Damn, he really has a problem w/ Corvette owners.

Something tells me this goes back to his teen years. When he came out of the closet and a guy w/ a corvette kicked his azz.

What a putz

I must have missed the joke. I didn't find any of it funny regardless of what I drive. I think Jim Rome is a waste of my time.

I sat through the whole thing trying to figure out if he was being sarcastic or not... apparently he is for real.

WHY DID YOU POST THIS HERE?!

I suspect that Jim Rome is attracted to men with small penises.

Just goes to show anyone in Los Angeles can have their own radio/TV show. If I was ESPN, I would pull him off the air. I do agree the guy driving the Corvette and trying to entice him to race was a jerk, but to lump us all together makes Jim Rome the bigger jerk.

This is a dupe.

The first time I heard this, I thought Rome was a D*ck. The second time I heard it, I still think he's a d*ck.

Reminds me of a young Rush when I was back in LA in the late 80's...

What he doesn't get is that in L.A., there is no such thing as a "fairly high profile european vehicle". A $ 250,000 car there doesn't even get a second look. It takes a 300 Sl Gullwing or a Daytona convertible to get any attention. He just needs to get off the "blower" and concentrate on his driving.....what a dink.

That LA Ram QB (Jim Everett?) should have taken him out when he had a chance.

So if any one that does not think Jim Rome is an a**hole punk please raise your hand. Just another *** LA non athlete that thinks he is so cool. Every one on the east coast laugh at him, he must be a real cool dude in LA! He is the biggest joke in NYC. He must have a real cool Porsche!!! He is the biggest loser I ever heard.

What Rome says is like saying all radio show hosts who shoot off their mouth making generalizations are d*cks. Well. pperhaps some generalizzations are true.
