Jim Rome Clone Report

Summary of today's Jim Rome Show

Jim started off with...

World Series Game 1
   There has been talk asking why were the Yankees so flat, so lifeless? What happened to the Yankees? Jim gave the answer, "I'll tell you exactly what happened to the Yankees. Cliff Lee 'happened' to the Yankees...He was dealing. He was 'filthy'...They may have to deal with that guy 3 times in a long series... The Yankees are now facing a must win situation in that Game 2." Derek Jeter was quoted, "Nope. You handle every game the same way." Rome responded, "AAAAHHHHH!"(the manual buzzer) Wrong answer, cap. I understand he has to say that." Chase Utley hit 2 home runs in the game. It was the first time since Babe Ruth that a lefty hit 2 home runs off another lefty.


E Mails

"Hey Rome. Chase Utley...Chase 'bleeping' Utley. Regards, the Yankees."
"Dear Rome, Hey Yankees, Yo holmes, smell you later. Sighned Home Field Advantage."

Twitter
   Rome has said that,"Twitter is a loaded gun for a number of athletes." Now comes a story of it being used by athletes responsibly. Carmelo Anthony dunked Paul Milsap and Twitter was used by many of his peers in the NBA to give him "ups".

Portland
   Jim will be broadcasting the show from Portland on Monday, November 2nd. This announcement brought about E mails cracking on Portland.

Weird Pictures
   First there were pictures being sent into the show of guys smoking pipes because Rome had asked, "When was the last time you saw a guy working a pipe?" Then pictures of guys with mustaches...then vanity plates, then people with bicycle helmets not on bikes. Today, a guy in Portland sent a picture of  a panhandler with a rabbit on a leash.

Guests

Charles Barkley (Former NBAer and TNT analyst)
   Charles wants to be an NBA General Manager. He is not, however, in a rush to take a bad job. Rome asked him if he thought someone is going to give him that opportunity. Charles said, "I hope so. They've given some of these other slugs jobs and they've sucked at it...give me my chance to suck, too."  Jim then asked him what coach he would hire if he needed to as a GM. Charles said two of the guys he would call first are Michael Cooper and Bill Laimbeer. On the Magic v Isaiah situation, Charles said, "I was disappointed in Magic... It happened so long ago... I think he should have went to Isaiah and talked to him...I like Magic. I like Isaiah." Chuck feels a lot of the criticism Isaiah Thomas has received in the last few years is uncalled for and unnecessary.

Cris Collinsworth (NBC Sports)
   He has a week off for the first time in years. He said, "I have no idea what to do." Rome brought up the Vikings vs the Packers at Green Bay this weekend. Cris said, "Aaron Rodgers is playing great and the receivers are making plays, and I don't know about the protection." Cris said the Packers are improved, but the Vikings are the team to beat in the NFC. Jim asked Cris what kind of reception Brett Favre will get in Green Bay. The response, "...I would be stunned in pregame introductions if they do anything but give him a standing ovation..."

Caron Butler (Washington Wizards)
   Jim asked him about giving up Mountain Dew and if it was really that hard to give up. Caron said, "Definately. It's something I've been trying to do over the last 3 seasons. He did have withdrawls. He was not joking at all. Caron says he feels better and more energetic.
The Wizards started off this season with a win over Dallas. Gilbert Arenas is back from his injury. Caron told us that Gilbert is not talking to the media as much and is "more explosive than I've ever seen him."

Text Contest

"Romey, the worst thing about Portland...it's not bums or rabbits on leashes. Dude, it's Chad!"

Triple U Sponsor: "When you drop an ice cube in your kitchen and you can't find it. Then you step over the wet spot an hour later in you socks." Emilio Textavez

Actual Triple U (Unfunny, Uninspired, Unreadable text of the day): "Enough talk about rabbits, Rome. It's time that you talked about some other furry creatures with buck teeth. Us! Yours, the Rat Family."

Result: "You're BLOCKED! Your BLOCKED! What do you expect me to say?"
