Jim Rome Clone Report

Summary of today's show

First word out of Jim's mouth..."YEAH!" (Followed by the "Quad Yeah! clip.)
Then, "I don't think that guy was saying that on Sunday. My man, Will Gay. Sometimes you gotta smack your own. He got trucked! It's all right, Will. It happens to everybody. Well, everybody who gets in front of Adrian Peterson."

NFL

Bengals beat the Bears
   Rome asked, "How pissed do you think the Chicago Bears are right now?" Cedric Benson had been a Bears draft pick. He didn't do well and had off the field problems. Sunday, as a Bengal running back, Benson "...completely embarrassed and humiliated them" according to Rome.

Mark Sanchez
   Jim said he is a big Mark Sanchez "guy". Mark is now catching heat for "...slamming that hot dog on the sideling during that blowout (of the Raiders)", as Jim put it. Jim went on, "Now that's cool. That's awesome...When was the last time you saw anybody eat anything during an NFL game?"  Sanchez later apologized.

The Raiders
   Romes take: "Hey, by the way, Raiders. thanks for picking me up. I go out of my was on Friday to talk about how you turned the corner, potentially, and then you show up like that."

NFL Official gets hit.
   Romes version, "Vikings special teammer Jeff Dugan ran right through an official. Biggest hit of the game. Frankly, it looked like it didn't have to happen, either... It doesn't seem like he had to run that old guy face first into the turf. But he did. Can you imagine if he tried that with Hochuli? He would have gotten up swinging."

Cowboys
   Jim says the Cowboys have a new #1 receiver, the undrafted Miles Austin. Rome thinks he looks like the Yankees Alex Rodriguez. The take: "...But dude, this whole little 'Face Off' thing he's got going with A-Rod is not cool...I don't know how these guys did that ...He's got to give him back his face. Now it's just getting creepy."

Brandon Marshall
   He appeared on Jim's TV show, Jim Rome is Burning. In the interview he took responsibility for his bad behavior earlier in the year. Marshall said, "I went about it the wrong way... Instead of me handling it like a man, I just act like a little, immature brat. You know, let's be honest." Jim commented on the radio today, "In reality it was a perfect answer."

Larry Johnson on Twitter
   The Kansas City Chief Tweeted that his father "...got more credentials than most of these pro coaches...He played for the Redskins briefly, our coach, nothing." Rome said, "I've heard of 'My dad can beat up you dad", but I've never heard of  "My dad can out coach my NFL coach'."

ALCS
   The Yankees advance to the World Series. Rome's take: "I don't care that they lost. It's how they lost, which bothers me, if I were and Angel fan...Because that was not Angels baseball."

Guest

Jackie MacMullan (Author, ESPN.com)
   She co-wrote the recent book, "When the Game Was Ours" with Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. (With content about Isaiah Thomas)  Jim asked when Magic and Isaiah's friendship fell apart. She said that  "Magic's HIV diagnosis and the way that Isaiah handled it was really the last straw." She continued, "You have to go back to 1987." She told us Isaiah had made comments about Larry Bird and people were coming to Magic about those comments since they were friends. Magic was about to play in the NBA finals and was irritated to have to deal with that. Then Jackie said that in the 1988 Finals the Pistons were playing the Lakers, and that at one point in the series Magic and Isaiah had to be separated. Jackie said she believes Isaiah did question Magic's sexuality but not in a malicious way..."He didn't set out to destroy Magic."  Lastly, she said, "There's no way in this Earth that Isaiah Thomas thought everything was the same (between them)."
