Jim Rome’s Rat Family

September 1, 2007 /

I’ve heard a bunch of Jim Rome callers begging for the return of the old ‘Rat Family’ that Rome had posted on this website (jimrome.com). I believe Rome pulled the Rats sometime in 2001 or 2002 when they launched a new website.

Rome has softened up a bit in the last few years, probably a function of his age and the growth of his kids. Name-calling based upon looks etc. has become a bit of taboo lately save certain celebrities such as Rosie O’Donnell (often referred to as Rosie O’Fat). Rome has said he’ll never under any circumstances bring back “Rome’s Favorite Rodents”. He won’t but I will. Here’s one of the last versions of the Rat Family preserved for the ages:

    You’re missing Marshall Applewhite (Heaven’s gate leader) and Marv Levy look alike pics, from the original rat family. Thanks.

    Nice – Rome mentioned “that site that republished the Rat Family” today on his show. This obscure reference might be the best thing that’s ever happened to me

    I was the original clone suggestion Rome bringing back the rat family. Do you have the pages of the horse family? And to the post earlier, Marv Levy and Marshall Applegate were part of the “twins family”. A couple of the others were lisa lobo and mr ed and mark mcgwire and the lead singer of metalica.

    Webmaster: Dean, I’ll work on that

    Fantastic! Heard lots about this, and it lives up to the hipe. Look at the size of that thing Mr. Pavin is chatin’ into!! Same size as his melon.
    A few of the dudes (and maybe some of the ladies) here would make great inductees into the Mustache Hall of Fame!
