I'll be back for seconds for sure.
Only if they sweeten the tandoor with a little more Kumail Nanjiani spice. Mmm, naan!
He was great in the season two premiere.

Jim Rome 'leaving' ESPN...

Sounds more like ESPN wanted him to leave. When you get 'demoted' to ESPN2 and your show is placed after Dan LeBatard's disastrously horrible show, you have to know that the network doesn't want you or your painfully phony, street cred mojo anymore. I'd sometimes watch this show and it would make me nauseous listening to him ghetto talk to his guests. He'll wind up doing sports talk radio in some lesser radio market somewhere eventually. I mean, who watches CBS SportsNet anyway?

Unfortunately, it sounds like he'll be popping up in their NFL/March Madness coverage, which will make it more difficult for me to ignore him.

I guarantee that within a couple of years, they'll shit can his ass too.

But that means I have to acknowledge him for a couple years, when for the last couple years I've been able to forget he exists at all.

I'm pretty sure he prefers to be called "Chris."

Until they announced these dates earlier I didn't know this was coming, but I'm so excited! He tweeted that there's more The Thick Of It Coming soon too.
