Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Summary of today's Jim Rome Show

It's Friday, so Jim asked for it...a "Quad Yeah!". (The clip was played.)

The Year in Review is coming!
Part 1 is Tuesday, Dec. 22. Part 2 is Wednesday, Dec. 23.
(These will be Jim's last two days on air this year.)


NFL
Colts vs. Jaguars
   Jim started, "You can not tell me the 1972 Dolphins weren't looking to party...That joint was rocking...Mojo (Maurice Jones-Drew) was bringing the lumber...It was all set up. It was right there. Of course that was until Indianapolis remembered they were Indianapolis and then they did what they do. They came back, again, late. They do it to everybody. You give Peyton Manning one more chance, he will still kill you...You ask their defense to make one more play, and it will...SOP, standard operating procedure for the 2009 Colts...They don't dominate...they just don't lose....Still not convinced they're the best team in the NFL."
Jim got on Jags free safety Reggie Nelson, "Reg. I know tackling is so 1990s and if you have to use your arms to bring a man down it's just punk, but bro..."

Alvin's bumper music
   The bumper music choices by the XR4ti continued. The 2nd segment came on with..."I love you. You love me...." Barney! "Sing it Mel," Jim said. Alvin came in studio which left Kyle Brandt to run the sound board. Alvin said, "Dude, dude. No, no!"  Explaining the music, Alvin said, "I wanted to pay tribute to a future family member of mine...with Barney." He told Jim his son is due in mid April. Alvin then got nervous and went with, "Dude, dude. No, no," again. Kyle dropped the sound byte "struggling" on him as well as "Uh oh!" and the manual buzzer. Alvin warred "Cory in Buffalo" on his way out.

J. Stew, the Jungle Phone Slap
An E mail request came in for the song parody by Jesus in Chicago. Jim played it. It is set to the tune of "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer". Many of J. Stews lines over the years play as Jesus sings the tune. Jim said that it is Jesus' best Jungle parody.

Tiger Woods
   Rome told us that Tiger has been on the cover of the NY Post 20 straight days. That is a new record. It broke the old record set by 9/11!
Jim also told us he disagreed with the PGA commissioner who said that the scandal will not have that big of an impact on golf.

Interviews

Sheldon Brown (Philadelphia Eagles)
   He has never missed a game in his career. That's 130 straight games. Jim asked how he managed to never be out hurt. Sheldon said, "...mind over matter. I have a mentality where you gotta carry me off the football field...I'm not going to miss a Sunday if I can go." He recently played with a torn hamstring. Jim asked him what put him on the field that day. Sheldon replied, "Obviously a higher being and then, like I said, you just have to psych yourself up sometimes to fight through some pain. That's what I did." He also gave credit to "the guys up front" who stepped it up knowing of his injury.

Kelly Pavlik (Middleweight Boxing Champion)
   Jim started, "You've been to hell and back. What's this year been like?"
Kelly went on to tell about the staph infection he got in his left hand. He had to have surgery to clean out all the infection. When he got the stitches out, his finger hadn't healed. Kelly was put on a stronger antibiotic and near the end of the course got a bad reaction. He was put in the hospital. It was a long, frustrating summer. Jim asked if he should be fighting this Saturday. They had planned to wait until January or February to fight but the WBO and WBC threatened to strip him of his title if he didn't defend the title Saturday. Kelly feels he got good work in and is ready.


Curtis Grenderson (New York Yankees)
   He was just traded to the Yankees from Detroit. He says it has finally sunk in that he is a Yankee. He realizes he has big shoes to fill in being a Yankee center fielder. Curtis expressed  he would be open to learn and absorb insight from his new teammates.

Caller

Mike in Indy, 2009 Smack Off runner up called. He cracked on Tiger Woods and on caller Joe in Hollywood. Mike had some music in the backround and went "smooth". He even did his sign off in a mellow tone, "I do declare. I do declare. Now I'm done. Rack me."
