Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

My latest Jungle Parody Video





Summary of today's Jim Rome Show

NFL
Jim started out with the sad news that Bengals wide reveiver Chris Henry past away after being injured falling out of the back of a pick up truck in what authorities are calling a domestic dispute.
Jim said, "Terrible story...a guy who had worked hard to make better choices and turn his life around...something he had successfully done. What a stunning, tragic development for his family and the entire Bengals organization."

NBA
Rome: "Memo to the Milwaukee Bucks: 'Kobe Bryant is real, real comfortable taking the big shot.' ...Do you really want to give Kobe Bryant a 2nd opportunity with exactly the same look that he missed minutes earlier?"

Tiger Woods
Jim told us that ABC News is reporting Elin Woods will divorce tiger Woods. Also, a UK report says Tiger is "close to cracking up" and that he is spending all his time at home watching cartoons and eating cereal. Rome doubted that was all Tiger was doing.

Theme Bumper Music

Jim has been coming into the 2nd segment of the show with new and different music selections. Today he gave call screener guest "booker" Jason Stewart, aka J. Stew, the opportunity to choose the music. He chose Cold Play's "Clock."  Jim asked Stew, "Stew, Cold Play? Really?"
Stew replied, "...Listen to it. Is it not the anthem of this decade?"

Interviews

Jimmie Johnson (Fox Sports)
   Jim asked Jimmie if he thought Randy Moss "shut it down" against Carolina. Jimmie said, "I wouldn't say he shut it down. I think he had a poor ball game..." Rome then asked if Moss was wounded by being sent home earlier in the week and took it on the field. Jimmie said it would be hard not to. Jimmie also told stories of some of his players setting upset when yelled at in front of others. He told us that Emmit Smith would "sulk" in practice if that happened to him.
Asked about the Redskins problems, Jimmie said that Owner Dan Snyder's "MO" was to spend his way out. He also said Snyder was almost a "Fantasy Football owner."

E mails came after the interview saying a weird "spaceship" sound could be heard in the backround at one point during the interview. Rome replayed it and, sure enough, there was a movie type "space ship" sound. Some attributed it to a cell phone ring tone.

Kevin Durant (Oklahoma City Thunder)
   Kevin is in his 3rd year and is currently 4th in the NBA in scoring. Jim asked him about his new orange shoes. Kevin said he just wanted to do something different. Rome mentioned that Shane Battier had been asked about Kevin. Battier had said that the next step would be for Kevin to consistently dominate night in and night out. Kevin said he feels he can do that. Others have said Kevin need a mean streak like the other "great ones." Kevin expressed that he has that competitive edge when he steps "between the lines" but doesn't need to be a bad guy off the court.

Charles Barkley (NBA on TNT)
   Charles had said recently that he had not spoken to Tiger Woods. Rome asked Charles, "Have you tracked him down?" Charles replied, "I have not. I just want to tell him I love him, and that's it." Later, he said, "I don't have any advice for Tiger. I just want to tell him, 'Hey, you're my friend. I love you. That's it, man.'...Any time you go through something bad now, you find out exactly who your friends are."
Charles told Jim he didn't know why Tiger has not spoken yet, but "100% agreed" with Jim that Tiger should come out and speak publicly.
