Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Summary of today's Jim Rome Show





(Jim Rome is on vacation.)

Dave "Softy" Mahler guest hosted today from Seattle, Washington.
Dave has a local radio show in Seattle and he guest hosted in the Jungle last month as well. Dave said he would take a lot of phone calls and he did.

NFL

Bears vs Vikings
   The Bears beat the Vikings in overtime!
Daves take: "How big was that game last night for Jay Cutler?...Two weeks ago, heck even two days ago, their fans were ready to roast and ride his big butt out of town. The guy throws the game winning touchdown pass...How big is that game going to be, potentially, over the offseason?...There's nothing the Bears would've liked to see more than Jay Cutler do what he did last night."
Dave also decried the "end of the year/season's over" attitude of some people.

Vikings
  Dave asked Viking fans, "What is going on with your football team?...Minnisota has lost 3 out of 4 games and they're starting to show some cracks....This entire NFC is wide open."

Colts Revisited
   Dave said the call to take Peyton Manning out of the game against the Jets came not from coach Jim Caldwell but from "the top". Dave said, "I think Bill Polian (Colts President) blew it...He absollutely dropped the ball...I think you have an obligation to honor the history of the game when you have a chance to go for perfection...I think the Colt franchise let down the entire nation by that decision...Indianopolis going for 19-0 would've transcended the sports world."

Mike Leach
   The Texas Tech football coach is accused of locking player Adam James is a closet and making him stand up straight for three hours.
Daves take: "Unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable...If this story is true...then Mike Leach has gotta go. He's gotta be fired...I'd ban his ass from college football. You know why? Because if he did this he's crazy. That's why."
(A caller later said that Mike Leach put Adam James in a dark room to rest after a head injury. Dave Mahler wasn't sure about that.)

Mike Holmgren
   He is now the team president of the Cleveland Browns. Dave had Mike on his show in Seattle regularly in the past. Dave feels Mike will turn the Browns around and he guessed that Mike will give coach Eric Mangini another year as coach.

Interview

Lorenzo Romar (Washington Huskies Basketball)
   The Huskies are 9-2 in their non-conference schedule. Lorenzo feels they've been inconsistent and thinks there are areas they can improve in. They later talked about the Huskies learning to play with out there former star John Brockman. Lorenzo brought up Quincy Pondexter, saying Quincy has stepped to be a senior leader for them.  Dave expressed that he feels the Washington basketball program has made a 180 degree turnaround for the better since Lorenzo has been the coach.

Text Contest

(Only one text was read after the mention of the Text Contest sponsor.)

"Hey Dave. My cousin says you're an idiot."

Dave's response: "That's it. Great text. Appreciate it."
