Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Summary of today's Jim Rome Show

Jim said he is "working on a 72", meaning he is off on Monday.

Jim started with the Nebraska vs Missouri college football game. The Cornhuskers came away with a big win. They had done nothing for 3 quarters and were down 12-0 going into the fourth quarter. They came on strong  and won 27-12.  Jim said, "..Still not officially back, but they are in the red zone." "Should Bo Pelini give them back the blackshirts?", Rome asked. Jim said he would not just yet, but called the game a big win for Nebraska.

MLB Playoffs
   Dodgers vs Cardinals (game 2). Rome, "Lights or no lights, white towels or no white towels, St. Louis left fielder Matt Holliday has to come up with that liner at Dodger Stadium yesterday." If he would have, the Cardinals would've gotten a split in LA. Instead, they are down 0-2. Jim said he thinks the Cardinals are dead in the water.

E mail from Dave in St. Louis
   "Hey Van Smack. After watching the Cards choke away their season...we in St. Louis need a pick me up. Romey, please give me the only thing that will put a smile back on my face: the Larry Brown gym call. Jim said no.

Michael Vick may be getting a reality show. Rome said that is something Vick can do, but should not do.

E mail
   Citing yesterday's topic of taking pictures of guys smoking pipes or guys with mustaches, an E mail was sent in with a picture. It was not a guy with a pipe or a mustache. It was a picture of a lady driving a Mercedes wearing a bicycle helmet!  Jim said," that is one of my favorite pictures also."

Guests

Mark Loretta (LA Dodgers)
   Mark got the hit to drive in the winning run in the bottom of the 9th inning last night against the Cardinals. He said it was the biggest hit of his career. (1700+ hits) He is an LA area native and came "home" when joining the Dodgers. Three generations of Loretta's were there last night and that made the moment all the more special. Mark also said it was unfair to put all the blame for the loss on Matt Holliday.

William Gay (Pittsburgh Steelers)
   He gave the Jungle the 4th "yeah" of the "Quad Yeah".
Will is happy and proud to now be a starter on a great Pittsburgh defense.  He was told by his uncle when picked by the Steelers that he would have to be physical and be ready to be mean out there.
Jim explained that first we had the "Triple Yeah" and Will's "YEAH" during the Super Bowl celebration was added to make it the "Quad Yeah". Rome played both versions for Will. Will laughed and said, "I like that. I like that."

Justin Tuck (NY Giants)
   The Giants are 4-0. Rome asked if Justin had seen like the rash of injuries that they are having. He said not really. Justin said Eli Manning doesn't get the credit for his toughness. Also, Eli had changed as a player and a man. He has come into his own as a leader. Tuck told us that coach Tom Coughlin has a leadership council made up of players from the team that regularly meet with him.
