Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Olympics
Jim started, "Actually, I want to start with the Olympics... A little bit off the board for me... All's well that ends well. right? ...AAAHHH!! (manual buzzer was played and followed by LT's 'I don't like that call.)
Jim went on to discuss the "meltdown" of snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis in 2006 when a "premature style job" cost her a gold medal. This Olympics...she "ate it" ...."right into the gate. DQ'd. Thanks for coming," Jim put it. Rome did say that he felt Lindsey handled it well. Perhaps due to the fact that she realized that she has a great job: Snowboarding! He went on, "She went out and owned the 'NIT' portion of the event."
Hockey
USA and Canada both won early round games. Jim said, "Hey Canada. Tell me you weren't sweating after a scoreless first period...If you tell me you're not. You're lying...Any way, Canada remembred they were Canada. Then they hammered Norway 8-0.
E mail
"Hey Rome. the only people who have a better job than snowboarders are us. Signed, weirdos who sell grilled cheese at "Phish" concerts in the parking lot and call it a full time job." Clay in Buffalo
Jim then asked, "Do they really do that?...Do they really sell grilled cheese...?" Then, in his "Hacksaw" impression voice, "IIII want to hear from a stoner and Phish fan. Do you eat grilled cheese prior to going into the venue? Why do you eat grilled cheese? ...Is it because you baked the chronic?...Why grilled cheese? Does a corn dog work? Nachos?..."
More Olympics
Curling
Jim said, "I'm going off the board today...Curling is and easy target...So I went in last night with an open mind...What I am seeing is a bar game featuring dudes with brooms furiously sweeping their shoulders off and another dude...he's like the quarterback...screaming bloody murder for about 30 seconds...(Jim played a recording of a screaming curler.)
Jim said he likes women's curling better. Then he played the tape of women curlers screaming! Jim said, "...It sounds like she caught fire!...Jennifer! Stop, drop, and roll! Seriously. is that the sound that a curler makes or somebody who's getting hacked up?"
This led to a reset and a replay of the 1997 Spelling Bee with the winning girl screaming her answer. This was and old school take that used to be followed by clones making "unsavory" comments about the girl.
Interviews
Chris Mannix (SI.com)
Chris came on and cracked on Kyle Brandt as he always does. He then talked about the NBA trade deadline. Chris said of the Cavaliers, "I know they want Stoudamire." He also feels Tracy McGrady will be improved and like the McGrady of 3 years ago and will be playing for the Knicks. In response to a question by Jim, Chris said Coach K might consider the Nets job.
John Feinstein (Author and sportswriter)
He actually called the show to disagree with Chris Mannix about Coach K. John said that Coach K will not be coaching in the NBA. "That ship sailed years ago, really," he said. He added that Coach K gets his NBA "fix" from coaching the Olmpic team.
They also discussed the Winter Olympics and Tiger Woods.
Tiger Woods
Late update: Tiger Woods will be speaking publicly on Friday with selected friends and reporters. Jim Rome said, "That's not gonna cut it, E. That's not nearly good enough. That's not stand up. That's not owning jack."
Text Contest Selections
"War KB punching out fools and calling it 'Laser Tag'."
"Hey Rome. I would also like to hear from Phish fan. Sincerely, soap." Gonzo in San Antonio
"Triple U sponsor: "Losers trying to emphasize a blowout by saying that the winning team 'just scored again' despite it being days, weeks, months, or even years after the game."
Actual Triple U: "Doggy dog. Sounds to me like I've gotta go to a Phish concert or at least hit the parking lot concessions. Mmmm. Monica Seles."
Result: "You're warned. ..Points for creativity though...going with Monica Seles."
