Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Comments, quotes, and moments from today's show

Urban Meyer

The Florida coach got upset with a reporter about his use of a comment by a Florida player regarding Tim Tebow and his successor at QB for Florida.

The audio and its backround noise was amusing.

NFL draftees and pot

Reportedly 1/3 of draftees looked at by one team had a marijuana history. What was funny to me was all the names Rome has for it: "Tree, Mary Jane, the Hippie lettuce, the 420 usage, herb, chron, and guange (if that's even how you spell it. I wouldn't know).

Jim ended with, "...Hey man. It's from the ground. It's natural." That was his imitation of those that want pot legalized. Then, "Burn wherever you want, hippies."

Charles Barkley 

Chuck said of Michael Jordan, "...I don't think you can't surround yourself with your friends, unless your friends have the guts or the onions to tell you when you're wrong."

That was the second use of the word "onions" in that context in a week. The first was by Jim.

Tiger Woods

 

He will reportedly be doing a press conference soon. Jim doubted Woods would really answer questions candidly. 

Jim did a bit where he asked questions and played tape of Tiger as answers. Most used phrases were "That's private"and "It's in the police report".

(Dear Jim, If you need someone to play Tiger...count me in. Sincerely, Greg

in Sun Valley.)

Andrew Bogut

It was a good interview with the Australian center for the Bucks. After, Jim said he thinks all Australians are cool. 

What I was thinking at the time was that all Australians are cool because they all sound like Steve Elkington.

Text Contest Selections

"War Tiger now surpassing us as the best Jungle interviews. Signed, Zo and that jockey." (Stuart Elliot, who gave Jim the "That's right" answer.)

"Hey Rome. Andrew Bogut is so right. Sarcasm can really get you into a lot of trouble. Regards, Mike Forbis"

"Dude, playing Boom Town Rats 2 hours early? You guys know you just scared the crap out of a bunch of clones. A lot of burger flippers thought they were late for work."

Triple U Sponsor: "Companies who take bums and dress them up as the Statue of Liberty, or a giraffe, or a slice of pizza and make them spin a sign on the street corner." Nick in Sac Town

Jim said, "You tried to sneak a bum reference in there, didn't you? You're BLOCKED!"

Actual Triple U: none (I think that was the first Triple U sponsor to get BLOCKED!)
