Jim Rome now works for cbs???

[ttwarrior1]

did he quit or get fired from espn. I saw his friday show and he went off on a few people and i was like wtf and he looked angry.

He is on cbs right now and has a new show on some cbs sister channel now

[RyanLeafOfBets]

Yep, Jim Rome is useless...

[ttwarrior1]

lmao a showtime show??? He must of been getting ready to get canned. I don't even have showtime.

[YouMama]

CBS Sports, Im sure they overpaid him .. Getting That Paper $$$$$$

[bswagos]

From what I understand he was offered another contract at ESPN but he choose to follow a producer and long time friend over to CBS.

[Balco10]

I wish I could of viewed his last show.

6pm on CBS Sports Network starting April 3rd.

Loved that time Jim Everette threw his yuppie clone ass across the studio for calling him Cris.

I just saw him on the Pre-Game show and he is good at what he does, but the move doesn't make much sense. Watching sports coverage on CBS is like watching MSNBC, they both have $$$ but don't have a clue what they are doing.

[Chi_archie]

guy takes 10 mins to say what should take 1 min to say on the radio.

when I drive from PA or OH to Chicago or vice versa I often can only get him or rush on the radio in Indiana....

not a fan

Yet he makes about $30MM a year just from his radio show.

I would expect to see a CBS Sports channel a la what NBC just did. This is just the first move. ESPN is going to lose its dominance because they have been lazy in recent years. Just like MTV went away from music videos, ESPN has gone away from sports highlights.

I would have thought he made more actually. He has some very very very fanatic fans, I don't deny that

[Bcatswin]

I don't mind him. He's controversial good for Sports talk. Players like him for the most part.

[sickler]

He's a radio guy.....his personality doesn't translate well to tv.

[ttwarrior1]

30 mill? im sure your way off on that one. Not even a million im sure

[Chimneyfish]

[ChuckyTheGoat]

SBR_John, funniest thing ever.

You don't have showtime because you can't afford it...

[YouMama]

I stream shotime online, I cant afford it either

Don't be a fatfukk dumbass your entire life, k?

James Andrews Miller, who co-authored a book about ESPN last year, tweeted a reminder about Rome's popularity, saying that the yearly income from his radio show alone is $30 million.

[McBa1n]

Ugh, Rome is a joke. I remember when I moved out of radio range of WFAN outta NYC, it was a joke listening to the espn radio crap and Rome. Ugh, lunch time with Rome is unbearable.

[sickler]

Radio, yep. I'm often in the car, it's that or music.

TV, nope

[No coincidences]

Champion for braindead sports fans.

[ttwarrior1]
