Former NFL star quarterback Jim Everett called on Jim Rome to 'let bygones be bygones' and do something with him on their infamous altercation.
Jim Everett was a solid quarterback during his time in the NFL, leading the league in touchdown passes in 1988 and 1989 and earning a Pro Bowl selection with the Los Angeles Rams in 1990. But what most fans remember about Everett is his incident with then-ESPN host Jim Rome shortly after he was traded to the New Orleans Saints. Rome mocked Everett by calling him 'Chris' – in reference to the female tennis star – after he insinuated Everett wasn’t about taking hits during games.
In the 1994 interview between Rome and Everett, Rome kept needling Everett. The quarterback implied that some physical confrontation would happen if Rome kept doing it. When the broadcaster did it again, Everett pushed Rome to the ground and overturned a table in between them. There were no injuries and no legal action over the incident. It remains a classic TV moment. Everett appeared on 'The Ricky Cobb Show' on Thursday and spoke to the OutKick host about the incident.
Well, there really hasn’t been back-and-forth. Did he apologize? No, he didn’t. And then, finally, I would say about 10 years ago, he finally said, ‘Hey, that was a mistake, and this and that.’ So, I get it,' Everett said. 'And I get where he was coming from because our team wasn’t winning at the time, and you blame the quarterback, and you blame me, and I could have played better at times, too. 'I get the whole thing of it. It was just amped up so much.
