Foppa Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Jim Rome's candid take on Callahan: 9-27-2005 Someone needs to wake Beau Bridges up in Lincoln. Clearly he has lost his mind if he thinks what he’s doing in Nebraska is the same thing as coaching in the NFL. Bridges was quoted as saying, “People make a bigger deal out of that than I would expect. As a ball coach, I’m being honest with you. You have to be able to adapt. It’s not that hard. If you asked Steve Spurrier, he’d tell you the same thing….it’s just coaching football.” Uh, no it isn’t. If it were just ‘coaching football’ then your defense wouldn’t have more touchdowns than your offense. And they do, 4-3. That’s not ok. If the defense is getting the ball into the end zone more than the offense, your ‘coaching is coaching’ philosophy sucks. Beau Bridges? Quote Link to comment
BigRedSmitty Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I heard his comments, and by the way this is not the first time he has unloaded on Coach C. As much as I agree with Rome's comments, I am wondering if Rome is just being Rome and flapping his jaws, or does he really hate Coach C. Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 My guess is the a$$hole has had problems before with BC. And BC does not appear to be the type to kiss a$$. But in honesty I could care less what Rome has to say. He is a jerk and has always been one. He was anti Nebraska when Frank was here and thought our offense belonged in a cave. Who gives a crap what the moron thinks. Quote Link to comment

DaveH Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Jim Rome is a tool. No two ways about it. He embodies the word like no other can. Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Jim Rome is a tool. No two ways about it. He embodies the word like no other can. As far as the Beau Bridges comment, he looks a lot like him, so I guess that is where he is going with that. My favorite Rome interview was the one where he kept calling Jim Everett, Cris, then when he got pissed and threatened to beat his ass, Rome ran like a lost little schoolgirl. What a biggidy bitch!

roadrat Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Rome is just another guy with a sports err talk show. He has to bash things to keep it interesting. As far as I'm concerned Rome's show was obsolete after one year. Rack me. I'm out. Quote Link to comment
nu4everfan15 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 his voice is just sooo annoying... 2 minutes of that and i hafta turn it to something else, how does that stay on tv Quote Link to comment
formerfan Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 He was anti Nebraska when Frank was here.... Not true, he did host a "Tour Stop" from the Varsity Sports Bar (downtown) in Omaha after NU won the NC in 95, and he has always said good things about the people of Nebraska. You may not like him, but he makes you think Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 You may not like him, but he makes you think Yea, about how much I would like to punch him in the throat. Quote Link to comment
indianahusker Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Jim Rome is a tool. No two ways about it. He embodies the word like no other can. He's just trying to stir things up since he has no original ideas of his own. Quote Link to comment
dbetz23 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Yea I am sick and tired of ESPN's afternoon line up with "first and 10, jim rome, around the horn, and PTI". I only watch PTI because all the other shows (including PTI) talk about the same crap, its like watching the same show with the same opinions. oh well Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 You may not like him, but he makes you think Yea, about how much I would like to punch him in the throat. LOL, I can't watch him because my wife won't let me and she would like to punch him in the throat. Quote Link to comment
TheKiD Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 In this particular case, it's Rome going over the top again. I don't agree that coaching in college and coaching in pro is the same thing. Not by a long shot. The only reason this is getting any attention is that Rome uses harsh phrases to draw attention to himself. There's alot of differences between college and pro, but the main point is.. I don't think BC really meant that coaching college and coaching pro are exactly alike, and I don't think that he means that he's coaching then like he would a pro team, because I don't think he is, things were a lot more complex when he was at oakland. Rome has a point but, should think about things a bit more before he goes blabbing. Quote Link to comment
