Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
...And the announcer started..."Live from Los Angeles, this is the Jim Rome Show..."
Jim started by telling us that J. Stew is back! He was on vacation last week. The "keep calling weaklings" sound clip was played 6 times!
Alabama defeats Florida
Rome: "Definately want to talk about that beat down that Alabama laid on Florida. What an impresssive performance that was in the SEC Championship game...Nothing ever lives up to the hype and that didn't either...'Urb' admitted himself into the hospital after the game and was treated for dehydration. Is that what they're calling a beat down in the SEC title game now...dehydration? Just kidding , Urb. Get well."
Texas vs Nebraska
Jim's take: "The ending of that game was incredible. Either Colt McCoy is the coolest cat with the biggest brass set ever or he just wasn't paying attention to what was going on...I mean, take your time, bro. No sense of urgency here. Just the National Championship...The clock in this guy's head must keep better time than any Rolex on the market...Chris Webber could not believe what he was seeing...It was a gut wrenching loss for Nebraska...but my feeling is: They did not get 'BCS'd'. And they did not get jammed. And they did not get homered. There was 1 second left. They got that right."
The BCS
Jim feels the BCS does not determine a true National Champion. He said, "You have 3 unbeaten teams that aren't even getting the opportunity to play for the National title...Stop calling it the National Championship Game."
Caller
Tony in Omaha called in. He decried the Huskers offense. He called for Ndamukong Suh to get a Heisman vote, saying, "He was double and triple teamed and was still able to 'Rag Doll' Colt McCoy."
Jim commented, "I'm going to rack you on the strength of you successfully using 'Rag Doll' in your take."
The Raiders
Rome: "Time to give the Raiders some credit...What a nice win that was...The Raiders went the length of the field 3 times in the 4th quarter. Credit to the Raiders."
Charlie Weis
Jim told us, "...Laying out Pete Carroll. Are you kidding me about that? Hey Chuck! Who do want to work for? The NFL or TMZ? And then the double back with, 'Yeah. Yeah. That was taken out of context. Good luck unringing that bell. The adultry bell. The 'He shacked up in Malibu with a grad student' bell."
Tiger Woods
Today Jim said, "If 'Tig' wants to take some of the heat off himself, he'd better come out of hiding, get in front of a camera and do an interview. And own it, acknowledge it. And that way he might be able to diffuse what's still coming."
Interviews
John Feinstein (Sports columnist, author)
He came on to talk about Tiger Woods. He said, "This is never going away...It's a part of his legacy now. It doesn't mean he's not going to win more major championships...It means that when the Tiger Woods biography is written, this is part of it...It's something he's going to have to explain to his children one day. In that sense, it's a huge problem. In the sense of: 'Can he go out and win the Masters in April?'...I don't think it's a big problem at all."
Robert Meachem (New Orleans Saints)
The Saints are 12-0. Jim asked Robert if he believes in fate and destiny and karma. Robert must have misheard Jim. He answered, "Oh yeah. I believe in faith. I believe in God..." Jim went on. He asked if a perfect regular season is a priority for him and the team. Robert said they are taking it one practice and one game at a time. They talked about his tough time when he got injured before his rookie year and was unable to play.
E mails came in asking, "When did 'Smooth Joe' in Hollywood started playing for the Saints?"
Mark Schlabach (ESPN)
Jim asked Mark if the BCS got it right this time. Mark said, "I think they got it as right as they could get." Jim asked if Mark could make an argument for any of the other 3 unbeaten teams to play Alabama instead of Texas. Mark said he could make one for TCU. They lead the country in total defense and were #4 in total offense. Mark said, "I think they would give Texas a run for their money or beat them." He thinks the Notre Dame job is Brian Kelly's. Mark has a Heisman vote and said he thinks he's going to vote Ndamukong Suh of Nebraska #1.
