Broadcaster Jim Rome has always tried to be edgy and confrontational. It works to an extent, but not always the way that he wants.
The best example of this came in 1994 when he was interviewing quarterback Jim Everett.
Everett was a good but not great QB who had been traded from the LA Rams to the New Orleans Saints.
Everett had struggled with the Rams and in one game had been hit so many times that he reflexively went down before the defense got to him. It’s a pretty human thing to do but quarterbacks are expected to stand up to a certain level of punishmnent and there was a perception that Everett didn’t.
