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.
