Jim Rome Clone Report

Summary of today's Jim Rome Show

MNF
Ravens vs Browns
   Rome started, "the best thing I can say about that game...is the game is over. I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that that is the last Monday Night game we're going to see for the Browns in a very long time. Boy, that was some game, wasn't it? 0-0 at halftime." Of the last play of the game, Jim added, "Could anybody other than the Browns get their only good player hurt on the final play of a game? ...A play that was not going to affect the outcome of that game?"  Josh Cribbs got hurt after a lateral.

E mail on the subject:
"Dear Cleveland, BOHICA, regards, Art streaming in Buffalo." Mike in Chicago (BOHICA sound byte was played.)

Bill Bellichick
   He is defending his decision to go for it on 4th and 2 late in the game against the Colts. He said the call gave them the best chance to win. Rome disagreed, "I don't think it's the worst decision ever. I just wouldn't have done it. I think it's the wrong call."

Charlie Weis
   Jim said Weis has a big problem, "...and if he loses to U Conn he'll be looking for a new job. If he beats U Conn and loses to Stanford, he may still be looking for a new job."

NBA
 Allen Iverson
   Rome, "Pretty shocked to see that Memphis/Allen Iverson thing didn't work out...I'm surprised it lasted 3 games...what a disgrace, 3 games."

College Basketball
   UCLA loses to Cal State Fullerton at Pauley Pavilion! Cal State Fullerton is J. Stew's alma mater. Jim said, "That's rock bottom....Huge week fo Fullerton. J.Stew smashes ratings marks. Fullerton goes into Pauley and does the Bruins....Keep balling, weaklings! ...Congrats, Stew."

E mail on J. Stew

"Hey Rome. I just watched that clip on jimrome.com. What the hell was that? J.Stew barely moved his lips, but he sounded like he was yelling. I love how the camera panned up from his gut to his moley face. Pure awesomeness!"

Clones Choice
  Jim is off next week. The Friday after Thanksgiving will be a "Best Of" show. The audience will be able vote at http://www.jimrome.com/ for segments to be played on air that day.

E mail on the subject:
"Hey Rome. Clones get to program the show? Sounds like we're going to have to get ourselves ready. Regards, "Come on Rachel shave your back", "Kyle's house hunting story", Carl in Rosemead's bomb", "and personal appearance quick hitters". Greg in Tampa.
Jim's response : "No. There is not going to be a write in category. You choose from the list I give you."

Bud Adams
   The Tennessee Titan's owner was fined $250,000 for giving a "double bird" to fans at Buffalo. Jim, "A quarter mil? ...If he had gone single bird, would it be a buck and a quarter? .....You've got to love an 86 year old guy who still gets that fired up, on his feet, in a luxury box, during a victory dropping that double bird...As funny as that is, you just can't do that."

Guests

Chris Bosh (Toronto Raptors)
   Toront is 5-5 so far. He called the past off season the most important of his career. Chris said he was inspired after the Olympics, but felt he came up short in the NBA season. He said, "I wanted to work as hard as possible because I felt I wasn't really reaching my maximum potential at the time...I want to keep it up. Consistency has been a weakness on mine." He talked of weight workouts and getting stronger. He plans to get into the paint more this year.
Chris will be a free agent after this season. In considering a team, he said he is looking to win. He wants to win a championship.

Leon Hall (Cincinnati Bengals)
   The Bengals are 7-2 and in first place in the AFC North. Leon has 4 interceptions. He said the game they just had with Pittsburgh was one of the most physical he's played in. Jim asked Leon about the team's turnaround from last year. Leon said it started with off season workouts in March. People were working hard and a trust and comraderie developed and grew.

Text Contest

"Unwar the tool that yells 'job opening' when they hear a dish break in the kitchen of a restaurant." Emilio Textavez...making my phone call debut tomorrow.
