Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Summary of today's Jim Rome Show

"A tremendous Tuesday to you. Welcome to the program", Rome started.

Topics:

Redskins vs Eagles
   Quoting Rome, "Hard to imagine why the Redskins did not hang 50 on Philadelphia withe their new "Bingo Caller" in the booth. I thought dialing up "B9" was a great call in the Red Zone. I thought that "G27" call..........This is not on Sherm Lewis. It's on the Redskins for calling Lewis."  Jim then revisited the subject of "the cruel and inhumane treatment of Jim Zorn." Rome said ownership is trying to break Zorn's will to get him to quit so they won't have to pay him.

Georgia vs Florida

Georgia coach Mark Richt had his team celebrate on the field after an early TD in 2007. Florida still hasn't forgotten. A Gator player said, "...We can't just let it be a one year thing where we feel like we took care of it."  Jim Rome commented, "..generations of Gators will pile on Georgia".

LA Clippers
   #1 overall draft pick Blake Griffin broke his kneecap in a recent preseason game. Jim said, "How utterly Clipper of something like that to happen." He then recalled Blake playing "Yakety Sax" in the backround of an interview in the Jungle.

Screened Out Caller

Jim told the audience that a guy called wanting to do a "Sapphire in my glass" parody of "hot sauce in my bag." J. Stew told him that wasn't good enough. The guy then claimed he was Dennny Neagle's step dad and could Jim at least play Denny's famous "train whistle" sound byte. Rome did. Then said, " A human being should not be able to make this sound."

This started a new "thread". E mails began coming in saying things like, "Hey Rome. I am Brad in Corona's step dad. Will you play his Lakers Euros take for me?" (Chad in Portland) ...and ,"Hey Rome. I am, like, Miss Teen South Carolina's step dad and can you, like, such as, play her answer from the Miss Teen USA Pageant?"  Also there was, "Hey Jim. I work for Hanes, and we make sweat pants in my factory..." Rome asked, "I wonder where that's going." He continued with the E mail, "...can you please play Carl in Rosemead's call?"

 E Mail

"Entitlement Eric" called out Frances in Glendale, amongst others. Frances responded, "...Memo to Eric Smothers...take it all away." This was a reference to a Steve Elkington interview where he brought up Tommy Smothers. Jim Replayed Elk's comments.

Guests

Antoine Bethea (Indianapolis Colts)
   The Colts are 6-0. Antoine thinks they are Super Bowl good, as they were in 2006. He said all 3 phases of the team are playing really well. The defense has not allowed a TD since October 4th. He told Rome that they were flying around and having fun. The Colts have a new Defensive Coordinator and they are being more aggressive. Bob Sanders came back Sunday. Antoine told us that Bob helped him out early in his career.

Matt Barkley (USC  Quarterback)
   He is a true freshman. Jim asked if his experiences so far have been surreal. Matt said he knew he wanted to be the starting QB , knew it entailed a lot, and is trying to "do what the USC quarterback should be doing". Matt has known Matt Leinart and has gotten advice from him. Barkley also told Rome that his faith and his parents have kept him grounded.

Brad Lidge (Philadelphia Phillies)
   They have been off for 5 days . Brad felt they needed the rest. The team is excited to be playing the Yankees in the World Series. Jim asked if they are looking to, not only repeat, but create a dynasty of sorts. Brad said it's possible since core players are locked up for a while. The team believed they would win the whole thing in the beginning of the season.

Adrian Wilson (Arizona Cardinals)
   They just beat the Giants in their stadium on national TV. Adrian said they expected to win that game. He said people are still skeptical of what kind of team they are, even after making it to the Super Bowl. He told Jim that people look at the past history of Cardinal teams. Jim asked Adrian about Pat Tillman. Adrian said Pat Tillmman had taken him under his wing and showed him the ropes.
