Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Jim is back from vacation. "Nice to be back," he started.
Tiger Woods
The Tiger Woods incident was a big topic of the show today. Tiger was in a single car acccident just outside his home in Florida last week.
Woods made a statement on his website saying it was his fault and his wife acted courageously.
Rome's take : "If you're looking for Eldrick to come correct, to just own it, to tell you what really happened when he bounced his car off a fire hydrant and a tree and his wife took a club to his back windshield...you'll be waiting a helluva long time...that is never going to happen...This guy has never said anything about anything related to golf. You can't get this guy to talk about his round...a guy who named his yacht 'privacy'...The guy's obviously not going to talk...Never has, never will...There still are plenty of questions...He doesn't have to answer the media's questions. But, if he doesn't they'll keep looking for the answers themselves and if they uncover something, he's going to look even worse than if he just owned it himself from the beginning."
NFL
Pittsburgh Steelers
Hines Ward...Jim commented on his toughness, then said, "...but it was the shots that he was throwing around before the game in a sit down with NBC and Bob Costas that made the biggest impression...It appeared he was throwing those shots at his own guy, his own quarterback. Hines Ward told Bob Costas that the Steelers locker room was 50-50 about whether Roethlisberger should play in that game or not...Was he questioning his quarterback's toughness or was he questioning his teams decision to shut him down and not let him play in a big game?"
Vince Young
The Titans are undefeated since Young was named the starter. Jim talked about the turn around both he and the team have made.
Thanksgiving Take
Rome: "There's not a Thanksgiving where there's not at least one family disagreement or episode, right? ...words get exchanged...somebody stomps out...maybe pops or uncle screams, 'get the coats, we're leaving'...Uncle Joe, I know you're a bottle and a half of wine in..."
College Football
News came in that Charlie Weis had been fired a coach at Notre Dame.
Jim said, "Why?"
USC vs UCLA
In the waning seconds of the game, up 21-7, USC took a knee. UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel calls a timeout. USC then throws a bomb for a touchdown. Rome thought it was funny, but also a bad play by UCLA that may haunt them in the long run.
Guests
Mike Simms-Walker (Jacksonville Jaguars)
He reacted to Jim's question about getting over their last loss, saying he already had. Apparently he's dealt with a lot tougher things. He had a knee injury that kept him out his entire rookie year. Then last year had sprained ligaments in his other knee and was also hospitalized with a staph infection. Even tougher was first the stabbing death of his best friend then the death of his father shortly after. It was a very difficult time that left him feeling like he didn't even want to play football. Time and the rememberance of good things about his friend and father helped him and he is now having a break out year.
Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay Packers)
The Packers have won 3 straight and are 7-4. Aaron said he is excited about the direction they are going. He later talked about learning from his experiences. He said getting humbled helped strengthen his character. Rome mentioned Aaron is taking less punishment than earlier in the year. Rodgers credits better protection, getting the ball out quicker, and play selection with the turn around.
Melvin Bullet (Indianapolis Colts)
Even down 17-0 to the Texans, Melvin wasn't convinced they would lose their last game. He says they feel like they can come back on anybody. He defined "Colt's ball" (defensively) as "...We want to run and we want to hit...flying around hitting people all over the field."
Melvin later told the story of teammate Jacob Lacey and himself being high school teammates that not only made the NFL as unsigned free agents, but are both on the Colts.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Chad in Portland and Gavin Dawson from the Portland affiliate guest hosted the show today.
Gavin opened with a welcome and when he went ot Chad, the sound clip from J.D. in Nashville was played..."It's Chad." Then Chad came on and greeted Gavin and the audience. Gavin explained that he was the "radio guy" trying to "prevent Chad from really getting us fired, suspendeed, maybe fined, uh, for stuff that, you know...you're very familiar with it."
Chad responded shortly after with, "...I am the first ever clone to become E mailer, to show caller, to Smackoff participant, to show guest, and now sitting in for the "pimp in the box".
They announced that in the eleven o'clock hour they would have Magic Johnson as a guest. Then Chad will give a "State of the Jungle" address.
Most of the sports they covered was Oregon oriented.
"The Civil War"
Oregon vs Oregon State is coming up in 8 days and is for a trip to the Rose Bowl. Gavin said, "It is thee biggest football game in the history of this state.
Portland Trailblazers
Brandon Roy is the best "2" guard outside of Kobe Bryant and Dwayne Wade in their opinion.
Greg Oden is not a bust! Gavin took exception with clones referring to Oden as that in the past. He said, "...Dave in St. Louis...big old double bird for you today buddy, alright...Greg Oden's not a bust."
Callers
"Trapper" called. He mentioned NASCAR, Notre Dame, and..."Tramps like us".
Dave in Albany called. One of his topics was...Trapper. Addressing him, Dave said, "The Geico Caveman called. He wants his look back."
Guests
Mike Riley (Oregon State Coach)
He grew up in Corvallis. He says it's unbelievable to be coaching the Beavers. He said his team kept persevering this year and "fought back to have another great opportunity." They spoke of Oregon State having few turnovers this year. Key was Jacquizz Rodgers, who hasn't fumbled in 2 years. Mike spoke of the need for discipline and "assignment" football when defending Oregon's option offense.
Mike Bellotti (Oregon Athletic Director)
Mike was the football coach until this season. Gavin asked if he left too early since they are a win away from the Rose Bowl. Mike said other people have said that, but he feels the timing was right for the change. Mike does do color commentary for the games. He says it's "the most fun part of my job, honestly."
Michael Lombardi (National Football Post)
He was asked about Charlie Weis and the "Bellichick tree". Michael said the difference between Bill Bellichick and most of his "disciples" is the ability to evaluate. Michael doesn't feel Weis has done a great job of "selecting the talent level that comes with Notre Dame."
Chad asked what the problem is with the Denver Broncos, who have lost 4 in a row. "I think people have detected what they do offensively. They are more of a sideways offense than they are a vertical offense", Michael said.
Magic Johnson
Gavin gave a long introduction ...then the "Rick Roll" song was played. No Magic Johnson! "Yeah, like that was going to happen", they said.
State of the Jungle
Chad simply gave his opinion of other clones and their song parodies. He doesn't like them....while his produced soundbytes are "Great radio production".

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Jim Rome is on Vacation
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Today's guest host was Dave "Softy" Mahler from Seattle.
Dave began the show with the NFL. The NFL and college football topics dominated the show.
Former NFL coaches available to be hired according to Dave:
Bill Cowher
Mike Shanahan
Brian Billick
Mike Holmgren
Jon Gruden
NFL QB's
Dave cited the amazing play of some quarterbacks this year.
Peyton Manning
Brett Favre
Drew Brees
Tom Brady
Philip Rivers
NFL MVP "race"
Daves takes:
Brett Favre - QB rating over 140 against the Seahawks
Fewest INT's so far
Passer rating of 122.8 when the ball travels over 21 yards in the
air. (NFL average is 62.8)
112 QB rating (NFL average is 83.7)
Also, Dave is amazed that Brett is doing this at age 40. He said, "I can make a serious case that Brett Favre is the best player in the NFL ...and that he should be the MVP this year."
Peyton Manning : "Phenomenal"
Drew Breees : "Unbelievable"
Tom Brady : "Does it all"
College Football
Heisman Trophy
Boise State QB Kellon Moore was brought up. He is one of the leading QB's in the country stat-wise. Dave says he won't get the Heisman because he has only played one BCS team this year.
Dave's 3 finalists: 1. Colt McCoy, QB Texas
2. Mark Ingram, RB Alabama
3. Toby Gerhart, RB Stanford
Notre Dame
Charlie Weis is apparently on his way out as Notre Dame coach according to Dave, who said, "He doesn't want to have anything to do with Notre Dame."
Dave said Weis said things like, "I'd understand if they fired me...My wife can't even go to games..."
Guests
Ross Tucker (Sports Illustrated)
Ross leans toward Peyton Manning for MVP at this point, saying, "...He's done more with less...They can't run the football whatsoever...We lean away from Peyton because we're so used to this...almost every year you've grown so accustom to this level of excellence from Peyton...although Brett Favre has been utterly amazing..." Ross thinks there will be drama during the off season again with Brett Favre. He also spoke about Mike Holmgren and Vince Young during the interview.
Steve Sarkisian (Washinton Huskies Football Coach)
This is his first year as head coach. The Huskies are 3-7. Steve says they are an improved team that has gained the respect of their opponents. He feels they had 3 or 4 games where they had a chance to win late in the game but came up short. "That's the difference between being a 7-3 team and a 3-7 team", Steve said. He told us they are a young team and added, "I think we'll get better in time and hopefully those wins come in time where we're competing for a conference championship."

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Jim started, "No joke. I am coming out of my shoes. Maybe it's a Friday...Maybe it's a getaway Friday. Alvin, do it! Do it now! The "Quad Yeah" clip is played...3 times!
Jim then welcomed everyone, laid out the show's guests, and gave the phone number, E mail address, and the text number.
NFL
Miami vs Carolina
The Dolphins are still in the hunt for the playoffs. Ricky Williams had a great game.
Rome's take : "This guy's incredible. His driver's license may say 32, but he's balling like he's 22...He's leading from the front and smoking fools...Guys are not supposed to change. They never do, but Ricky has. And the new Rick is about eating organic, toting the rock, and trucking dudes...I mean this sincerely : total respect."
Jimmy Kimmel Live
Marv Albert and a PR guy got into it, allegedly, with 50 Cent adn his crew backstage of the Kimmel Show.
Jim's take : "...They didn't recognize Marv...and the next thing you know obscenities and fists are flying...allegedly. He then added, "...Some of this is on Jimmy's booking staff. I mean, you can't put Marv's crew in the same room as 50's. What do you think is going to happen?...You wouldn't put JayZ in the same green room as Dick Stockton, would you? No way! Just like back in the day...there is no way you would ever book NWA the same night you have Vin Scully and his posse in the house. Someone's going to get hurt...You don't want my man, Chuck D. and Public Enemy within 50 miles of John Madden."
E mail on the subject: "Hey Rome. How about the oldest of the old school rivalries when Howard Cosell used to throw down with Grand Master Flash and the Furious 5 all by himself and not even lose his toupee." Matt in Nashville
(This led to the next topic.)
Al Michaels
Jim replayed a clip of Al Michaels recounting being with Howard Cosell when he told there limo driver to pull over when they saw a street fight. Howard got out and approached the 2 guys fighting and the 5 that were watching and said, "Now listen here. It's quite apparent to this veteran observer that the young southpaw does not have the jab requisite to the continuation of this fray. And furthermore, his opponent is clearly a man of inferior and diminishing skills. This altercation is halted poste haste."
Next Week
As mentioned yesterdeay, Jim is off next week. Wednesday's guest host will be a man who, with his cohost, does a morning show for the Portland affiliate. This guy has called and E mailed the show often. He likes to crack on Earvin "Magic" Johnson. He is ......Chad in Portland.
Guests
Jameer Nelson (Orlando Magic)
He just had knee surgery Wednesday! He hurt that knee on Monday in a game, but it had been bothering him for a few weeks. Tonight the Magic will play the Celtics. It is an important game. In regards to last season's Finals, Jameer said he would still come back from injury a little early if he had to do it over again. This year their defense has been subpar. This has gotten coach Stan Van Gundy upset.
Charles Woodson (Green Bay Packers)
Jim said Charles was "everywhere" on Sunday against the Cowboys...blitzing, covering wide outs, covering Tight Ends, and helping out in run support. Charles likes that better than lining up on the outside, then being taken out of the game. He loves the new scheme put in by Dom Capers. Also, Charles voiced support for QB Aaron Rogers. Of his alma mater, Michigan, Woodson said he has been concerned all season about the team. He thinks coach Rich Rodriguez may need more time to see his system succeed.
Trevor Price (Baltimore Ravens)
The Ravens are 5-4. They started by discussing sacks and whether or not guys keep track of their sacks. Rome then asked, "What was with the Guitar Hero sack dance Monday night?" Trevor says he plays guitar, has been in an "awful" punk band, and plays Guitar Hero with his kids. Of Peyton Manning, Trevor said,"...He'll take a sack, now. He'll take it like a man...then he got up and threw a touchdown."

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
"YEAH!"(followed by a "Quad Yeah). Then, "I'm not going to lie. Sometimes I do that to jump start myself. It works, too, man," Jim said as he opened the show.
NFL
Cleveland Browns
Rome started, "You know, I owe coach ManGustus an apology." Jim had got on Browns coach, Eric Mangini for calling the crazy lateral play that got Josh Cribbs hurt. Then, "...one problem. The play did not come from the sideline. Quarterback Brady Quinn made the call at the line himself. So, ManGustus, I sincerely apologize for putting all of that on you. My bad."
Raiders
Quarterback JaMarcus was benched. Rome asked, "Have they officially given up on JaMarcus Russell and is he now in that Ryan Leaf class of biggest draft busts ever?...They're (Raiders) a mess, too."
College Football
Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh says going for 2 against USC was not personal.
Rome: "Right Jim, no more personal then saying, 'Screw you'. Because that's what you're saying when you go for 2 and you're up by 4 touchdowns with under 7 minutes to go."
Soccer
Jim shocked the clones, "Something really strange happened to me last night watching World Cup qualifying soccer. I'm not sure you are going to like what I have to say about this...That's why I put off saying it..."
We were left hanging and Jim said he would get to it later.
E mail on the subject: "Rome. Rome. Don't do it. Don't you do it! Don't say you're getting into soccer, man. I have been a fan for years, dude. If you say you enjoyed a soccer match, then you should give yourself the Manual Buzzer over and over and over again. Then you should blast yourself with Greg in Sun Valley's buzzer a couple of times just for good measure. Don't go there, Rome. Don't do it. Yours, the Clones." Ugly Bob in 96 South Carolina absolute soccer hater.
Andre Agassi Interview from Jim Rome is Burning.
Jim played the interview he did with Andre on his TV show. In it, Andre said he was given a 2nd chance and he has committed himself to atoning for what he's felt very ashamed for in his life. His school is one way he does that. He said the book is another, hoping it will help others.
In 1997, he was depressed. When someone offered him Meth, he saw it as a way out and he took it.
Much reaction came in about the interview. Many, as well as Jim, felt that Andre was being truthful and sincere.
Soccer Topic
Jim revisited it in the 3rd hour. "After all this time, I get it! I really do.........
Sure I DON'T!...AAAHHH!! (followed by a clip of the "Rick Roll" song). Then, "Soccer sucks...and that day's never coming."
Guests
Dave Wannstedt (Pittsburgh football)
Pittsburgh is 9-1 for the first time since 1983. Jim asked of Dave's patience in trying to turn the program around. Dave said the players already there were Pitt guys like he is and he wanted to give each of them an opportunity to stay with the program. They are seeing 4th and 5th year players having a lot of success due to not being given up on.
Jay Glazer (Fox Sports)
Jim asked him about the Browns. Jay said Eric Mangini doesn't treat his guys like men. Also, Jay says, "...gameplan(wise), stuff they're doing over there also doesn't seem to make an awful lot of sense..." Of practices, Jay commented, "...the guys are exhausted. He's running these practices 3 hours and 25 minutes...Why?...it ain't working."
Later, they talked about NFLers going to Jay (with Randy Couture) for MMA training.
Jason Kidd (Dallas Mavericks)
They are 9-3 and in 1st place in the Southwest. Jason is 16 years in. He feels the changes the team made have been good. Players have stepped up when others got injured. Jason also credits Dirk Nowitski for raising his defensive level of play. Rome brought up Jason recently saying he would rather lose a step and know what he knows. "I'll take knowledge..." he said.
Text Contest
"War Boris Becker blowing kisses to Marty while playing Rome." Justin in Canton
"Unwar cold showers. Van Smack! I started to cut my toughness groove this morning. It was freaking horrific. I think the reason Mac can do it is because he has no lettuce."
"War Molel Cow, The Wooden and Laconic Autobiography of Jason Stewart and war Mel's autobiography being a coloring book." Jerr in Denver

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
"A tremendous Wednesday to you", Jim started. He then directed the audience to http://www.jimrome.com/ where voting is taking place for segments to be played on the "Clones Choice" best of show on Friday, November 27, 2009. Voting is only taking place through this Friday.
Notre Dame Football
Rome said coming off 2 losses, the question for Notre Dame football is, "Is Charlie Weis going to get a 6th year?" Weis himself said he thinks no decision has been made yet.
Rome's take : "...He's been given a fair shot and he just hasn't gotten it done. Five years is more than enough time...beating UConn and Stanford, if he does, should not save his job...look at the body of work."
College Basketball
Miami of Ohio Coach Charlie Coles "...did something really awesome." A reporter asked him how they let the lead in the game against #4 ranked Kentucky get away from them. Coles was not happy and went on a little rant. Jim said it was a "Perfect mix of sarcasm, condescension, and disdain. As podium meltdowns go, this one is an all-timer."
Clones' Choice Friday
This was a big topic today. Rome said there are 50 segment choices on his website and you can vote for 3 each time you vote. He went over the list on the show today.
E mail on the subject: "Hey Rome. There must be a mistake. I don't see
me in your Clones' Choice list. Signed Larry B."
Mark Mangino
He is the University of Kansas football coach. Jim said, "He has major problems at Kansas." He reportedly got into a player, poked him in the chest, and verbally berated him. The university is looking into it. Jason Whitlock wrote in a column, "...All this guys problem begin with him being overweight." Rome asked, "Is the guy angry and negative and abusive because he's extremely overweight?"
Buffalo Bills
They fired coach Dick Jauron.
Jim's take : "Hard to argue with that. The guy was 24-33. He was 5-14 in his lasts 19 game. Understand this, he's not the problem. At least not the real problem, and firing him is not going to make that team better...Right now, the Bills are as jacked up as an organization as the Browns and the Raiders. In fact the Browns and the Raiders think those guys are disfunctional."
Jon Bon Jovi
The singer admitted to using steroids years ago.
Rome, "Come to find out that Jon was a roiding rocker..." Jim went on to say sarcastically, "Do we have to look at this guy totally differently?...Do I have to hit his entire catalog with an asterisk now? He was cheating. Wasn't he?"
Caller
Long time texter "Emilio Textavez" mad his first phone call to the show. Jim said before taking the call that it often does not turn out well when texters or E mailers call the show. "Textavez" said his main reason for calling was to riquest to be put in Jim's "Sapphire Club". (After Rome's favorite Bombay Sapphire Gin). He made comments about drinking and "braiding armpit hair"...AAAHHH!!! He got run!
Guests
Brandon Jenings (Milwaukee Bucks)
He went from High School to Europe to the NBA. He is averaging 25.5 points a game and recently scored 55 against the Golden State Warriors. He is the youngest player ever to score 50 or more points in an NBA game. Brandon said the plan coming in the season for him was to get his teammates involved and play defense. But he had also been working on his shot. That work started in Europe and continues now with 700 to 800 shot practice days. He spoke of his time in Europe. He liked travelling to different countries, but his playing time in games was limited.
Tito Ortiz (MMA fighter)
He started by saying he is a fan of the show. Tito hasn't fought in a year and a half due to injuries. He has had back problems for years. Also, he dealt with partial tears in his ACL and MCL in his knee. He spoke of his "punishment" style of fighting. He is not looking to win round by round or by submission. He wants to land elbows, takedowns, punches, kicks...whatever it takes to win by knockout or referee stoppage. Tito also said he is thankful for his success. He spoke of his backround, saying, "I was a kid who came from the streets...I had 3 choices in life: dead, prison, or where I am right now."
Eric Weddle (San Diego Chargers)
They started 2-3 but are now 6-3. Eric said going into the bye week after a bad loss to Pittsburgh, they "manned up" and decided what they were doing at that point in the season wasn't good enough. That was the start of their turnaround. He also said the defense is now executing better, and coming together, and trusting each other. Of facing Brandon Marshall when they play Denver, Eric said they would challenge him, get into his face, and try to take away his routes and sets and make him work for everything.

"A tremendous Wednesday to you", Jim started. He then directed the audience to http://www.jimrome.com/ where voting is taking place for segments to be played on the "Clones Choice" best of show on Friday, November 27, 2009. Voting is only taking place through this Friday.
Notre Dame Football
Rome said coming off 2 losses, the question for Notre Dame football is, "Is Charlie Weis going to get a 6th year?" Weis himself said he thinks no decision has been made yet.
Rome's take : "...He's been given a fair shot and he just hasn't gotten it done. Five years is more than enough time...beating UConn and Stanford, if he does, should not save his job...look at the body of work."
College Basketball
Miami of Ohio Coach Charlie Coles "...did something really awesome." A reporter asked him how they let the lead in the game against #4 ranked Kentucky get away from them. Coles was not happy and went on a little rant. Jim said it was a "Perfect mix of sarcasm, condescension, and disdain. As podium meltdowns go, this one is an all-timer."
Clones' Choice Friday
This was a big topic today. Rome said there are 50 segment choices on his website and you can vote for 3 each time you vote. He went over the list on the show today.
E mail on the subject: "Hey Rome. There must be a mistake. I don't see
me in your Clones' Choice list. Signed Larry B."
Mark Mangino
He is the University of Kansas football coach. Jim said, "He has major problems at Kansas." He reportedly got into a player, poked him in the chest, and verbally berated him. The university is looking into it. Jason Whitlock wrote in a column, "...All this guys problem begin with him being overweight." Rome asked, "Is the guy angry and negative and abusive because he's extremely overweight?"
Buffalo Bills
They fired coach Dick Jauron.
Jim's take : "Hard to argue with that. The guy was 24-33. He was 5-14 in his lasts 19 game. Understand this, he's not the problem. At least not the real problem, and firing him is not going to make that team better...Right now, the Bills are as jacked up as an organization as the Browns and the Raiders. In fact the Browns and the Raiders think those guys are disfunctional."
Jon Bon Jovi
The singer admitted to using steroids years ago.
Rome, "Come to find out that Jon was a roiding rocker..." Jim went on to say sarcastically, "Do we have to look at this guy totally differently?...Do I have to hit his entire catalog with an asterisk now? He was cheating. Wasn't he?"
Caller
Long time texter "Emilio Textavez" mad his first phone call to the show. Jim said before taking the call that it often does not turn out well when texters or E mailers call the show. "Textavez" said his main reason for calling was to riquest to be put in Jim's "Sapphire Club". (After Rome's favorite Bombay Sapphire Gin). He made comments about drinking and "braiding armpit hair"...AAAHHH!!! He got run!

Jim Rome Clone Report
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
MNF
Ravens vs Browns
Rome started, "the best thing I can say about that game...is the game is over. I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that that is the last Monday Night game we're going to see for the Browns in a very long time. Boy, that was some game, wasn't it? 0-0 at halftime." Of the last play of the game, Jim added, "Could anybody other than the Browns get their only good player hurt on the final play of a game? ...A play that was not going to affect the outcome of that game?" Josh Cribbs got hurt after a lateral.
E mail on the subject:
"Dear Cleveland, BOHICA, regards, Art streaming in Buffalo." Mike in Chicago (BOHICA sound byte was played.)
Bill Bellichick
He is defending his decision to go for it on 4th and 2 late in the game against the Colts. He said the call gave them the best chance to win. Rome disagreed, "I don't think it's the worst decision ever. I just wouldn't have done it. I think it's the wrong call."
Charlie Weis
Jim said Weis has a big problem, "...and if he loses to U Conn he'll be looking for a new job. If he beats U Conn and loses to Stanford, he may still be looking for a new job."
NBA
Allen Iverson
Rome, "Pretty shocked to see that Memphis/Allen Iverson thing didn't work out...I'm surprised it lasted 3 games...what a disgrace, 3 games."
College Basketball
UCLA loses to Cal State Fullerton at Pauley Pavilion! Cal State Fullerton is J. Stew's alma mater. Jim said, "That's rock bottom....Huge week fo Fullerton. J.Stew smashes ratings marks. Fullerton goes into Pauley and does the Bruins....Keep balling, weaklings! ...Congrats, Stew."
E mail on J. Stew
"Hey Rome. I just watched that clip on jimrome.com. What the hell was that? J.Stew barely moved his lips, but he sounded like he was yelling. I love how the camera panned up from his gut to his moley face. Pure awesomeness!"
Clones Choice
Jim is off next week. The Friday after Thanksgiving will be a "Best Of" show. The audience will be able vote at http://www.jimrome.com/ for segments to be played on air that day.
E mail on the subject:
"Hey Rome. Clones get to program the show? Sounds like we're going to have to get ourselves ready. Regards, "Come on Rachel shave your back", "Kyle's house hunting story", Carl in Rosemead's bomb", "and personal appearance quick hitters". Greg in Tampa.
Jim's response : "No. There is not going to be a write in category. You choose from the list I give you."
Bud Adams
The Tennessee Titan's owner was fined $250,000 for giving a "double bird" to fans at Buffalo. Jim, "A quarter mil? ...If he had gone single bird, would it be a buck and a quarter? .....You've got to love an 86 year old guy who still gets that fired up, on his feet, in a luxury box, during a victory dropping that double bird...As funny as that is, you just can't do that."
Guests
Chris Bosh (Toronto Raptors)
Toront is 5-5 so far. He called the past off season the most important of his career. Chris said he was inspired after the Olympics, but felt he came up short in the NBA season. He said, "I wanted to work as hard as possible because I felt I wasn't really reaching my maximum potential at the time...I want to keep it up. Consistency has been a weakness on mine." He talked of weight workouts and getting stronger. He plans to get into the paint more this year.
Chris will be a free agent after this season. In considering a team, he said he is looking to win. He wants to win a championship.
Leon Hall (Cincinnati Bengals)
The Bengals are 7-2 and in first place in the AFC North. Leon has 4 interceptions. He said the game they just had with Pittsburgh was one of the most physical he's played in. Jim asked Leon about the team's turnaround from last year. Leon said it started with off season workouts in March. People were working hard and a trust and comraderie developed and grew.
Text Contest
"Unwar the tool that yells 'job opening' when they hear a dish break in the kitchen of a restaurant." Emilio Textavez...making my phone call debut tomorrow.
"Hey Rome. We remember you giving Royal Punisher the double guns when he finished DFL. Signed the Clones." Jim responded, "No, I didn't..."
Triple U sponsor : "People who still call their kicks 'sneakers'."
Actual Triple U : #1 "Hey Rome. 5 Hour Energy has no crash later? Can I get one of those? Signed,
Princess Di's driver."
Response : "You can do whatever the hell you want, Ken, but you're BLOCKED!"

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Jim started with...
NFL
Colts beat the Patriots. The story was the decision near the end of the game by Patriots coach Bill Bellick to go for it on 4th and 2 on their own 28 with a 6 point lead.
Rome's take : "That's the wrong call, period. That's a terrible call that is killing every guy in that locker room right now... You can't tell me that his defense isn't still seething right now...He disrespected his defense...That's not a slap in the face. That's a groin shot...to his own guys...They're not going to forget that anytime soon.
Haiku on the subject: They should have punted
Colt's ball on the twenty eight
Doggy Dog..not wait! (Thee Francis in Glendale)
USC loses to Stanford
The question is out there..."What happeneds to USC?"
Jim's answer : "Stanford got out of the bus, walked onto their field, and started punching them in the face...and kept doing it for 60 minutes. That's what happened to USC....Trojan fan is in a catatonic state."
Jim also commented, "One more note...Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh...They hate each other..." Harbaugh went for a 2 point conversion to a TD that had already put Stanford up 48-21. Reportedly, after the game, at midfield, Pete Carroll asked Harbaugh, "What's your deal?" Harbaugh responded, "What's YOUR deal?"
Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto
Rome, "Manny Pacquiao 'Rag Dolled' Miguel Cotto...Pacquiao can take a shot from a true welterweight. Cotto was alright, just outclassed, but alright. ...not good enough, not fast enough. Pacquiao vs Mayweather has to happen."
Zenyatta
Jim went to see some of his horses and ended up meeting Breeders Cup winner Zenyatta. Jim said the horse "posed" for pictures.
Jaguars vs Jets
Maurice Jones-Drew took a knee at the 1 yard line trailing by 2 late in the game. He wanted to keep the clock running. They were then were able to take more time off the clock and get the field goal for the win.
Jim's take : "Smart football. Classic team first, unselfish play. Coolest play of his career, I think."
Jim then cracked on Fantasy Football players and how that hurt them, saying, "...We don't care....Playing Fantasy Football is one thing. But if you win your Fantasy league, you're a loser....If you win you're spending all your time on it."
E mail
"Dear Rome, we are also off next week, and the week after that, and so on and so forth. Yours, Detroit." "Ugly Bob" in 96 South Carolina.
Jim said, "..UB. You're better than that...Actually, you're not ...You are what you E mail me....The only thing you've got working right now...Kyle Brandt and Phil Guidry like your E mails and texts."
J Stew's appearance on Everything She Ever Wanted.
The ratings were high! Producer Stan Brooks sent an E mail saying the numbers on Saturday tied for the highest rating on that network this year.
Rome : " Stew rates. Stew moves the needle."
Guests
Kevin Mawae (Tennessee Titans)
They started 0-6, but have won 3 in a row. Kevin said the only change made during the bye week was the QB change. (Which came down from the owner.) Kevin did say, however, that the whole team wasn't getting it done the first 6 games. Jim asked him about Vince Young. Kevin said Vince has matured and learned from his troubles and his time on the bench.
Chris Mannix (SI.com)
He came on to talk about the Manny Pacquiao/Miguel Cotto fight. Chris said it was, by far, the best fight he has seen since he's been covering boxing. He was surprised hew Manny held up to Cotto's power. Also, of the last few round Chris said, "Absolutely disgraceful that the corner did not stop the fight. They should be ashamed and never be allowed to be a corner man again."
Text Contest
"Unwar anybody over the age of 4 who doesn't know how to swim."
"Hey Rome. Going for it on 4th and 2, on your own 28, is a great decision. Sincerely, the tool that gets married at 21." Charles in the 404
"Rome, the Hoodie really needs to work on his post game etiquette. Sincerely LaGarrette Blount." Josh in Bend
"Doggy Dog. Fantasy geeks are tools. Signed Guitar Hero loser." Kurt in San Antonio
Triple U sponsor: "Hey Rome, when you let somebody borrow your car and they return it with an empty tank of gas."
Actual Triple U : "Hey Jim. What is this 'off putting' ? It sounds delish. Signed Bill Self. What? I didn't want to be blocked!" Shane in Marshall Town
Result : "Well, you are. You're BLOCKED!

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
[Note: I am on another roadie. I travelled north from the LA, California area and listened to the show on first the Bakersfield affiliate, then the Visalia affiate, and finally the Fresno affiliate, 1340am. The signal died around 11:30am Pacific. My apologies for missing the Text Contest (if there was one). Also, many of the quotes are paraphrased.]
Summary of Friday's Jim Rome Show
Jim started off with a "Quad Yeah!", then asked engineer, Alvin Delloro, to make it an "Ocho Yeah!" (the sound clip played twice). Then, "Can I get a 12?!" He continued, "I'm feeling it. Zero Tolerance Friday. Come strong."
Thursday NFL game
49ers vs Bears
Jay Cutler consistently "found the open man. The DB, the Safety, the D-lineman.....What a freaking disaster."
Jim then commented that maybe Denver Broncos coach, Josh McDaniels, was right. At least Kyle Orton protects the ball. The phrase "reserve the right to kick" (in the red zone) came up. Finally, Jim said, "Where is Rex Grossman when you need him?"
NBA
Miami Heat
Jim commented on a monster dunk by Dwayne Wade in a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He said, "There's dunking on a guy. Then there's that!" Also, Lebron James was quoted, "...probably a top 10 dunk of all time."
LA Lakers
The Lakers are off to a good start. Rome thinks they look better than last years Championship team even with Pau Gasol injured. He said, "Time to give the Lakers some 'bleeping' credit." (Referencing a Phil Jackson quote from last year.) Jim gave a lot of credit to the play of Andrew Bynum.
College Football
Tennessee Volunteers
Rome said coach Lane Kiffin had told recruits that players that go to South Carolina end up working at gas stations. Rome added, "Well, players at Tennessee rob guys at gas stations." Three Tennessee players were accused of doing just that. Interestingly, the victim of the crime wants the players to still be able to play for the team. He is quoted, "That's Tennessee. That's the way it is sometimes." His name is Cory Zickefoose and Rome made him a member of the Sapphire club for this! Rome said, however, that "Lane Kiffin will come down hard on the players involved. He has to."
Callers
Jeff in Richmond
Yes, thee Jeff in Richmond made his triumphant return to the Jungle! Jim reset who Jeff was and said he had been away for a while, probably attending to his "10 Acre Estate".
Jeff came on and cracked on recent callers and especially "softball Canada Clones", saying, "Step yo game up!" He cracked on "Trapp ERRR! Then he told us he had an "Elite wrestling and MMA backround". We were then warned to "Never...and I mean EVER!!! disrespect a UFC fighter.
Trapper
He called in and referenced "30 pieces of silver" and signed out with "Tramps like us."
An E mailer wrote in saying that Trapper's voice was shaking and he was either on a Shiatsu massager or "That was Katherine Hepburn calling in pretending to be Trapper."
Guests
Gary Patterson (TCU Football Coach)
They are undefeated and ranked #4 in the country. Gary said the upcoming game with Utah is probably the biggest home game in 25 years. He told us the players have handled the situation and scrutiny of being undefeated well. They had a tough loss last year to Utah, 13-10. Gary feels that experience will help them in this years game. Jim brought up Gary's small town upbringing. He comes from a town of 175 people. He said, "A lot of great people come from small towns."
Gina Gershon (Actress)
She is the star of the TV miniseries "Everything She Ever Wanted" that J. Stew has a part in. It is about an "out of control murdering sexpot" according to Rome. Gina said it was an interesting role. It is based on a true story. When portraying real life people, Gina said she likes to meet the person. In this case, it was not done. The subject was still in jail at the time of shooting the movie.
Jim asked "thee" question: "How does J. Stew compare to some of the other stars that Gina has worked with? Gina said J. Stew was somewhere between Stallone and Tom Cruise.
Jim also reset producer Stan Brooks coming on the Jim Rome Show a few months back to redo the audio of J. Stew's lines, saying the original takes were not loud enough. Gina said, "I think he should have left well enough alone.....I'm going to have to have a word with Stan about that."

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Jim started with the show contact information as well as saing that today's text contest winner will, as yesterday, win a Shiatsu massager.
NBA
Rome, "Memo to my media brethen: Stop asking the King, Lebron James about his impending free agency. Apparently, he is sick of talking about it!" He then quoted Lebron, "...I think tonight will probably be the last time I answer any free agincy questions until the off season..."
Rome's take : "What do you mean, it's getting old? You were holding court on that very topic before last night's game..."
Mike Tyson
Mike Tyson got into a scuffle with a paparazzi at Los Angeles International Airport. The paparazzi ended up cut and they both made "citizen's arrests" of each other.
Jim's take : "Who takes Mike Tyson's picture with out Mike Tyson's permission? ...Somebody crazier than Mike, that's who! Somebody with a death wish...in other words, 2 hits : 1.Mike's fist slamming into your face. 2. You hitting the ground...look, to be fair, I wasn't there.....How did the photog assault Mike?"
Notre Dame
Notre Dame is calling out Navy.
Rome, "...Now they're calling Navy out for being dirty. If you can believe that. And I can't." Later, he added, "Hey coach, you want some cheese to go with that wine?"
Callers
Joe in the OC called. He's been a Smack Off participant. Today he referenced Sammy Sosa, Donald Sterling, and Greg Norman. Then...the music came on. Out of time. Jim said he hoped he would get better calls than that later.
"Parody Patrick" called the show. He gave himself that name. He sang a song parody about the Mike Tyson incident to the tune of "Tie a Yellow Ribbon"...AAAAHHHH!!! Manual Buzzer! This set Jim off! He put an end to callers coming in with song parodies. "Don't sing to me on this show anymore. That's the end of that. We're done with song parodies, at least for the foreseeable future." Jim said.
Guests
Sidney Rice (Minnesota Vikings)
The Vikings are 7-1. He is their leading receiver. Jim said Brett Favre said that Sidney is his guy. Sidney said he communicates a lot with Brett, and says he is like a player and a coach. Jim asked if Brett at 40 still has that "Rocket Arm"? Sidney said, "Yes, he does." Jim brought up Sidney's off season workouts. One was with Larry Fitzgerald and Cris Carter. Rice leaned a lot from those two guys. Another was with Marion Barber. That one was more physically demanding.
Shane Battier (Houston Rockets)
Houston is 5-3 so far this year. The team has a different look with Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady injured and Ron Artest having been traded. Shane says they are a young team and the shortest team in the NBA by far. He said, "Our center is 6'6"....We have an amazingly quick team....Our motto this year is 'attack, attack, attack, push it, push it, shoot 3's, shoot 3's'." Jim asked, "Can you play the course of a long season that way?" Shane's response, "Well, we don't really have a choice...that's the hand we've been dealt... to be honest, I don't know if we can do this for 82 games." Shane is hoping Tracy McGrady will be back soon, but says, "...he'll have to adjust to our fast play..."

Just Released! Parody of tomorrow's Gina Gershon interview.

Houston is 5-3 so far this year. The team has a different look with Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady injured and Ron Artest having been traded. Shane says they are a young team and the shortest team in the NBA by far. He said, "Our center is 6'6"....We have an amazingly quick team....Our motto this year is 'attack, attack, attack, push it, push it, shoot 3's, shoot 3's'." Jim asked, "Can you play the course of a long season that way?" Shane's response, "Well, we don't really have a choice...that's the hand we've been dealt... to be honest, I don't know if we can do this for 82 games." Shane is hoping Tracy McGrady will be back soon, but says, "...he'll have to adjust to our fast play..."

Jim Rome Clone Report
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Veteran's Day
Jim started by recognizing our nations veterans. He told us that sports are an escape and that the athletes we watch are gifted with talent but are not heroes. "No, the soldiers, and the heroes, and the warriors are those who have served and continue to serve this country. There's no greater sacrifice nor more noble profession than defending our freedom," Jim opened. He then talked of the most recent example of a man that was both an athlete and a hero: Pat Tillman.
NFL
San Francisco 49ers
Tight End Vernon Davis, most famous for being sent to the showers by coach Mike Singletary in the middle of a game, made eye catching remarks going into their game with the Chicago Bears. Of their defensive line he said, "I think we can destroy their front. The guys up front. I think we can destroy them."
Jim Rome said something has clicked for Vernon this year. He is working hard and playing hard. Rome went on, "He's gone from swoll patrol to Pro Bowler."
Boxing
Manny Pacquiao
He will be fighting this weekend for a 7th title in 7 weight classes. He recently went on Jimmy Kimmel Live and...sang! Rome didn't like it! He said Manny sounded like some guy at the Karaoke bar.
This spawned nearly 2 segments worth of "Karaoke Guy" commentary from Jim. Rome laid down 2 rules of Karaoke:
1. Don't take yourself seriously.
2. Never sing a ballad.
Jim's Dream
An E mail prompted a reset of Jim's dream regarding a moose. He said even Kyle Brandt asked him, "Yo, bro. Did the moose get loose last night? Did you have that dream again?" Jim said, "No, I don't think that will be a recurring dream."

Caller
Jim took a call from Barry in Philadelphia. Barry started to talk about Allen Iverson. Jim broke in saying that he sounded like Brendan in Wilmington. "Barry" replied, "No, I hate that guy. That guy is an idiot." Jim didn't buy it. He said if that's you, Brendan, come correct and admit it. "Barry" said, "Ok, I'll come correct. It's me. Kyle's got a vendetta against me." "AAAAHHHH!!!", was Rome's response. He got run! Jim commented, "You've got to be kidding me! How the mighty have fallen....from a Smack Off to calling as someone else...Improve your take. Don't change your name. ...change your take, not your name."
Guests
Mike Stoops (University of Arizona Football Coach)
They are 6-2 and have moved into the top 20 at #18. Jim asked how it felt. Mike said it has been an interesting 6 years. He realizes it takes time. Rome asked if getting there or staying there would be harder. Mike said staying in the top 20 would be tough. He said the Pac 10 is unique in that each team plays 9 conference games. That makes things tough in a good conference like the Pac 10. Asked about USC, Mike said that Pete Caroll has set a high standard and that has helped make the conference better.
Arizona has had to overcome a lot of injuries and illness this year. 60 players have come down with Swine Flu and one time or another. Stoops credited his coaches and players for preparing and stepping up when starters had to be replaced.
Ken Niumatalolo (Navy Head Football Coach)
"Hey Jim. Thanks for the vine," he started. Ken agreed it was great to get a win over Notre Dame just before Veteran's Day. He felt good for the young men on his team. He said none of them will play in the NFL, but they will be able to look back at that game when they beat future NFLers, perhaps when they are out on a ship patrolling the Persian Gulf. We learned that not a single Navy player got even a recruitment letter from Notre Dame.
Ken loves the Jungle. He said he listened in L.A. during recruiting trips while drinking his "In N Out" chocolate shakes.
There was a lot of positive reaction to the interview. E mails thanking the coach and especially the young men who serve and will serve in combat came in. Also, 2 veterans called into the show and thank Jim for the show, one saying his wife sent him tapes of the show while he was deployed.

Result: "You're BLOCKED!

MNF
Steelers beat Broncos
Rome commented, "The sky is not falling in Denver...They had one really bad half...Kyle Orton just happened to pick a pretty bad time to remember he's Kyle Orton...He threw 3 really bad picks..." Jim went on to say the Broncos will be fine and...Redskins week arrives just in time.
Andre Agassi
A former #1 player said that Andre Agassi should give back his money and his titles after admitting he tested positive for a banned substance and lied about it. Jim said, "...Meth did not help his career. It nearly derailed his career...If you want to crack on him for tweaking and for lying about it, so be it. But asking him to give back his titles and his money is ridiculous....Roids make you bigger, and faster, and stronger. Meth rots your teeth and you brain."
Jim's Dream
Jim told us, "I had a weird dream last night....I could have swore I was sleeping and a moose broke into my room and basically was just going to maul me...What does it mean? It can't be good, right?" In his "Hacksaw" voice Rome continued, "I ...want to hear from a psychologist! What does it mean?" Then in his own voice, "Look that up! Google that!" A psychologist did call and gave a theory that didn't really fit Rome.
Sammy Sosa
An E mail brought up the Sammy Sosa "face" story again. Jim addressed it, "...Right now I would rather talk about Sammy Sosa's face...What happened to it? Have you seen the pictures? It's turned a shade of white...I know, I know, 'Hey Rome. What happened to personal appearances are not show fodder'? They're not, although, I'll admit. I'm walking the thin line of ...hypocrisy here. He looks weird. He looks creepy. He doesn't look right...I thought what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. That should apply to Sammy's face also...The king of pop called. He wants his face back..."
Caller
Eddie in Boise called. Jim said he respects Eddies persistence. He then reset Eddie's previous calls.
1st call : "...seeing the Vikings standing on the banks of the 'What Do We Do Now' river..."
2nd call: "Hey Vine....Thanks for the vine, Rome."
Today : A call with a song parody cracking on other clones to the tune of "Copacabana"....AAAAHHH!
He got run...again! Jim said, "Well bro, you gave it a shot....Barry Manilow???...You had to know that wasn't going to fly...Wow. I'm pulling for you, but you have to give me something to work with."
Guests
Mike Freeman (Author)
His latest book is "Bowden. How Bobby Bowden forged a Football Dynasty." Jim started by asking about the two points of view regarding Bobby Bowden: 1. He should resign or retire. 2. He should be able to go out on his own terms for all he's done for Florida State University. Mike falls into the 2nd camp. Bowden is 80 years old and the program has been mediocre in recent years. Mike said, "...if he continues to lose like this , he's going to have a hard time.(staying). They also spoke of Bobby and Joe Paterno vying for the career wins record.
Mike Silver (Yahoo! Sports columnist)
They started with the Raiders and the restricted access they give to press members that upset them. This includes former Raider QB Rich Gannon. Coach Tom Cable's newest problems were discussed. He is accused of violence against women.
Drew Brees (New Orleans Saints)
The Saints are 8-0 for the first time ever. Drew said they did not play well in the 1st half against the Panthers on Sunday. Drew said both the defense and offense clicked in the 2nd half and they were able to win. He also said the team has emphasized finishing games and playing hard in the 4th quarter.
Drew is part of a national program where an NFL player takes a child to school for the day. Today, Drew took a young girl to school and spoke to the students there about physical fitness. He had a great time.
Text Contest
"Hey Jim. I would love to be on your show, but it's on here during my dinner. Signed, Bobby Bowden."
"Hey Rome. Forget the moose. What the Jungle needs is some 'Elk'. (Jim then played a clip of Jungle legend Steve Elkington.)
Triple U Sponsor: "When you get an invitation to a meeting and under the items to bring it only lists 'positive attitude'."
Actual Triple U : "Jim, you're right. Firing Bowden would be really ugly. Signed George Muresan."
Result: "You're BLOCKED!"

Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Jim is back in studio!
NFL
Dallas Cowboys
Rome,"...No matter what's going on, it's always about the Cowboys. Isn't it? ...this year. They're different...tougher, more resiliant, better chemistry...they're nasty, andy can grind, and most of all..they clutched up. They made the plays they needed to make to win a tough game. That's not something you could say about them in years past."
Green Bay Packers
Jim said, "Quick memo to the Green Bay Packers, "Uh Oh!...Not being able to handle the 'old gunslinger' is one thing. Not being able to handle Josh Freeman is another."
DeAngelo Hall
He got into it with Falcons Coach Mike Smith. He filed a complaint with Commissioner Roger Goodell because he said Mike Smith cussed him out. Yet, he is also saying, "...if you want to finish this, you know where to find me." Rome's take: "Are you going to beat his head in or are you going to tattle on him?...Which one is it?"
Chargers
Jim said, "Show me your lightning bolt! Aren't they dead? Didn't we all bury them a few weeks back? What a great win that was on the road."
MMA
Fedor knocks out Brett Rogers on Saturday. Jim's take :"Rogers looked like he was in a coma. I don't want to hear about the 'quick stoppage'."
Andre Agassi
He went on 60 Minutes over the weekend. Jim commented, "...What a master performanace...He's good. the guy is so engaging and charismatic and seemingly so sincere. He might be..."
People, his peers amongst them are asking why write that book? Why now? Rome agreed that Andre's admitted meth use was a performance inhibitor rather than an enhancer. The questions were: Is it a cash grab? Is it a publicity grab? Is it carthartic? This was a big topic today.
Zenyatta
The philly won the Breeders Classic against the boys with an amazing finish. Jim commented, "...and by finishing the race the was she did, she gave that sport a shot of adrenaline, and race fans a once in a generation moment...Honestly, it was incredible."
Guests
Mike Smith (Jockey of Zenyatta)
His great respect for Zenyatta went to another level after that race. He was a little concerned at the start of the race. The horse broke (started) with her left lead when she needed to be on her right. After he got her to her right he was confident she would run her race. It chokes Mike up to know that might have been her last race.
John Feinstein
He was shocked that tennis officials did nothing when Andre Agassi tested positive for meth. They simply accepted his explanation. John said the book will be a short term hit to Andre's image. Of "tanking" matches, John said Agassi is not the only tennis player to do that.
Text Contest
"In my upcoming biography, I will also reveal that my lettuce (hair) is fake, Signed, Shaughnessy"
"Hey Rome. You are so wrong. Meth is a performance enhancer. Just listen to my last call. Vinny Mac."
Triple U sponsor: "The dude that asks a question to the room and then says, "Don't everybody answer at
once."
Actual Triple U (Unfunny, Uninspired, Unreadable): "Hey Jim. I know my team lost to Navy. But I'll never
lose to gravy. Best, Chuck Weis"
Result : "Chris in Akron, hope you're happy with yourself. You are BLOCKED!"

In honor of the mention of Dan Shaughnessy and his "lettuce", here's a parody video.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Live from Los Angeles from Santa Anita Race Track...
Jim broadcasted today live from the site of the 2009 Breeders' Cup. He started, "We are live, trackside, right on the track. We are on the clubhouse turn. We're doing the show from the Trophy Lounge."
Jim spoke of the good weather and the beautiful setting. Royal Punisher is racing today. Jim is a part owner of the horse. The race distance is longer than he is used to. Jim warned the audience, "Don't bet this horse down." He added, "It's either going to be a party or a buzz kill."
NFL
Dallas Cowboys receiver Roy Williams spoke out again. This time he said, "...I'm not a T.O....or I'm not trying to be a T.O. I don't know why people are trying to put me in that catagory...I'm happy to win."
Rome's take : "...If you're happy to win, why are you complaining about where you're getting the ball....You're right. You're no T.O. In attitude yes, in performance no."
Trackside comment
Rome, "...Looking at Kyle Brandt hugging on my wife's friends."
Guests
Billy Koch (Little Red Feather Racing)
He is the managing partner and founder of Little Red Feather Racing and is credited by Jim for bringing him into the sport. Jim called him a good friend. On the show Billy is famous for his laugh, the tape of which is often played. Jim asked, "Ever think you'd see the day that the Jungle would be trackside at the Breeders' Cup?" Billy replied, "You know, I didn't, but I'm glad you are. It's so important for the sport...The fact that you're here...it shows other people that they, too, can get involved and get this fever...it's a massive adrenaling rush." Jim asked, "How do get that buzz for the average fan...?" Billy, "...I think what you have to do now is sell the stars, make the sport more accessible, ...simplify it." Rome asked why the star horse, Rachel Alexandra is not here. Billy said it was a blow to the sport not to have her here. He said the owner blamed the synthenic racing surface. Billy called that ridiculous, saying, "Unless she's hurt, she should be here."
Rex Chapman (Denver Nuggets VP of personnel)
He too is a horse racing enthusiast. He agreed he would rather be trackside today. Of Royal Punisher, Rex said, "...I think the Punisher's got some obstacles." (Jim replied with a Carl Lewis like,'Oh oh!') Rex continued, "He's got speed a plenty, no question...gonna go to the front but, stretching out and going against some more experienced runners." Of the undefeated philly Zenyatta, Rex commented, "...She's a female version of a Dwight Howard...she's a physical beast specimen." He agreed that Rachel Alexandra should have been here to race Zenyatta.
On the Denver Nuggets, Rex said, "It's early... We've won all our games but I don't know that we've played all that well. I'm optimistic."
Chip Woolley (Thoroughbred Trainer)
He trained Kentucky Derby winner Mind That Bird. The horse has not had a lot of success since The Derby but will run tomorrow. Chip says Mind That Bird has been working good lately..."Now he's really on his game." Asked about the racing surface, Chip responded, "...I'm no fan of the poly tracks but... I won't use an excuse to get beat." Of Zenyatta, Chip added, "I won't make any predictions. I predict she's going to run well. She's a great mare."
Greg Aviola (President of the Breeders' Cup)
Jim asked about having the Cup here for the 2nd year in a row. Greg said it's a good choice because of the expected 90,000 people that would show up over 2 days, the good weather, and the international horses that would be here. Greg said they learned from last year that they have to be more accomodating to the fans. Since then they've lowered the ticket prices and did not make people buy both days together. He further commented the best way to promote the sport is to have the best horses race each other as they will here at the Breeders' Cup.
Bob McNair (Houston Texans Owner)
He too, is a thoroughbred owner. He used to own many horses but sold them all but one. It was getting too difficult to travel to see all the horses run and run the Houston Texans. His remaining horse is named Cowboy Cal. A young cancer patient that had lived with them used to call Bob's son Cal, "Cowboy Cal". The horse was named in that young cancer patients honor.
The Texans will face the Colts this weekend. Bob is excited about that game and feels they have a chance to pull an upset.
The Race
Jim aired the race live. Royal Punisher went out fast and led just as Jim said he would. he faded after the 2nd turn and finished..."DFL"...Dead Freaking Last!
Rome, "Well, there's not going to be a party trackside. Billy Koch came on and said, "It's an experiment gone bad." Jim, "Can we start drinking?...That doesn't feel real good...After a beat down like that... I need something to pick me up." Yakety Sax was played!
Jim went on, "The truest test ever of Yakety Sax." (The song that is supposed to make any situation better.)
Lastly, "Great horse, bad distance. The Punisher will be back."
Shout Outs
