Nationally syndicated sports talk show host Jim Rome rolled the dice earlier this year, walking away from Jim Rome is Burning on ESPN for a deal with CBS Sports/Showtime.

Six weeks after the premiere of Rome on the CBS Sports Network, the "King of Smack" told media reporter Ed Sherman that he has no regrets about his decision to leave:

Do people still say to you, 'You're crazy, why did you leave ESPN?

Yeah, little bit. Once in a while. It's not just the one show. It's the whole platform. It's been great. They were very good to me at ESPN. I had a great run there. CBS has been awesome. It's a great company to work for. They give me a lot of support. I've never once looked back.

It's a big picture thing. I'm not so locked in that it's just the TV show. I'm reaching so many different places across the platforms. Once I made the decision, once I'm in, I'm all in. It might sound trite, but I'm trying to do the best TV show I can do every single day. That's what I'm focused on. It's going to take some time. As long as I can do a TV show I'm proud of, that's the only thing that matters.

So no buyer's remorse?

I'm not like that. I thought about this for a long, long time. Once I decided to do it, I was all in. No buyer's remorse at all.

I know what I signed up for. I understand where I am right now. I know I'm supposed to help drive the eyeballs to this network.
