In 1994, one of the most notorious moments in sports television unfolded on ESPN2’s Talk2 when host Jim Rome repeatedly teased quarterback Jim Everett by calling him “Chris Evert.” After being warned, Rome said it again—and Everett finally lost his composure. He lunged across the desk, flipped it over, and sent Rome tumbling from his chair, creating live on-air chaos.

Buzzz History on Instagram: "So this is what rage baiting looks like in the '90s 😄 Jim Rome repeatedly called former NFL quarterback Jim Everett "Chris," which was a derogatory reference to the female tennis star Chris Evert. Jim Rome mocking is from Everett's perceived lack of toughness, which stemmed from an incident known as the "phantom sack" during the 1989 NFC Championship game where Everett went down without being touched. • Follow (us) @buzzzhistory for more 🎥⚡ #explore #viral #reels #
