Jim Rome in his Prime

For those of you who are not Romies! You MUST watch this interview Jim Rome gave to Jim Everett. I was trying to find his radio show here in Seattle and look through Wikipedia to find the answer. In Jim Rome's Wikipedia page, there's a 'incidents section.' This is a must read:

Rome gained notoriety for an incident in his ESPN2 show Talk2 in 1994 when he repeatedly called NFL quarterback Jim Everett "Chris" (after Chris Evert, the female tennis player), from the argument that Everett shied away from getting hit. Appearing as a guest on the show, Everett warned Rome about repeating the insult and then challenged Rome to do so. When Rome did, Everett overturned the table between them and shoved Rome to the floor while still on the air.
(Needless to say, I looked it up the 'incident' on youtube...absolutely incredible. haha, I'm laughing out loud as I type this. )

In 1997, hockey legend Gordie Howe made an attempt to play a shift with the Detroit Vipers, which would have given "Mr. Hockey" the claim of having played professional hockey in six decades. Rome challenged the 69-year-old ex-hockey star, offering a bounty of $3,000 to any player on the team playing against the Vipers to take Howe out of the game permanently by saying, "Putting this old fool back to reality". Howe and his wife threatened Rome with a lawsuit, and the bounty went away.
