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........
Everett out played his days hence the name "chris" big bad ball player got his feathers ruffeled and tossed the table. Didn't see any punches thrown even when he had him on the ground. Romes a great show tells it like it is and he'll speak his mind. Evertt showed his a** on national tv if it was me I'd took care of it after the camera was off. Rome and other media labeled him "chris". Sticks and stones may break my bones...
