Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Jim opened the show with a story of going to the doctor. It was a doctor he hadn't seen before. The doctor said, "Oh. Jim Rome...Listen, great show...except when your clones call. And then I turn it off."
Jim told the audience, "Hey clones. Let that be a challenge to you. Step you game up!"
Tiger Woods Rome: "New day, new drama from the Woods estate..."
An ambulance had been called and Tiger's mother-in-law was taken to the hospital with stomach pains and was listed in stable condition. Jim added, "...Meanwhile, still no sign of Woods himself...not since he wrapped his Escalade around that tree ten days ago...'Tig', Howard Hughes thinks it's time to come out of the house...Looking at this whole thing. It is incredible and almost inconceivable to imagine how badly his image is cracking and how his life has unravelled in only a week and a half. Ten days ago he was bulletproof. He was the gold standard...Today the guy's reeling...This guy's gone from salacious to sordid to just plain sad...and really unbelievable."
Green Bay vs. Baltimore
Green Bay had looked bad after their defeat at the hands of the Vikings. Now they are 8-4. Jim said, "...Wasn't it Aaron Rodgers who came on this show recently and ended the interview...by asking for a little karma?" (The tape was played.) Rome went on, "...All the sudden, things look a whole helluva lot different." Now they control their own destiny.
E mail
Dave in St. Louis reset "Baldrick". Jim didn't like it but read Dave's war, "War Van Smack taking Melvin over his knee for running me last week."
Dallas Cowboys
Rome: "For some reason they turn into the Brown whenever the calendar flips over (into December)...I also want to talk about Flozell Adams pushing Justin Tuck face first into the ground...from behind...right in front of the Giants bench...What? That wasn't going to create a problem? Not very discreet. What? We weren't going to see that?...When a guy goes...I don't know...7'8", 590...we're gonna see that."
Detroit
Rome: "Detroit is being terrorized by...wait for it...a 'bad breath bandit'. There's a guy literally, with horribly yellow chicklets and astoundingly bad breath holding up banks.
This story got a lot of E mail reaction.
Callers
Kirk in Sacramento called and said, "...This Woods dude isn't helping us..." Kirk said his wife is all in his phone ..."thinking I'm doing the same program."
Ray Ray called. On a previous call he said, "I'm not a smack talker. I smack talkers." Today..."Jim, you have more phones than a mall kiosk." He also cracked on Tiger. Jim invited him to the Smack Off!
Interviews
Kirk Morrison (Oakland Raiders)
The Raiders just beat the Steelers 27-24. Kirk ranks this win over Pittsburgh as one of his biggest as a Raider. Kirk feels the Raiders are a good team that hasn't always executed on the field. He said, "We're starting to find an identity over the last couple of weeks. We beat some quality football teams. When you look at Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and now Pittsburgh..."
Jim asked what changed. Kirk said, "Just believing in ourself...We are much better than what people give us credit for."
Darrelle Revis (New York Jets)
The Jets are 6-6. Jim asked how he approaches a matchup with Terrell Owens. Darrelle said, "...He's a big receiver...I just try to get more physical with him, get my hands on him, and keep him from going vertical." He then spoke of it being known that if you get him (T.O.) frustrated early in a game he starts to go downhill. He did give Owens credit and props. Darrelle said his toughest cover has been Steve Smith.
Text Contest Selections
"Dear Yellow Teeth bandit, child please. Regards, the Green River Killer." Rob in Uttica
"Hey pimp. Tell Detroit to calm down. Every town has its problems. We have the wooden and laconic Mole Bandit rocking around our city yanking gigs right out from underneath us. Signed waiters, hostesses, and bus boys."
Triple U sponsor: "People who wear watches with the face on the bottom side of their wrist." Jimmy in J-Ville
Actual Triple U: "OK, Rome. I have to come clean and admit it. I also had sex with Tiger. Regards, Rosemary."
Result: "Wait a minute! That's Ugly Bob. Bob that's a warning. One more warning, Bob. As much as we like you... you're out of the game, bro. I know you think you're the king of the Triple U. You're gonna be the king of getting BLOCKED!...if you're not careful. Don't do it. There it is. Nobody is unblockable. Not even you, Ugly Robert. Don't do it, man. I know you're going to push it."
