Who knows? And it was so long ago.

My earlier point was simply that Rome, as is typical of sports "reporters," does not challenge his athlete and coaching guests when he interviews them. Its more of a marketing opportunity for the guests than it is an actual exploration of news or investigation of controversy.

The problem seems to be that any reporter who does ask the tough questions just doesn't get any more interviews. I really think that if some young knowledgeable guy came along and interviewed people on air and did ask tough questions and built his reputation on challenging them, then in time he would rise to the top and be real popular among fans who want more than the usual drivel, coach speak, wait till next year, everything is great, respect the other team, kind of nonsense.

Is it just me, or does it almost seem like a rehearsed dialogue where the questions are known before the show starts?

I'm not sure he is the #1 in sportscasters alone-Corso, Fowler, Herbstreit and others certainly are in the running.

I actually dont mind Herbie or Fowler but Corso is a different story, Although I think he acts like that on purpose....it is his "thing"

Your statement is true, but I never said anyone "should" do anything, my statement carried the qualifier, "if it were possible". In that regard hiring Bobby Knight is physically possible, the proper term is really "highly improbable". And I stand by my assessment of your dodgeball potential.

Yeah, Hat's tough to hit with a mere dodgeball. He has exceptional evasive maneuvering capabilities.

It was available on the Internet. I put the link earlier in the thread. Or go to espn.com and navigate to the ESPN Videos home page. Then, click on College Hoops, and it may still be there.

Speaking of him... well his co-analyst - what's up with the black guy (that replaced Woody Paige on ESPN first take or whatever) trying to play the race card in almost every segment.

First Tiger Woods then Brett Favre. :crazy:
