NFL QB-turned-adviser recalls infamous ESPN beat-down

NFL QB-turned-adviser recalls infamous ESPN beat-down
JAN 31, 2012
With the resignation of ESPN's Jim Rome last week, sports blog Deadspin got in touch with former NFL quarterback Jim Everett — now a registered investment adviser in San Clemente, Calif. — about the kerfuffle the pair got into in 1994. A famous clip in which Mr. Rome insists on calling Everett “Chris,” a dig referring to female tennis star Chris Evert to imply less-than-manly play, shows a quickly escalating situation. Mr. Everett, head of the Jim Everett Company LLC, has moved on, according to Deadspin. He even was prepared to allow “a large burger franchise” to use the clip in a commercial a few years ago, but Mr. Rome declined, he said.
