[Chip R]

Sorry I didn't post this sooner but I heard he is going to be on this hour 2-3 p.m.

Jungle Karma... I won't listen to this, even as much as I would like to. I have a personal embargo on anything Jim Rome related.

[goreds2]

Give us a report please.

Where is his show?

[MartyFan]

Rome is a bore...in addition to that he is not aired anywhere near Columbus....Dayton, I think is the closest market that he is heard in.

Give a summery of all things Special K had to say and leave out any of Jim Rome's "takes".

Right now, I'm hearing a fart soundtrack on the Jim Rome Show. Stay Classy, Jim Rome/ESPN.

I thought "Romey" was on the Excellence in Broadcasting Network.

To be fair, I don't think Rome's radio show is directly affiliated with ESPN. Lots of ESPN affiliates run it though.

Only thing good ever for Rome is hosting Pat Tillman's memorial service.

Basically, talked about Wayne's coming up through the decades in baseball. Talked alot about the player development / scouting side of the game.

Then of course talked about the deal with the Nats. Wayne said they did what they had to do for this season. He also admitted he may have overpaid, but only time will tell. They talked about how the trade has been controversial. Wayne said he expected it, but you have to trust your "baseball people", and he does. He said perhaps the trade was viewed as "bad" because your average fan doesn't know alot of the guys the Reds got in return.

At the end they mentioned how Narron and Wayne look for "baseball players" along with talent. Basically talking about the Reds belief system, which is obvious with guys like Aurilla, Hat, and now Clayton.

actually, now that they are on 50,000 watts, you might be able to catch him on 1530 the sports animal out of Cincinnati. That move happened last week and they have rome on from 12-3

Does anyone know the Jungle's website (podcasts, etc) and approximately what time the interview aired?

I don't know about that.

Rome's Jim Everett interview where Everett flipped over the table and went after Rome for one too many 'Chris' references was pure gold. I'm pretty sure Rome soiled himself when Everett made his move.

And if you're in the Dayton area, you can catch Jim Rome on 980 Homer at http://www.wone.com/main.html

Well, that's revealing... apparently clearly neither Kearns nor Lopez qualified under this rubric? What the heck? Last I checked, both of those guys could play the game (with the exception of FeLo on defense, but he was trying...) Did Kriv mention anything about what constitutes a "baseball player", because I'm starting to think that a baseball player, in our management's eyes = over 35 with a bad OPS and overrated defense (okay, so Hatte is less a part of this than Clayton and Aurilia, but you get the picture). I'm not sure about everyone else, but I'm also starting to think that Kriv is like DanO at evaluating talent. Once you factor in that he has MUCH less patience plus a crazy trigger finger, it gets kind of scary. This isn't a defense of DanO, it's just that I kind of miss the days when we were actually 'overvaluing' our good young players. Yikes.

So the average age is 29 or 30...

Rome for one too many 'Chris' references.

"Chris" woulda been bad enough, but Rome had been calling Everett "Chrissy" on the air, so Everett challenged him to say it to his face

"OK.....Chrissy"
