    could Jim Rome be a sports tout

    Could Jim Rome from ESPN be a sports tout selling his football picks?

    I'd say he could and he'd be a pretty fun one to hear give pitches for his big picks

    Jim rome is the most annoying human being alive. Worst televised show ever. Guy is just a shmuck.

    And that's exactly why he'd be a great tout.

    rome is good at talking out of both sides of his mouth so yes he would be a good tout

    Jim Rome is hilarious. He'd never be a tout though.

    Yup, pooled some $ with other people and their prized horse cost about a mill.

    The Smack Off is better than The Super Bowl.

    That video clip is a classic, I just wish Everett would have knocked his teeth out.

    the funny thing about rome is he always talks about after the fact something happened. He never makes predictions or says anything like before hand. I really like the guys at PTI at least their funny.

    God i love that video... has that punk Rome done a face 2 face since then? I watched his show for the first time in a long time today, hes still talking shit. Jim Everett would have crushed rome if the staff didnt get there.

    Jim Everett is one of those crazy guys that smiles when they are about to lose it. always strange to me a guy looking like this 10 seconds before hes ready to fight .

    Rome may be one step lower than a tout. He doesn't sell picks, but he WILL explain what you saw the day before w/ clairvoyance. Ergo, he is a Monday Morning QB, which puts him on the bottom of the food chain.
