Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Jim opened introducing the XR4ti crew as he usually does. During this he said, "...Kyle Brandt, illing, but working the E mail. Gonna gut it out, man's game. Hey, be an athlete, man. Yeah, but bro, I think I might be "swined up". Later Rome said to the audience to not get carried away. Kyle had not been diagnosed with H1N1. But, "...He did say I think I'm "swined out" bro.
Also in the intro, Jim said he would be interviewing Knowshon Moreno later in the show. Rome informed us, "Four weeks in a row the Broncos have delivered a guest...Obviously they're buying into the Karma."
There was also a reset of a call yesterday. A fairly new listener, Jack in Indy, called and said that he liked Jim and interviews but said the callers were horrible and they're ruining the show. That call was said to have inspired a lot of feedback during and after yesterday's show.
LA Clippers
One day after announcing the injury to blake Griffin, "The Clips had to open up their season watching their 'land lords' collect their Championship 'ice' right on the floor that they sublet from them," Rome told us. He continued, "Well, actually they didn't have to watch, because their coach, Mike Dunleavy wouldn't let them watch...You probably don't want to show your guys something that they're never going to get anyway.
Twitter
Jim reset KC Chiefs RB Larry Johnson's Twitter activity. He was "sent packing" on a suspension by the Chiefs. Jim said, "Twitter's the best. Twitter is hilarious."
Caron Butler
The Washington Wizards player lost 11 pounds in the off season. His regimen? He gave up the 6 pack a day habit of Mountain Dew. He said it was the toughest thing he had to do. He explained that he had a can on his nightstand because he couldn't get through the night without one. Rome mused, "That is awesome. If you can't get through the night without crushing a Dew, you're an addict."
Callers or no Callers?
The debate has happened before, but not lately. The topic of the day stemmed from the call yesterday mentioned above. Jim asked, "What goes through your mind when I say, "Let's go to the phones?"
Caller
Rome went to a "Bobby in LA" and got no answer. We then hear Bobby in the backround discussing a bar tab!
A little later Jim's addressed the caller or no caller question again. "Jack's (the guy complaining about callers) getting hammered and Bobby's a hero. (In the e mails). I guess that answers my question about what to do with the callers."
Rome began to take more calls. Another was from Dave in Rochester. He was monotone and sounded sad. Jim said he sounded like a John Hancock financial commercial.
The point was that we listen not only for good callers, but also for especially bad ones because they make us laugh.
NFL referees
After the hit a ref took last weekend, there is talk of having them wear helmets. The ones like the players! The take: "They should risk the injury to keep their dignity! It's going to be awesome. Awesome for how ridiculous they will look."
Guests
Knowshon Moreno (Denver Broncos)
Off the top, Jim asked him if playing in the NFL was as he thought it would be. Knowshon said it was more than he expected. He cited the level of preparation and the physical play.
Denver had some upheaval during the spring and summer. Jim asked him what he was thinking about that. Knowshon said he wasn't worried. He just wanted to find his way and role on the team. Knowshon spoke of asking for the #27 jersey formerly worn by cornerback Darren Williams who ws killed in 2007. Knowshon wanted to honor Darren and met and asked Darren's parents for the honor.
Phillip Rivers (San Diego Chargers)
Rome reset the Adrian Wilson interview yesterday where he "shouted out" to Phillip Rivers. That led to today's interview. The two were friends at the dorms at NC State.
Jim then asked if the Chargers could take something from the win over a low performing Chiefs team. Phillip felt they could. He mentioned the Chargers slow starts in recent years. He said, "You have to win the first one to get on a roll." The negativity that has surrounded the team was brought up. Rivers said they have not let it seep into the locker room. Rivers agreed that they are only as good as their 3-3 record, but said they are going to get better than a .500 team.
