Jim Rome Clone Report

Summary of today's Jim Rome Show

After greeting the audience Jim gave out the phone number to call the show. It is 1-800-636-8686. Rome said there were opportunities to call today, but, "...You have to get through Jason Stewart. Stew is like a steel trap. Stew has done this for 10 years. Stew will sniff out a bad phone call.....Don't mess with Stew."

1st topic
   Denver Broncos vs San Diego chargers Monday Night Football game.
      Jim commented, "If Denver was the worst 5-0 team, then now they are the worst 6-0 team. Josh McDaniels is the smartest guy in the room...It was a classic trap game. The Broncos were coming off an emotional win and were now on the road against a divisional opponent."

Rome feels the Chargers aren't right. He said their "soft and bewildered" defense has spread to special teams. Also, "Don't look for them to come back this year."

New York Yankees
   Jim said that manager Joe Girardi overmanaged, "...case in point: You going out to bother, ERRR, check on Andy Petit after he allowed a run and was facing Vladimir Guererro. Instead of letting your vet work through it...you disrupt him, you probably irritate him. Then the next thing you know Vlady is running around the bases and the game is tied."

New Vanity Plates
   All on Corvettes: "RAD DUDE", "EUD LOSE", "USINGLE"

Callers

A guy named Greg in Sun Valley (a community in Los Angeles, CA) called.

Donna in Tuscon called and reset the clones take on Aaron Rodgers yesterday and whether he was downcast and/or wooden and laconic.



Throwback Uniforms
Jim Rome acknowledged being front and center on the Denver Broncos bandwagon but hates their "mustard" throwback uniforms.

NLCS
   Jim said it looked like the Dodgers were in a good spot in game 4 until Philly came back on them. Further, "The Dodgers match up well with them but Philly is so much tougher."

Guests

Jonathan Vilma (New Orleans Saints)
   Jim called him the quarterback of the defense and ask Jonathan about being that. Vilma said it was about getting everyone lined up in the right spot. He likes what he does and loves the extra work it calls for in practice and in the film room. The Saints' defense has been slighted all year but Jonathan doesn't worry about it. He just keeps playing good ball. Of Drew Brees, he said, "the stats don't lie. He is by far the best QB in the NFL right now.

Stewart Mandel (Sports Illustrated.Com writer)
   Rome mentioned talking to Texas QB Colt McCoy and him feeling he is playing better this year than last. Stewart did not agree. He said, "I don't think he's gotten worse, but he doesn't seem to have the same connection with his receivers this year. Jim asked if Texas can play better as they have indicated. Again Stewart disagreed. He said by now teams have found their identity and would be surprised if there offense got a lot better. Of Florida, Stewart thinks they're okay now, and Tim Tebow is looking himself again after his concussion. Of USC, he sees them having a chance to figure in the National title picture.

LaMarr Woodley (Pittsburgh Steelers)
   They have beaten the Cleveland Browns 12 times in a row. Asked if he still considers them a rival, LaMarr said yes he does and you can't overlook teams. Cincinnati celebrated a lot in their win over the Steelers. Pittsburgh will remember. "They celebrated too much in my book" said LaMarr. Steelers play the Vikings next. Jim mentioned trying to stop Adrian Peterson and then having to deal with Brett Favre if you put 8 men in the box. LaMarr said they would approach that by balancing things out defensively. Asked of his alma mater Michigan facing Penn State this weekend, LaMarr said,"We're definately going to take care of them."

Text Contest

"Hey Rome. War me joining a couples bowling league and asking Guidrey for advice on wrist guards." Fuzzy in the 716

"War Janet telling Alvin that monsters don't exist on Halloween."

Triple U Sponsor: "Tools that think it's okay to jump to front of the line because they'll just take a second." Emilio Textavez

Rome then said,"And there's somebody here trying to text me about Norv Turner and what he uses for shaving cream."

Result: "You're BLOCKED!"

Huge Call of the Day

Rome said as the show closed," Greg in Sun Valley would have won the huge call had we not run out of time."
