Does anyone like his show? I was a clone, so I didn't expect him to fill Rome's shoes, but I think his show is one of the worst sports talk shows on the radio.

He is a funny guy, but a sports show host should really know something about sports.

That's the thing, I think he does know about sports but he NEVER fucking talks about them.

Really? Is there a back story about this? I never heard about that.

Yeah, I've shaken my head at some of his "takes"

Come to think, seems to me I recall him admitting his basketball strategy/rule knowledge is rather limited.

I was a clone too, and Jay Mohr is the worst thing I've ever heard on the radio. His delivery and persistent "lemme scream every word into the mic" wankery is just brutal. J.T. the Brick at least got better with time and developed a good late night rapport with Looney for a few years. The Cablinasian wasn't great as a host either, but the worst clone by far is Jay Mohr

Exactly...I drive a lot for my job an I'd rather listen to local Austin guys over Mohr. He was fine as a fill in host for Rome because it was a change of pace, but all the time is awful.

I wish CBS radio was on around here.

I used to dread when Jay Mohr or the Sklar Bros were fill-in hosts.

His TV show Mohr Sports failed on Fox Sports about a decade ago. Zero idea why they thought it'd work on radio.

I also don't like when radio show hosts disregard sports (hockey) and then admit they don't know much about some sports....you're a fucking sports radio show host, my dream job, fucking learn about the sports.

Who was your fav. clone, btw? Iafrate, Terrence in Sierra Madre, Silk Brah, Otis in Austin were all great, but Brad in Corona (a late bloomer to the show) is my GOAT, tbh.

I started listening to Rome in 97 and silk was such a regular back then that I always sorta liked him.


I hated that Sonnen won the last smack off.

Also, the addition of the hack off for the past few years was my favorite "bit" of all time...I honestly had to pull over once last year because I was laughing so hard.

I went to a tour stop in Austin and one in Denver...if you neve went to those, you missed out.

When one of the clones finished his call with "War bums fighting ducks for bread" I nearly caused a serious traffic accident

The tour stop at Dell diamond was fucking crazy...it was rowdy crowd and everyone was just fucked up...I was 23ish at the time too so it was right up my alley at the time.

I haven't checked, is Rome even on the radio any more?

Oh, Gee!!

I prefer Rome, but mohr isn't bad. he has enough guests to make up for his lack of sports knowledge.

Agreed...that's what save him...other than that though, he's garbage.

I hate Jim Rome. If he's off the air, I don't give a shit who replaces him.

Rome always scoffed soccer and nascar though, hilariously I might add. He got years of material out of the Mexican soccer fans at the LA Coliseum throwing bags of urine at the US team. :lol

He's changed his tune on both. Even though I'm a huge soccer fan, I always laughed at his assault on Soccer. Very strange to hear him talk about it now

What is really weird about the show now is that J-Stew is gone. His final show was hilarious, with him reprising his legendary karaoke performance of "Better Man" while Rome did his sports takes

I know he softened on NASCAR, but it hurts to hear he's done the same with soccer. I remember when he had his 8 y/o (I think 8) son Jake on the show and he chastised him for playing soccer and embarrassing the family:lol

Wow, nigga sold out. Used to be he'd call every driver Ernie and talk about how all the rednecks hated Jeff Gordon for being a SoCal and beating the shit out of all the Ernies. No more left turn smack? :cry

sports talkshows are garbage in general. they often sound like a bunch of kids discussing the Dragon ball cartoon show that they watched last night, and predicting how the story is going on in today's new episode. I'd rather listen to political shows or shows concerning relationship/family/trivia, at least you can get some honest advice and truth bombs from those shows

Involves a story about tracy morgan and a comedian known as the machine.

I gave Jay about 3 weeks. I listen to a lot of sports radio and he is just bad. Like uncle Wally bad.
