Today on the Show
Jim Rome started of with the Chicago at Denver preseason game. He said,"Hey Bronco fans, one word, UH OH!" (Followed by Carl Lewis' famous UH OH! clip). Jim went on, "Jay Cuyler got over huge last night in Denver." Rome described how Cutler went in where 80,000 furious Bronco fans were giving him a collective thumbs down. "He walks in as a villian and walks out carrying a bloody sword." Bronco fans were obviously worked up. Jim called it the "Super Bowl of Hate".
Michigan Football Coach Rich Rodriguez cried at his press conference today. Players had anonymously gone to the press saying he was working them over the (NCAA ) allowable 20 hours a week.
Raiders lost 45-7 to the Saints (45-0 at one point)
Fantasy Football got a lot of run again today. (Of course that means the Fantasy Alert!)
Guests
Andy Reid (Philadelphia Eagles Coach)
He restated that Donovan McNabb is the #1 QB in Philly. When asked why he took Michael Vick, he said they had a good locker room that could handle it and he believes in 2nd chances. He cited personal experience dealing with young men who have needed a 2nd chance.
Scott Feldman (Texas Rangers pitcher)
Scott spoke how Mike Maddux's help played a part in his 14 wins this season.
Drew Sharp (Detroit Free Press)
Rome asked him about the Rich Rodriguez situation. He said the Michigan 6 players that went to the press had stories that corroborated each other.

Jim Rome Clone Report
Today on the Show
The show started with a "Quad Yeah" followed by Jim with a slow,"yeah" and a "struggling" ala Joe Namath. Rome then gave and upbeat "What is up?"
With jet lag and just pure lack of sleep, Rome makes it back to SoCal for Friday's show. After saying he was a little punch drunk from lack of sleep, Jim went on to lay out some of his thoughts about yesterday in Cleveland during and after the show. Right after , he had a TV interview. Then 2 meetings with advertisers were followed by spending time with some clones. Finally Jim and Kyle made it to the listener party which was actually a lot of work and they didn't have time to eat! They had to eat at the airport, arrived in LA and was stuck in the plane on the tarmac for a while. Jim got to bed at 1am and was up at 4:45 Friday!
E mailers were offering odds on how many "5 Hour Energy's " Jim would need to make it through the show.
Topics
Michael Vick appears in his first preseason game with the Eagles.
He got in for 6 plays total, 5 at QB and 1 as a wide out. Rome felt the only thing revealed was that Vick still has a strong arm. Jim 's main take was that Vick's presence was eventually going to cause problems and grief for Donovan McNabb.
Brandon Marshall gets suspended for the rest of the preseason for conduct detrimental to the team.
Brett Favre gets irritated when asked if there is a schism in the Viking locker room.
Guests
Ron Jaworski (Former Eagles QB, NFL analyst)
Asked what he thought of Vick last night, he said,"Nothing special, what I expected." He then went on to express feelings of potential problems having Vick used in "certain situations" at QB. He compared it to 1986 when Randall Cunningham was used in 3rd and long situations when Jaworski was Eagles QB.
Orel Hershiser (Dodger great) talked about the Little League World Series, which he is working for ABC.
Rodney Harrison (former NFLer and NFL analyst)
Jim asked Rodney about Brandon Marshall. He said despite contract situations, players have to handle themselver as professionalls. "He has to grow up, mature, and understand that you have to go out and play football and everything else will take care of itself."
Odds results
Officially, Jim made it through the show with 1 "5 Hour Energy"

Jim Rome Clone Report
Today on the Show
CLEVELAND!!
Jim Rome broadcasts from the studios of am 850 WKNR in Cleveland, Ohio. Jim started off telling us why he is in Cleveland. He said,"This market and this station and this town and the clones in Cleveland have been critical to the growth of the Jungle. I would argue that the Jungle would not be what it is today without this station, WKNR, without this market and without the listeners here. That's why I'm here! To pay my respects, to say thank you for more than 12 years of unbelieveable support."
Many Cleveland anecdotes were shared, Tour Stop moments revisited, and Cleveland personalities and callers discussed.
Also , Clevaland Guests were on.
Guests
Mike Brown (Cavaliers Head Coach)
Mike said the off season went well, team needs were met. He said the size and length of teams like the Lakers and the Magic hurt them and that need was addressed with the acquisition of Shaq and others. Also addressed was Lebron choosing not to sign an extension with the Cavaliers yet. Brown said he had not spoken to Lebron about it once, yet.
Earnest Byner (Titans RB coach)
Earnest talked about his time with the Cleveland Browns as a player. He very frankly addressed the fumble he had in a crucial playoff game. It was over his head for years but the experience changed him and he is better for it.
Bernie Kosar (Former Brown great)
Bernie said he was a fan of the show. His first story was of being inspired by a soldier who lost his legs in Afghanistan and had spoken to the Browns team. Also, Rome brought up Bernie playing in a game in 1992 with a broken leg.
Grady Sizemore (Cleveland Indians)
Grady spoke about the high hopes the Indians had coming into the season and the disappointment of the season not turning out well.
Jim Brown (NFL Hall of Famer and Brown great)
Jim Brown talked about his antigang intervention program calle Ameri CAN. Jim Rome asked Brown about whether contemporary star Black athletes have a responsibility to use the forum and influence they have to speak out on issues. Jim Brown brought up Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan and said he felt they were here for change, saying the big guns have to step up.

Jim Rome Clone Report
Today on the Show
First off, Jim Rome said,"Go easy on J. Stew. He's taking the calls AND screening the texts and is coming off shooting another episode of Gary Unmarried."
Florida International University Basketball
In the news because they are upset that they will not be starting off their season against Ohio State as they thought. Instead Coaches vs Cancer tournament organizers have put them up against defending National Champs, North Carolina. FIU is threatening not to show up, saying they had a contract to play Ohio State.
Rome's take: "...you will go to Chapel Hill and hope Roy Williams calls off the dogs early on and you keep it within 70. And in return for your efforts you're going to get some national pub in exchange for getting your teeth kicked in."
Mark Sanchez was named starting QB for the Jets for the season opener.
Ted Kennedy passed away. Jim said he would comment but not read clone comments about it.
Cleveland
Jim Rome will broadcast tomorrow's show from the studios of his affiliate in Cleveland, Ohio. He and Kyle Brandt will attend a listener after party.
E mailers hit it hard with warnings and checklists for Jim during his C-Town visit.
Caller
Nick in Houston glossed himself "Iceman" and got run in 6 seconds.
comment: I guess he hasn't been a long time listener. J. Stew used to encourage guys to gloss themselves just so Jim would run them. I like the original buzzer on that kind of run!
Guests
Ken Whisenhunt (Arizona Cardinals Coach)
Steve Smith (Panther Wide Receiver) A somewhat kinder, gentler Steve Smith on the show today
Randy Couture (former UFC Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight Champ)
-Has a fight Saturday against Antonio Noguiera, ju jitsu specialist. Randy spoke of preparing for the fight to go the distance and for all eventualities, especially the fight going to the ground. He has been working hard in camp on his Ju Jitsu. Jim Rome brought up Randy's son, 27, having an MMA match last week. Randy let us know he won and Randy is proud of him.
Jim asked Randy if he had Brock Lesnar in the back of his mind. Randy said,"Not in the back of my mind, there are a lot of interesting fights being suggested to him, including at light heavyweight." He did later say that he would like to try again against Brock.
Test Contest
"Smack, wow. Steve Smith is having fun....FANTASY (FOOTBALL) ALERT!!!"
"Hey Rome, not to call you out, but I'm pretty sure Lisa (caller) is a dude. Signed, Rosemary"

Jim Rome Clone Report
Today on the Show
Jim opened the show with ,"A tremendous Tuesday to you!"
First subject: Plaxico Burress. Excerps were played from an upcoming interview with Burress. In it he says he did not realize he had shot himself. He said something to the effect,"I felt my leg wet and saw something was on my Chuck Taylor shoes."
Jim's take: "How do you not know you're shot? Either you're really drunk or that's the hardest cat ever!"
E mailers and callers were on two sides. Most agreed with Jim. Some cited the tremendous noise of the gun used, others the recoil of the gun. Some, however, said it was possible to have so much adrenaline going that you don't know. Rome didn't buy it.
Michael Beasley, Miami Heat Foward, reportedly checked into rehab. Jim asked if it was for the "hippie lettuce" or depression.
Phillip Rivers signed a 6 year, $92 million contract with the Chargers. ($38 million guaranteed)
An E mailer asked Jim to not play the "J. Stew" song during the last segment of the show today. Jim had Alvin fire up the song and said,"How about in the first segment?" The song played in the backround for the rest of the segment.(4 minutes!)
A caller, Scott in Salt Lake, ended his call with,"War 'going me' to uh, lunch at Del Taco and asking for some 'hot sauce in my bag' ." He took some heat for that misspeak.
Guests
John Smoltz (Cardinals pitcher) He spoke about his great start with the Cardinals, pressing and trying to prove too much in Boston, and his history with the Braves.
Antonio Gates (Chargers Tight End) He talked about Phillip Rivers, himself and LaDanian Tomlinson being healthier. After the interview, Jim hit the Fantasy Alert Alarm with each reset of a players health! Very funny.
Todd Haley (Kansas City Chiefs head coach) He said they were still in training camp mode. Also, he is putting a premium on competition at each position to make the team better.
Text Contest (J. Stew)
"Hey Rome, what's wrong with an NFL player sporting a minivan? Warm regards, Usain Bolt's Honda Civic.
War, 'I'm looking for Debbie'."
Jim said,"Pretty bad, Stew"
"Dear Vine in the box, You say that you need to recreate your identity. We've already done that for you, regards, you Wikipedia page"

Jim Rome Clone Report
Today on the Show
Jim started off with takes on the NFL Preseason.
Kicking and kickers are "in". AJ Trapasso is leading the way. He's the guy that ran a fake punt 40 yards
for a TD in the Hall of Fame game. This last weekend he was in the news for hitting Jerry Jones' $40
million jumbotron with a punt in the new Cowboy Stadium. Jones said it wasn't too low and the kicker did
it on purpose.
Brandon Marshall still wants out of Denver.
Kyle Orton let loose a crazy left handed pass...that didn't work.
Lions players were fighting each other on the sidelines before a game.
Guests
Bo Pelini (Nebraska football coach) He talked about wanting to bring Nebraska back to national prominence.
Chris Paul (Hornet guard) Chris let us in on his busy summer which included having a son, visiting China, and taking college summer classes.
Steve Young (Former 49ers QB) : He was asked by Jim about Brett Favre. Steve gave insight into what was like to retire and feel like he could still play in the NFL.
E Mails
Partially preempted by...
Kyle Brandt
Kyle came in and talked about getting "permitted" to ride a motorcycle in California. He said the course and getting the permit was alarmingly easy. However, he admitted to being the only one in the class to crash. With a permit, Kyle can't ride at night or with a passenger on the back. Kyle said most of the e mails on the subject were about J. Stew being on the back of Kyle's motorcycle or in a side car.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Today on the Show
First topic was Tom Cable and...the Raiders. now a report that he told Randy Hansen, quote,"I am going to kill you. I am going to kill you." ...as he was choking him.
Rome's first words on that," I am going to kill you (repeated) while choking a guy is not exactly the same as rolling him out of a chair and smacking his face up against a cabinet...and definately not the same as "nothing happened", which is what Tom Cable tried to say."
Jim also spoke of the "entire culture" of the Raiders that breeds such things. He said it, the culture, starts from the Al Davis down. Randy Hansen was said to be Al Davis' guy. It was mentioned again that Jon Gruden also had problems with him.
Kyle Brandt
Kyle came on microphone briefly and mentioned taking a call from "Vinny Mack" while doing some call screening. Later Jim asked him what he was doing this weekend. Kyle said he was taking a weekend long course on how to ride a motorcycle.
Eddie in Boise
Jim informed the audience that Eddie had been on hold for 6 days waiting to improve upon his infamous first call. Over an hour later, with E mailers calling for Jim to "free Eddie", he was put on the air. Unfortunately, after a very long intro, he said he was now going to "get to his take". Shortly thereafter he got RUN!
Guests
Jayson Stark (ESPN) talked baseball and his book on the 2008 Phillies
Michael Young (Texas Ranger shortstop) Jim brought up that he heard a line on Entourage using the name Michael Young. They both wondered if it was about him. Later another Michael Young, a friend of an Entourage castmember, called in and said the line was about him. This was confirmed later.
Ray Ratto ( San Francisco Chronicle) spoke about the Raiders

Actual Triple U: "Dad, I am so excited that we all get to go to the track, Alvin"

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Today on the Show
Plaxico Berress pleaded guilty to a weapons charge. He has agreed to a 2 year prison term. Jim Rome remarked, "As bad as that sounds , and it is brutal. As bad as that is, it still could have been worse."
Without the plea deal, he was looking at a minimum of 3 1/2 years. There was discussion if whether the sentence was fair considering Donte Stallworth got 24 days for a DUI that led to a crash inwhich someone was killed.
Other Subjects Discussed.
Memphis will be forced to vacate its 38 wins in 2007, 2008 season because of NCAA violations.
Tim Tebow did a GQ Magazine spread.
Reggie Bush is, as Jim put it,"on the wagon. Not for drugs or alcohol, but for...wait for it...juking." Apparently Reggie now feels his speed is enough to run past the opposition without juking.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Today on the Show
More reaction to Brett Favre took place. He had a press conference and Jim Rome and others reacted throughout the show. "The jig is up, Brett" was Jim's first response. Repeating that we never really know who athletes or other public figures are, Jim spoke further on Brett. He said Brett was trying to make people think he had just "jumped off his tractor and was just some Wrangler wearing, ball loving fool who'd play the game for free. Nothing could be further from the truth. One of the biggest reasons you're coming back is for the 12 mil the Vikings are supposed to pay you this season."
Most Packer fan callers, E mailers, and texters were angry. A few weren't.
Guests
Santana Moss, Redskins wide receiver ( insightful interview with anecdotes about his life now as well as his time at "The U")
Cris Collinsworth, NBC football. (Gave his take on Brett Favre and some other things)
Sally Jenkins, Washington Post (spoke about Tiger Woods and the PGA)
Mystery
Jay Mohr came on in the 3rd hour and talked about J. Stew's performance on the set of Gary Unmarried yesterday. He said Stew played a Surgeon. After Jay got off Jim asked J. Stew about this. We didn't hear the answer on air and Jim went on to something else. So, was he playing a sports talk show host or a surgeon???

Jim Rome Clone Report
Today on the Jim Rome Show
A big topic was Brett Favre, who has changed his mind...again. He IS going to play with the Minnesota Vikings.
Rome's first response..." Yeah, whatever"
Jim went on to say that Brett better be real good then! Or..Real bad for the spectacle of the whole thing. Mediocre won't do.
Also, Jay Stew! He's going to tape another T.V. show today. Major T.V. network. Wait for it....
a guest spot on Gary Unmarried with Jungle guest host and T.V. Star Jay Mohr. Stew will play a sports radio host!
Another subject was the reported incident between Raider's head coach Tom Cable and his assistant Randy Hansen. Speculation was that Cable sucker punched Hansen. Then the report was that Cable flipped Hansen out of his chair and Hansen hit his cheek on a cabinet.
Jim's take: Right! Which story sounds more realistic?

Jim Rome Clone Report
August 17, 2009
Today on the Show
It was the first day for the program to start at the top of each hour. 12pm Eastern, 9am Pacific, etc. for the beginning and the top of each successive hour.
Michael Vick's 60 Minutes interview and the PGA Championship were the major topics of the show. Jim Rome said that Michael Vick owned up to everything he did wrong and didn't try to spin any of it. Further, Rome's take was that saying all the right things was not enough. Vick is going to have to prove it.
Jim's first word on the PGA Championship, " ...which I thought was incredible." For the first time Tiger Woods lost a tournament after leading going into the last day. The man to beat him: Y.E. Yang.
Guests
Tony Dungy
He has been mentoring Michael Vick. He gave no excuses for Vick, but said that in moving foward Vick has to make the right decisions.
David Feherty
CBS Golf Anylist. He spoke with Jim regarding the PGA Championship
Frank Beamer
Virginia Tech Football coach. He mentioned that despite their preseason #7 ranking, they are a young team. Also, being Michael Vick's college coach, Rome asked him about Vick. Beamer felt Michael was sincerely regretful and wanting to get back on the right track.
Frank Gore
Running Back with the San Francisco 49ers. Gore spoke of working hard in the off season and of his desire and willingness to be a leader on the team.
Call
Yours truly (Greg in Sun Valley) called in and got on around 11:40 pacific time. I, too, wanted to know who Y.E. Yang was and if that was a rooster on the back of his shirt while he was getting an eagle on 14!

Jim Rome Clone Report August 14, 2009
Here's my latest Rome Show parody video
Today's Show
Michael Vick signs with the Philadelphia Eagles! The Jim Rome Show opened with this story, of course. Jim hit on how the prevailing thought was that Vick may sign with a small market team to avoid the glare of the spotlight. This signing blows that out of the water. Michael Vick has been thrust into a market known for unforgiving and demanding fans. Much was discussed on the program about whether or not Donovan McNabb was as happy or on board with the signing of Vick as he says he is.
Jim mentioned, but did not elaborate on Seattle Mariner Adrian Beltre suffering....let's just say a "groin" area injury.
E-Mails
Vic in NoCal had the E mail of the day, in my opinion, although Jim does not appear to award an E mail of the Day anymore. Vic let loose a tirade against Entitlement Eric and other E mailers. Eric's request for bumper music before and after his E mails did not sit well with Vic. Vic insisted that the show was a caller driven show and E mailers should come out from behind the safety of their computers and call the show.
Text contest
entry: "Hey Rome, unwar the neighbor that sees you grilling and says, 'I like mine medium rare'." Adam in Pensacola
Triple U submission: "You're in the theater. No one else is there and some idiot comes and sits right next to you." Chris in NoCal

Jim Rome Clone Report
Today in the Jungle August 13, 2009
Rick Pitino remained a big topic on the show. He had a press conference where he referred to the difficulties he went through losing poople on 9/11/2001. First Jim Rome felt Pitino was comparing his losses then to his situation now. Some e-mailers wrote in suggesting Pitino was saying 9/11 led to a downward spiral in his life that may have contributed to his actions 6 years ago that were made public recently. Either way, Rome felt it was wrong and inappropriate to invoke 9/11. Jim called the press conference "bizarre".
Also, one of Jim's horses, Hot N' Dusty, goes from last to first to win at Del Mar.
My take: Nice Dave Wottle impression, Dusty!

Jim Rome Clone Report
Today in the Jungle, August 12, 2009
Another day, another sports figure dealing with trouble. Today's first and prevailing topic, Rick Pitino. The Louisville Basketball coach was accused of rape and paying for the alleged victim's abortion. The alleged incident took place 6 years ago. Pitino had gone to authorities alleging the woman involved was attempting to extort money from him.
Jim Rome's take.....Rick Pitino is guilty....of terrible judgement, whether the incident was consentual or not. Also, Jim spoke of how he felt this would hurt Rick Pitino's "brand" but that he shouldn't, and probably wouldn't be fired from his job.
Line of the Day
"That's menacing!" ...referring to the goatee of Kevin Youkilis of the Boston Red Sox. Jim was breaking down the fight that took place between the Detroit Tigers and the Red Sox. He added that the goatee added 15lbs. to his weight. He jokingly referred to Youkilis as 6 feet, 235 lbs.

Jim Rome Clone Report
Today in the Jungle - August 11, 2009
The hot topic today on the Jim Rome Radio Show aka "The Jungle" was major league baseball player, Josh Hamilton and the subject of addiction. Recent photos were recently published that are said to show that Josh had a relapse in his fight against addiction.
Fittingly, Darryl Strawberry was on the show as a guest to discuss his book, his fight with addiction, and to comment on Josh Hamilton.
Jim Rome handled the subject with dignity. Although sensitive to the reality of addiction, Jim did point out the need for accountability, as he often does regarding sports figures and people at large. It was pointed out that Josh Hamilton came out and acknowleged the photos without equivocation and took responsibility.
