Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Summary of today's Jim Rome Show

In the first segment of the show, Jim covered the LA Lakers, and reset the "Hack Off" RSVP's from yesterday.

NBA

Lakers
Rome: "...Losing 3 in a row is no reason for the Lakers to panic. But, losing a 4th at home to Toronto may have been. And they needed another buzzer beater from the 'Black Mamba' and a soccer fan going soccer fan courtside in order to get that win...I'm still not jumping on that panic button, but I've moved a little closer to it..."

The "Hack Off"

After an E mail came in about Jolene, Jim reset yesterday's RSVP calls for the Hack Off. First Eddie in Boise said he would be there, then Jolene. Jim replayed her "bowel movement" comment. Then he said, "I don't know that anything in the event is going to top that." He mentioned others going as low as that. (Did he forget that he said the winner must really try to be good...and be the "best" call of the day, not the worst?)

Corey Haim

The former child actor passed away. E mailers wanted Jim to comment. He said, "...What do you think I'm going to say about that ...I'm not a ghoul...It's tragic. That's my take."

Interviews

Evan Turner (Ohio State)
   The Player of the Year candidate talk with Jim about his vertabra injury, his teams perseverence, and whether or not he will go to the NBA next year. Jim asked him if he, even privately, had decided on the NBA. "Honestly, I haven't...," Evan said.

Sean Payton (New Orleans Saints)
   Jim asked if winning it all was as he thought it would be. He replied, "...It is...It's hard to describe. Jim qualified the question, asking if it felt as good as Sean thought it would. "Yeah, there's no question..." Sean also expressed feeling good for the team and others involved.

Caller

"Vinny Mac" called in to RSVP for the Hack Off. He mention the "Vinny Mac Nation" and called out Eddie in Boise, telling him to take off his diaper and put it on his face.

Interview

Kurt Busch (NASCAR)
   Kurt was not happy with Carl Edwards actions over the weekend or the penalty handed out by NASCAR.
Kurt will cross over and drag race this weekend with there being no NASCAR race.
