Jim Rome: Angels fan

by Higz on May 21, 2007 2:25 PM PDT

Anybody watch Rome is Burning today? The subject of the "Final Burn" was how the Angels are the new L.A. team. He was absolutely merciless slamming the Dodgers and basically singing the Angels praises, and he destroyed Jeff Kent in the snottiest way possible. It was just awesome. Anybody who responds to this with the tired "Jim Rome is a dick" comment wasn't watching today's show.

When you're hot

Jim Rome is your biggest booster.

totally

but still, it was pretty funny

You know

I was watching that today, too... Generally, Jim Rome just says things to piss people off, and I'd venture a bet that he's doing nothing different at the moment.

I would believe him to be an Angel fan simply based on demographics and his locale, though I think he's just ruffling some Chavez Ravine feathers for the sake of backlash. He's a glutton for big mouths, and picking on (one of the) biggest douche bags in the game (Jeff Kent, et al) would almost assuredly get him some high profile returned guff.

I want a transcript of that, though, because I need to show it to my friends and how scathingly merciless his decimation of the Dodgers was.

He's said more than once

that he grew up a Dodger fan, and that Ron Cey was his favorite player.

So, Will Farrell is a dick, then too?

Also from Irvine...

Hey

I'm from Irvine. Salmon used to live there and Mark Mcquire lives there too. Best city other than Anahiem in OC.

No offense

But that's just laughable. I'll choose the color of my own home, thanks.

Wait...he did what?

by ReggieBullits on May 21, 2007 8:34 PM PDT up reply actions

burn

hahaha, so true. It's also pretty hard to find a gas station in Irvine when all the business signs are 3 feet tall.

I still want to DFA Hillenbrand

by Hutch (someone took my name) on May 21, 2007 9:00 PM PDT up reply actions

Are there gas stations here?

(I also live in Irvine)

I usually have to drive all the way to Tustin to fuel up! ;)

Yeah

It's the tan stucco building surrounded by hedges and/or palm trees. Know where I mean?

by ReggieBullits on May 22, 2007 9:20 AM PDT up reply actions

You sure?

Because you just perfectly described my Irvine apartment complex...

And the grocery store across the street, come to think of it...

And all of the 15 Starbucks locations...

by HeyLegacy on May 22, 2007 10:51 PM PDT up reply actions

is that what that is?!

Dude, I used to drive between San Diego and LA every weekend, and I'd want to stop in Irvine to fill up, and I could never find a station!

I drove for 15 minutes after getting off the 5, never finding one, my car almost imploding from the lack of fuel.

Too much time in I.V., I guess

U can study buzzed (UCSB)... enough said.

Yeah, '86 never happened to me, either!

Because I was a freshman at UCSB that quarter....

So I take it you chased some

weed induced munchies with some Woodstock's pizza back in the day?

Woodstocks! MMMMMMMMMM.

Woodstocks!

Gotta love the wheat crust! And how they fill it with pizza sauce! Never went to the SB Woodstocks, but I was a regular at the one in SLO.

Easy on UCSB

I am an alumni.

You are two people in one?

Alumnus = 1 person
Alumni = 2 people

And surely, you drank like a fish on Tuesday nights just as you did on Friday nights. DP, ST, FT, it all blended into one as you stumbled from slum to slum in IV.

Okay....

Is that why all the tools from Poly kept showing at parties in IV? I was always amazed at all the shit those losers would talk on UCSB, yet they kept showing up. Your little barb is a good reminder of this.

Better School, Better location, and most importantly better looking women.
