Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

                                           Happy Birthday J. Stew

Summary of today's Jim Rome Show

Jim opened the show with a Friday "Quad Yeah!"

Topics

NLCS
   Jim asked Dodger manager Joe Torre (not in an interview), "Where was the hook when 21 year old Clayton Kershaw was unraveling in the 5th inning last night?" Rome played Joe Torre's response to a similar question during a news conference. Then he gave Joe the "manual buzzer".
Jim said the McCourts, Dodger owners, stole the thunder of the game one loss by announcing their marital separation. He said their impending divorce will affect the payroll, and therefore, the team and the fans.

USC vs Notre Dame
   Jim feels the Trojans are beatable, and if Notre Dame doesn't beat them now, they never will in the Pete Carroll era. Jim's pick: USC by 7. He did say, however, that Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen can lock up the Heisman with a good performance.

Rush Limbaugh reset
   A caller said a divisive person from the other end of the political spectrum would have been denied the opportunity to own an NFL franchise also. Rome said the topic is emotionally charged with tremendous heat on both sides. Jim cited a study that showed that 70% of NFL owners political contrubutions went to Republicans. That seems to back up the opinion that the NFL simply doesn't want controversy.

Caller

A caller said he went to kylebrandt.com and, though underconstruction, has an upside down pistol as the "r" in Brandt. The caller asked what gives him the right to do that. He basically went on a little rant cracking on Kyle. Kyle then came on and said the guy had earlier E mailed basically the same thing.

Guests

Eddie Royal (Denver Broncos)
   He caught 10 passes on Sunday. He didn't expect that, saying, "..we take what the defense gives us."  Of QB Kyle Orton, Eddie says, "He's a great leader, he studies a lot of film. He's a hard worker, comes to work every day in practice...and that's what we need right now. Eddie also said they were definately all in when it comes to coach Josh McDaniels' program.

Jerry Cantrell and Mike Inez (Alice in Chains rock band)
   They have a new album out for the first time in a long time. The path to the new album started with them just hanging out together again. They started playing a little music. Theat led to some gigs and tours. They then came up with some new material. They have a connection with Pearl Jam.  Jerry is a Steeler and Seahawk fan. Mike is a Raider fan. He said the fans are not happy. He went to a game and heard a guy in the beer line say, "We're one injury away from being a .500 team, and that's Al Davis' stroke.

Quentin Jammer (San Diego Chargers)
   He doesn't feel the upcoming game with the Broncos is a "must win" game, but it is a huge game. Rome asked if they will come out swinging. Quentin said they always come out swinging. Of the Broncos, Jammer said they are playing like a 5-0 team.
