This article seems to be more about The Jim Rome Show than Jim himself.
It really needs to be split into two articles, one which is more of a biography of Jim, and another, perhaps titled The Jim Rome Show, to focus on the show itself.
If there are no objections, I will give this one week (until July 10, 2005) and do it myself.
Zpb52 July 3, 2005 18:21 (UTC)
With zero objections posted in the last week, I have moved the content about Jim's radio show to its own article, The Jim Rome Show. A successful article split. Zpb52 16:22, July 10, 2005 (UTC)
Has anyone considered creating an article on JRIB? It may not have the notoriety of the Jungle but is still a staple show on ESPN and should get some attention here at Wikipedia. I'd do it but I don't get to watch it because of my work schedule. Willbyr 19:27, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Doesn't Rome have two sons? Jake is the older one, and Logan was born sometime in 2005 wasn't he? --Saxonjf 03:31, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Jim mentioned today on his show (06/19/2018) that he was born in Los Angeles and not Tarzana. Audio source: https://www.stucknut.com/takebox/?id=2346 — Preceding unsigned comment added by JungleClone ( talk • contribs) 19:23, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
According to IMDb, Jim Rome was born in Tarzana, California. As there is no reference to at all, I intend to add that.-- The Saxon 00:10, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
The section on Rome's broadcast style could use a serious POV trim, and I wonder if it's appropriate for this article or if it needs to be moved to the Jim Rome Show article. Willbyr ( talk | contribs) 13:47, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
Jim Rome uses degrotary neologisms to refer to some cities, His referring to Omaha as "Bugaha" is not. Rome calls Omaha Bugaha because the name for the University of NEbraska football team was the "Bugeaters." Rome combined Bugeater with Omaha to come up with Bugaha. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stan sipple ( talk • contribs) 04:35, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I came here to see what the rationale for the POV tag was. Since there doesn't appear to be one perhaps the tag should be removed? Jorbettis 16:02, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Not sure if a link to this should be included in the article but the video of the Everett interview is on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HNgqQVHI_8 should someone want to put it into the article. Argash | talk | contribs 06:31, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
In regards to whether or not to include Rome being a Jew in the lead section - I see where you're going with the policy, but it makes an exception if the person's ethnicity is notable. Since Rome's been inducted into the Jewish Sports Hall of Fame, I'd say this qualifies as notability. Also, Willie in KC is now an infamous figure on the show because Rome perma-banned him for an anti-Semitic joke. It's not a life-or-death issue for me one way or the other, but I think this bears mentioning. Willbyr ( talk | contribs) 17:19, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Could someone update the page for his Jewish HOB biography, it's a broken link, here is the new link, I don't know how to fix it. http://www.scjewishsportshof.com/rome.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.142.98.38 ( talk) 21:16, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
Some are saying that Rome was really born 10 years earlier than is listed. It appears to me that someone associated with Rome has been messing up this article to make Rome look 10 years younger by changing the dates on everything from birthday to high school 71.206.238.90 ( talk) 03:28, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
"The most famous emailers like Dave in St. Louis "Non-Hunter," Chad in Portland, Francis in Glendale, Herb in Atascadero, Mike in Edmonton, Brian in Syracuse, Blaise in KC, Dave no longer in Albany, Clay in Buffalo, Tim Bauer in Lincoln, Mike T in C-Town and Scott near Beaverton have their emails read repeatedly, even by guest host substitutes such as Jim Lampley and Andrew Siciliano. They have said "The hottest topic in The Jungle is The Jungle."
This part needs to be updated. Herb in Atascader, Mike T in C-Town, and Francis in Glendale no longer have email frequently read. Francis, referred to as "THE Francis in Glendale" was subsequently blocked after multiple fat jokes.
Additionally, a new wave of emailers have emerged who have their emails read frequently by Jim Rome. These emailers include Craig in Tampa, Brian in Santa Monica, Mike in Chicago "Non 7-Wood User," and Eric in Falls Church (Rome refers to him as "Entitlement Eric")
Jim Rome plays the song "Loser" by Beck in the background every time he reads an email from Eric in Falls Church

There's alot of images of Rome, why isn't one on here on wikipedia? Josh Nickles ( talk) 00:59, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
Someone should update the Horse Racing section of Jim Rome's wikipedia article. It should mention that Mizdirection, who twice won the Breeders Cup Turf Sprint, was nominated for an Eclipse Award, and was sold at auction for $2.7 million.
Also, someone really needs to mention that Jim Rome is again on the Kentucky Derby trail with 3 year old colt, Shared Belief, who won the Eclipse Award for Champion 2 Year Old Male, and who has his own wikipedia page, here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_Belief.
Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.10.38.67 ( talk) 22:01, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
Someone should add, under the "Controversies" section, the spat between Jim Rome and Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh. After Rome called him on the carpet on his show for being rude to the media, Harbaugh Tweeted at Rome to remind him of what Jim Everett did to him on Talk2. -- 108.234.242.106 ( talk) 02:43, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
This line seems to be a little POV:
"Rome continued his taunt, causing Everett to overturn the table between them and shove Rome to the floor while still on the air."
It reads as if Rome somehow forced Everett to flip the table. The "cause" here was Everett's temper. A more NPOV wording would be:
"After Rome continued addressing him as "Chris", Everett overturned the table between them and shoved Rome to the floor while still on the air." 97.91.249.83 ( talk) 10:44, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

On today's (12) show in the third hour, he said he graduated from UCSB in 1986. One would think that he would get the year right, but it conflicts with the two sources in the article (likely only one since the other probably quotes the first) which say 1987.
