Summary of Today's Jim Rome Show
Jim started off the show talking about Delonte West again. Rome said as soon as Delonte was arrested he was getting messages on his personal E mail. Jim said he felt like he was the one who had done the deed.(carrying 3 guns). People knew how much Jim pumped up Delonte and really liked him. Rome repeated his stance on athletes carrying guns, "If you're going some place where you think you need a gun, then you shouldn't be going there at all."
Jim then re-emphasized the fact that Delonte West has battled mood disorders for years. Delonte had apparently not been on his medication and has recently missed 2 practices with the Cavaliers. Jim made known his concern for Delonte West, the individual. Jim said, "This is bad. It just sounds like he's fighting a losing battle."
DeShawn Stevenson
The Wizards player showed up to media day with an Abe Lincoln tattoo on his neck. Speaking as if he were DeShawn, Jim said,"You know it. You know I rep #16. I'm all about 16. (the 16th President)
Guests
Antoine Winfield (Minnesots Vikings)
He said he has never been a part of a comeback like their win over the 49ers last Sunday. He said the Vikings have confidence in Brett Favre. Rome brought up that Antoine is 5'8" and 180 pounds, yet is one of the best tacklers. He then asked Antoine if his success is due to technique or mindset and mentality. Antoine said it is due to both.
Larry Foote (Detroit Lions)
He came to the Lions after winning a Superbowl with the Steelers. Larry is from Detroit and feels the move was good for him. Jim discussed with him the Lions first win since the 07 season.
The interview moved to Larry's college team, the Michigan Wolverines next game against Michigan State. Jim asked if that was a rivalry game and Larry said no, and that their rivalry game was against Ohio State.
Kevin Sumlin (University of Houston football coach)
The team is 3-0 and coming off a win over Texas Tech and are ranked #12 by the AP. The school is so happy that students are showing up and cheering at weightlifting sessions.
Jim brought up the story that Kevin hired his former coach from Purdue as one of his assistants.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Right out of the box, Rome said it had been a while and asked for a "Quad Yeah". (And the sound bite was played.) He then said it was "awesome to be back".
Cowboy's over Panthers
Jim's take was that is was not a big win, but a must win. With the Cowboy's new stadium, Jim said it's hard to charge $100 for a pie(pizza) and a beer when the home team is losing. Further, he said it was apparent theat Tony Romo was trying to not make mistakes and..."what would they do without their running backs?"
Washington Redskins
Rome said, "The Redskins are a disaster."
An E mail on the subject: "Hey Romesky, 'Hip hip, now I'm done', yours, the coach that lost to an 0-19
team."
Delonte West
Jim brought up the story of Delonte West being pulled over and letting the cop know he had a gun in his waistband. That's not all. He also had a 357 Magnum strapped to his leg and a shotgun in a guitar case. Jim had glossed Delonte "the king of the correspondent piece". (A segment on Jim's TV show, Rome is Burning, where an athlete acts as a reporter for Jim.)
Holding Delonte accountable for this behavior, Jim stripped Delonte of the title. Rome also asked, "Haven't you seen what happened to Plaxico Burress?"
E mail on the subject: "Weapons in my bag, weapons in my bag, extra, signed D. West."
Terrell Owens
Jim says "Mount T.O. is abut to erupt. The Bills lost again and T.O.'s streak of consecutive games with a reception (185) was snapped. In addition, Rodney Harrison called him "a clown" on NBC. Owens fired back on Twitter, "I coud care less about Rodney Harrison. Anybody that's using steriods, yes Steroid Rodney, is a cheater..."
Guests
Josh McDaniels (Denver Broncos head coach)
He is happy to be 3-0. Rome pressed him about being vindicated by the 3-0 start, but Josh wouldn't agree to put it in those terms. He did admit that wins are a positive reinforcement to what they are presenting as a coaching staff. Coach McDaniels is a subscriber to Jim Rome's streamlink. Jim asked him to bring up favorite Jungle moments. He mentioned an old call from Shawn Marion that didn't go too well and Steve Elkington's "seeing cat" comment.
Al Leiter (Former NY Met and NY Yankee)
Al started with, "... I had to retire after all this time to talk to you." Rome brought up him being on the Mets right after 9/11. Al said, " For months is was a somber feeling." Shea Stadium was a staging area for the the Fire Dept.and Al said they would help load supplies,then go play a game. Of Mike Piazza, Leiter said he was a good leader by example and stature.
Patrick Willis (SF 49ers)
They talked about the last second loss to the Vikings. Patrick said that loss hurt. Jim asked him about Coach Mike Singletary's reaction. Patrick said Singletary was supportive of how they played, agreed the loss was tough, but continues to stress "finishing" and playing 60 minutes of football. Asked about his early success ( 2 Pro Bowls) Patrick said he is thankful of his situation and gave credit to his teammates.
After the interview, Rome called Willis "A modest, humble young stud".

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Video
A parody video with only Rome in it in honor of his return tomorrow.
Today on the Show
Matt " Money" Smith and Petros Papadakis guest hosted the show today. They are from LA and host a syndicated radio show on Fox Sports Radio.
They started off poking a little fun at Jim Rome. Matt said "fancy" people take off a week and a day for vacation. Petros replied,"You think Bill O'Reilly takes just a week? NO." Matt went on, "Big time dudes do Monday to recover..."
They talked a lot of football on the show. They said they like to think of it as their specialty. (Petros is a former USC tailback and does color commentary on Pac 10 football games on Fox Sports. Matt has called football games on the radio.)
In the first segment the guys talked about retro jerseys. Matt said retro jerseys were made just to be able to sell more jerseys.
The Raiders
JaMarcus Russell was brought up. He has been very inconsistent for the Raiders after being a #1 overall pick and a contract hold out. Matt said 1 bowl game put him in position for a big contract. Petros said Russell may be the biggest bust in the NFL.
Troy Palumalu
Petros let us know that he took Troy to his first concert.
Guests
Spencer Tillman (CBS Sports)
Spencer came on to talk college football. The interview started with Tim Tebow's injury. He took a shot to the back of the head on Saturday and, according to Spencer, was out cold for 45 seconds. Florida does have a bye week coming, but Spencer feels that Tebow could be affected by that injury for several weeks. Asked about how he sees the SEC, Tillman said ,"I think it's Alabama, then everyone else, especially with Tebow's injury. Of USC, Tillman said their "intellectual property" was lost with last years offensive coordinator, Steve Sarkissian, leaving to become the head coach of the Washington Huskies.
Brian Baldinger(Fox Sports, NFL network)
Petros asked him about Brett Favre. Brian said he thought Favre's last second TD pass for the win on Sunday should be in Favre's top ten plays in his resume. On Michael Vick, Brian said he still had not seen enough of Vick to be able to tell if he still has the arm strength or the explosive running capability.
Further, Brian agreed with the guys assessment of JaMarcus Russell. Baldinger, however, does like how Mark Sanchez of the Jets has played so far.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
The Sklar Brothers guest host the show.
Here is a video I made a while back about the Sklars
Today the Sklar brothers, Randy and Jason, started with a take on Evander Holyfield. They said he "vowed to punch Global Warming in the face". They joked that Evander had positioned it that anyone who fights him is against the environment. Then much was made about a Taco Bell commercial that Holyfield is in.
Jay Mohr, who guest hosted on Wednesday, called in to tell the Sklars he appreciates their comedy and prefers them to the other guest hosts that have been on this week.
The guys referenced the "Sklones" , "A subset of the clones" that are big on the Sklars.
Jeff Feagles
What started as just a mention of Jeff Feagles (NFL punter) name became a topic/joke. First they said he is old and that he voted for John McCain because he identifies with him. Then came the rhymes. Boston Legal should have been "Boston Feagle". They said he should open a bar and call it "The Feagle Beagle", A retro bar where you can bring your dog. Next, "Legal Feagle", a personal injury law practice where you can "Kick your troubles to the curb".
This thread came up a few more times in the show.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of Today's Jim Rome Show
Tony Rizzo guest hosted the show today. He hosts a show on the Cleveland affiliate, WKNR, that comes on before The Jungle. Tony has two sidekicks, Aaron and Josh. In the open Tony made a point to tell the audience that he is not a "newbie". He knows the show and specifically requested Jungle "legends" to call in today.
J. Stew's appearance on last night's season premiere of "Gary Unmarried" on CBS came up quickly. The guys liked J. Stew's performance and congratulated him on it. J.Stew came on air to discuss it. Jason gave many props and thanks to everyone on the set and show. Soon we began to hear about the "spread" or the food for the cast and crew. Jason loved it. Texts and E mails came in regarding the job the make up artists for the show did to disguise J.Stew's moles, as well J. Stew's size.
Also, J.Stew complimented Tony, Aaron, and Josh for having "energy".
Other Topics:
Michael Crabtree still unsigned by the 49ers. Rizzo said he thinks Crabtree is making a bad decision.
Lebron James. Tony said he was on a whirlwind tour. He was surprised by Lebron's appearance on "The View". During that discussion a sound effect of the "original buzzer" followed by a game show audience sad "OOhhh" exhalation. This sound effect began to show up repeatedly throughout the show. So much so that an E mail came in saying it was being overused.
Lamar Odom is having a bachelor party.
A Russian "Nickel Baron" billionaire is buying the New Jersey Nets.
The PGA's tour championship is confusing and complicated according to Rizzo. He said people remember Majors' winners.
Guests
Chris Rose (Fox Sports)
After hearing the guys discuss Broadway plays earlier, Chris came on saying he and his wife walked out of "Cats" it was so bad. When asked about the Browns', Chris said, "Has the season started?" They then all debated whether the Browns owner was a good owner or not. Chris went on to say that if coach Mangini doesn't have success in a few years the owner should sell the team if he cares about the fan base and the city of Cleveland.
Bernie Kosar (Former Browns QB)
Bernie started off saying he was one of the Cleveland clones waiting for Jim when Jim went to Cleveland
recently. He was quickly asked about the University of Miami football teams great start this year. Bernie cited Jacory Harris' recent stats of throwing 5 TD's to 5 different receivers. Kosar called Harris the leader of the team.Asked about the BCS, Kosar said he would prefer to see a playoff to determine a National Champion. Of the Cleveland Browns, Kosar said they don't appear to have any big playmakers.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Jay Mohr guest hosted the show today as Jim's vacation continues.
The show started with long intro music...then a few clips of old takes from Jay. (The first one had Jay cracking on the city of Cleveland.) Then "Alvin's Mix" was played. Finally, we hear a live voice...but it's not Jay, it's Kyle Brandt saying, "If anyone has seen the Slam Man, tell him that we're looking for him." J. Stew joins Kyle on air and informs the audience that Jay Mohr is stuck in traffic, but will be here soon. A few E mails were read followed by a break.
Jay made it after the break. He told us about the traffic and hearing himself (the old clips) and "Alvin's Mix" while enroute. Jay started by telling us he had dropped some lb's and is no longer considered "FAT".
Several calls were taken today and at least 3 brought on the return of the original buzzer as they got run.
Jay had some football takes regarding FAT coaches and a FAT player, Andre Smith of the Cincinnati Bengals.
Subjects/Questions that spanned the show.
Would you rather be a World Series MVP and not be in the Hall of Fame or in the Hall of Fame without having gone to the World Series?
The South African Runner with dual gender identification.
Tom Cruise's love life
MMA (Jay also took several calls about mixed martial arts.)

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Bickley and MJ from Phoenix guest hosted the show today. Dan Bickley is a sports columnist for the Arizonia Republic, a radio host, and an author. Mike Jurecki is an NFL insider who covers the Arizona Cardinals and a radio host.
The guys said they like talking football, and they did a lot of that.
First topic was the NY Jets. They called the Jets "the talk of the NFL." Coach Rex Ryan was, of course, discussed. They talked about his brash confidence and his emphasis on tough and tenacious defense and the similar outlook of his father, Buddy Ryan. The guys also brought up Mark Sanchez. They referenced his preseason photo shoot, inferring he is a little flashy like former NY Jets QB, Joe Namath. The Jets win over the Patriots on Sunday was talked about and the guys said that Mark Sanchez out played Tom Brady.
Further football subjects:
Arizona Cardinal's WR Larry Fitzgrald's brother Twittering comments about QB Kurt Warner and saying his brothrer (Larry) was unhappy about how many touches he has been getting.
The direction certain teams may be headed after 2 games.
Guests
Kurt Warner (Arizona Cardinals QB)
Bickley and MJ brought up Kurts's 24 of 26 record setting passing performance last game. Kurt down played the performance some, saying a lot of things came together and many other QB's would have been able to make those same passes. The questions about Kurt's age came up. Kurt said, "I'm AM old!" He was good natured about it. The Fitzgerald's brother Tweeting issue was addressed. Kurt said he's love to get the ball to his top two receivers on every time, but wouldn't force the ball into double coverages just to make that happen. Kurt mentioned teams keying on Larry and the need to do what is necessary to win.
Frank Caliendo (Comedian and impressionist)
(Commentary) : This interview had yours truly captivated. Many know of Frank's most famous impression, John Madden. That, of courst, is great. He also did George W. Bush, Charles Barkely, Al Pacino, Shaq, Dr. Phil, and Robin Williams on the show today. However, he did 2 segments of the show as...Jim Rome.(Intermingled with the other impressions.) He came on as Jim, asking Bickley and MJ what they were doing and jabbing them a little. He basically ran the 2 segments as Jim Rome. It was hilarious! I did not think I would laugh this much when Jim was on vacation. Frank knew of faxes being old school. He read ficticious E mails and read off the "names" of those that "sent" them in. It appears he either studies or likes the show.
Charles Barkley
Charles came on saying he loves this time of year. He said he loves football and boxing. He said he played football only 1 day. They put him on the defensive line and it wasn't fun. If you know Charles you know he said this in a very funny way. At the recent Basketball Hall of Fame induction Charles inducted Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan. Barkley said he was shocked when Jerry asked him to do the honors. Charles said sincerely that it was on of the highlights of his life. Regarding Michael Jordan's speech, Barkley said that it didn't seem too controversial being there to hear it. He said he went back later and watched a tape and could then understand how some people could be upset. He did call Michael "the most competitive person he's ever met". Later in the interview, Charles rated the top 5 NBA teams as the Lakers, the Spurs, the Celtics, the Cavaliers, and the Magic. At the end, he talked some boxing.

It appears he either studies or likes the show.
Charles Barkley
Charles came on saying he loves this time of year. He said he loves football and boxing. He said he played football only 1 day. They put him on the defensive line and it wasn't fun. If you know Charles you know he said this in a very funny way. At the recent Basketball Hall of Fame induction Charles inducted Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan. Barkley said he was shocked when Jerry asked him to do the honors. Charles said sincerely that it was on of the highlights of his life. Regarding Michael Jordan's speech, Barkley said that it didn't seem too controversial being there to hear it. He said he went back later and watched a tape and could then understand how some people could be upset. He did call Michael "the most competitive person he's ever met". Later in the interview, Charles rated the top 5 NBA teams as the Lakers, the Spurs, the Celtics, the Cavaliers, and the Magic. At the end, he talked some boxing.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
John Feinstein guest hosted the show today while Jim is on vacation.
John said it has been a long time since he has hosted the show. The last time he was scheduled he had to have heart bypass surgery. He is doing much better now.
Topics,
USC's loss to Washington
Though USC has recently made a habit to losing early in the season to a conference opponent, John was surprised that it was Washington this year. The Huskies were winless last year.
The NFL
John sees panic setting in for certain teams that are 0-2 after week two. He said, "They're panicked , I guarantee you, in Carolina...They're panicked in Tennessee...They're panicked in Jacksonville." These are teams that were good last year and were thought to be good this year. (They may yet turn out to be.) Feinstein later said that a loss in the NFL is like a 10 game losing streak in baseball since there are only 16 games in the regular season.
Michael Jordan
John weighed in with his opinion on the Michael Jordan Hall of Fame speech. John felt the speech was "graceless". He stated he doesn't feel Jordan is a bad guy, but rather an unhappy guy. (During this take another shows audio started to come across the Jungle airwaves. I assume that back in LA the first thought was to hit "The Mix" button because "The Mix" began to play a second or two later. It did not get as far as the part where John Feinstein is heard yelling at his daughter, "Bridgette, Bridgette!" before the correct audio was restored.)
Guests
Tom Watson (Legendary Golfer)
Tom recalled the 1993 Ryder Cup USA win. John asked him about the Open this year and nearly winning at 59 years old. They concluded by talking about ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). Tom's caddy was stricken with ALS and died in 2004. Tom has a tournament to raise money for ALS research.
Joe Buck (FOX Sports)
John called Joe the best play by play man in the business. They reminsced about their dads. John asked Joe about his upcoming 2nd edition of his periodic show, Joe Buck Live. Joe said, "You mean the Artie Lange Show?" Joe was humorous about the 1st edition of the show a few months back.
Richard Justice (Houston Chronicle)
When asked, Richard said he would vote for Mark Teixeira for AL MVP at this point. They eventually got into Houston sports. The Texans: Richard felt they didn't show up in week 1 against the Jets, but were determined in their win against the Titans. The Rockets: Yao comes in everday with his foot in a cast but does his rehab and takes shots from a chair. There is only a 5% chance he may play this season. The number rises to 55% for next year. Tracy McGrady has worked hard but seems to favor his knee still. Justice said the ideal scenario was a mid season aquisition of Chris Bosh.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
This is the last show before Jim goes on vacation for a week and a day.
Kyle Brandt is out, so J. Stew is multi-tasking.
Miami vs Georgia Tech
The "U" hammered Georgia Tech. Jim said they "owned" them. Also, "I'm not ready to say the "U" is officially back. But they're on their way ...and in a hurry." (Jim replayed the tape of the commentator..."You come into our house, you should get your behind kicked.")
Jim reset 80 year old Joan's call from yesterday.
E Mail
Vic in NoCal sent an e mail that was unflattering and unwelcoming to Joan calling into the Jungle. Amongst other things, he said she was a "kook" and "senile", and a horrible caller.
Jim was not happy, to say the least. He said,"Victor, I am this close to banning you for life for that. That is such a bad play, Victor....it's classless and mean spirited."
Guests
Santonio Holmes (Pittsburgh Steelers WR)
He said the match up with the Titans was very physical. Asked about Jerome Bettis' criticism fo the Steelers run game, Holmes was direct. He said Bettis is not a part of the 2009 Steelers and doesn't know all they do or work on. "Who cares what someone from the outside said." Rome also asked him about his early-set goal to make the NFL hall of Fame. Santonio said you can't always control what happens each season, but he feels he has control of his whole career.
DeSean Jackson (Philadelphia Eagles" WR)
He had a punt return for a TD against Carolina. He feels the Eagles have good leadership, especially in Donovan McNabb. He spoke of surprise when McNabb told him the Michael Vick was on the team. Jim also discussed the wildcat offense and DeSean taking direct snaps frome center.
Carl Peterson (USA Fotball)
Carl is the former president and CEO of the Kansas City Chiefs. He talked about missing being in the NFL. Other topics included Rex Ryan, Joe Montana, and Brett Favre. USA Football focuses on development of youth football. For more information go to usafootball.com.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of Today's Jim Rome Show
Jim is fired up abut the NY Jets vs NE Patriots game this weekend. He reset Jets coach Rex Ryan's voicemail to his season ticket holders. Jim said, "Such a good play by Rex." Tom Brady weighed in on the noise the Jets are making about the game. He said, "Talk is cheap." Rome said that's the equivalent of, "Bring it on, bleeper bleeper" from Tom Brady. Also Jim said that no other teams have taken on the personality of their coaches like the Jets and the Patriots.
Chad Ochocinco
He says that he is going to do the "Lambo Leap" when he scores in Green Bay next game. Jim said, "One guy vs a beered up mob....wear your helmet."
Jacksonville Jaguars and Tim Tebow
Rome comment on Jacksonville taking Tebow in the draft,"...sure...if Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy have already been taken."
Jim plays the song "Loser" during an "Entitlement Eric" E mail.
Caller
80 year old Joan in Visalia called in. She was very glad to be on and was fiesty! She said Jim makes so much sense, while politicians like "that jackass Governor we have, that Schwarzenegger...don't have common sense." She said she was having heart surgery tomorrow. She's a Sam Bradford fan. The Dodgers are her baseball team. Her family knew Leo Durocher. She added, "I remember the whole damn family!" Jim asked her to have someone call to let him know how the surgery went.
100's and 100's of E mails came in about Joan according to Jim. 95% positive and classy.
One that wasn't, "Hey Jim, I'm an 80 year old lady. Can I call? Yours, Bruce Jenner." Blaze in KC.
Jim responded,"Stay classy, Blaze."
A more representative positive one,"...I would like to contrast that by welcoming takes from the elderly as a change of pace. Good luck with your surgery tomorrow, Joan." Eric in Grand Rapids "War the Voice Box."
A caller, Kevin in LA said he had never called but was so moved by Joan that he had to call. He said, "You're what the Jungle is about."
Guests
Roy Williams (Dallas Cowboys WR)
Rome asked, "What's it like being around there without a bunch of noise and problems?" Roy answered, "It's good, but they're still trying to stir it up down here." Roy said last year he didn't talk to Tony Romo except for a little football stuff, saying, "I just didn't want to make things worse." Asked about the new stadium, he said he loves it. He called it "the best stadium in the world."
Dana White (UFC President)
Jim first asked him how he felt about Rampage Jackson pulling out of his match with Rashad Evans to star in the movie,"The A-Team". Dana said, I'm not too excited about it. He and I are not on talking terms right now." White let us know the Jackson left millions of dollars on the table when he pulled out. Rome brought up Chuck Liddell going on "Dancing With the Stars". Also, Kimbo Slice was brought up. He took Dana White up on his challenge that the only way he would get in the UFC was to go on their reality show, "The Ultimate Fighter". White respected that Kimbo did that, but wouldn't tell us how he did on the show, saying, "You'll have to watch."
Junior Seau (Former Chargers and Patriots LB)
He's not in the NFL and is content and enjoying his time away. He said, however, "If the need help, the Pat's, if they need help and they want to call me, I'm open to that...but not sitting here waiting for a call."
Junior has a TV show, "Sports jobs with Junior Seau". He's been a bat boy, a MMA cut man, and a caddie.
Text Contest
"War Joan as the next replacement host when Rome heads to the basement. War KB rocking David Wright's large batting helmet while riding his Vespa." Matt in the 303
"Unwar anybody who speaks ill of Joan, but war them getting BLOCKED quecker than " bum smack". Cody in SLO
"Hi James. Did Junior Seau just say he was a gym freak? I'm a Jim freak too, signed Marty." Matt in Manhattan Beach
Triple U sponsor: "The guy at the bowling alley that says 'it's good' and throws his arms up when he misses inside a split." Jordan in Liccoln
Actual Triple U: "Dear Chad, try that leap in Lambo this weekend, and you can change your name to OUCHocinco." Gary in Madison
Response: No warning, no BLOCK.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Today on the Jim Rome Radio Show aka "The Jungle"
Jim started off by saying it would be an open phone first hour, followed by a "Nooooooo!"(Some calls of late have been subpar.) He reminded the callers to know what they are going to say when J. Stew answers the phone.
Buffalo Bills fans
Rome said that the Buffalo Bills fans are some of the best. However,"One moron has made them look like some of the worst. Some knucklehead reportedly vandalized Leodis McKelven's lawn after he put it on the ground (fumbled) against the Patriots Monday night." Jim further called the vandal an idiot and said that the act was a violation of the "man code" and was a reason to "go".
Yankees/Blue Jays
A benches clearing brawl took place at their game last night. Rome said it "was a good fight, a legitimate basebrawl."
E Mail
"Hey Rome, during that Yankee vs Jays fight last night, I was about to take the elevator down to get myself some of that, Signed, Suzyn Waldman." (Waldman's famous clip was played as well as the one where the commentator wanted to go down and be a part of a fight the Miami Hurricanes football team had.)
Jim Tressel
He has been getting some heat from fans and bloggers since the lost to USC. Jim Rome thinks he doesn't deserve it. Rome commented that he may have had too much success too soon." He had a National Championship his 2nd year, which raised expectations greatly." Jim further said that it now appears that winning 10 games a year and beating Michigan is no longer enough.
Lane Kiffin
Lane is no longer calling out Urban Meyer. Now he is complimenting Florida's team. Jim thinks Lane is trying "to not make things worse than it's already going to be" right before the game.
Rex Ryan
Jets coach sent out a voicemail to his season ticket holders (as well as the Jim Rome Show). In it he says they need the fans this week against the Patriots. Rome "played" it at first as though a season ticket holder would think it was a personal voicemail left just for them. Then Jim imitated Bill Belichick making such a voicemail message.
Caller
A guy named Greg (in Sun Valley) called in.
Caller
Bodie in Pearland called in. He said he tried to get through yesterday since he says his nickname was given
to him after the character in Patrick Swayze's movie, Point Break.
Guests
Jeff Gordon (NASCAR #24)
Six years into "The Chase", he is a supporter of the format, calling it "our version of the playoffs." He also said going into the year he was not only looking for a fast car, but one that worked well on 1.5 mile tracks. After the interview, Jim mentioned the NASCAR disclaimer which is a compilation of sound bites that has Jim mentioning what good guys the NASCAR drivers are.
Ronnie Brown (Miami Dolphins RB)
Asked about the offensive line after a week one loss, Ronnie said they fell behing early and thus had to pass a lot and the O-line had a difficult task. Establishing the run was hard at that point. He also said going from a 1-15 season 2 years ago to an 11 win season last year has made other teams view them differently.
Text Contest
Very short on clock time, only 1 text was read at the end of the show.

Jim Rome Clone Report
Today on the Jim Rome radio show aka "The Jungle"
Jim Rome started out with a Mark Madsen like "YEAH".
Bills vs Patriots
Jim,"Memo to the Buffalo Bills,'Put the coffee down. Coffee is for closers only'." (Movie sound clip of Alec Baldwin saying that was played.) Rome went on, "...smacking the Patriots for 57 1/2 minutes, only to step out for a smoke break during the last 2 1/2 minutes is going to get you beaten."
Terrell Owens said he had nothing for the media afer the game.
Jim concluded, "What an absolutely gut wrenching, backbreaking, soul ripping loss in week 1, even for the Bills. I mean, what a absolutely brutal, brutal loss, even for the Buffalo Bills."
Raiders vs Chargers
The Raiders cam from ahead to lose also. Jim said, "It was all right there for Oakland. They were at home, prime time, their maniacs, miscreants, and myopians were foaming at the mouth in the stands. LT fumbled, sprained and ankle, the Chargers lost a couple of O-lineman,....Richard Seymour showed up , making plays. All they had to do was finish, for once, just finish!"
Patrick Swayze
He passed away . He'd had pancreatic cancer. Jim mentioned how cool he was. Movie clips were played and references were made a few times during the show. Jim was pleasantly surprised how most clones treated his passing with dignity and respect.
Tennessee vs Florida
Florida has been very quiet leading up to the game. One quote came out from Tim Tebow, "I don't like anybody talking bad about Coach Meyer." "Rome said, "That's and expletive laced tirade for Tim Tebow. That's a for syllable bomb. He's comin out of the chair. That's the most pointed comment I've ever heard tim Tebow utter."
E Mail
"Dear Jim, RIP Patrick. Point Break is one of the best movies of all time, right up there with Die Hard." Nick in Vancouver
Guests
Dwight Freeney (Indianapolis Colts DE)
He talked about being on defense and keeping the opposition from making a comeback or last minute score. Also discussed was the departure of Tony Dungey as coach. Dwight said he was missed but they have confidence in their new coach.
Dustin Keller (NY Jets TE)
Jim discussed with him how the coach and the team were very confident going into week 1 while the press had their doubts about the Jets. Dustin said the team bought into what Coach Ryan said and did.
Theo Epstein (Boston Red Sox GM)
He talked about the Red Sox turn around since losing 2 to the Tampa Bay Rays and 4 to the Yankees earlier in the season. Also, he let us in on a running gag he and John Papelbon have going on with public comments about each other. ( In good humor.)

Jim Rome Clone Report
Today on the Jim Rome Radio Show aka The Jungle
Surprise! Jim Rome is in today. The business trip he was planning today was cancelled. Tony Rizzo, who was going to guest host today will be in next week...when Jim is on vacation. Rome said,"Yes clones, another vacation. The reason I take so much vacation is because I get so much vacation." He pointed out, however, that he gets 7 weeks a year but only takes 6 weeks.
1st topic
USC vs Ohio State
USC wins a close game. Rome referenced the fact that last week he said,"Pete Carroll doesn't lose big games. He might lose some little ones, but not big ones. And Ohio State doesn't win big games." Jim went on,"...at least you didn't get humiliated, Buckeye fan." Also, the play of Matt Barkley and Terrell Pryor were discussed.
Michigan vs Notre Dame
Jim spoke briefly on Michigans win and that they apparently have a quarterback in Tate Forcier.
Tennessee loses to UCLA and has Florida next week. "Uh Oh!"
Michael Jordan's Hall of Fame induction speech.
MJ was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. In his speech he brought up several incidences when he was disrespected or slighted. He even flew in the high school teammate that was picked over him when he (Jordan) was a sophomore just to tell his high school coach he was wrong. Jim spoke about it at length. One quote from Rome,"He didn't talk about the people who helped him. He talked about the people who doogged him That's why that speech wasn't very good."
Guests
Mike Smith (Atlanta Falcons head coach)
Rome brought up the teams defense. Smith said they played hard and showed a lot of effort in their win Sunday but he saw areas for improvement. Jim brought up last years unexpected success and Smith liked that his team was confident coming into the year but noted that success can breed complacency. A phrase Smith has been using is "Humble and hungry".
Adrian Wojharowski (Yahoo Sports)
He came on to talk about his column on Michael Jordan's speech. Rome asked what his first reaction was. "I was stunned. A lot of people were taken aback. It was the wrong venue for airing old grievances and grudges with Jerry Krause and Jeff Van Gundy...and what he did to his high school teammate..."
Taylor Mays (USC safety)
He spoke about the tough environment the stadium at Ohio State proved to be. Also, he talked about the offense struggling and feeling that the defense had to step up. Rome asked him what he thought when he found out "that the keys to the car been given to a true freshman." (at quarterback) Mays said,"I think I had the keys and he rides in the back." Later he added,"...in the car seat." (In good humor)
Text Contest
"Hey Rome, I'm a Buckeye fan. I give up! You and Lendale White win. We do suck. Is it too late to get a leathery tan and a mistriss...Signed Textacular."

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Today on the Show
"Can I get a "quad yeah" for a Friday?" ...And so started Friday's show. Jim Rome asked J. Stew how many Twitter followers he lost last night. Then he hit J. Stew with,"Stew, what the hell happened to your lettuce today man? Do you not have product? What's going on? ...J. Stew, no product for his hair, but up to 2679. Adding (Twitter) followers overnight."
1st topic
Steelers vs Titans last night. It was the first regular season game of the year. Though not high scoring, Jim said the game was not boring. The Steelers coach was quoted as saying,"The more violent team usually wins." Rome,"Violence does pay. And so does having a cold blooded quarterback who clutches up like Ben Roethlisberger.
Monday
Jim willl not host the show on Monday (9/14/09). He has Jungle business to attend to. Tony Rizzo from WKNR in Cleveland will fill in for Jim.
The "Mix"
"Alvin's Mix" was played at 1 1/2 speed after a "war" of it in an E mail. Recent additions to the mix were clips from the 2009 Smack Off.
USC vs OSU
The game is still a hot topic in the Jungle. Jim's pick: USC by about 7
The Week that Was
A compilation of clips from the show this week was played as it is every Friday.
Guests
Michael Lombardi (National Football Post)
Asked about potential Steelers problems, he said they looked like the team that won the Super Bowl. They have offensive deficiencies but great defense and the ability to make plays when needed. Asked about Eric Mangini's keeping of the Brown's quarterback choice secret, he said it was "...the most childish act I've seen in 20 years."
Brian Cushing (Texans LB, out of USC)
Topics were USC vs OSU and his first NFL game. Brian said USC is confident going into all big games. He thinks QB Matt Barkley is "the real deal." Jim asked Brian if given the chance would he hit former USC teammate Mark Sanchez in a game. His response,"4 years of him wearing the yellow jersey in practice...If I get my opportunity, I'm taking it."
Malcolm Jenkins (New Orleans Saints, out of Ohio State)
He, too, was asked about the USC vs OSU game and his NFL debut. He said he realizes USC has future NFL caliber players and that OSU needs to go after USC's weak links. He said he would probably be used mostly on special teams to begin with for the Saints.
E mail
"Hey Jim, I don't always drink apple juice, but when I do, I prefer Motts, signed Melvin, the most interesting kid in the world." Jere in Denver

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Today on the Show
Big show today for football and...J. Stew!
Jim started with the NFL. Browns coach Eric Mangini's QB choice has been found out. Jim Rome said he knew the story would leak. He thought a reporter with connections like Mike Floria or Jay Glazer would break the story. However, it was Buffalo Bills "insider" Terrell Owens. He made it public first on Twitter.
USC vs Ohio State
USC coach Pete Carroll was on Jim's TV show yesterday. Rome,"I have never heard Pete Carroll talk about a young player the way he does Matt Barkley." Further,"Ohio State needs that game so badly...If USC comes in and slaps them in "the Shoe" with a true freshman at quarterback...I don't think they bounce back from that."
Allen Iverson to the Memphis Grizzlies
Rome,"What a spectacular train wreck that's going to be."
Twitter
Twitter came up because of the back and forth "Twittering" between Shawn Merriman and Tila Tequila that is taking place.
Guests
Joe Montana (NFL Hall of Famer)
Jim asked Joe about the 49ers quarterback situation. Joe acknowleged that Shawn Hill was named over Alex Smith, but felt the team was open to using the guy that best gives the team a chance to win at any time. Jim also asked Joe about his son Nick quarterbacking at LA area powerhouse high school, Oaks Christian. In the conversation, Joe brought up that his other son, Nathaniel is playing JC ball in LA as well.
Randy Shannon (Miami Hurricanes head football coach)
He feels the "U" is only on the right track to getting "back". He also spoke about the win over Florida State and individual players on his team.
Troy Aikman (Former Dallas Cowboys Quarterback)
He said he had a different opinion than Emmit Smith about the outlook for the Cowboys this year. Smith felt they were a 7-9 team. Also brought up was the enormity of being the QB at Dallas and if Tony Romo is up to the Challenge. Troy felt he was.
J.Stew and Twitter
Jason Stewart has been Twittering as JaStewart15. The Merriman/Tequila situation prompted Rome to bring up how many Twitter followers J.Stew has. Rome then began prompting the audience to become JaStewart 15 followers. He started at 1400 and something followers and had 2435 by shows end.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Today on the Show
Rome started by telling us that 2 time Heisman Trophy winner, Archie Griffin out of Ohio State was coming on the program today. He then played clips of Lendale White from yesterday downing Ohio State. Rome said he didn't think Archie Griffin would come on with that type of rhetoric.
Also, after hearing yesterday that the Detroit station would no longer carry the 3rd hour of the Jim Rome show, we now are told that the 3rd hour is back in Detroit.
1st topic
Ohio State - the Terrell Pryor wearing Mike Vick eye black story. The story has continued in Ohio. In Fact it has gotten worse for Pryor. Fans and local media have hit him hard. Rome said he doesn't have a problem with Pryor wearing the eye black. He said that Pryor just has to expect consequences and have a better response than the one he originally had.
USC is starting a true freshman against Ohio State
Cleveland Browns coach still has not said publicly who he will start the season with at quarterback. He says he has told the quarterbacks, however. Rome couldn't understand the logic or see an advantage gained by not naming a starter.
Juan Manuel Marquez
He is fighting Floyd Mayweather Jr. During and episode of the HBO reality series 24/7 he drinks his own urine. He explained it by saying that during training the body loses nutrients and that he is replacing what is lost. Jim Rome was repulsed!
Steve Perry and Journey
A controversy of sorts came up in regard to a line in one of their songs. "...born and raised in South Detroit." E mails came in saying there is no "South" Detroit. Rome had fun with it, taking e mails and texts. In the end a quote was read where Perry basically said North, West, and East Detroit didn't sound good in the song.
Guests
Archie Griffin (2 time Heisman winner)
He talked about the USC OSU game being special because big games early in the year like this have not been happening lately. Asked about the Pryor situation, Griffin said Pryor likes how Mike Vick plays football and he should now be able to move on. Finally, Griffin made it clear that he welcomes having someone else becoming a 2 time Heisman winner.
Jim Schwartz (Lions head coach)
He started off saying he had a lot of good teachers in the NFL like Jeff Fisher, Bill Belichick, and Marvin Lewis. Also, he discussed the choice of Matthew Stafford as the starting QB. At the end of the interview, Schwartz became the first NFL head coach to drop a haiku in the Jungle. He said some Detroit fans gave it to him to read. Here it is...
The good news today
Rome is still heard in Detroit
Enough said, I'm out
Jim Rome loved it. He said,"That's how you close the show, coach!

Jim Rome Clone Report
Today on the Show
After previewing today's guests, Jim started with last night's college football game, Miami vs. Florida St. The U came out on top at the end. Rome said,"It brings a smile to my face to say this, but ,'big ups to the U'." Jim said he's not playing favorites. "You've gotta love the U. Even if you hate the U, you've gotta love the U."
Ohio State may have been looking ahead to USC when barely escaping with a win over Navy. Rome said,"They aren't good enough to look ahead."
BYU beats Oklahoma. Jim said it wasn't just because Sam Bradford was injured. He said BYU played them straight up while Bradford was on the field.
NFL
Richard Seymour is not happy being traded to the Raiders from the Patriots.
Rome's take: Finding out you've been traded to the Raiders has to be the low point in the career of an athlete.
Shawn Merreman incident. Jim took sort of a wait and see stance since he, "wasn't in that house at 3 am."
Caller
Old school caller Irie Craig weighed in on race horse Rachel Alexandra's recent amazing win.
Guests
Bronco Mendenhall (BYU head coach)
He talked about the win over Oklahoma and the challenge of keeping the team focused after such a big win. Also, he said he scheduled Oklahoma to guage where they were at in their efforts to get back in the National Title picture as the program was in 1984.
Barry Zito (SF Giants)
Barry talked about the Giants 2nd half run and being impressed with his teammates. He also talked about being able to engage and get along with Barry Bonds.
Lendale White
Topics were USC vs Ohio State, an E Mailer from C Town that left Rome his address because he wants to fight Lendale, and Lendale's weight loss and getting in better shape.

Jim Rome Clone Report
Today on the Show
Oregon vs Boise State
Rome opened up with,"Quite a night for the Oregon football program. They got punched in the mouth all during the game by Boise State. Then one of their best players, LaGarrette Blount sucker punched Bronco Byron Hout after the game." Jim said Hout shouldn't have been "bumping his gums" or making contact with Blount or taking his "bonnet" (helmet) off. However,Jim said it was more about the Bronco defense embarrassing Blount and his teammates during the game.
The Most Interesting Man in the World
Video clips online of the punching incident that Jim saw kept coming with commercials...the same commercial, Dos Equis "Most Interesting Man in the World." Rome asked, "If you're the most interesting man in the world, what are you doing drinking a 2nd rate beer? If you were the most interesting man in the world you would have a classic cocktail...Bombay Sapphire." Jim gave the most interesting man title to Merlin, a "mixologist" he met with yesterday.
A parody based on today's show...
Michael Vick
He will officially miss only the first 2 regular season games.
Guests
Chris Petersen (Boise State Football Coach)
Chris talked about the game and the incident afterwards. Later in the interview, Rome asked about Chris' 11 year old son who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 1. Petersen told how his family referred to his son being a beacon of hope for them.
David Wright (New York Mets)
David spoke of the incident where he was hit in the head by a pitch earlier this season. Rome brought up the oversize protective helmet David had been wearing and all the riibbing he had been getting for it. Wright was good natured about it. Also Wright spoke at length about himself and other MLB players being in a fantasy football league put together by CBS Sports.com.
Vitali Klitschko (Heavyweight Boxing Champion)
He has a title defense coming up against Chris Arreola. Vitali talked about that fight, his long layoff, and Lennox Lewis. He used the phrase "send my opponent to the floor" a few times during the interview. Also, he and his brother plan to keep their promise to their mother and not have a match against each other.
Callers
Trapper called from Talladega. He said a lot about NASCAR, told us what he was going to eat, referenced "tramps like us" (I think), and wished the nation a happy Labor Day.
Vic in NoCal called for the first time since the Smack Off. He brought up Ryan Garko, Usain Bolt, Jay Mohr, and J.Stew. He ended the call with a reference to Jay Mohr, Mike DiTolla, and Brad in Corona being in a room drawing straws. Rome did not like the reference. Jim played a portion of a disclaimer (ala NASCAR) Vic had sent in which chronicled the many times Rome had reacted to Vic's calls. Then Rome stopped and told Vic he wouldn't play the disclaimer after the reference Vic made at the end of the call. Rome then gave Vic the "Quad Buzzer"...twice.
E Mails
"Dear Jim, sadly, Trapper's call was better than Vic's. Nice work, Vic. Now you're lower on the totem pole than Trapper." Blaze in K.C.
"Hey Rome, I find it fascinating that Trapper is a NASCAR fan. I wasn't aware that NASCAR was on TV in Moscow." Eric in Bellingham

Oregon vs Boise State
Rome opened up with,"Quite a night for the Oregon football program. They got punched in the mouth all during the game by Boise State. Then one of their best players, LaGarrette Blount sucker punched Bronco Byron Hout after the game." Jim said Hout shouldn't have been "bumping his gums" or making contact with Blount or taking his "bonnet" (helmet) off. However,Jim said it was more about the Bronco defense embarrassing Blount and his teammates during the game.
The Most Interesting Man in the World
Video clips online of the punching incident that Jim saw kept coming with commercials...the same commercial, Dos Equis "Most Interesting Man in the World." Rome asked, "If you're the most interesting man in the world, what are you doing drinking a 2nd rate beer? If you were the most interesting man in the world you would have a classic cocktail...Bombay Sapphire." Jim gave the most interesting man title to Merlin, a "mixologist" he met with yesterday.
A parody based on today's show...
Michael Vick
He will officially miss only the first 2 regular season games.
Guests
Chris Petersen (Boise State Football Coach)
Chris talked about the game and the incident afterwards. Later in the interview, Rome asked about Chris' 11 year old son who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 1. Petersen told how his family referred to his son being a beacon of hope for them.
David Wright (New York Mets)
David spoke of the incident where he was hit in the head by a pitch earlier this season. Rome brought up the oversize protective helmet David had been wearing and all the riibbing he had been getting for it. Wright was good natured about it. Also Wright spoke at length about himself and other MLB players being in a fantasy football league put together by CBS Sports.com.

Jim Rome Clone Report
Today on the Show
Rome started off with the NFL. "Running back on running back crime." Hall of famer Jim Brown recently said that Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is the most complete back he's seen in a long time. Rome said a Chargers staffer put that in front of LaDanian Tomlinson, knowing that's the kind of thing LT gets off on. It fuels his fire. LT addressed the comment saying AP is great but not complete, not a complete like he is.
Quote,"I was sitting there reading it, thinking,'wow'. The difference with me is...you put me on the field and there will be nothing I can't do..." Vikings coach Brad Childress responded saying Peterson is not only the best back, but the best player in the NFL.
Jim Rome's take: "Adrian Peterson is not the best player in the league and mabe not even the best back, considering how often he puts the ball on the ground.......That's trumps everything. In a sense, LT is right. LT is a more complete back. But Peterson is the better ball carrier."
PacMan Jones
Rome asked,"Weren't we just talking about PacMan getting a chance in the CFL...he can rebuild his image and earn his way back to the NFL? I've got one thing to say to that,'AAAAHHH'"
(the manual buzzer)
The Winnipeg Blue bombers apparently don't want PacMan after he went online (You Stream) and belittled the team and playing in the CFL only until he's picked up in the NFL.
Bears WR, anticipating possibly being cut sends the coaching staff flowers.
E Mail
"Hey Rome, UFL, CFL,...what difference does it make? Just wait, PacMan will soon be in the J.A.I.L."
Text Contest
"War Alvin pulling together,'I want my..Van Smack' (2 sound bites together) (It was done!)
"Hey Rome, power, speed, and all those stats don't matter when it comes to AP and LT. Who does the Wall Street Journal think has the more symmetrical face?" Doug in Portland
"Hey Guidry, I was the Triple U text yesterday but Jim didn't say I was blocked. Am I still alive? MB in Fresno. " Jim Rome replied,"Now you're not! BLOCKED!"
Triple U sponsor: "Customer service reps that tell you to go online to fix your problem when they're staring at a computer that's logged on to the company network."
Actual Triple U: "Running back on running back crime? Talk to me when you hit some running back on clothes hamper crime."
Result: BLOCKED!

Jim Rome Clone Report
Today on the Show
First, Jim gave the rundown of today's guests. Then he began with NFL teams that still haven't named a starting QB. The Cleveland Browns have Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson. Rome surmised that Quinn would be named the starter. In Detroit the decision may have been made for Jim Schwartz. As reported yesterday, Daunte Culpepper cut his foot on his carpet at home and needed 8 stitches. Today Schwartz said Culpepper "stretched his foot and it's sort of tore up by the top where his toe is."Rome said, "Huh?"
FIU and coach Isaiah Thomas have agreed to play North Carolina in there opener. Jim said," They have agreed to get their heads beaten in..."
Caller
Smack Off participant Brendan in Wilmington called. Part of his call was spent cracking on call screener Jason Stewart. Brendan said J. Stew needed to lose those extra chins, that he brushed his teeth with Country Crock, and that he pounds fudge all day.
Guests
Anthony Kim (PGA Tour Pro)
Anthony said he had come a long way in the last few months. He had felt a little lost on the course at times, but said things are looking up. Jim brought up athletes and Twitter. Kim said he needed to accomplish more in his career before people would be interested in him Twittering. Rome liked that honest up front answer.
Kevin Youkilis (Boston Red Sox)
Jim asked about the August incident when Youkilis charged the mound after being hit by a pitch. Kevin said that was the 2nd time in the series he had been hit by a pitch. The first had hit him in the ribs, which still affects him. He felt the 2nd hit had definate intent and that's what made him so upset. Youkilis is in the top 5
list of MLB players being hit by pitches.
Deron Williams (Utah Jazz)
Rome asked him about his off season. Williams said he took 2 months off to let hes ankle heal. That enabled him to play some golf. He said he loves golf. He said he is not that good but loves the challenge it presents to get better. Jim brought up the Carlos Boozer trade rumors. Deron said he didn't know what would happen, but that as of now Boozer is still a teamate.
Adrian Beltre
He is back from the DL for a severely contused testicle. Rome asked," Is there such thing as a 'mildly contused testicle'." The stadium DJ played the the Nutcracker Suite when Beltre came up to bat. Rome thought it sounded like a clone text or E mail joke and that it was in poor taste.
Text Contest
"War free health care in Canada to treat 'Pacman fever'."
"Dear Jim, If I got popped with a 92mph fastball, I would go up to bat with Jack in the Box's big round head on."
"Hey Rome, I'm pretty sure I saw Billy Sims at the Mike Piazza presser."
Triple U sponsor: no sponsor today
Actual Triple U: "Hey Jim, I brush my chicklets with...Oh wait, I don't have teeth to brush, signed Margot
Kidder."

Jim Rome Clone Report
Today on the Show
Rome started with the Vikings vs Texans game last night. "Quite a night for the old gunslinger, Brett Favre." Jim said Favre had a really good night, that is when he wasn't "cracking back illegally on DB's." Jim said,"He threw a nice ball and stayed within himself...and just managed the game." As far as the cut/hit, Rome thought is was illegal and cheap, but not dirty.
Adam (Pac Man) Jones is going to the CFL.
The LA Dodgers trade for Jim Thome and Jon Garland.
Indiana Pacer Danny Granger is encountering building code and local law road blocks while trying to build a "Bat Cave" at his home. He has broken ground, though!
Caller
Eddie in Boise called in to attempt to redeem himself again after 2 memorably bad calls. After apologizing for his previous calls he then started to regurgitate over played and old sound bites, and Jim dropped the manual buzzer.
J. Stew
Photos were release of J. Stew's appearance on " Gary Unmarried". E Mailers hit Stew with 'FAT' references.
Guests
Kyle Whitttngham (Utah U. Football Coach)
He spoke about their success last year and how it has helped in recruiting. Also, he wants in the BCS.
Marvin Lewis (Cincinnati Bengals Coach)
Rome brought up HBO's Hard Knocks and Lewis agreeing to have the team as the subject of the show. Also, Carson Palmer and his injuries were discussed. And, of course, Chad Ochocinco was brought up. Lewis is pleased Chad is back on board.
Art Schlichter
This was and extensive interview that took up most of the third hour of the show. Art spoke candidly about his gambling addiction, the money crimes he committed to feed his gambling, and his time in prison. He has a book out called,"Busted, the Rise and Fall of Art Schlitcher"
Text Contest (Phil Guidry)
"War umpires using the manual buzzer for called 3rd strikes." Phil in the Twin Cities
"Dear Rome, I thought you said,'Suck, don't have a take' sorry, Eddie in Boise."
"Hey Romey, who caters for Gary Unmarried? I want stock in that company." Riley in the 805
Triple U sponsor: "The guy in the airport on a dead sprint." Craig full of Clout
Actual Triple U: "Hey Rome, Stew's performance in booking NFL coaches has been impressive but it's got nothing on regarding his performance at the buffet."
Result: Jim said it was barely readable. No warning, no BLOCK.
