Sports Illustrated's Top 10 Most Embarrasing TV/Radio Interview Moments. I thought this one was pretty funny. Anybody happen to see it when it aired?
Jim Rome continuously prodded Jim Everett about his perceived lack of toughness as an NFL signal-caller on the old ESPN show, Talk2, in 1994.
Jim Rome: You may have even been Jim Everett back there [in 1989] but somewhere along the way Jim, you ceased being Jim and you became Chris.
Jim Everett: Well, let me tell you a little secret ... that, you know, we're sitting here right now, and if you guys want to take a station break, you can. But if you call me Chris Everett to my face one more time ...
JR: I already did it twice
JE: You'd better ... if you call it one more time, we'd better take a station break.
JR: Well, its a five-minute segment, on a five-segment show. We've got a long way to go
JE: We do.
JR: We've got a long way to go. I'll get a couple of segments out of you.
JE: It's good to be here with you though ... because you've been talking like this behind my back for a long time now.
JR: But now I've said it right here, so we've got no problems then.
JE: I think that you probably won't say it again.
JR: I'll bet I do
JE: OK
[short pause]
JR: Chris.

I saw it as a highlight reel somewhere - maybe on the ESPN awards. The banter was a little more vicious than the transcript reads. Alas, Jim Rome did not get the beating he so severely deserves (I think the cast knew what was coming and got in there pretty quick), but I'm pretty sure he'll not be taunting Jim Everett to his face again.
