Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Summary of today's Jim Rome Show

"YEAH!"(followed by a "Quad Yeah). Then, "I'm not going to lie. Sometimes I do that to jump start myself.  It works, too, man," Jim said as he opened the show.

NFL
Cleveland Browns
   Rome started, "You know, I owe coach ManGustus an apology." Jim had got on Browns coach, Eric Mangini for calling the crazy lateral play that got Josh Cribbs hurt. Then, "...one problem. The play did not come from the sideline. Quarterback Brady Quinn made the call at the line himself. So, ManGustus, I sincerely apologize for putting all of that on you. My bad."

Raiders
   Quarterback JaMarcus was benched. Rome asked, "Have they officially given up on JaMarcus Russell and is he now in that Ryan Leaf class of biggest draft busts ever?...They're (Raiders) a mess, too."

College Football
Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh says going for 2 against USC was not personal.
Rome: "Right Jim, no more personal then saying, 'Screw you'. Because that's what you're saying when you go for 2 and you're up by 4 touchdowns with under 7 minutes to go."

Soccer
  Jim shocked the clones, "Something really strange happened to me last night watching World Cup qualifying soccer. I'm not sure you are going to like what I have to say about this...That's why I put off saying it..."
We were left hanging and Jim said he would get to it later.

E mail on the subject: "Rome. Rome. Don't do it. Don't you do it! Don't say you're getting into soccer, man. I have been a fan for years, dude. If you say you enjoyed a soccer match, then you should give yourself the Manual Buzzer over and over and over again. Then you should blast yourself with Greg in Sun Valley's buzzer a couple of times just for good measure. Don't  go there, Rome. Don't do it. Yours, the Clones." Ugly Bob in 96 South Carolina absolute soccer hater.

Andre Agassi Interview from Jim Rome is Burning.
   Jim played the interview he did with Andre on his TV show. In it, Andre said he was given a 2nd chance and he has committed himself to atoning for what he's felt very ashamed for in his life. His school is one way he does that. He said the book is another, hoping it will help others.
In 1997, he was depressed. When someone offered him Meth, he saw it as a way out and he took it.

Much reaction came in about the interview. Many, as well as Jim, felt that Andre was being truthful and sincere.

Soccer Topic
   Jim revisited it in the 3rd hour. "After all this time, I get it! I really do.........
Sure I DON'T!...AAAHHH!! (followed by a clip of the "Rick Roll" song). Then, "Soccer sucks...and that day's never coming."

Guests

Dave Wannstedt (Pittsburgh football)
   Pittsburgh is 9-1 for the first time since 1983. Jim asked of Dave's patience in trying to turn the program around. Dave said the players already there were Pitt guys like he is and he wanted to give each of them an opportunity to stay with the program. They are seeing 4th and 5th year players having a lot of success due to not being given up on.

Jay Glazer (Fox Sports)
   Jim asked him about the Browns. Jay said Eric Mangini doesn't treat his guys like men. Also, Jay says, "...gameplan(wise), stuff they're doing over there also doesn't seem to make an awful lot of sense..." Of practices, Jay commented, "...the guys are exhausted. He's running these practices 3 hours and 25 minutes...Why?...it ain't working."
Later, they talked about NFLers going to Jay (with Randy Couture) for MMA training.

Jason Kidd (Dallas Mavericks)
   They are 9-3 and in 1st place in the Southwest. Jason is 16 years in. He feels the changes the team made have been good. Players have stepped up when others got injured. Jason also credits Dirk Nowitski for raising his defensive level of play. Rome brought up Jason recently saying he would rather lose a step and know what he knows. "I'll take knowledge..." he said.

Text Contest

"Unwar cold showers. Van Smack! I started to cut my toughness groove this morning. It was freaking horrific. I think the reason Mac can do it is because he has no lettuce."
