WYNALDA WHIMPERS AFTER ROME’S VERBAL FIREBOMBING: As you might expect, Jim Rome verbally firebombed Eric Wynalda on his radio and TV show yesterday, and ESPN SportsCenter also covered Wynalda’s asinine comments about the nationally-syndicated host.

The irony in what Wynalda said (”Jim Rome can suck my d—“) is that the two were friends and the soccer star-turned-analyst was a frequent guest on Rome’s show.

To his (slight) credit, Wynalda faced Rome about his verbal diarrhea, and (of course) claimed his comments were taken out of context and denied saying that he would “club” Rome’s “ass“.

Listen here to Rome rant about Wynalda and also hear Wynalda’s interview and subsequent apology.
