Zach is burning
Baseball season is starting, the NBA playoffs are fast approaching, and the NFL draft is around the corner. All this, and Jim Rome begins his half hour show by railing against Dick Cheney for not getting the first pitch to the Nationals' catcher in the air at their opener.
Wow, way to go out there Jim. Attacking a 65-year old man who has had numerous heart attacks for not throwing a pitch far enough. Such guts.
I know everyone rips on Cheney these days, and I'm not a huge fan of the guy myself. But I know he has dedicated his life to public service, and paid a heavy price. That's more than Jim Rome, David Letterman or anyone else who makes a joke can claim. And I don't mind when Dave or Conan does it, because that's their job.
But Jim Rome can't even run spell check on his web site posts. Jim, have a take, and don't suck, remember? Railing against a senior citizen and then figuring out a way to tie in the shooting accident is not clever. It's just sad, and makes you look like a pack-running hack.
How's that for a take?
