FYI, Roger Mason on Jim Rome radio show today

[timvp]

Nice going UT.

[lakerhtrkev]

rome will go from ass kisser to backstabber in a couple weeks for sure!!!

[completely deck]

"We know how important every game is"

"It's truly a blessing (to play with San Antonio)."

On going to Europe: "It put the ball back in my hands"

Took a gamble on either accepting $1+million to play in Europe or $45,000 (minimum $700k) to play for Washington. Chose to take the gamble because "it was more about basketball" and not money.

Mason is a monster.

[Spursmania]

Guys got guts. Good for him.

[lakerhtrkev]

mason is exactly what the spurs represent!

[Chomag]

I was pretty excited when we signed him this summer and was hoping to see what all he could give our team.

The more I see this guy play this season the more I love his game,and his character. Even though he seems to be a really great guy he has veins of ice. I still get chills when I think about that shot he made to win against the fakers and doing that mock of Kobe's big ball dance.

IMO he is our best free agent signing thus far in franchise history.

[MarHill]

He definitely is a true Spur and I hope he retires here.

+1

I caught the end of the interview while I was driving and he took a calculated risk to play for the Wizards.

It's nice to see someone take advantage of a good opportunity. I hope it continues to work out for him here in SA.

Hmm. A little bit of double talk here. He stated in an article on MySA that the reason he signed a short deal was so he could be in the 2010 bidding. Hopefully we get a ring in the next 2 years because I feel like someone will overpay him in 2010.

[Blake]

Rome loves him some Bruce Bowen because he played his college ball in California and because he has a great story.
He once interviewed him and sang his praises and of course took the obligatory 5 calls saying how great an interview it was and blah blah blah.

Just a few days later, he's asking Rip Hamilton about Bruce being a dirty player.

Another example:

He talked to Horry about his legacy and his Championships and weeks later he's talking about Horry throwing a cheap shot at Nash.

I already gave you examples of him singing the Spurs praises, interviewing the guys and how great they are and then calling them chokers when they stumble.

I know you'll be listening...it'll show up something like this: He'll interview Mason, talk about his story and his success. How he's fit in so well and it came after a career of really battling and trying to prove himself. He'll talk about how Mason has been able to provide good minutes in the wake of Manu's injury AND played some time at the point. He might even talk about his time with the Wizards and how it was his home town team and that it must have been hard leaving but that he couldn't have gone to a better team. He'll then ask about the Drew Gooden signing and that will be that.


THEN


In a few weeks, when you are feeling all the warm fuzzies about Rome being such a nice guy, the Spurs will stumble...maybe lose a game or two and may be in jeapordy of losing the # 2 seed. Then Rome will make some kind of remark about how the Spurs are fighting an uphill battle with the injury to Manu, soreness in Tim's knees and that they don't have enough to beat the Lakers. , he'll start talking about the Spurs being in for a dogfight against the Jazz or some other crap and that the Jazz are primed to beat the Lakers.

Spur fan hears what he wants to hear.

transcripts please.

Unless you are blind or stupid, it shouldn't be too hard to pull them up.

3rd request.

You are still defending this after he moved Mason back twice to get lubed up by his loyal fans and to talk to Blake Griffin?

Fail.

I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure most people would rather hear an interview with the best player in college basketball over an average nba role player.

Dude, get lost. I'm not hunting down and that doesn't make me stupid, it makes me smart and you lazy.

Request away..I really don't care if you believe me or not. I've already wasted enough time even giving you the examples of him being an asshole.

Maybe one of the other posters in this thread who agree with me will humor you and search the internet for ing transcripts or soundbytes.

Spur fan knows his and has heard enough from Rome to do his interview for him. See my earlier post, I'm pretty on target to what that dude is all about.

I'm not defending anyone.

tmthsjdkfc is saying that Rome throws Spurs under the bus. I'm asking for proof.

Rome was the one that called the Spurs to ask for an interview. They gave him Mason. Rome gave props to Mason for getting moved back.

why are you listening to Rome if you don't like him?

[Blake]

you are definitely lazy.

I'm not sure if you have problems reading, so let me make this as simple as possible:

you saying asshole = opinion
you saying throwing spurs under bus = needs reference

Still waiting for Rome to throw Mason under bus.

Still waiting for source.

If it is so obvious that someone blind and stupid could see it, then it should be really easy for someone smart like you to find it.

4th request, however I'm sure it will ultimately be another fail.

[Blake]

spur fan is not most people.

if the world doesn't kneel down before all Spurs, then the world is an asshole.

You are not a true spur fan.

Jim Rome called Pop a whiner that should shut the up because he critizized the Gasol trade. and no I am not showing you proof. YOu probably a closet laker fan like your idol Jim Rome

[LockBeard]

jungle karma!!

no.

Manu was on rome just days before this last injury.

[Brutalis]

Every time I hear "Jim Rome" I think about that little pussy running from Mr. Everett.

[tmtcsc]

He's a lazy Laker fan and a Jim Rome fan that is completely oblivious to the fact that Jim Rome stabs people and teams in the back. He's a 2 faced prick. One second he's propping up Bruce Bowen as a great defender and the next he's asking Rip Hamilton about Bruce's reputation as a dirty player.

YOU FAIL Blakey

[kdaltcu]

You people take life too seriously, The Jim Rome Show is awesome!

[Trimble87]

You people take life too seriously, The Jim Rome Show is awesome!

You people do take life too seriously... and the Jim Rome Show is garbage. I dont watch it because I think hes an idiot and the show isnt interesting. But I dont hate the guy or people who like him...



on a side note. PTI ftw.

[AA2120]

hook em!!

[Blake]

You are not a true spur fan.

sure I am. I have a Spurs T-shirt and watch the games.

Rome never said that. No you do not have proof. Would not be surprised if you are probably mouse who is still pissed because Rome never let him on the air.
