Jim Rome Clone Report

Clones, Comments, and Moments from Today's Show


Jim Rome is Back

Early E mails on the subject

"Has the guy that hit you with 'Who's the new guy' got fired yet?"   Bob

"Muskets and old trucks
Back to civilization
And running water"...J.P. in LA

LeBron Reset

The LeBron saga culminated when Jim was on vacation. Jim expressed that he didn't think LeBron would go to another "Alpha Dog's" team. He talked about Larry Bird and Magic Johnson wanting to beat each other, not join each other. Still, Rome acknowledged James' right to make such a decision as a free agent.   Jim did question the way LeBron went on TV to rip Cleveland's heart out. "There's no way you do that town like that..."

On whether or not that was LeBron's intent, Rome surmised, "...I don't think he 'got it'." 

Callers on LeBron

Joe in Akron
   He told Jim he had been a big LeBron fan, but now he hates him as much as Art Modell.

Vince in C-Town
   Vince felt that LeBron put the Cavaliers back 5 years, didn't try to get players to come to Cleveland, and shouldn't have taken to the airwaves as he did.

End of First Hour

At the end of the first hour, Jim said, "I have done an hour. Aren't I due for a vacation?"

Dave in St Louis E mail

Dave tried another approach to get Rome to play the Larry Brown call. It didn't work. Rome said, "I will bring back the rat family before I play that call...and I'm not doing that....True, I did it in the past...It's not funny anymore...even if there are humans that resemble rats."

Jim and Janet Rome's Wedding Anniversary

Jim told us that 13 years ago, today, was the best day of his life. "Happy Anniversary, Janet!," he said.

Pacquaio vs Mayweather

Plans for the boxing match fell through again. Rome thinks the fight will probably come off next year. 

E mail on the subject: "Mayweather/Pacquaio will happen...in 2015, when they're both old and nobody cares. Signed, Boxing."

Inflatable Sky Pillows

I missed how this came up. The pillows are advertised in the Sky Mall magazines, but has anyone seen a person using one on a plane? Jim said the new "bounty" as far as pictures go, is to get a snapshot of someone using one on a plane.

E mail: "I don't need some stupid pillow to relax on a plane. Signed, the guy next to you with his shoes off." Tony in Albuquerque..."War Mike in Chicago making an exception and using a 7 wood on Dave in St. Louis."

Text Contest Selections

"War Rome doing 2 weeks of 6 hour shows to make up for lost time."

"Can you stop referring to LeBron James as 'LeBron James'. Call him '6'. Signed, '45'."

Triple U: 

"Spain yes, Tiger no
 LeBron, Cleveland BOHICA
 The Boss is buried"

Result: Jim said, "You're BLOCKED!"
