Jim Rome VS Tony Reali- Whos Worse

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Both think they are hilarious when they arent.

Jim Rome has the terrible quality of thinking hes cool.

I dont think either are qualified to be on TV, this is a tough one

 

[tomson75]

Jim and Tony ARE hilarious.

Rome is far worse mainly because Rome constantly harps on the same thing throughout the show. So not only if the joke is terrible, he'll keep repeating the joke over and over, ad nauseum.

He's also not very bright. I remember years ago he did a TV show special on UFC/MMA and he knocked the sport as human cockfighting where guys would eye gouge each other. His 2 guests corrected him on that stating that eye gouging and fish hooking was not legal in UFC/MMA (with one of the guests that corrected him being against UFC/MMA, but still correcting him). Anyway, in Rome's wrapup he then goes on to say that the sport is human cockfighting where guys just eye gouge and fish hook each other. Obviously, he can't stray away from the script and it's pretty typical of what he does.

Strangely now he's all for UFC/MMA. But that's because it's popular. Another thing that typifies Rome.

When I hear Rome talking tough and commenting on players "jack" I need to switch over, he's painful to endure.

Tony's not too bad but he's not great either. He doesn't really need to much personality for ATH. For the 10 seconds he on PTI he can be more lively.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

don't like either alot.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Pfft. I really like Rome, personally, so I have no problem with him at all.

I can't stand Jim Rome. I mean c'mon. what has he ever done in his life, besides make himself look like a complete joke. His show is completely scripted and he doesnt even come up with half of the **** he says. And he repeats himself over and over. He's soo annoying. i cant watch his show. Thinking he's such a badass and talking shyt to people who have actually proven themselves in the sports buisiness.

I like both of them. *shrugs*

I don't rely on either of them to form my own opinions, but they can be entertaining at times.

Having gone to high school with as well as playing baseball with Jim Rome, I can tell you he is one-hell-of-a nice guy off screen. What you see on screen is simply a T.V. persona. Also, his show is not nearly as scripted as you might think. He is very intelligent and is perfectly capable of adjusting on the fly.

Rome's opinions are like anyone else's -- I agree with some and disagree with some.




































But I really can't stand listening to him on the radio.

































Too much dead air.

The worst person on radio is Steven A Smith and most of ESPN radio's hosts are not much better.
Cowheard is an idiot. Picture Skip Bayless as a radio host and you have Colin Cowheard.

You cant get much more ignorant than Steven Smith. I also cant stand Chris Collinsworth either. What a flake. One of my favorite guys to listen to is Mike Trico. I think thats how u spell it. He always seems like a down to earth guy.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

ESPN wasn't thinking when they hired those two...

 

[ctrous25]

both suck! Tony Reali always rips on woody and he thinks hes so cool when he does it

 

[kinderwords51]

I just feel dumbed down when i watch jim rome. I mean c'mon, who calls marijuana, tree, or hippie lettuce? I feel embarrassed watching his show, with his gay liitle quirks.

 

[Hoofbite]

I don't think Rome is all that bad. The only thing I really can't stand is all the tool-bags out there that try to call in and mimic his style and delivery and even going as far as laying down his "and I'm out" bit.

That's Jim Rome in a nutshell. He's all about delivery instead of substance.

Some people dig that. I personally do not.

Thats exactly it. He thinks its funny to have a different name for everything. Cant say grand, has to call it "gr". Cant call Micheal Jordan by his name, calls him "45" with the stupidest smirk. Calls T.O. "too".

His smart mouth almost got his *** kicked.

 

[calico]

I like Rome's show. I disagree with him alot but he cracks me up.
