I know people hate Jim Rome. This is pretty funny:

Where's the fuckin power box, Carol? -
I used to like his radio show back in the 90s in the early stages.
I heard like 5-10 years back that he was worth like $75 million?? I was stunned to hear that.Comment -
Jake, Rome is worth some serious bank. More than you think.Originally posted by JAKEPEAVY21
One of his old bits was to rag on the Horse Racing guys. "It's a bet." He later owned horses with some of his loot.

Chucky, yes I'm aware that he is/was in the horse ownership game.Originally posted by ChuckyTheGoat
His Youtube channel does not have many subscriptions so I'm guessing he has fizzled out the past 10 years or so. Lucky for him he already made a ton of money years back.Comment -

1) You could be right. I don't hear about Jim as often now.
2) Yes, he made good money.
3) Not sure how up-to-date the info is. But reports say he still makes a healthy salary.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Chucky, I could be wrong but in this new era of inclusion, political correctness and being overly sensitive I'm thinking Rome went by the wayside as he has always been outspoken and more of a shock jock type.Originally posted by ChuckyTheGoatComment -
You could be right. He was all over the radio about 12 years ago.Originally posted by JAKEPEAVY21
I have my own opinion. He was always well-prepared. He easily did 3+ hours of prep for each show. And he has proven to be a very good interviewer. I don't begrudge him success.
All that said, the Jim Everett clip will go down as an all-timer. For all the listeners who disliked Rome, he got his comeuppance in a big way!Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment
