Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Summary of today's Jim Rome Show

Jim wished the audience a "Tremendous Monday".
A few minutes later, he pretended he didn't remember who was playing in tonight's Monday Night Football game. Then of course ....
   The Minnesota Vikings vs the Green Bay Packers
Jim called it "the most hyped regular season game in the history of the world".  Yet he said he is looking foward to seeing it. As far as Brett Favre vs Aaron Rogers, Rome said, "Aaron Rogers is the better quarterback at this time. However, the Vikings are a better team ...and will win."

Rome, "Denver Broncos, Josh McDaniels...Karma (Aka, Jungle Karma: Good things happening to people recently on the show or are big supporters of the Jim Rome Show).
The Broncos are 4-0
E mail on the subject : "Hey Romy, can I get a "Quad Yeah" , signed 4-0 Josh McDaniels." Nate in Edmonton. "War '5 Hour Energy' and the 'portable buzzer'. Unwar flight delays."  (Rome noted that Nate misspelled "Romey")  Is this the same Nate in Edmonton who was the first caller ever to get run by the "portable buzzer"? (My question)

On Josh McDaniels, Jim Rome surmised that he may be the best to come out of Bill Belichick's stable.

Baseball

The Minnesota Twins will host the Detroit Tigers in one game to decide the last American League playoff spot. Rome, "Are the Tigers going to finish off that choke?"

Richard Seymour

Formerly of the Patriots, Seymour is now a Raider. Jim said, "...3 weeks later he (Seymour) has been totally institutionalized into the Raider way." Seymour was fined $7500 for pulling the hair of a Denver Bronco player. Asked if it was accidental, Seymour said, "...it was no mistake, brother." This led to a sound bite of Hulk Hogan saying "brother" as he did in interviews. This sound bite was played in funny ways several times before the end of the show.

Calls

Many more calls than usual were taken today. A lot were about  Brett Favre. One lady, Michelle in Little Rock, Arkansas said only people in Wisconson were upset with Brett Favre. She then said to Jim, "I think you're being a big baby."

Guests

Antonio Freeman (Former Green Bay Packer)
   He is the third Packer in  three shows to come on and talk about the upcoming game. He is the first to support Brett Favre, for the most part. He said, "It was weird to see him in purple......I support Brett." He also said he believes that Brett just wants to play football.

Tom Verducci (Sports Illustrated writer)
   He came on to talk baseball. Jim asked about "game 163" for the Twins and the Tigers. Tom said Minnesota is dangerous at home and therefore home field advantage will really mean something in this game. Rome asked if Tom felt the Tigers "put it in cruise" with their big lead in the division. Tom did not. He said they just started having problems hitting.  Jim then asked if Joe Mauer should win the MVP award, and would he win it. Tom said Mauer should win it and will win it.
