Jim Rome Clone Report

Summary of today's Jim Rome Show

Jim started off referencing being "fresh off a nice 72." (3 day weekend)

Topic-wise, Rome started wlith the MNF game between the NY Jets and the Miami Dolphins.  He said Chad Henne looked good for Miami, but isn't Dan Marino yet. Jim said Henne was helped by Ricky Williams and Ronny Brown in the "Wildcat" offense.  They surprised the Jets 31-27. Jets coach Rex Ryan dismissed the Wildcat and blamed his defenses poor performance.

Early E mails

   "Entitlement" Eric (with requisite "Loser" song playing) : "Dear Jim, We think that Miami found their QB...
... make the world a better place, punch Dave in St. Louis and his lame shtick in the face..."
J
   Dave in St. Louis: "Hey Van Smack, After the series that the playoff choking purple lipstick wearer had against the Twins, it's time to give Alexis Broadriguez a 'Drug Check' ..."

Other topics

Browns beat the Bills...with their QB going 2 for 17. Rome said, "that's bad".

49ers lose.
Rome, "That thud you hear is the 49ers crashing back to Earth"

Phillies come back against the Rockies in game 4 to win the series. Jim said that for Colorado it was a "gut wrenching loss."

Denver Broncos beat the Patriots
   Rome said, "Josh McDaniels is incredible. No one thought they would win 5 games this year. Now they are 5-0." Jim later called Coach McDaniels a prodigy.

Romes "Rick Roll"

   Jim came on in the 3rd hour and said he needed an old school caller to come in and pick him up. Coming back from a break, Jim said he had Jim in Fall River on the line. He even played an old call of Jim's. Then when he introduced him and went to him...a song played. Then Rome said, "Yeah like that guy was going to call. You just got "Rick Rolled". (Vic in NoCal had previously sent an E mail saying he had "Rick Rolled" Jay Mohr.)

Guests

Colt McCoy (Texas Longhorns QB)
   Colt said they didn't play consistently against Colorado, but gave their defense credit for keeping them in the game until the offense was able to rally.  They are now looking foward to the rivalry game against Oklahoma.  Rome asked him if he would like to see Sam Bradford at his best or would he just like a win. Colt said he wanted to beat Oklahoma at their best. Also, he wished Bradford well. They had roomed together at a camp in 2008.

Ben Francisco (Philadelphia Phillies)
   He was traded at the deadline and is now with the Phillies and in the NLCS.  Ben says it feels good. The trade did catch him off guard, though. Ben is a "Jungle" guy. He took a picture of a guy smoking a pipe and sent it to Ryan Garko, who sent it in to Jim Rome.

Terrell Suggs (Baltimore Ravens)
   He hated to lose against the Bengals on Sunday. Suggs said it sucked to give up 127 yard to Cedric Benson. Chad Ochocinco said he wanted to box Terrell Suggs. Terrell said he's ok with Chad. "It's all in good fun...He doesn't really want to get in a dog fight with me...all of us know Chad... I'm a fan of his."

Text Contest

"Hey Rome. Dude, I literally interrupted a conversation with my wife to hear Jim in Fall River's call, only to get "Rick, line, and sinkered. Well played."    Vince in the 909

"Hey Rome. Please tell me you say that commercial with Miss Teen South Carolina hocking pistachios."

"Van Smaaack! Maybe we can't win the big game, but at least we don't lose them all. Lendale White sucks. Signed Buckeye Nation."
