I just remember several years ago, he called NFL QB Jim Everett "Chris" to imply that he played like a girl and Everett went after him & Rome ran away like a baby.

Acts of juvenile stupidity aren't limited to one side of the political spectrum.

He tries to be apolitical, but from listening to enough shows, he actually seems a bit left of center.

| 10. There was the instance of Toni Smith |
|
the female collegiate hoopster who would turn her back on the flag during the anthem as a protest of the invasion. Rome was one of the only sports talking heads who defended her.

| 12. He also ripped into Bill O'Reilly quite handily |

When he learned that one of his affiliates dumped his show out for an hour to play O'reilly's show.

| 13. Nope. In 2000 he said that he wouldn't want a president stupider than him |

He clowns Bush when he has the chance.

| 14. And his show was the first place I heard Billy Bean |
|
after Billy Bean came out of the closet. I remember thinking it was weird because I had a pretty low opinion of Rome before that, but he was very engaging and encouraging with Bean. Not typical for sports radio.

| 4. That's probably the first thing I've ever liked that has come from him |
|
He is so annoying. I probably would go Everett on him if I ever got the chance.
