That was a classic. If more talk shows went like that one I would watch them.

I've hated Jim rome ever since that show....and gained respect for Jim Everett.

I remember that interview, looked so awkward and forced when Everett did that

Rome achieved notoriety for an incident on his ESPN2 show in 1994 when he repeatedly called NFL quarterback Jim Everett "Chris" (after Chris Evert, the female tennis player), from the argument that Everett shied away from getting hit. Appearing as a guest on the show, Everett warned Rome about repeating the insult and then challenged Rome to do so. When Rome did, Everett physically attacked Rome while still on the air, overturning a table and knocking Rome to the floor. Years later, many believe the incident was actually staged, which Rome denies

"It was absolutely real," Rome attests. "Do you think in a million years that I would have consented to something like that? It absolutely was not for ratings. It was not set up. Everett and I had a relationship that was not a very good one."
Rome says he had told Everett before taping the show that he was going to call him Chrissie and that the former quarterback agreed to the interview anyway.

Of course he's not going to say it's staged That helped launch his career, notice the graphic that says he "doesn't like to be called Chris," ESPN knew what was going on.
