Re: Stern: "Do you still beat your wife?"
Stern is a jackass. He could've answered that question without sounding like a total douche bag, but apparently the Commissioner is losing his sense of reality. :facepalm
To top it all off, Jim Rome continues to be respectful, even when Stern talks about going on Stephen A. Smith's show.
Much respect for Jimmy here.

Thanks for confirming why I wont listen to Rome. The Jim Everett incident says all you need to know about Jim Rome.[/QUOTE]
This. Rome panders to an audience of a-holes.
Re: David Stern to Jim Rome: "Do you still beat your wife?"
Jim completely understood what stern meant by saying "do you still beat your wife". He was however offended when stern questioned his career by saying something along the lines of "you've made a career out of this"
Then gym was pissed because stern was basically saying the only reason you're successful is because you bait people in hopes to get a reaction. since Jim's career really kicked off after that Everett interview. So basicallyhe was stating that youre successful Cus of stuff like that which Jim obviously took offense too.
That's my two cents after hearing that.

Re: Stern: "Do you still beat your wife?"
I wish Rome would've knocked his arrogant ass out. No reason to cross that line, Rome had every right to ask that question. The fact that Stern got so offended shows that he is insecure about something. The lottery isn't rigged (I do believe it probably has been at some point, but no longer is). Is that what he is insecure about, or is there something else he's hiding?

That was a ridiculously long time ago. Rome has balls, but he's respectful now. He's good journalism and entertainment.

Yup.

Stern may have crossed a line but Rome does first. He does NOT have every right to ask that question. It's a stupid question and he was looking for a rise. You can ask tough questions, not denying that. Is the lottery rigged? That's like me walking up to you and saying hey can I f*ck your GF? :confusedshrug:
Any person with a brain cell knows the response is going to be no it's not. There's no reason to even bring it up and to do so is only adding to speculation that hurts the NBA's\Sterns image.
It's quite obvious what Rome was trying to do.
Re: David Stern to Jim Rome: "Do you still beat your wife?"
What gets me is....why is Stern, SO pissy about it? He's super defiant and defensive. Why get that worked up if you just think its ridiculous?
No reason to get MAD.
Re: David Stern to Jim Rome: "Do you still beat your wife?"
[QUOTE=OKCThunderUP]David Stern was on Jim Rome's show today. Rome asked Stern "Was the NBA lottery rigged?" to which Stern replied, "Do you still beat your wife?"
Asshole move for sure, but why is Rome asking such a stupid question? He kind of deserved that reply by Stern.

Jim Rome beats his wife? God, I didn't think there would be a way to hate him more, but wow! There is.

His response was pretty stupid but I can understand getting upset. Question like that just fuel the fire. It fuels theories that hurt the NBA and Sterns image. Stern was good enough to go on the air, there's no need for something as stupid as that to be talked about.
Regardless of what Stern responded with people were going to end up discussing it. It'd continue to fuel the fire which has already heated up quite abit this year.

No, he doesn't have a right to ask that question. It's a gotcha question, and he's asking it only to put Stern on the spot and get a rise out of him.
Which, as it turns out, it exactly what it did. And now people are actually talking about Rome for the first time in years and will probably actually tune in to his show this week.
He's a garbage journalist, absolute bottom of the barrel. A sports shock jock.
Re: David Stern to Jim Rome: "Do you still beat your wife?"
It was clear Stern wasn't in a great mood to start the conversation. Great timing for Rome to ask a question like that.
