ATTENTION L.A. AREA CLONES! Represent Friday at Santa Anita!
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Jim Rome is back in L.A.
Detroit Lions
Rome said, "If I'm going to start off with and offensive lineman...then you know he said or did something strong...Dominic Raiola. He is angry." Speaking of quarterback Matthew Stafford, Raiola said, "Back him up. It's his first year here...You want him out of town already?...I've been through it with Joey...They're not going to do it with this guy. I'm going to be right here next to him." Jim commented, "That's awesome."
Florida Gators
Rome, " 'Urb' suspending Brandon Spikes for a half game....oooh. Way to swing the heavy hammer...I hate that. If you're going to suspend a guy, suspend a guy." Spikes had gouged the eye of a Georgia player.
NBA
Manu Ginobili
Jim said, "Manu Ginobili...shooting guard, ankle breaker, bat slayer." He hit a bat with his hand during a game. Jim again, "I knew the guy was quick. I knew he had handle. But, I didn't know he had THAT in him...Dude posterized a bat! How sick was it?" Manu has to undergo 16 rabies shots in the next 30 days.
Portland Appearance
Jim reset the visit to Portland yesterday. He mentioned meeting "Jenny Sue". He said she was the most aggressive, ERRR!, outspoken, person at the track.
World Series
Of the Phillies, Jim said, "They're still alive. Especially with Chase Utley channeling Reggie Jackson. Can they force game 7?"
MNF
Rome, "Watching that game last night, it's official. They (Saints) are the best team in the NFL....Gotta find a way to flex them into prime time every single week."
Caller
"Smooth" Joe in Hollywood called. He referenced Charles Barkley saying in the Jungle that in life, " half the people will like you, half will hate you." Jim responded in his imitation of Joe's voice, "...Don't worry about the haters, Joe...You know, Joe. You don't hate, you procreate..."
Guests
Ken Hamlin (Dallas Cowboys)
They have won 3 in a row after starting 2-2. Ken said the difference is they are executing better, playing with more passion, and flying around to the ball defensively. Of Tony Romo, Ken said, "He's been doing a good job of just focusing in on what's going on. He's finding the open receiver...It starts with the offensive line. They've been giving him time in the pocket."
Tony Gonzalez (Atlanta Falcons)
He hasn't yet put last nights loss to the Saints behind him. He said they played really hard in the 2nd half and they had a chance to win. Of QB Matt Ryan, Tony said, "He's still a young quarter back. He's throwing more this year and taking more chances." In response to a question from Jim, Tony said you learn more about yourself in a loss than in a win.
Chip Kelly (Oregon Ducks Coach)
Chip told Jim that he didn't allow himself to celebrate the win over USC. He is already thinking about Stanford. Chip says their team is a special group. He did not think they would score 47 on USC. Chip emphasized that their practices are a major factor in their success. Of preparation and pressure, he said, "Pressure is the feeling you get when you don't know what you're doing. We don't feel pressure because we know what we're doing."
Text Contest
"Rome, War the Buccaneers going for a 2nd perfect season." The Textanator
"Van Smack. Joe in Hollywood is so fresh. Sincerely, The Fonz jumping the shark. War Rosemary."
Triple U sponsor: "The tool that still thinks it's funny when you tap someone on their far shoulder while standing on the other side of them. " Emilio Textavez
Jim commented, "Boy, Guidry. Either you're having a bad day or they're having a bad day. But this might be the worst text contest ever. Take that wrist thing and put it on your other wrist. See if that helps."
Actual Triple U: "Hey Rome, I had on bad night. One bad night. You're gonna hold that against me? Signed Orenthal."
Result: "Derek, you're BLOCKED! Why? Because it's like the stupidest texts ever."
