Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Summary of today's Jim Rome Show

Jim greeted the audience, then gave the phone number and said, "Call J. Stew. Convince him you've got a good take."

Big Story
   Braylon Edwards has been traded to the NY Jets. Rome's take: "If Braylon Edwards knew that all he had to do to get off that sinking ship in C-Town was to 'dot' one of Lebron's guys eyes, he probably would have done it a lot sooner. Who says crime doesn't pay?"

Michael Crabtree finally signs with the 49ers. Rome saw no point in his prolonged hold out. Jim then let us know, "...team Crabtree reportedly rolled in to negotiations with...wait for it... wait a little longer...MC Hammer. That's right. What? Did Crabtree's agent, Eugene Parker, push away from his desk, throw his hands int the air and say, 'Alright...stop, Hammer time!' " Gold parachute pants, suspenders, Cash for Gold commercials, and 'Too Legit to Quit' all came out as a result.(In sound bites and comments and E mails.)

Twins Vs Tigers
   A 12 inning win for the Twins. Jim acknowleged it was a great game, but said, "It was a bigger tank, a bigger choke. They blew a 3 game lead with 4 to play. ...That's a game that never should have been played."

Minnesota as the center of the sports world
   First it was  the Vikings and Brett Favre beating the Packers, then the Twins win the 1 game playoff on the same field. Then in St. Paul the Minnesota Wild come back from a 3-0 deficit to beat the Ducks in OT.

Jim Rome doesn't like NFL anylists saying, "National Football League" over and over instead of using the acronym "NFL".

Guests

Mitch Williams (MLB Network, former MLB pitcher)
   He said he would not write off the Twins (vs Yankees). Mitch agreed with Rome that C.C. Sabathia was brought in to the Yankees to win in the post season.  He picks the Phillies over the Rockies in the first round in the National League. He spoke candidly about his career and the disappointment he felt when traded from the Phillies.

Darren Sharper (New Orleans Saints)
   The Saints are 4-0. Darren gave Defensive Coach Greg Williams a lot of credit for the success of the defense so far. Schemes, mentality, and an emphasis on creating turnovers have all been taught by Williams.
Darren has 59 interceptions in his career and is chasing Ronnie Lott, who retired with 63.
