brady.

That clip is really old, but I sure do love it. Particularly how Everett makes a threat, and Rome doesn't give a fuck....just comes right back and calls him "Chris." He doesn't even try and slip it into the conversation, he just says it right back at him :lol

If it was MAD TV, then it wouldn't be funny and you would hear a really grating laugh-track after every other sentence.

 

[Dilbert]

It's real, and very, VERY old.

Jim Everett had a reputation for being a "soft" quarterback, and actually famously "sacked himself" on one infamous play -- if memory serves, it pretty much cemented a loss for the team.

Jim Rome, the asshole that he is, kept calling him "Chris Everett" -- meant to sound like the tennis player, although it's spelled differently -- to imply that he was a woman, aka pussy, aka soft player. As far as I'm concerned, that little shit-talker got what he deserved.

Mod TV. Moderntv.com is the site hosting it.

And also, it's a clip from which I never tire. If you've listened to Jim Rome for any period of time, I hope you agree.

God bless Jim Rome for providing me with years of sports-related mirth. I remember seeing this video way back in the day when it first happened - TV stations were all like "LOOK AT THESE CRAZY AMERICANS AND THEIR SPORTS MADNESS". Good stuff.

 

[ToxicAdam]

Remember that awful "Any Given Sunday" football movie by Oliver Stone? They sort of recreated that scene in his movie (Some asshole reporter gets punched).


Jim Rome is fun to listen to for about 10 days ... then you get tired of his shit.

Oats 'n Hay.

 

[Incognito]

Jim Rome is a tool. He's the HS waterboy who's jealous of the athletes and likes to run his mouth.

RACK MEEEEEEEE!!!

Flamer.

One of my favorite takes ever:

The WNBA is threatening to strike.

The WNBA........is threatening to strike?! The WNBA.......is threatening.......to strike?!

How does THAT happen? I mean, what are they asking for? More oats and hay?

Before you strike....shouldn't your league...oh, I don't know......HAVE SOME FANS? I mean seriously, if there is no PAID ATTENDANCE, then how do you PAY THE PLAYERS?

OH NO, DON'T GO ON STRIKE! HOW WILL WE EVER MAKE IT THROUGH THE SUMMER WITHOUT THE WNBA? I didn't see enough MISSED LAYUPS and SET SHOTS last year at Clippers' games. And now the WNBA......is going on strike?

I say, PLEASE DO GO ON STRIKE! Please.....go....on.....strike! The worst threat you could make would be to threaten.....TO EXTEND THE SEASON. This is how these negotiations should go:

WNBA Players Association: "We're threatening to go on strike."

David Stern: "Uh, that's fine. We don't have any money to pay you because you don't have any fans."

WNBA Players Association: "Ok then, we'll extend the season. WE'LL PLAY MORE!"

David Stern: "WHOA! EVERYBODY JUST CALM DOWN! Let's not lose our heads here, ladies. Let's just take a deep breath and get ahold of ourselves. How about I contract the Grizzlies and use the savings to invest in a hay and oats farm outside Memphis?"
