Yeah, the "positivity" crap is such garbage. It's his excuse for bland, milk toast corporate sports radio. Beneath it all, he is a bully who scours the interwebs looking for negative posts about his show and then rubs how much money he makes for how little work he does in people's faces. Say what you will about Rome, Rome has NEVER done that. He also has a bizarre grudge/vendetta against Rome for some reason. Anyone remember when he was going to sabotage the Smackoff by calling as Mark from Boston?
We all expected this show to be like it was when JJ used to sit in for Rome, anything goes, doing Tracy Morgan followed by Walken followed by Berman followed by reading commercials as Keitel, etc. For the first 6 months to a year it kind of was like that. Then probably the suits got involved, which, whatever, the dude has a family to feed, but it's still disappointing. The way he urged fans to not get angry about switching timeslots was chickenshit. Rome or Stern in their primes would have had their fans burn Premiere's offices down, instead we got "oh, please don't call Rapid Fire and say Rich Eisen sucks". Plus it's obvious that he doesn't like sports that much, or even watch them much. He talks about the Dodgers more than any other team (despite the slight flaw of not being on in LA anymore) yet can't pronounce Yasiel Puig's name right. Last time I bothered listening was the day after the Lions-Seahawks MNF game. 5 minutes into the show JJ had nothing to say about that game, so he played AN ENTIRE INTERVIEW from the 2013 NFC championship game with Erin Andrews and Richard Sherman. So he could do his unfunny Erin Andrews impression.
Anyway, yeah, this show is dead. Maybe if he moves to CBS as is rumored that'll be a chance to restart, IMO Rome's show has improved a bit since he went there. I understand not wanting to pay for Rome's podcast, if you want a better show for free check out Dan LeBatard.
