Just okay, not great.

Well, the thing to keep in mind is that Rome will pause for up to ten seconds as he listens to other people in his headphones (it really does kill the show that those people aren't allowed to be heard over the air) and that he repeats himself constantly.

However, after listening to Colin Cowherd a few years ago, the repetition that Rome engages in comes off like a billion-sided die in comparison. Cowherd is the only guy I've ever heard that can make the same point verbatim through an entire segment.

(I guess things got tangential here.)

I do not like Jim's TV show for two reasons:

1. It's basically the worst parts of the radio show (suck-up interviews).

2. The way he always looks to the side while he's talking. I wonder if he does that on the radio show, looking sideways at the microphone.

Keep in mind I've never actually watched Jim's show, I'm just judging this off clips and descriptions.

These are the five reasons I do not like Jim's TV show.
