Chrisy Evert. Jim Evert told him not to call him that again and of course Jim Rome said he
would continue to call him Chrisy. Finally the guy flipped the table over on Rome and jumped on top of him. I am sure this was not fake. I think you can pull this up on u tube.If
it was fake they did a good job of it.

Jim Everett played for the St Louis Rams, and may have played for other teams but I know he was a Ram for some time. Rome was comparing him to a female tennis star and even called Everett by her name -- Chris Evert. Rome pushed Everett's buttons just a bit too far and I'm pretty sure a lawsuit followed this event. Maybe a broken nose?

This is useless information, but only wanted to post because I remember when it happened. I was a kid and remembered seeing it on ESPN's SportsCenter when it took place. If you ask me, Rome had it coming to him and took a senseless joke a little too far.

Sorry for posting this useless piece of information........
