Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Summary of today's Jim Rome Show

Jim asked for a "Quad Yeah!" since it was "Friday" for him. (He is off Friday and Monday.) He then made it 4 "Quad Yeah's!" for his 4 days off.

Jim directed the audience to his Facebook page to see a picture of "Snake" from the band "Skid Row", who came on the show yesterday.

Winter Olympics

Jim said there's not quite enough snow in Vancouver and..."the most transcendent star in the Olympics, Lindsey Vonn is on the shelf with a jacked up stick...think NBC is sweating that very much? ........She has trainers and she has doctors with her around the clock administering laser treatment and...cheese therapy. I said cheese therapy. That's right. They're using cheese to reduce the swelling of her shin. I'll tell you what. The "Black Mamba" outta hit his ankle with some Gouda if he really is thinking about giving it a go in the All Star Game this weekend..."

NFL

Drew Brees
Jim told us of a video that's out of Brees going into a New Orleans watering hole and getting the crowd going with some cheers. "Just when you think that Drew Brees could not be any cooler or any more beloved in New Orleans...," Jim said of the video. Further, "...I don't see Peyton Manning doing that...Brett Favre maybe..."

Lavar Arrington vs. Clinton Portis
Jim laid out the recent comments by Lavar Arrington in response to Portis. Jim said, "...Portis started this street fight when he told the NFL Network, in essence, Arrington didn't want to be in Washington back in the day because he was no longer 'the Guy'...Portis just swung on the wrong cat. Arrington got loose...never heard anything quite like this from an athlete on a sports talk show...'It's about leadership, something that Portis clearly never understood.'"
 He was angry on the clip and Jim said it went on for 15 minutes. Jim commented, "That's not a rebuttal. That's not a response. That's a massace. That's a verbal murder..."

USA vs Canada

The thread continued today on the show.
Jim said, "This is the first time we've ever gotten to a place where clones were angrily threatening to meet other clones at the airport...I am an American...I respect and appreciate Canada a lot."

He then told us about an article that said that Canada would not be the gracious host...He said, "The article talks about a change in attitude for Canada. Quote...'Where modesty and self deprication defined the national character...Canada has long been content to win sports congeniality awards...'
Their point is ...That's not the way it's going to be anymore..." Jim then asked, "When were you ever about that?"

The war continued in the E mails today.

Interviews

Charles Barkley (TNT Sports)
   Jim mentioned all star games being terrible. Charles said the NBA All Star Game is the best by far. He mentioned the entire weekend with the Rookie/Sophomore game, the Slam Dunk contest, and the 3 point contest. Charles also felt this year would be special because of the 100,000 fans that would be there in Cowboy Stadium in Dallas.
Jim asked about the San Antonio Spurs and what's going on with them. Charles said, "...They old!.....Old people don't get healthy. They die."

Deron Williams (Utah Jazz)
   He is please to have made his first All Star Game. "..God blessed me and I was able to make my first one in my hometown and have all my family come and support me. Jerry Colangel called Deron a "Team USA lifer" according to Jim.
