Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Summary of today's Jim Rome Show

Jim started of with the Minnesota vs Green Bay game from last night. He said, "I didn't think the old gunslinger still had THAT  in him...Is it 2009 or 1996? I can't tell.....Clearly it was worth it to bring Brett Favre in and pay him 12 mil.......I've got a throat full of crow, and there is not a glass of water big enough to wash it all down." Jim did say, however, that he still feels the Packers did the right thing in letting him go.  Also, "The Vikings are the team to beat."


Miguel Cabrera
   He not only got arrested after a fight with his wife, but reportedly told a teenager that had earlier come to him for an autograph, "Hey, big guy. You need to hit the gym." (The kid was over weight.) He allegedly also threatened the kid and his friend.

Braylon Edwards
   The Browns WR reportedly punched a member of Lebron James' "crew" in the face. Edwards is 6'3", 215 lbs. and the guy, Edward Gibbons, is 5'7" 135lbs. Lebron called the act childish, and said the appropriate people would deal with it.

Caller

David in Wisconsin called in saying he was a Packer fan for  50 years. As he continued to speak, Rome asked him if, in fact, he had said "50 years". The guy would not stop talking. Jim repeatedly said, "David, David...David". Finally Jim had to run him.

Guests

Champ Bailey (Denver Broncos)
   He said people had written them off during the off season. He is glad they are 4-0, but says it's just the start and they have a lot of work to do. Champ feels the key to winning in the NFL is to keep getting better.
He appeared confident in coach Josh McDaniels saying," He knows football."  The Broncos face the Patriots next and Champ will likely cover Randy Moss. Champ gave Moss a lot of respect.

Phil Simms (CBS Sports, former Giants QB)
   Of Champ Bailey, Phil said,"He's one of the best corners I have ever watched on a football field in my life." He, too, said the Broncos were well coached.  Of Brett Favre, "Back in '95 I said Brett was a special talent." He rates Favre's arm  #1 all time when it comes to physically making throws.

Bryant McKinnie (Minnesota Vikings)
   Bryant said there was a lot of energy in the Dome last night. Rome asked if Brett Favre had won the team over last night of before last night. Bryant said before last night. He likes Brett and says he is a motivator.
Now 30, McKinnie said he cut his braids and has a short haircut. Also, he is more serious about taking care of his body.

Triple U (It's Un funny, it's Unreadable, it's Uninspired.)

Actual Triple U: "Hey Jim, did you say the Packers were Jared Allen's personal property for four quarters? What is this 'personal property' you speak of? Signed Bums"

Result: "You're BLOCKED! There is a ban on bum smack."
