The more I watch it, the funnier it gets!

A little background on the video:
In the land of gladiator worship, Jim Everett
is a veteran football quarterback in the NFL. He's been at it for awhile, and he now plays for the San Diego Chargers. Jim Rome is a sports commentator with attitude. At some point, when Everett was still playing for the New Orleans Saints (talk about a misnomer), Rome took to consistently referring to him as "Chris" Everett - a wordplay on Chris Evert, the female tennis star, and no doubt intended to impugn the jock's manhood, his playing ability, ***** size, whatever. Everett let it get under his, uh, skin in any case.

One night in 1994 Jim Everett appeared on Jim Rome's ESPN2 talk show. Rome called him Chris, several times. Chris... I mean, Jim... took exception, and in a now-infamous clip (which Rome consistently denies was staged) Everett reacted, live on camera.

Isn't America wonderful, where children can follow the example set on television by today's athletic stars, as society's paragons of heroic virtue, exercising self-control in the face of provocation, and engaging in good conduct and sportsmanship?
Jim Everett is the ex- L.A. Rams and N.O. Saints and S.D. Chargers QB
