MNF
Steelers beat Broncos
Rome commented, "The sky is not falling in Denver...They had one really bad half...Kyle Orton just happened to pick a pretty bad time to remember he's Kyle Orton...He threw 3 really bad picks..." Jim went on to say the Broncos will be fine and...Redskins week arrives just in time.
Andre Agassi
A former #1 player said that Andre Agassi should give back his money and his titles after admitting he tested positive for a banned substance and lied about it. Jim said, "...Meth did not help his career. It nearly derailed his career...If you want to crack on him for tweaking and for lying about it, so be it. But asking him to give back his titles and his money is ridiculous....Roids make you bigger, and faster, and stronger. Meth rots your teeth and you brain."
Jim's Dream
Jim told us, "I had a weird dream last night....I could have swore I was sleeping and a moose broke into my room and basically was just going to maul me...What does it mean? It can't be good, right?" In his "Hacksaw" voice Rome continued, "I ...want to hear from a psychologist! What does it mean?" Then in his own voice, "Look that up! Google that!" A psychologist did call and gave a theory that didn't really fit Rome.
Sammy Sosa
An E mail brought up the Sammy Sosa "face" story again. Jim addressed it, "...Right now I would rather talk about Sammy Sosa's face...What happened to it? Have you seen the pictures? It's turned a shade of white...I know, I know, 'Hey Rome. What happened to personal appearances are not show fodder'? They're not, although, I'll admit. I'm walking the thin line of ...hypocrisy here. He looks weird. He looks creepy. He doesn't look right...I thought what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. That should apply to Sammy's face also...The king of pop called. He wants his face back..."
Caller
Eddie in Boise called. Jim said he respects Eddies persistence. He then reset Eddie's previous calls.
1st call : "...seeing the Vikings standing on the banks of the 'What Do We Do Now' river..."
2nd call: "Hey Vine....Thanks for the vine, Rome."
Today : A call with a song parody cracking on other clones to the tune of "Copacabana"....AAAAHHH!
He got run...again! Jim said, "Well bro, you gave it a shot....Barry Manilow???...You had to know that wasn't going to fly...Wow. I'm pulling for you, but you have to give me something to work with."
Guests
Mike Freeman (Author)
His latest book is "Bowden. How Bobby Bowden forged a Football Dynasty." Jim started by asking about the two points of view regarding Bobby Bowden: 1. He should resign or retire. 2. He should be able to go out on his own terms for all he's done for Florida State University. Mike falls into the 2nd camp. Bowden is 80 years old and the program has been mediocre in recent years. Mike said, "...if he continues to lose like this , he's going to have a hard time.(staying). They also spoke of Bobby and Joe Paterno vying for the career wins record.
Mike Silver (Yahoo! Sports columnist)
They started with the Raiders and the restricted access they give to press members that upset them. This includes former Raider QB Rich Gannon. Coach Tom Cable's newest problems were discussed. He is accused of violence against women.
Drew Brees (New Orleans Saints)
The Saints are 8-0 for the first time ever. Drew said they did not play well in the 1st half against the Panthers on Sunday. Drew said both the defense and offense clicked in the 2nd half and they were able to win. He also said the team has emphasized finishing games and playing hard in the 4th quarter.
Drew is part of a national program where an NFL player takes a child to school for the day. Today, Drew took a young girl to school and spoke to the students there about physical fitness. He had a great time.
