Johnson vs Finnegan
The two NFLers who got into a fight Sunday got off without suspensions. They were each fined $25,000.
Rome said, "...They got off easy....What does it take to get suspended?..."
Derek Anderson
The Cardinals QB got upset in a press conference when questioned about why he was laughing on the sideline when they were down by 18 points to the 49ers.
Jim said he isn't coming down on Anderson for laughing. He said we don't know what was said and mentioned that it may have been after someone said something lighthearted in an attempt to raise Anderson's spirits. "...He wasn't on all fours having guys pushed over him." Of the press conference, however, Jim commented that it was an epic fail.
E mail: (paraphrased) "Dear Jim. Anderson was laughing at the ton of money he made off of one O.K. year in Cleveland."
Twtter comment: "@jimrome Derek Anderson needs to take a step back and respect the press regardless of their questions. Sincerely yours, Randy Johnson." -Charles Skaggs
Speaking of Randy Johnson....Here's my impression of the famous incident:
Derek Jeter
His contract talks are stalled with the Yankees. They are offering $15 million a year for three years. He's asking for more.
Jim said on Facebook: "Jeter already got paid for his legacy. Now he's just begging."
Caller
Chris in C-Town
Chris said they were excited for LeBron's return to C Town when the Heat plays the Cavaliers. He then said he was a Star Wars geek and went into a weird voice which he later said was an imitation of what Obi Wan said to Anakin. He went on with his call saying, "...karma, bitch..." to LeBron. Rome then asked him to repeat what Obi Wan said. When Chris went into his voice, the next thing we heard was, "AAAAAHHHHH!" The buzzer sounded. Jim set him up to illustrate they were looking for the "worst 'run' of the year" among other things for this years' year in review show. He added that the second day of the review would be an awards show!
