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

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."
