Clones, Comments, and Moments from Today's Show
Jim began with the Lakers win over Phoenix last night. He mentioned Phil Jackson and his status for next year. Rome stated that Jackson is not just and old guy that rolls the ball onto the court for the guys and passes out a book or two once in a while. Jim's take was that Ron Ron and Kobe weren't listening to guys without 10 rings. In other words, "Give Phil some 'bleeping' credit". (Of course, the clip was played.)
Floyd Landis
The disgraced cyclist finally admitted he used performance enhancing drugs. He gave a mixed message. First he said he wanted clear his conscience, then he said he didn't regret using them.
E mails
"Entitlement Eric" got in with, "With Floyd Landis admitting he used PEDs....time for me to reveal the PED's I use on my lettuce. Dan Shaughnessy"
Other E mails on Landis suggested he go away (since he was also accusing Lance Armstrong of using) and get a job as a bike messenger.
Eastern Conference
Dwight Howard said they still believe. He reportedly said, "If anybody has any doubt, we're not going to win."
Rome said, "What you call doubt, I call panic."
Theo Epstein at Pearl Jam Concert
The Red Sox GM is taking heat for attending a concert during a Red Sox game. Jim defended him, saying that his work doesn't take place during the game for the most part.
Since it was Pearl Jam, "Better Man" came up. J. Stew's karaoke version, and the original. Both were played. Jim played the original and said, "Good." He then played J. Stew's, and said, "horrible".
Georges St. Pierre
The MMAer and UFC welterweight champion came on. His answers to Jim's questions were uncharacteristically short. At the end of the interview, we learned that he was at an airport, running late, with his flight leaving shortly. He did express gratitude for Jim having him on. Jim gave him credit for honoring the commitment.
E mails on GSP
"Was that GSP or GSV?" (due to the robotic and short answers)
Rome said, "What?...Greg in Sun Valley?" Does this sound like GSP? (And he played my "VAAAANNNN SMAAAAACK!" sound byte.)
"Shall we play a game?" (computer voice from "War Games".)
"We like GSP......Goobers, Snickers, and Pancakes.....Signed Kirstie" (BLOCKED!)
Callers
Jay Mohr got in again. He said he was performing at the Irvine Improv and cracked on Brian Cushing. He said Cushing was smaller, and more out of shape before PEDs. "... before it was..... ' get a helmet, pads, and a bra'..."
Jason in Ottawa (The Canadian Star linebacker)
Rome said he was going to Jason because he was another Canadian "athlete" like Georges St. Pierre.
He first apologized to Fabian in Los Angeles for the remark he made during the Hack Off. He then talked about GSP, and had some good takes. Jim then tried to get him to reset "the party" after his high school football game.
Jim said he wanted to hear what "Fabio" says about the apology. He then corrected himself and called him Fabian.
Fabian in Los Angeles
We learned that he called and talked to J. Stew, but did not want to go on air. He told Stew that he accepted Jason's apology. He added that sometimes his
mouth is working faster than his brain and asks that Jim give him some space when he calls.
Jim, in true tongue in cheek, said, "Nobody gets more space than you." Fabian's first call was replayed over and over. It's one of, if not thee, shortest call ever. Jim joked how he has a clock and Fabian was going on and on and on! It was a really funny bit.
My favorite "bit" on Fabian
Jay Mohr E mail
Somebody cracked on Jay with, "...I know where it's (Jay's show) not going to be....CBS! " (Jay's "Gary Unmarried" was cancelled by CBS.)
