Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
NFL
Randy Moss
There was talk after the Patriots' game with Carolina that he shut it down and quit. He had been sent home from practice 3 days earlier. Jim said, "I don't think that's a coincidence...Panther DB's essentially saying he did give up...and that they all knew he would. So once again, Hall of Fame game, ten cent mind. And worst of all, not the least bit surprising."
Dallas Cowboys
Rome: "Hey Cowboy fans. How do I put this, UH OH!. (Carl Lewis 'Uh oh!' sound byte was played.) 0-2 in December, a month where you're team has lost 7 of its last 9 overall." (Several more "Uh Oh's" were played in the take.)
Correspondents piece on Jim Rome Is Burning
Jared Allen of the Minnesota Vikings did a TV correspondent piece where he asked Visanthe Shiancoe about Christmas. Visanthe said he wanted to wish his two ferrets, "G" and "Smoke", a Merry Christmas. Jared said, "I have nothing to say...(laughs)."
Tiger Woods
Rome: "The latest is ...he is taking an indefinate leave of absence from the sport." A sponsor cut ties with Tiger, saying he is "no longer the right representative." Jim said, "That's pretty much to the point, isn't it?"
Also, of the leave of absence, Jim said, "I don't know why that guy is doing that. Maybe Elin hit him with an ultimatum...If that's why, I get it...Maybe he's doing it because he doesn't want to deal with the heat.....Man up...Get in front of a camera."
Interviews
Antoine Winfield (Minnesota Vikings)
He had a six week layoff. He returned yesterday and led the Vikings with 9 tackles and a forced fumble. Jim asked if there was rust. Antoine said, "...not for me" and mentioned being in practices for a few weeks. He also said he went at the game full throttle. Ask how he feels after the game, Antoine said, "Sore...but excited..." He had a chance at an interception in the game but dropped it. Immediately he dropped and did ten push ups. Jim asked why. He told us that when you touch a ball in practice and don't catch it they have to do push ups. He said he realized it was a game and was glad the fans were into it.
(Antoine was on a cell phone and calling from his training room. The sound quality was "bassy". An E mail came in saying, "Was that Antoine Winfield or Greg in Sun Valley...mix in a little bass in the streamlink." Rome said something to the effect of, "...let's see if there is anything to your argument." He replayed part of Antoine's interview, then played part of my first call to the show last June. Jim conceded that maybe there was something to that.)
Charlie Strong (Louisville Football)
He is the new head coach of Louisville. He said he had to pinch himself at the press conference to make sure it was real. He has been in the college game for 26 years. He is encouraged to see 4 head coaching vacancies filled this year by African Americans. He added, "...I feel like I have a great job here. ...We're in a Big East conference. I'm in a BCS job...and the revenue, the support here is unbelievable.
