Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Clones, Comments, and Moments from Today's Show


Rome started today with the NHL. The Montreal Canadiens knocked out the defending Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins.

E mail Reaction:

"Now I'm done. Sincerely Sid Crosby."

(Paraphrased) "Dear Pittsburgh, Don't worry. You have the Pirates to look foward to...and your quarterback being suspended for 4 games."
                                                 Brian in Syracuse

The Preakness Stakes


Jim told us about the ad campaign the race organizers are putting on. It centers around the phrase: "Get you Preak on". 
Rome talked about how old the phrase is...and of course used a lot of phrases that had the word "freak" in it and replaced them with "Preak".

We also learned that the race this year would feature $20 all you can drink beer. Jim thought this would bring out more people than the "Preak" campaign.

Song Parody

Another guy called with a song parody. Jim asked for Facebook and E mail votes on whether he should take the call. 75% were in favor. 
The guy sang, "There ain't no Jungle When Jim's Gone" to the tune of"Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers.

He got to the second line when suddenly we heard "AAAAHHHH!" The manual buzzer dropped again!


Hubie Brown


An awkward exchange took place during this interview. Hubie was expressing his belief that the Cleveland Cavaliers coaching staff wasn't setting the right plays to get LeBron opportunities to go to the basket since he is having trouble with jump shots with his bad elbow. Jim then said something to the effect of, "So you're putting this on the coaching staff." Hubie answered, "I think that's what we just got through saying."


Vic in NoCal


Vic got in with an e mail that expressed that if the Preakness organizers are looking to draw more people, they should let all the couples get in free. After all..."It Takes Two" (referencing an  old song). Vic then warred the Sharks  bringing home Lord Stanley's Cup to a place where most of the people don't know what it is. And he Unwarred "Yodeling idiots from Grand Rapids".
