VJS is numero uno! He called the debut of one of the first horses I ever had at Gulfstream in '03 and I hear the stretch call of that race everytime I hear VJS call a race.

I'm sure the opposing connections loved the call as well.

It's impossible for Rome to not have one (or both) of the following:

1) A parent that was highly abusive (in some way)

2) A personality disorder

The video seems like fun T.V. etc., but actually it's shows he is sick. Everette is asking him for one thing. Once Rome finds out what the guy wants the most(to stop calling him Chris,) he refuses to give him it. That is opposite of what mentally healthy people would do.

Mentally healthy people usually dont
egg-on pro football players to beat the crap out
of them. I guess Rome thought Jim Everett was
a light-weight, which he may have been in football.

Interviewing is not pro football. He found that out...
Laying on his back. I dont really listen to the guy
that much anymore so I dont know if he has grown
up.

I love Rome and his show. The jungle is awesome and filled with many a personality disorder. I think it's great that he's changed his tune on horse racing. He actually promotes it going into great detail about the first time "Manny" won and the excitement and exhilaration that he felt. That type of plug will do more for the game of horse racing rather than any commercial or gimmick.

I cannot stand Jim Rome. I never have liked him. But it is good to have him in horse racing.

I used to watch his TV show and I couldn't stand him. I don't like being talked down to by a guy with no discernable talent.

I'm with you here. Wasn't the slightest bit interested during the "Chris Everett" days. Then a few years ago, moved to Jacksonville, away from Mike and the Mad Dog, and had no choice but to listen. It took a while, but I finally got it. He's actually changed alot and is definitely not what his reputation indicates. He covers many touching and heart-warming sports stories, and does it the right way. The "smack" stuff in only a part of what he's about, and even that grows on you after a while.

I will.

He may have grown up.
He just seemed so full of himself.

The callers used to be horrible though.
Of course one can turn it off during that segment.

Get Sirius. The cost is equal to feeding a starving African kid.
