Now, are all the traitors present? Let's get started, shall we? From rags to riches. I'm so sick of this.

Working like a dog and being treated worse. Yorkshire to New York. Or climbers, you and me.

A life dedicated to revenge. Let's make this an occasion to remember. A woman of substance on Channel 4, stream now.

Welcome to the program. What's going on? A very good Monday to you. I'm Jim Rome. Nice to have you here. Hope you had a great weekend. Hope your week's up to a good start. Let's go ahead and get it. With professional great products for every industry, Granger has you covered. You want to call her click Granger.com or stop on by. If you know what you want to talk about, You want to hit me up right now. I've got two interviews coming up and then I've got the after hour later on today with the big head, James Kelly. So we have a lot to cover. Obviously a lot of NCAA tournament action. But that's not the only thing. What I'm trying to say to you is, if you know what you want to cover, do not wait on me. Do not wait on the open. Get in here right now. By now you should know the drill. Phone number is 1-8-00-636-8-6-86. Get to the X. Follow me at Jim Rome. Watch the program on the X. Post on the X. Get there right now. Email us to Rome, ROME at have a

take.com. So in terms of the interviews, big, big day, knock on this white desk. My man, Charles

Barkley, is supposed to join me at 1240. Thank you, Alvey. Coming up in hour number three, my other guy, Tom Isso,

supposed to join me. I don't want jinx either one of those, but I got to promote, right?

Gotta promote. Just don't want to jinx them. A couple of Hall of Famers joining me,

allegedly, reportedly, hopefully, looking forward to that. So those are the two interviews

that we have. Remember, if you don't mind, can you shoot on over to our YouTube channel? Check it out.

If you like what you see, can you hit the sub button? That'd be great. All right. So all of that

coming up, and Monday's an ATP day. And once again, the after hour, James Kelly is not going to come

by just for his one segment, but for the entire hour. He and I have been talking about the program

this morning. In fact, even over the weekend. So lots to get done. Let's start with the NCAA tournament.

Now, my sense is, no shortage of haters trying to come out and say, you see, Rome,

you see, the tournament is not the best thing in the world. The tournament does not always live

up to the hype, like you always say. Hey, Rome, where is the chaos? Where are the upsets? Where are

this Cinderella's? What do we have here? We have a

sweet 16 with 16 power programs. Come on, Rome, you know, because of NIL and players getting paid.

So that divide between the haves and the have-nots has never been greater.

So this was all inevitable.

Where is that chaos?
