Format Change

Funny Moment in the Opening

Jim mentioned Kentucky's basketball team hitting a late shot to put the conference championship game into overtime with a player celebrating, thinking the shot was for the win. Rome: "...Yeah! We're going into OT!" Then Alvin hit the Mark Madsen sound byte, "YEAH!"

 Paquaio vs Clottey

Sure Pacquaio won convincingly, but the fun part was Jim Lampley's round 8 use of the word "BANG" over and over, "Bang, bang,...bang, bang,bang." He was of course describing Pacquaio's punches. Jim Rome said, "Bang, bang, bang, ...you're dead!...I was hoing for one 'Zap' or 'Blamo!'." He then inserted the old Batman TV show theme with Lampley's "BANG, BANG, BANG" playing along.

Hack Off RSVP

Today's Hack Off RSVP came from Aaron in Canton. He said in part, "What is up Rome...dude, I'm in...J. Stew has advised me to go with a parody." Rome said, "I think it's a good play for you. I think you have to play to your strengths." Aaron replied, "Giddy up!" And that was it! End of call. Jim thought that response was funny.

Agassi vs Sampras

Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi got into it verbally during a televised charity match inwhich they were wearing mics!
Rome said, "...Talk about awkward...that was hall of fame-esque in terms of how awkward, and how uncomfortable, and how surreal, and how bizarre that was...and how juvenile...it was just awesome!"

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Jim gave Alvin credit for putting together Jim Lampley's "BANG, BANG's" with the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang movie song.

Text Contest Selections

"War my girlfriend now calling it 'wrestling' and wrestling with her socks on." Luke in Beaverton.

Triple U sponsor: "All those same tired stories about how much productivity is lost during March Madness." Frank in the 619

Actual Triple U: (Jim then said, "I'm not going to be reading that E mail from Shawn Kemp. You're BLOCKED!"

"Hey Rome. We're glad we don't need to fake reasons to miss work to watch...(the sound then goes out on Rome's streamlink for a few seconds) ...then "small town Tom in Indiana, you're BLOCKED!...Bang, you're BLOCKED!"

Late text..."Hey Jim. Sampras should have hit andre with a 'bald teenager' blast. That would have been awesome!" Mike in Jacksonville.
