Jim Rome Clone Report

Summary of today's Jim Rome Show

World Series
   The Yankes win their 27th title. Romes take: "It's been about 9 years since the Yankees last won it all. But it must have felt like 90 to the 'Empire'. Especially when you consider that anything short of a ring in the 'Apple' is a wasted year of everybody's life...Of course, they're not getting the credit they deserve because of all the money they throw at it." Yet Jim acknowledged both sides, adding, "They're in the hunt just about every single year because they out spend everybody else."
Further, Jim commented on Mark Teixeira celebrating a lot but not contributing a lot in the Series, "Mark Teixeira may not have had anything to do with them winning the World Series, but he sure partied like he did." Also mentioned was Mary J. Blige singing the National Anthem with her sunglassess on...at night.

E mail on the Series
   "Hey Rome. World Runner Ups. World 'bleeping' Runner Ups. Chase in Philly."  Dean no longer in Omaha

NFL
  Dallas Cowboys receiver Roy Williams is complaining after 3 wins in a row. Asked if he and Tony Romo were on the same page, Roy said, "It's just not even close. It's not even funny. Not even close. I'm the #1 receiver, but things are just going #2's way. He gets the ball thrown correctly his way. I'm stretching and falling and doing everything. Everbody else whose been here's balls' are there. Our footballs are everywhere right now."  Rome's thoughts, "How many things are wrong with that statement besides everything...one correction. You WERE the #1 reveiver. I like Roy...I've defended Roy...but there's no defending this. That's like the worst NFL take this year."

Jack Del Rio
   The Jacksonville coach is bent again. He called his teams defensive effort against the Titans "Ugly, insulting ,and embarrassing".  They allowed 300 yards of rushing against them.  Jim said, "I find that effort awesome.(Del Rio's comments). D-up and wrap up this Sunday or you're going to get wrapped up by your coach."

Caller

Doug in Milwaukee called again. Not long ago he called with a Jeff in Richmond impression. He did the same thing today and got run!

911 call
  Many E mails came in on a 911 call and Jim finally talked about it. A woman called 911 to report a drunk driver. She was asked if she was following "them". She told the operator, "I am them." She appparently had 8 brandy and Coke's. Rome brought up the "She are the manager" McDonalds 911 call in comparison. 

Breeders Cup
   Tomorrow the Jungle will be broadcast from Santa Anita Park.


Guests

Frank Shamrock (MMA, Strikeforce)
   Jim asked about Fedor Emelianenko, the Russian Heavyweight phenom. Frank says,"...Fedor has beaten every style, every fighter, every strength. He's shown no weakness in a sport that's nearly impossible to not lose in...He literally comes from the middle of Russia...He's very kind and very gentle. But he's got piercing blue eyes and he's basically the baddest dude alive...I think right now, hands down, he's the absolute best." His opponent, Brett Rogers is 280 pounds and moves like a middleweight according to Shamrock. Two years ago he was changing tires at Sam's Club. Frank calls it a "Rocky story".
Shamrock went on to defend Fedor not signing with the UFC, and, of course, pumped Strikeforce over UFC.

Eric Musselman (Former NBA Coach)
   Eric has been traveling a lot. He went to China in the summer working with Adidas Nation, recently got back from Russia where there was a clinic, and from there went to the Atlanta Hawks training camp. Eric spoke of an opportunity to coach in Russia but decided not to after looking at the weather report for St. Petersburg in December and January.
Jim asked Eric about Ron Artest acclamation to the Lakers. Eric thinks it's going well despite Artest being the fourth leading scorer on the team. Musselman credits Phil Jackson's part in Artest's getting along so far.

Channing Crowder (Miami Dolphins)
   He is dealing with a shoulder problem and missed the win over the Jets. He said it killed him not to play in that game. He spoke of a conflict with Jets coach Rex Ryan. Channing said,"He doesn't do things very professionally...As a head coach to argue with a player was dumb on his part...He's real childish...He took it to a physical level...If he sees me he's probably going to run away. It ain't nothing."
Of the Jets, he said,"...as much as I hate them, they have a lot of talent."
Channing went to Florida and liked how they "cleaned Georgia's clock".
