Live from Southern California. This is the Jim Rome Show.

The Running Back Market.

All right, so there are definitely good reasons why the market for running backs in the NFL is

now tanking faster than even crypto.

And it can also be true that nobody is enjoying watching that play out.

But the single biggest truth of all right now is this.

I know it's going to sound very counterintuitive to what I do on this program because I'm the first

got to say that saying something sucks is not a take.

It's lazy. However, it sucks to be a running back. In fact, it's the take of the year in the

NFL so far and it happened on this very program when my dude, Melvin Gordon, came in here last month,

not yesterday, not last week, but last month and he said it exactly the way it is for running backs.

It's just so tough for running backs right now man you have a lot of running backs that's out there.

We just don't get no love. It's literally the worst position to play it in the field right now. You know, it's it literally sucks.

That's literally awesome. I mean, I don't mean it's awesome that they're in that position but I mean that take is literally awesome

and it's not something he said yesterday at the deadline.

This is something he said a month ago.

I mean what an amazing take. He just said it perfectly. Alvin I wouldn't mind hearing that one more time

Melvin Gordon on this show talking about what it's like to be an NFL running back right now.

It's just so tough for running backs right now man you have a lot of running

backs that's out there we just we just don't get no love it's literally

the worst position to play it in the field right now. You know, it's literally sucks.

It's literally the perfect take.
