Default Jim Rome Karma

Do you take the "jungle karma" into consideration when choosing your bets??

THIS IS A SERIOUS QUESTION!!!!

I can't stand the guy at all, have no idea what you're saying. Speak in English, not Romisms.

The guy is just annoying. I wish Jim "Chrisse" Everett would have pounded his ass when he had the chance.

What part of "serious answers" don't you people understand?? No wonder why you guys are under 40% for the year so far.

Jungle Karma - Rome maintains that an athlete's appearance on the show or failure to appear for whatever reason will create (respectively) good or bad "Jungle Karma," improving or diminishing the athlete's performance in an upcoming game. He points to the outcome of games after appearances on his show as "evidence." However unscientific it may be, anecdotal evidence seems to suggest the trend may be true. Rome has stated that "the Karma does not discriminate," referring to its effects being dissociated from whether Rome likes or dislikes an athlete. Additionally if an athlete is unable to fulfill his commitment to the show because of circumstances beyond his/her control, no bad Jungle Karma is unleashed upon his/her team

Still: No. Besides, I think the Madden and SI curses have more significance and scientific proof behind them.

He is sometimes amusing (like a court jester), but you can't take the little jock sniffer seriously. He is the poster child for the little midget assistant trainer who always wanted to sit with the jocks at lunch. Then got depantsed after practice and kicked out of the dressing room in front of the cheerleaders.

Of course, Howard C. made a career and "never played the game"!

And yes, Everett should have bitch slapped him instead of just making him pee himself!
