Rome's schtick has kinda grown thin with me. There are better Sports Talk Radio guys out there. Unfortuantetly, Van Earl Wright isn't one of them!

Oh yeah, this apparently is a CBS Radio decision, as Charlotte's sports talk station is streaming again too. (for the first time in six years). Our local host just explained there are 24 or so radiostations around the country that this affected.

Let me know if Jim Rome was actually streamed or if he was blacked out. Our station is only streaming the local shows, and we don't get Romey in Charlotte :(

Rome! Everyone hates Rome cause he cracks on every team, and people take it way too personal.

Nah. I use to love Rome, and I still listen to him often, but I have just grown tired of his antics. He does have some great guests though and he can be very funny at times, I just think those times are fewer and more far between these days. I have been listening since way back though, like when his show was five hours long. :)

I understand why people don't like Rome, but people need to know his show is more of a sports based entertainment show. If you don't think Rome is funny, if it isn't amusing for you to hear a soundclip played into the ground, then you won't like the show. He gets good interviews but rarely asks tough questions, and he will have people on his show that he has destroyed in the past (i.e. every Nascar driver) and then kiss his ass after they come on the show. It hurts his integrity a bit, but hey, I think Rome's hilarious. I love his takes, and I'll never get tired of hearing Ryan Leaf say this...

"Stop talking to me AIGHT??"

"Knock it off!!"

"Fuckin bitch..."

:lol

Rome is boring and all his callers are shitheads; listening to his show infuriates me.

Van Earl Wright and his crew on the other hand totally rule; it is a joy to drive to work listening to their first half hour.

It streamed for awhile then it cut out, and played .. "We are unable to stream this show due to contract, we will resume streaming shortly" ..It just kept on playing that message over and over...

Hey DJ, did you hear that Bobcats/Hawks trade rumor on 610?

Atlanta Gets:
Primoz Brezec
#5 pick
Toronto's 1st round pick next year

Charlotte Gets:
#2 pick
Unnamed player (a player for Atlanta to unload)

If this is true, I can't even believe Bernie would consider this. Apparently Charlotte does not want to include Brezec in the trade but Atlanta is insisting on him or no deal.

Personally, I'd tell Atlanta to shove it and stay at #5.

I didn't hear that, and it sounded good until I saw Brezec was involved. I don't trade Primoz for the number 2 pick straight up, much less in that deal. There is so much wrong with that trade, good player + decent pick + extra pick for better pick + trash? It just doesn't add up at all. It's not like Charlotte could even benefit by taking a scrub player for cap space like most teams could (assuming they wait out the contract). If that trade goes through then I guess Shav Randolph thinks he's an NBA play....what? Shav's going pro ANYWAY? Nevermind then ;)



edit---madcow---that's what I figured would happen :( thanks anyway. I'd love to find Rome online somewhere, if anyone has a clue feel free to let me know.



edit2--Bowser, I'd consider #5 + the toronto pick straight up for #2 pick, and that's about it. I don't think Williams is worth giving up a TON for, and at 5 we'll still get either Paul/Felton/Williams at PG. The only problem is at 5 we won't have our choice of PG, we'll get whomever the Hornets and perhaps another team leave for us. To our advantage though, the Hornets will take the wrong guy. Whomever they draft, I feel confident the player they pass over will be the better player in the long run ;) In all seriousness, just like I'm not huge on Bogut/Williams, I also don't think the difference between the three PGs is that great either. I'll be happy with one of the three PGs and a shooter at 13. We already got screwed in the lottery, there's no reason to scramble and make a bad situation worse. We did well by getting those extra first round picks, we need to make them count.

I would be wiling to go 5 + toronto (lottery protected) pick for 2, but I would NOT go 5 + 13 for 2, and I wouldn't even consider trading Primoz unless someone traded us a gem for him. I'm pretty high on Primoz personally.
