Randy, from Colorado, starts talking and, clearly a bit nervous, he
says "ahhhh" three times. Third time he says it, the buzzer goes.
Rome: "I'm sorry Randy, but I had to put you out of your misery.
You're not having a good day." Then Rome restates the simple rules he
has for his callers: "Have a take, don't suck and if you're going to
hang on the phone for 45 minutes, you better have your stuff
together."

Question: How long would Rome last hosting a morning on Radio Sport
in New Zealand? Compared to the chumps who ring up (and host) that
station, the mildly stumbling Randy sounds like the silver-tongued Sir
Humphrey on Yes Minister.

Morrissey mate, I've seen you post here a few times. What are you trying to
prove? Here's a suggestion for you. Go to the local pub, buy yourself a beer
and drink it. Repeat process a few times till you feel singing at the top of
your voice is a good idea. Then go home and give the ol' wife a good
rogering. You'll forget all about Radio Sport and its hosts ...

Jim Rome also famously got into a live on TV fight whilst interviewing
an American Footballer. Took the piss out of the guy who told him to
say it to his face again. So he did and it all went off. Big balls for
a pipsqueak.

And now another fellow is taking it upon himself to guide, and to impart a few life skills to the Breen-ster (hey, guys, that's MOI!) I mean, just look at what our chum "Rats" <Ra...@nowhere.man.com> wrote in message news:<bfkmjk$fmdjq$1...@ID-35866.

But it's not that easy, is it, Rick? You read this writer's posts,
from top to toe. Admit it, my friend: this writer's posts are
compelling. Perhaps you'd like to join the Breen Discussion Group,
where a number of like-minded individuals gather to discuss my works.
It's sort of modelled on the Bible discussion groups and the Chomsky
discussion groups that have proved so influential in the past.

I remember it well, Bulldog. The player was Rams quarterback Jim
Everett, who had been taking a pasting in the local (Los Angeles)
media, including Jim Rome, for being allegedly "soft". Well, despite
this constant slagging, Everett ends up being interviewed by Rome, who
accidentally on purpose calls him "Chris", in a rather childish
reference to female tennis player and fellow Angeleno Chris EVERT.
First couple of times, Everett lets it pass, but the third time, he
says, quietly and evenly: "Jim, I've heard you calling me that for a
long time now and I'm asking you not to."

There it is - the moment that, some time in our lives, we've all faced
in one form or another. The challenge laid down that simply must be
answered. There is no escape. Your whole future, your whole
existence depends on how you handle this crisis. Jim Everett has
played for years in the NFL, but this is as serious and critical a
situation as he has ever faced. A local sportscaster is taunting him,
casting aspersions on his masculinity, and it's going out on
nationwide TV....

For a moment - a loaded, tension-filled moment - there is silence.
And then, with shocking suddenness, Everett explodes into action! He
jumps up and lunges for Rome's throat - but luckily for Rome, the low
coffee table between them impedes him, and although he grabs Rome by
his lapels, he is unable to do any serious damage before the floor
crew rush in to separate them. It's over in seconds, but it will
live on in sporting lore. Everett has "de-wimped" himself, and Rome
has made himself into an instant celebrity.
