Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Friday Format

(The Friday Format includes a very brief description of today's show, an interview of the week, my top 5 funniest moments on the show this week, and Friday's text contest.


Today's show

Jim opened with his take on Tiger Woods possibly waiting until the Masters to make his return. We also heard more about Alvin's cell phone ringtone being the sound of his dog barking. Near the end of the show, Nezrin made a less than stellar call to accept her Hack Off invitation.

Interview of the Week

My pick for interview of the week is Matt Barnes. This interview was an example of Jim Rome bringing another angle to an athlete that we don't always hear about.  Recent LA reports painted Matt Barnes as a trash talking rough player in a feud with Lamar Odom. In this interview, Matt expressed regret about what he "tweeted" about Lamar, and we learned that Matt's mom died of cancer and Matt has a charitable foundation dedicated to fighting cancer.

Top 5 Funniest Moments of the Week

My top 5 are:

5. Eddie in Boise's RSVP call for the Hack Off.                                              
    He said, "...I'm ready for the Sma...Oh Hack Off..."

4. "The Donald" reset
    The tape was played of Donald Trump's tirade on Rosie O'Donnell.

3. J. Stew's karaoke singing.
    Strange version of "Better Man."

2. Jim's reaction to J. Stew's singing.
    Rome: "...was that J. Stew with some sort of 'goat thing'..."

1. Jim in Fall River reset
    Rome played the old "donkey" call from years back. The funny thing is not
    the donkey sound in the backround. It's Jim in Fall River's voice, his
    cadence, and his intensity.


Friday's Text Contest

No text contest this Friday!
