Video Clip Classic, Vol 1: Jim Everett vs. Jim Rome

I saw this once, back in the day, and thought it was great. Now, thanks to Youtube, we get to see it all over again.



The year was 1994, when Jim Everett played quarterback for the Lambs. It became increasingly obvious to scouts and fans that Everett was gradually becoming afraid of contact, and it affected his play. Jim Rome noted this, and subsequently referred to Everett as "Chris" (after tennis player Chris Evert), effectively calling him a woman.

In this clip, Everett puts an end to it. In case you haven't seen it, I won't spoil it for you.

To this day, Rome refuses to talk about the confrontation, only referring in passing to "the incident."

Back then, I just thought Jim Rome was a punk ass with an attitude that was much more smug than necessary. Now I just think Jim Rome is a punk ass with an attitude that is much more smug than necessary.

Oh, well. At least it's entertaining.
