Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Summary of today's Jim Rome Show

Jim opened saying,"The show may start slow but...it's going to start kicking ass real soon." He was resetting what J. Stew said before his karaoke song last weekend.

NFL

Ben Roethlisberger
Rome: "...Of course this guy's innocent until proven guilty. Innocent until proven guilty of a crime. But I've got no problem convicting him of stupidity right now...in the first degree...right here and right now. Although no charges have been filed, police are investigating whether or not he sexually assaulted a 20 year old college student in a small Georgia town...oh, and that he's still battling a civil suit from his first accuser...Exactly what was this guy thinking? Prowling the bars and trolling for college kids...allegedly...I'm not looking for this guy to split the atom, but that's stupid...and that's reckless...maybe he didn't do anything wrong...Maybe he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time...But if so, he put himself there. And that's on him. 100%.

NASCAR

Jim said, "...Speaking of wreckless and dangerous, and brain dead. How about Carl Edwards deliberately trying... and succeeding in wrecking Brad Keselowski's rig Saturday? ...Memo to NASCAR...Anytime you want to get around to suspending Edwards, that'd be great..."

Later in the show the news came out that NASCAR  was putting Edwards on probation for 3 races. Rome didn't think this was much of a punishment.

NBA

Jim Rome says Dallas may be the biggest threat to the Lakers in the West. "...All the sudden, if I'm the Lakers, that's who I'm concerned about...They've got so many weapons and so many ways to beat you...They're tougher now...They play harder now...It's all because of that trade...They got Caron Butler...Brendan Haywood..."

NFL

Detroit special teammer Zack Follett got into a cage with real lions to promote being on the Lions. 

Jim in Fall River

Jim got an E mail that read, "Hey Jim. I'm getting ready for the next Smack Off by getting into a cage with a donkey. Jim in Fall River."

Jim reset who the legendary caller was. He then told us that Jim in Fall River has been hitting him up on his (Rome's) personal Facebook page to make him a friend. Jim said he would if Jim in Fall River calls the show. It has been years since he has called.

Interview

Jay Wright (Villanova basketball)
   He came on and answered a question about how he felt about his team, "I feel better than most of our fans do..." He said it was tough to integrate his young big men with his returning backcourt players.
They also spoke of Scotty Reynolds. Jay acknowledged having had more athletic players in the past, but, "...Scotty just has had an incredible impact on our program." He told of Scotty's many clutch performances in big situations. Then, "I don't think there's a player that's had the impact that he's had..."

The Hack Off

Jim began to set the field. He also called it "The Eddie in Boise Invitational". Soon after, Eddie in Boise called in to RSVP. He said he would be there and be ready for the "Smack Off...I mean Hack Off."

The field so far:

-Eddie in Boise
-Aaron in Canton
-Jolene in Farmington
-Vinny Mac
-Parody Patrick
-Nezrin
-Corey in Buffalo

Late in the show, Jolene in Farminton called in to RSVP. She said, "You can not be asked to be on the Jim Rome Show and not accept. I accept...You end up on the Jim Rome Show, you're coming out someone's bowel movement. That's all I got to say."

Jim said, "I feel better about my selection than I did even before I invited you. You're in, Jolene...
