Wry guy

I know Jim Rome isn't for everyone, and it's hard to explain why I like him so much to anyone who hasn't regularly listened to his radio show, but I found this take on golfer John Daly especially funny (Daly's "friends" left him at a Hooters in a drunken stupor):

[[I don’t know what's worse, J.D. “hitting it” that hard, again. Or, his “crew” just abandoning him? What happened to the “boozer’s credo”: ‘no one gets left behind enemy lines. Everyone in, everyone out. Never leave your wingman. Ever! Either that, or this guy is ‘hashing our buzz’; he’s ‘killing us’. Everyone out the back door! Yeah. but what about J.D.? Who cares, he won’t even know we’re gone.”]]

I agree it is hard to describe Rome to non-listeners. I think reading that take is a lot funnier if you can imagine his voice and how he would phrase it all.

I heard that today, too! Too funny or...sad, really. Poor JD needs to head to AA.

Agreed on both fronts. I think it was the "everyone in, everyone out" line that made me laugh out loud. Like going out for a few drinks is similar to heading into a war zone.
