Chess coach Chris Torres has a great love for the Royal Game, and this enthusiasm extends to the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+).
His thoughts and games can be seen in a number of posts on this site: "Always Be Ready to Deliver Checkmate", "The Most Violent Chess Game Ever Played!", "Another Lesson in the Jerome Gambit", "More Musings" and "More Useful Junk", "Good Old Uncle Jerome" and Jerome Gambit: Education in Defense.
Coach Chris has upgraded his chessmusings.wordpress blog to its own domain, where he is now now blogging: https://dailychessmusings.com
He is also livestreaming at Chess.com.
If you check out the YouTube video "Saturday Night Blitz with Coach Chris (CoachTortoise)" at about the 34:45 mark, you will hear a familiar lament
Well, I've tried playing good chess and I've done that bad, so now I'm going to try playing bad chess good.
Of course, what follows is another delightful Jerome Gambit by Chris, one that shows a checkmate by White in 21 moves.
You should really check it out.
