The Rome/Everett Fight and the Story Behind it

  • In this video I take a look into the backstory behind a famous clip that I've seen multiple times and wondered about. I look into why a seemingly innocent interview with a football player in 1994 turned slightly violent after the host called his guest "Chris" several times.

    Jim Everett seems like a good, honest, kind dude. It is unfortunate that he was put in a stupid situation like this one. Jim Rome is a jerk who did all this for ratings and money. He made lots of money for it...

      You seem like an informed consumer.
      There was nor is anything ethically wrong with making comparisons about people as long as the criteria being compared remain constant (as part of an equation, for example).
      However, Rome was CLEARLY passive aggressively instigating Everett for his relatively poor playoff performances.
      I also had the thought that Rome needed a rating boost/increase to justify the continuation of the show. I has the sense that the intention was to garner a ratings increase with his instigation stunt.
      Thoughts? Hope to hear back.

    Think this video didn't have the best title if I'm being honest.
    I didn't click the last few times I saw it
    A. Becuase not kitchen nightmares (which I now don't mind becuase this video was great.)
    B. The title made no sense and I didn't recognize the people in the thumbnail being Scottish and just conceived when it happened.
    Your needing something like
    'A Tale of 2 Jim's | Rome/Everett Revisited'
    Never call this NFL player Chris | Rome/Everett Revisited'
    Just ideas, but your current title doesn't POP!
    Your making good content, although I did show you to my mum (sixteenleo is her fav, becuase of Skippy and Big Ed).
    My mum said the newest kitchen nightmares revisited was too long and you just narrating, but she enjoyed the actual followup you do.

    You needed to point out Jim Rome loved to get under people skin. This is who he was and is. If he didn't like something about you. You could tell because he didn't hide it. He knows he's a jerk. Jim Everett wasn't a great QB. We are talking about the 80s and 90s. When you called a man a women. That was one of the worse insults you can say to him. Jim Rome knew exactly what he was doing. And to the people who going to say women are equal to men. Yes they are. But in certain areas you can't compare them as equal. One is being in professional football. There things that men are just better at than women. And then, There things men can't handle what a women can. Like giving birth. The pain a mother has to go through giving birth. A man wouldn't be able to handle that pain for 2 seconds.
