David Stern asks Jim Rome: “Have you stopped beating your wife yet?”
For those who don’t know, this is a well-established expression meant to signal that you’re being asked a loaded question (where the premise makes a huge assumption).
The full interview is a fascinating snapshot of late-stage Stern, who was an absolute one-of-one with how candidly he engaged the press.
This is right. “Have you stopped beating your wife” is an example used in every law school for a question that would be objectionable in court because it assumes facts that haven’t been proven.
Given Stern was a lawyer, this is definitely where he got it. It’s one of many law school “inside jokes” that lawyers reference to each other (along with the hairy hand, the fertile octogenarian, Blackacre, etc.).
Could you explain the others for non lawyers?
Since no one has answered the question you asked:
Hairy hand is a reference to a real case where a doctor promised a patient a perfect hand reconstruction but it actually resulted in the patient having a hairy hand (early skin graft technology). Personally I don’t remember it being a joke in law school/after, but that could be generational/based on the type of law practiced.
Blackacre is a fictional name used for seemingly every law school example or test. As such, It’s the site of many murders, conspiracies, personal injuries, property disputes, wills and trusts. There are a lot of runaway trains in blackacre. Generally a dangerous place to go - I’d warn against it.
The fertile octogenarian is based on the “rule of perpetuities”, which governs how far in the future you can control property. (Eg I can pass something on to my child, and then to my unborn grandchildren, but not down the line to my unborn great great great grandchildren). However, legally it is based on who is alive at the time of my death. So even if I have an 80 year old daughter as my only living relative, I can still properly will something to my unborn grandchildren on the basis that my daughter could have a kid (which is very very unlikely).
I thought the rule against perpetuities was the lifetime of currently alive people + 21 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_against_perpetuities
That’s right. And in this scenario my 80 year old daughter is alive, so since she is very fertile and thus could still have a child I could leave something to my unborn grandchild.
It seems like the people answering to you have severe reading problems
IANAL so I believe you.
Good for you man but keep that to yourself
Have you stopped taking it up the ass yet?
One-Net3018: “Yeah, I don’t know if that’s fair.”
Not a man, but even if. Happy pride I guess?
I’m more of a therapist/analyst combo - an analrapist if you will
Arrested development is leaking lol
OH MY GOD IT’S A FIRE (sale)
IAAL – it is used as (the?) classic example of objectionable “Assumes facts not in evidence.”
There just has to be a better acronym…
Did you tell your mom you’re gay yet?
TIL people largely misuse “loaded question”
How so?
Because many people think a loaded question is simply a complex one.
It’s a sort of trick question that corners the person into admitting the assumption regardless of their answer.
I’m aware of the difference, and I’d say Rome’s question is much closer to a leading question than a loaded one.
But you missed the point of my comment, which was to explain to people that Stern did not literally mean to accuse Rome of domestic abuse. I have seen people online come up with that misconception since the interview first aired in 2012.
Easily the most misunderstood clip.
yeah Rome wasn’t actually beating his wife lmao, it’s rhetorical flourish to point out the absurdity of the assumptive premise of the question he asked Stern
But ironically, Rome’s question - “was the fix in for the lottery?” - was not a loaded question. A loaded version of the question would’ve been “are you still fixing the lottery?”
EXACTLY.
“did you fix the lottery?” is not begging the question, even if it is rude. just say “no.”
stern actually comes off weirdly defensive - if anything, he looks like he has something to hide.
Not really. Asking the question flat out calls out the integrity of the lottery. In sterns eyes it is not possible to fix it.
no, I think if we inverted the questions Stern would have been less defensive. Rome, a shock jock, opened by espousing/referencing a conspiracy theory before the lottery question. That alone made Stern defensive & tints the rest of their interaction
This is a ridiculous read on Sterns reaction. Jim Rome was a complete POS and made a career on exactly this types of things. Go back and watch Jim Everett tape. Rome was an agitator of the worst kind, would insult people to their face and “expect” to be treated with respect in return. Stern was dead on saying Rome made a career off of cheap tricks.
Less loaded but definitely still a loaded question, in order to even be asking it you’re implying a massive conspiracy and impropriety in a league.
I think stern took offense to the implicit lottery rigging allegations more so than the constructive question about the lottery that followed
Do people truly think that’s what he meant? lol.
Let’s not pretend Jim Rome wasn’t a huge asshole. This was a great clip.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not but Stern is not actually suggesting Rome beats his wife which people always say when this video comes up.
Oh, I took it you were saying people cheer it when it’s mean to Rome. Yeah, I totally get what stern was doing. The Chris Everett clip of Jim Rome is my favorite.
David Stern was extremely hated during his time, it’s crazy how NBA fans on reddit look back on him fondly now.
We celebrated Silver taking over.
Look how they massacred my boy.
Silver not fucking up the easiest decision that’s ever come across his desk gave him so much good will with people it’s insane.
“Oh I gotta condemn racism? That’s it???”
I mean he was always going to strongly condemn the comments, that was a no-brainer. The actual story is that he banned an owner for life and made him sell the team, those are the guys he works for so there was a lot of uncertainty if it was even possible.
He didn’t do shit. The other owners did it, they’re literally his bosses, they dictate what he does.
This is a point people ignore in every sport for some reason. The commissioner is just a mouth piece for the owners. Anything he says or does is because the owners support it.
Same story with the NCAA
not easy for good amount of people to be fair
I truly don’t believe an owner would be required to sell his team if that happened today. The current admin is way too friendly to those people.
They didn’t force Sterling though, they found a loophole using his then-wife.
The audio evidence of the racism was a convo with his mistress. So Silver used a scorned-wife to assert control of the team by labeling Sterling as unfit to govern, and *she* sold the team out from under him.
I imagine every billionaire out there today has closed that loophole so a spouse can’t sell the team out from under them, but Silver was able to exploit it in that instance.
They kinda did with Sarver which wasn’t long ago.
David Stern didn’t lol
And yet Stern would have defended it.
To be fair that wasn’t a bar Stern would’ve cleared
I may take downvotes for this but Silver I think did a lot of good things really up until around the last two years.
He ousted Sterling, which was a layup. But he also adamantly stood up for Daryl Morey and refused to back down to China, nealry getting the NBA completely canned there. That was a huge amount of money he put on the line to back up morals. He pulled off the bubble which was a ton of fun in the moment and a logistical masterclass. He didn’t cave in to conservative chuds online when players protested racial injustice in this country like the NFL did. He introduced the play-in and the cup, which I think are both excellent editions. He has thrown so much shit to try and make the all star game work which has basically all failed but he is trying. He brought in the 65 game rule which has actually seriously increased the amount of games some guys play. There is a lot of good there.
He has let the on court product flounder, has alienated a lot of fans with a complex new TV deal, and has been insanely cozy with gambling to I think a greater extent than other sports and and all of those are pretty bad. But he did honestly build up good will through a lot of things.
Part of the good will was that everyone knew Stern absolutely would not have done it.
This is the funny thing about it. Silver has actually done a great job compared to Stern. And yet on based on some redditers you’d think Silver bankrupted the NBA.
This is how things always are.
Give it 5 years after his retirement and Adam Silver will magically be the most popular ex-commissioner in NBA history.
Magically? Or just driven by nostalgia
Worked for George Bush, on a longer time horizon tho
It’s the same way you’ll see people on r/soccer longing for the days of Sepp Blatter at the head of FIFA because of what a shithead Infantino is. Or even the way people now look back at Bush fondly just because of how bad Trump is. Or the way Bush once made people long for Nixon.
This recurring phenomenon has taught me that this why things never really get any better, even when they easily could. The average person seemingly can’t remember anything important that happened more than a few years ago, and even if they can, their own biases just push them to believe that whatever went on back then can’t possibly have been that bad, mainly because they survived it.
No real thought is ever given as to why things seem worse to them now, nor how these people they now seek to redeem were, in fact, a direct cause of everything bad that came after.
People long for Sepp Blatter? Ugh. I remember how much he (rightly) got shit on for awarding World Cups to Russia and Qatar.
Blatter and Infantino are both corrupt pieces of shit.
As much as we complain about silver, stern, whoever, no commissioner of any American sports league could match the vile putrid corruption of the president of FIFA.
Yep, it is happening at the soccer sub. However I don’t blame them, Infantino is making Sepp Blatter look like an innocent child in comparison, dude is a fiend at corruption and tone deaf stuff
I’m tired boss
GWB thing — totally true. Hated him. Would now be overjoyed to replace current slate with him.
Theyre not old enough to remember, they were probably barely if conscious at all when Stern was in charge
Fans hated him back when he was probably the only commissioner they’d known, but now he seems better in retrospect if you think things are worse now. Everything is relative.
He was a dickhead who needed full control of everything, but now we’re able to see what the league looks like when gambling apps and scumbag owners hold all the power.
Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. People look back on certain situations with rose tinted glasses no matter how good or bad the past actually was.
I sure as shit don’t. My flair should tell you why.
He took the NBA from obscurity to 3rd or fourth most popular sport in the world behind Soccer, Cricket, and tied with field Hockey. Not sure who the fuck watches field hockey, but it’s there.
India mainly, I think they’re pretty great at it and have tons of people obviously
Cuz most redditors here weren’t even old enough to remember his tenure
Same with George W Bush, it’s wild.
was coming here to say the exact same thing. I wonder if there’s an icon to describe this specific rose-tinted glasses demon reputation raising phenomenon.
lmao
I don’t champion rich assholes but I can grasp nuance. The amount of responsibility laid at Stern’s feet for Sterling on reddit is the more concerning part to me. No, that was more on the country club of owners.
Most NBA fans on reddit were about 5 years old when Silver took over so they view Stern through rose colored glasses from a simpler time.
Remember when he announced Anthony Bennett draft and he asked the crowd to boo him louder?
It was really primarily due to the 2011 lockout near the end of his commissioner tenure. I don’t remember him being loathed as much throughout his tenure.
Jim Rome is also an asshole though.
Just because people hated him back then doesn’t mean those same people can’t think he’s still better than his replacement.
It’s more an indication of how people feel about Silver. But you’re right.
It’s easy when Silver has been an unmitigated disaster.
Stern sucks. His decision to suspend Amare and Diaw in Game 5 is one of the worst decisions in NBA history.
it’s crazy how NBA fans on reddit look back on him fondly now.
it manly because his replacement Nosferatu is somehow making goodell and Manfred seem like good commissioners in comparison to him.
which holy fucking fuck how is that even fucking possible when one called his fucking world championship just a piece of metal and the other one is roger fucking goodell.
All the kids here know is that he was rude to the media and “kept the players in line.”
They don’t actually know what that means or why he was like that.
Sonics fans will beg to differ. He was a smarmy cunt
Legendary moment lol
I was listening live when this interview happened, was radio cinema
Adam Silver could never
I was listening that day. Rome came on after and defended David Stern because it’s a rhetorical device. My wife uses these on me all the time, and I learned how to handle them, thanks to this interview!
Me too. I was tripping when he didn’t respond back like I expected. “That’s not fair.” I was like why isn’t he saying “ what the fuck are you even talking about?” Made me think Rome actually did beat his wife and it was well known.
Exactly, he’s basically stating a claim he has no evidence of and simply asking the question because he has a right to. Stern was just proving a a point lol
fuckin gangster
plot twist: Don Stern brings in Chris Evert as his muscle
I hated David stern but he handled that so well. Jim Rome was asking him loaded questions and you might as well give him a taste of his own medicine
Jim Rome had no real chance of rattling a former biglaw litigation partner.
Jim Rome was objectively not asking a loaded question. He might have been asking a question Stern didn’t like with an obvious answer, but it wasn’t loaded.
People seem to forget that Stern wasn’t alone in allowing sterling. The other owners have to vote to kick out an owner and absolutely don’t like the idea it could be used against them. This was something Cuban was concerned about at the vote to kick sterling. Sterling was kept until the outcry was too big.
People seem to have forgotten that we as a society were perfectly fine with racism until recently. The league only managed to kick out Sterling when the world around us changed and having a racist owner became a financial liability.
Nah he got caught that’s all. Same with Saver.
The fact that nothing happened to the Epstein cult shows that we’re on board with child fucking as well.
Man was a mob boss in another life
Good for David Stern. Jim Rome does this shit with everyone, and the second he has to hear or see consequences (like Jim Everett standing over him ready to fuck him up) he cries about it for years.
Rome has actually defended both Stern’s use of this rhetorical device and said he went over the line with Everett.
I am so sorry I made millions of dollars and an entire career off of being a shock jock. I really regret it, but I’m not giving back the money or going to stop doing it.
Props to JE. Rome deserved it.
David Stern could not be punked, he wasn’t ducking anything.
He was punked many times including Donald Sterling punking him for 40 years straight while he sat there and did nothing
NBA was getting roasted for decades for having a team in LA with a racist owner with the worst win % in all american sports
Sterling was literally one of his bosses. A commissioner isn’t the owner of the league. He’s their employee.
There was literally a vote to remove Sterling in the 80s after he tried to relocate the team to LA, he was banned and was forced to sell the team
Guess who suggested they keep him
Where do you see that there was a vote?
https://slamonline.com/archives/nba-unsuccessfully-tried-get-rid-donald-sterling-1982/
A committee of six owners was formed to investigate the Clipper franchise, and on Sept. 20 it recommended that his ownership be terminated. It found that he was delinquent in paying creditors and was late in paying players. The league, under the general counsel David Stern, sought a buyer for the franchise, particularly one who would keep the team in San Diego. Sterling agreed to sell the franchise, and at Stern’s suggestion, turned over the operation of the team to Alan Rothenberg, a lawyer, who once came within one vote of being elected N.B.A. commissioner. Schooled in the ways of the N.B.A., Rothenberg, with power of attorney, became the Clipper president and its representative to the league’s board.

He was literally banned, agreed to sell the franchise then Stern handed over the keys to Rothenberg who was Sterling’s guy who helped him move the team to LA without approval and Stern swept it under the rug because he was a bitch
You must not understand. The committee recommended a vote and that vote didn’t happen because he was going to sell and then didn’t. The owners’ push then petered out. Stern wasn’t commissioner yet.
Most people outside NBA immediate circles didnt know how awful Donald Sterling was. Even his GM, Elgin Baylor who’d worked with him for decades was seemingly unaware.
All most folks knew about him was that he was cheap amd that his cheapness wasn’t doing the Clippers any favors.
It was a valid question. Because the NBA draft lottery definitely feels rigged.
Yes. But Jim Rome is a stupid person that believes asking a insane question is the same as a good one.
Why not ask “Why do believe people may feel the draft is rigged? Is there any steps that the league could make to add transparency? If not why do believe it’s not necessary?”
These questions will make him think before he answers.
Asking “Is the draft rigged?” it is just looking to rage bait for views.
reminds me of the Lawrence Summers scene in The Social Network. Powerful jewish dude stopped gaf a long time ago, if ever. “hey <secretary>? punch me in the face”
It’s used as a definition of a loaded question.
There’s no right answer, either admit you beat her? Or that you used to.
Sub domestic violence with anything else criminal works too.
Y’all hated David stern and I’ll never understand it lol
Maybe because he was a mobster who let shit racist owners own teams and have 20% win percentage in fucking LA? Maybe because of his dumbass rules like dress code and post Jordan making the league slow as fuck with the lowest ratings ever until he had to change everything and it still took decades to recover?
He was saved by Jordan making the league boom otherwise his entire stint is full of dumb shit he did because he was basically a mob boss
He did well at the start cleaning up the mess that was the NBA but he pretty much got lucky with Jordan and Magic/Bird
He didn’t just do well at the start lol he is the driving force for the NBA and ABA merger which led to the league becoming what it is today.
He was not the driving force of that, he was a lawyer who helped on it, Larry O’Brien the actual commissioner was trying to merge the leagues but it took years because of legal issues
The fuck are you giving credit to Sterling for something that was in the works for years and he was a lawyer at a firm that was representing them
What Stern did well was after that cleaning up the league from drug use at the start with the drug policy and actually enforcing it after he came in
Stern not Sterling mate. There is a reason why after the eventual merger he was appointed as the commissioner lol
Yes Stern mate, he was not the driving force behind the merger, Larry O’Brien was and the league was trying to merge for years before Stern was even in the picture for the NBA
They wanted to merge for years before that but legally it was an issue
Sterling was kept until the outcry was too big.
Sterling was only given the boot after his wife had him declared mentally unfit and agreed to sell the team against his will. That essentially destroyed Sterling’s ability to sue, so the NBA didn’t even take a risk when he was banned for life.
Well the ban happened months before that, only 4 days after the tape was released. Sterling threatened suit after the deal with Ballmer was already set up and that’s what got him removed from the picture.
Sir this is reddit there’s no room for truth or nuance here
I remember when they forced the dodgers to finally sell and the drama involved in that. And McCourt was basically embezzling on an epic scale. And still walked away with billions
I personally enjoyed the dress code. If you don’t think there is one now with the shit the coaches are wearing, you are soft brained. At least they looked professional in the suits.
…do you think that he had control over who owned the teams? The NBA has had a salary cap since 1985, it doesn’t matter if you’re in LA, this isn’t MLB.
It’s weird that everyone wants to say both that the horrible owners were not in Stern’s control, but then also that booting them wasn’t really an accomplishment for Silver.
Lol never seen anyone mention hating Stern for being a “mobster” 😂
tim Donaghy scandal basically had no consequences for one
He also had a big hand in letting the Sonics move and tried to hold the city of Seattle hostage for a new arena.
Why do people romanticize this piece of shit
He fixed many games in his era.
As if this era also hasn’t?
which ones
Especially compared to who we have now
Yeah I have no idea why we hated the dude that let refs fix games and then pinned it all on one dude, he had some funny interviews that’s the only thing that really matters
Brother half this sub was in still in diapers when Stern retired
Stern was 10x the commissioner silver is
The Stern revisionism lately is crazy
Yeah, Silver hasn’t even stepped up.to right any games yet
they’re both trash
He protected (or maybe even directed) crooked refs that gave playoff series to the teams they liked the most/were more profitable, most famously Lakers against the Kings in 02 and also kinda proved but less known to the Spurs against the Suns at least in 07.
He very likely allowed/ordered the rigging of several draft lotteries, like the Ewing Draft or the Cavs getting #1 pick after #1 when LeBron left.
And, on a much sillier note, he made a very stupid dress code that was kinda targeted against specific players that he wanted to “tame”.
Lakers fans specifically hate him for the Chris Paul trade “veto”, but I think that was honestly not on him and people don’t fully understand/remember the circumstances.
that was kinda targeted against specific players that he wanted to “tame”.
We can be more explicit about this. It was targeted at black people.
Yeah, I was going to allude to the racist undertones of that sudden implementation of that dress code, but I’m not American so I sometimes miss the nuances of race relations there and I wouldn’t have been able to explain it to someone who asked about it, so I decided to be more subtle about it.
Because in the latter part of his tenure, he fuckin sucked. The rigging was way worse during Stern’s time, had weird racist policies (remember when he had that crazy dress code??), and he let Donald Sterling run rampant. He had the worst scandal in league history happen under his watch (Donaghy), and oversaw a massive decline in viewership.
People always think the last guy is better than the current guy. Can’t wait for the new commissioner to come in ten years from now and for this sub to say shit like “People forget what a dawg Adam Silver was.”
Ask Lakers fans why they hate Stern
He didn’t let you have CP3 but he gave you the 02 championship so I think you gotta get over it.
Lmaoooooooo
So true
Id rather stern then silver tbh lol
Dumb, the league owned new Orleans at the time and the other owners decided not to do the trade as they didn’t want to help LA. Don’t trade with teams that don’t have ownership
Bingo. The problem here wasn’t him canceling the trade as de facto owner of the team, it was the league being allowed to own/run the organization in the first place. Larry Ellison wanted to buy the team and move it to San Jose, and the only reason that Stern ended up going this route was to block him.
The league owned them and Stern was the defacto owner. Are people purposely forgetting that? Stern literally vetoed the trade,
read all about my team’s owner:
““The league has killed it,” said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid jeopardizing his role in the talks. “I know that’s 100 percent true.”
Asked who had made the decision, the person said, “It definitely was David.”
The league did not immediately explain the decision, other than to issue a terse statement through a spokesman, saying, “League office declined to make the trade for basketball reasons.”Stern had the authority to kill the deal because the league owns the Hornets, having purchased the franchise from George Shinn in 2010. Until now, league officials had granted autonomy to the Hornets’ front office to make personnel decisions it deemed appropriate. This was the first time the league has stepped in.
Stern was said to be acting on behalf of some of the other owners, who were upset to see the Hornets send Paul — a premier point guard — to the Lakers, who have won five championships since 2000. Competitive reasons aside, some team executives speculated that the league was concerned that the Hornets’ resale value would plummet without Paul on the roster.
The N.B.A.’s spokesman, Tim Frank, said the trade was not killed by the other owners, nor was it discussed at the board of governors meeting earlier in the day.
But at least one owner did demand that the trade be rejected. Dan Gilbert, the Cleveland Cavaliers owner, referred to the trade as a “travesty” in a letter to Stern and others in the league Thursday night.
“I just don’t see how we can allow this trade to happen,” Gilbert writes in the letter, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times.
Gilbert claims that the deal would have saved the Lakers \(20 million in salaries over the next three years, and another \)21 million in luxury taxes — money that would go to small-market teams like the Cavaliers.
“I cannot remember ever seeing a trade where a team got by far the best player in the trade and saved over $40 million in the process,” Gilbert writes. “And it doesn’t appear that they would give up any draft picks, which might allow to later make a trade for Dwight Howard.”
Gilbert also states, “I know the vast majority of owners feel the same way that I do.” He asks for a vote of “the 29 owners of the Hornets” — a reference to the fact that each N.B.A. owner paid a share of the $300 million sale price.
Gilbert concludes, with sarcasm, “When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?””
Did you even read what you posted? So basically Stern colluded with other owners who were mad about the trade?
“Don’t trade with teams that dont have ownership”
Dumb solution, they cant just have a team that doesnt do trades, especially when you have a player the caliber of CP3 who wants out. Also you say other owners didnt want to help LA as if thats a good reason. Its telling you say that because the trade wasnt even that lopsided, its what you expect for a disgruntled player trade. The trade that ended up happening instead wasn’t even much better.
Its a conflict of interest for the commissioner to also run a team. Stern acknowledged this and said he would give full authority to Dell Demps to run the team.
Dell Demps did a trade. Stern went back on his word and vetoed the trade as acting owner. This screwed the Lakers as Odom was now pissed off knowing he was part of the trade and now all teams knew exactly what was needed to win the trade. Its fine that Stern decline the trade as acting owner but the way he went about it and went back on his word was 100% incompetent.
So teams with no ownership should be barred from conducting league business
not a bad idea
It would have been a horrible trade for New Orleans. Had a different owner been in place already and the gm brought that deal to them, they wouldn’t just reject it they probably would have fired the GM. But because stern was the acting owner and obviously rejected the GM’s dumbass trade, people still misunderstand that situation as the league trying to screw the lakers. As if the league has ever wanted to hurt the lakers.
Lakers fans and their dumb ass hate for Stern who didn’t even make that decisions the other owners did is not even in the top 10000 worst decisions Stern made
2006 wouldn’t.
David Stern was a virulent racist who helped cover up that referees were fixing games.
If you liked that guy it says something really questionable about your own character.
He fucked over the Kings and forced the Lakers down our throats
Ask Seattle why. lol
I gotta talk to someone important like Stephen a smith was the nail in the coffin
That was wild
https://media.tenor.com/KcIgF2eu5GoAAAAd/david-stern-drink.gif
Holy shit I forgot about this. You guys are killing it with the memories hahaha
Two things can be true:
Jim Rome is a shock jock and is clearly not for everyone
David stern was a complete piece of shit scumbag
Why was stern so bad, silver seems much worse.
Most shock jocks are also scumbags. For sure I’d expect a commissioner to be one too, for the record.
Two shitheads just having a conversation.
worstpersonyouknow.jpg
this is bonkers even still
Jim has his show free on YouTube starting today
i remember this, Stern thought he nailed it so hard lmao
My favorite part is when Stern says he is going to talk to someone important like Stephen A.
This will always be entertaining
Stern gave us Adam Silver
This is the only line I remember from this show.
“—WITHDRAWN.
Is that why you pop pills? —WITHDRAWN.
Are you a virgin? —WITHDRAWN.”
I heard this live in my car. Riveting radio
Lol did you repost your own post?
So touchy. 😂
Rome did nothing in that interview to deserve that but I still love Stern for saying it.
lol Jim Rome is such a stupid bitch boy. The last minute of this is beautiful.
What happened to the commissioner I love?
Stern was a G
92
I think Stern could have handled this better by presenting it as a hypothetical. The issue with this way is that the audience knew Jim Rome and knew his wife. I get what Stern was trying to do but it seemed overboard for a commish, which to me seems like he was protesting too much
Fucking classic! For basketball reasons, obviously.
