Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Summary of today's Jim Rome Show

(note: There appeared to be a problem with the streamlink of the show. Therefore today's report is based on memory helped by segment headings on jimrome.com. Also, quotes are paraphrased.)

Jim started off mentioning the Yankees vs Twins game. He said if ever there was a must win game one game, this was it for the Yankees. The Twins were riding high on adrenaline and the Yankees could not afford to lose.  They did not lose. It was a good win for C.C. Sabathia. Rome was thankful he didn't have to read a bunch of Cottage Cheese Sabathia E mails today.

Callers

Kathy in Sacramento called in with some good takes. The best was her crack in Brendan Ryan's mustache. After, Jim said he didn't know if he should run her or invite her to the Smackoff. Then Jim began to talk about mustaches. He said it's rare to see a guy that's not a cop or fireman with a mustache only (no goatee).

John in Omaha referanced Jim mentioning they were having the 1000th "Jim Rome is Burning" show today. John said it had been 1200 days since he had a stroke. At first John was calm. Later in the call, when talking about the Nebraska vs Missouri football game, he began to increase his rate, volume, and excitement. He said the Karma was with Nebraska since Rome had Coach Bo Pelini on twice this year. After a bit, Jim took over. Jim said he wanted to make sure John made it to 1201 days since his stroke.

Guests

Vince Vaughn (Actor)
   Jim ran into Vince on his recent vacation to Bora Bora. Vince was shooting his new movie. During the call today, Vince asked for Jim's help with who to play in his fantasy football league. After the call, Rome was commenting on how nice and engaging Vince was to everyone while Jim saw him on the island.

Bryan Kelly (Cincinnati Bearcats Football coach)
   Cincinnati is ranked in the top ten and above Ohio State. Rome asked him about it. Bryan tried to stay away from cliches. Though still early, and polls can't tell all, Kelly acknowledged his team is good. He said he can embrace the ranking. It can help in recruiting and building the program.

Jack Del Rio (Jacksonville Jaguars coach)
   Jim talked with him about QB David Gerrard. Del Rio had to recently point out some sub par play. Gerrard is the type of guy to take criticism well and has improved. They also spoke of the release of long time RB Fred Taylor. It was done with the utmost respect. Maurice Jones-Drew is now their #1 RB.

Text Contest

Good E mail and Texts came in. Many were on mustaches and John in Omaha. Without the streamlink, I cannot list them word for word as I usually do.

Video

In honor of the discussion of mustaches, I post this video where I sport a mustache as Randy Johnson. The video has been on YouTube.
