Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Clones, Comments, and Moments from Today's Show

NBA

Jim started with comments on Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets. Jim is not buying that Paul is now content after his meeting with the Hornets front office. He is of the opinion that management knows that it will be easier to trade Chris Paul if he is saying the right things and not viewed by other teams as disgruntled. 

Wade Phillips on Dez Bryant

The Cowboy coach was quoted as saying, "It's a non-issue. Not a problem with either of them or our football team...we don't haze. That's it." Rome responded, "AAAHHH!.....You do haze... A rook telling a vet to carry his own bags is an issue.....You know there will be some sort of locker room justice: someone will order the code red!"

E mails on the subject: (paraphrased) "Dear Jim. Wade Phillips explanation sounds plausible to me. Signed, JaVon Walker." Brian in Syracuse

(paraphrased) "Hey Dez. Whaaaah!..." Dave in St. Louis

"War punching Dez Bryant's mentor Deon Sanders in the face."

How "Playa" is that?

Delonte West was traded from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Minnesota Timberwolves. 

Jim reset a lot of Delonte's quotes and his famous "correspondents piece" for Jim's TV show, "Jim Rome is Burning".

Callers

Michael in H-Town

   He called the Delonte clip "timeless". After that, he hit on the Dez Bryant issue. "...Dez pealed offf the star and replaced it with a bulls eye," he said. 

Mike in New Orleans

   He talked about Chris Paul. Mike said Chris is every bit the good guy he is portrayed as. Mike says he can understand what Chris if feeling, but he doesn't want him to leave New Orleans.

Antoine in...(Los Angeles, I think)

   He called Dez Bryant an idiot.

The new "Softball Guy"

It was USA vs Canada over the weekend. Rome was impressed with the USA's Rusty Bumgardner...all 6'6" and 285 pounds of him! Rome wondered why Rusty isn't batting clean up for the Mets.

Jim played the sound clip of Rusty hitting a home run in the game. Someone yells "Whooo!" It sounded like Brett Favre's yell after his "Pants on the Ground" singing. Canada won due to a crazy rule that after your team hits ten home runs, any further home runs count as an out. Rome said, "...Canada, give that game back."

E mails on the subject: (paraphrased) "Rome. Wait a minute. I think softball guy told Percy he would hit it over the scoreboard....Can you play it back." Joe in the Valley. (They put the clips together and played it!)

"Did you say Bumgardner went 6'6", 280? Pssssst. Please. Signed, Gruce." Jordan in Madison

"How do you even ponder pitching to Rusty?"

Jim said that Rusty is an ultimate male and a great American.

Text Contest Selections

"Unwar anybody watching or participating in Civil War Re-enactments." Pat in Bellingham.

"Dear Dez. Pick up the pads, puss. Signed, The Unit."

Triple U Sponsor: "Plastic spinner hubcaps."

Triple U: "War bums hazing new bums by making them carry their coin cup."
