Santana Moss on Jim Rome

I love how any mention of Jim Rome automatically brings up the Jim Everett incident, every single time. When was that, 15 years ago or so?

Good interview with Moss. He lost a close friend, that's gonna hurt for a long time. I can't even imagine.

Ok Redwarrior...I'll bite...I have a lot of questions. No different when you hear of a 30 or 40 y/o who has never driven a car.

1. How old are you?
2. Guy/Gal?
3. New to being a football fan? if not what team previously?
4. Who locked you in the basement?
5. Did you thank the person who let you out?

I know I sound like a dick and I'm sorry but I'm genuenly fascinated. Honestly.

Oh and Welcome to the Bandwagon. :)

lol. No offense taken, I'm here to learn and thanks fr asking.

I'm 22.

I'm a guy. And because I feel like there was an undertone in that statement, for the record I'm straight. =)

Yes I am completely new to being a football fan.

Alot of people locked me in the basement, and yes I gave myself a big pat on the back when I kicked open the lock and killed the door man. >=)

My story, if you really want to know, is basically this. I didn't grow up in a football house hold, and my friends were usally just not that into it. At least my close friends weren't. Thats just kind of the hand I was dealt. One day the bug just sort of hit me...Actualley the story is a little more interesting but it invovles politicts so I'll save it.

Anyway, fact is most people learn to love the sport from their parents and I didn't have that oppritunity. I came to it pretty late but look at it this way: I chosse to be here on my own. I was interested enough to put myself on the line, jump right in there with all you guys, and go ahead and embarass myself a few times saying stupid stuff out of ignorance. But I'm having a blast, loving every minute of it, and I love the redskins!

My only regret is that I never got to play as a kid. I'd like to still. I thought about trying out for an open flag league next year in my area if I learn the mechanics quick enough. I'm skinny, but I'm in good shape. I've been a martial artist all my life and already train vigorously. I'd love to know how it feels to complete a play.

I think this sport has so much to offer, and I'm glad times have changed and there seems to be alot more out reach to groups f people who normally would never have been able to get into the sport. Everyone here on the forum has been great, showing me the ropes and being patient with me. Good times sure to be had by all. =)

Yeah, it's crazy that you're just getting into it, but look at it this way, you haven't had to suffer over the years like the rest of us. Hopefully, you won't have to suffer as a Skins fan for a long time. I truly believe that with the coach and players that we have, we should consistently be very competitive for a long time and hopefully win a Super Bowl or 2. Welcome and keep rooting for the Skins!!

My wife is similar to you in that she never ever watched football growing up. She is from NY and a die hard Yankees fan, which drives me crazy. Anyway, I'm an absolute nut about the Skins and it has rubbed off on her. She has a Portis jersey and has to watch every game, even if I go to the bar with friends to watch it, she will sit at home with our dog and watch it and call or text about the game. All of her friends from NY are always like "WTF"! when they see that she is a Skins fan. Watching them is addictive!
HAIL!!

It does not matter how you became a Redskins fan, or even where you are located and a Redskins fan. I have been die hard for years, but I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I bleed burgandy and gold, but have taken my fair share of ribbing up here since DC is so far away. Keep asking questions, keep Hailing the Redskins, and good luck with your flag football, it is a great sport and you will have a blast. Being that you are from the area, if you really want to catch the bug, I recommend getting tickets to the game. Seeing it live will make you fall in love with the team even more. I have been to FedEx twice now and it was amazing.

Hail.

Good interview today.

Jim Rome does a great interview.
huh? in my opinion, Rome is a first class a**. and welcome warrior

He may be an a-hole but he still does a good interview.

Jim Rome gives the best interviews. He's far and away my favorite interviewer

Thanks. Yeah I can't wait to go to a game. That said, I have to. lol. Broke college student. I might not make it this season, but I'm making it my mission to go see a game next season. By then I'll really know my stuff and will likely be able to enjoy it alot more anyway. One f the supervisors where I work goes to see every skins at dallas game, so next year I might try to get a lift with his party. I'd rather go with a group. Though likely when I know I have tickets, I'll post here to see if anyone wants to carpool early and tailgate. Some of these cats out around farmville perhpas. I'm also west of Richmond so it wouldn't be a stretch.

Yeah I am slowly beginning to enjoy Rome's interview. he can still be an ass when he "burns" people calling into his radio show. It is pretty f'ed up.

Beside that I think he sounds pretty funny too, see Calideno's impression.

One thing I hate is the clones, calling up with their stupid takes they are totally reading off a piece of paper, trying to talk like him. That gets annoying.
