What impact has his career had on sports?
Normalizing pencilneck reporters getting tossed around by alpha jocks on camera

He called a man chris

Normalizing shitty "Hot Takes" format of sports radio.
Hits comedy bits are the only good part of his show. Bum smack, softball guy, etc..

Rome is alpha though

I tend to dislike any radio show where one person is talking. It's always so much better having a two (or more in the case of dan patrick) person dialog for the flow and to not make it sounds like a dead horse at times. That being said, rome may be the best at it. And he also gets pretty good callers. And he's funnier than most usually.
>answer the fucking question already, no one asked for your opinion
I don't think he's really made an impact on sports other than adding to interest in coverage on non-sports parts of sports and making more people think they know what they're talking about, despite not adding any actual value from a strategic analysis perspective. For example his best interviews are with coaches or writers talking about streaks or drama or a big game but never about real reasons a team wins or loses.

sup Chris
Rome is actually pretty great. He also usually picks pretty great guest stars like the Sklar Bros or Jay Mohr to fill in for him when he's out. I always loved the E-mail bits and takes and he doesn't seem to take the game too seriously even despite his bravado and swagger as an on-air personality. His TV show always sucked though

I really just want to beat the smug off his face.
He was the first person to really make me think
>>78282881
None: As in, the way it's supposed to be.
Also...
He's a dime-a-dozen,
garden variety,
common cunt.
Get off his lap, faggot.

this
he is the OG sports talk radio guy.
he has his normal hot take persona, which is just him dicking around, because even he knows filling 3 hours with sportstalk is bullshit. so he has "DON'T call me with bum smack, DON'T email me OJ Simpson jokes, etc"
but he is very good at interviewing and almost always has great guests.
plus he made david stern get buttmad, so that is a free pass for rattling the jimmies of a man who never got rattled

His Raiders celebration segments are based as fuck.
