The Serious Sports Network has stumbled upon a fascinating discovery about talking head Jim Rome and why he’s so angry all the time.
“Mr. Rome has had some traumatic experience in his childhood involving sports,” Dr. Henrik Stilson, a leading psychological researcher, explained to SSNN. “This causes him to hate sports and those who excel in it. The better they are at sports, the more he hates them.”
Rome has long been known for his intense dislike of athletes, even going so far as to provoke an attack from former Rams quarterback Jim Everett while taping an interview. Today, Rome regularly vents on his television program, Jim Rome is Burning.
Rome’s case is not unique in medical history, though it is the first time it has been medically documented. Doctors have even named the condition after Rome.
“We’re calling the condition assholia,” Dr. Stilson said. “Otherwise known as ‘asshole disease’. Some of the symptoms include unprovoked rage, the mocking of small errors, and stating the obvious in an angry way, usually delivered in a rambling monologue. Extreme cases are also marked by ridiculous attempts to look cool.”
These are starting revelations.
