Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Summary of today's Jim Rome Show

In hour one, Jim started out with Washington Redskins Hall of Famer John Riggins. Jim told us that John turned 60 this year. Jim said, "But he is rolling tape, smoking fools, and lighting up chumps." Riggins made a YouTube video that Rome said, "...starts like a backyard pow wow, but quickly disenegrates into a blood bath." "Riggo" as Rome called him, said the Redskins owner castrated the head coach, Jim Zorn. Of Zorn, Riggo said he would be better served coaching his sons high school team. Further, Riggins said the GM of the Redskins is no GM at all and should be analyzing games for ESPN. Of the rant, Rome said, "I'm not ready to say that he is moving in on (Donald) Trump v Rosie, because nobody is, but Riggo is at least on 'The Donalds' block."

In hour two, caller Ken in Sacramento, was glad Rush Limbaugh is now out of a group seeking to buy the St. Louis Rams. Jim Rome said,"What it comes down to is this. It's not so much politics. I'm sure a lot of the owners, politically, are pretty well in line with Rush Limbaugh...As violent as the NFL is...the shield is pretty vanilla. Rush, frankly, is just too hot to handle. Too controversial. The risk is greater than the reward. All the things that made Rush Limbaugh Rush Limbaugh are the very thimgs the NFL thinks would be bad for their brand.
Callers called in on both sides. Some said it was political,and not just about Rush's divisiveness.

Guests

Keith Brooking (Dallas Cowboys)
   12 years in the league, Keith came to the Cowboys this year from the Falcons. It has rejuvenated him. He agreed there is extra scrutiny on the Dallas Cowboys. Keith said , "We are a very good football team. We have to get rid of mental mistakes. " When asked of Tony Romo, Keith said he gives Tony very high marks.
"He works extremely hard...nobody knows what it is like to be the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys."

Torri Hunter (LA Angels of Anaheim)
   He is feeling good before the ALCS. Jim said that people said that the Red Sox had the Angels number. Torri said it would be a different scene in their series. Rome asked him how he knew. Torri said they played with purpose and passion all season, while having fun at the same time. He told us the Angels got closer with the tragedy of the death of pitcher Nick Adenhart.

John Ondrasik (Musician, Five for Fighting)
   He is a good friend of Jim Rome. He has a new album entitled "Slice". John spoke of he song "Superman" and of his change in perspective from his first album to his fifth.  The song, "Nowhere Bar" : John thanked Jim for "the best first line of a Five For Fighting song ever." "She wanted a hotel with a lobby." It came from talk amongst friends when they were in Cabo San Lucas on vacation.
