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..."
