Its 10:20 PST, he says he is going to talk about it later in the show.

Well, what did he say?

anatta · #3 01-04-2005, 02:58 PM

Still waiting to hear it. The final hour is coming up so I guess he'll have to get to it soon...or not.

He said he didn't get to it, and "will reset that story...possibly...tomorrow". So tune in Wednesday if you are interested.

I've got a feeling Rome will somehow work in a few of the following into his "take":

How he's fat
How poker players are fat
Poker is full of degenerates playing in a smoky room
The Dogs Playing Poker painting
Comparing poker to other sports that aren't sports

Also translate "resetting that story" into rewriting the take.

Kevin...

And he'll just sort of reiterate each of these points over and over with extra-long pauses in between for effect. He could do his whole show in like three sentences, then it's just repeating himself. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

It's too bad "Chris" didn't really beat the crap out of him way back when.

His "takes" on the OJ' are friggin hillarious...pure Cali whiteboy...not sure if thats a good or bad thing. His forays into television have been pretty much disasterous...with his latest offering just behind "cold pizza" in entertainment value... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Is it just me or is ESPN trying a little to hard to branch out??....Sometimes you got to stick with what got you there. An original movie on Dale Earnhardt starring Barry Pepper...dont think ill be watching that one anytime soon.

This was the point when I started paying attention to Rome. Really respected him for it and thought it was very funny. Then I started listening to his show on and off on the radio for two years and spent about every day calling him an idiot. Of course, that is what makes many sports talk radio hosts so good.
