Jim Rome gets a bit of a bad rap for the Jim Everett thing. Plus, it was 15 years ago. Ancient history. The truth is that Jim Everett knew that Jim Rome was going to call him Chris Everett before the filming started and didn't give any indication to the production crew that he was going to have a problem with it. Then when the filming started, Everett went all postal worker. Why did he wait til the camera was running if he wanted to confront Rome about it.
The funny thing is - Skip Bayless now is what Jim Rome was 15 years ago, a guy just looking to start some sh*t. The difference is that Jim Rome was a young guy trying to make a name for himself, and Skip is just a d*ck.
