Jim Rome Clone Report

Today on the Show

Jim opened the show with ,"A tremendous Tuesday to you!"

First subject: Plaxico Burress. Excerps were played from an upcoming interview with Burress. In it he says he did not realize he had shot himself. He said something to the effect,"I felt my leg wet and saw something was on my Chuck Taylor shoes."
Jim's take: "How do you not know you're shot? Either you're really drunk or that's the hardest cat ever!"

E mailers and callers were on two sides. Most agreed with Jim. Some cited the tremendous noise of the gun used, others the recoil of the gun. Some, however, said it was possible to have so much adrenaline going that you don't know. Rome didn't buy it.

Michael Beasley, Miami Heat Foward, reportedly checked into rehab. Jim asked if it was for the "hippie lettuce" or depression.

Phillip Rivers signed a 6 year, $92 million contract with the Chargers. ($38 million guaranteed)

An E mailer asked Jim to not play the "J. Stew" song during the last segment of the show today. Jim had Alvin fire up the song and said,"How about in the first segment?" The song played in the backround for the rest of the segment.(4 minutes!)

A caller, Scott in Salt Lake, ended his call with,"War 'going me' to uh, lunch at Del Taco and asking for some 'hot sauce in my bag' ."       He took some heat for that misspeak.

Guests

John Smoltz (Cardinals pitcher) He spoke about his great start with the Cardinals, pressing and trying to prove too much in Boston, and his history with the Braves.

Antonio Gates (Chargers Tight End) He talked about Phillip Rivers, himself and LaDanian Tomlinson being healthier. After the interview, Jim hit the Fantasy Alert Alarm with each reset of a players health! Very funny.

Todd Haley (Kansas City Chiefs head coach) He said they were still in training camp mode. Also, he is putting a premium on competition at each position to make the team better.


Text Contest (J. Stew)

"Hey Rome, what's wrong with an NFL player sporting a minivan? Warm regards, Usain Bolt's Honda Civic.
War, 'I'm looking for Debbie'."
Jim said,"Pretty bad, Stew"

"Dear Vine in the box, You say that you need to recreate your identity. We've already done that for you, regards, you Wikipedia page"
