Rome gone from ESPN Boston

It was mentioned a week or so ago that ESPN Boston would be doing a Red Sox/baseball talk show
weeknights from 6-7 pm, with Mike Felger being moved back to 3-6 pm. Apparently Jim Rome got squeezed
out; it's Colin Cowherd from 10 am to 1 pm then Dan Patrick 1-3 pm...not sure if maybe Rome can find a home
at WWZN (committed to Sporting News shows?). Rome is syndie by Premiere I think (Rush, Drudge,
Beck, Noory, Fox Sports Radio)
 
I'm sure there's video out there of his interview with Jim Everett (kept calling him "Chris", as in
Chris Evert, and got slapped down...)--ah here it is

Wikipedia: "Rome achieved notoriety for an incident on his ESPN2 show in 1994 when he repeatedly called NFL quarterback Jim Everett "Chris" (after Chris Evert, the female tennis player), from the argument that Everett shied away from getting hit. Appearing as a guest on the show, Everett warned Rome about repeating the insult and then challenged Rome to do so. When Rome did, Everett physically attacked Rome while still on the air, overturning a table and knocking Rome to the floor."
