Well he was a guest of our team a few days ago and after morning skate we presented him with a jersey with his name on the back. Couldn't get him on skates but he did hang around the locker room and chat with the guys. Funny moment; one of our assistant coaches was acting like he wanted a piece of Rome for comments Rome made back when he played in LA for the Kings. Apparently Rome said the guy would never make it in the league etc. Well 2 cups and 18 seasons later Darryl Sydor just retired and is in his first year of coaching. He was just messing with Rome though and all was good. Rome might want that take back.
Was very surprised at how small Rome was. Granted I am just under 6' 3", but damn dude has a small frame. Also must be very worried about germs as one of his handlers had Purel hand gel always at the ready.
As team guests go he is top 5 on my list behind both Bush Presidents and Josh Davis Olympic Swimmer, but ahead of Hillary, any NBAer, and all the Houston Texans.
