Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Clones, Comments, and Moments from Today's Show

Thursday? Friday?

Jim Rome is taking tomorrow off...and Monday too. He got Alvin to give him a "Quad Yeah!"...because for Jim, today is Friday! 

He began getting E mails telling him it was "Triple U" for him to say, "It's my Friday." Jim agreed, but added, "I'm not coming off it!" 

Eastern Conference Finals

Orlando stayed alive with another win over Boston. Jim talked about how physical they played. In fact, Glen "Big Baby" Davis was diagnosed with a concussion after taking an inadvertent elbow to the face from Dwight Howard. He apparently said today that he will play in game 6. 

Rome asked, "Does this guy sound like he's ready to play? He then played the famous clip "I'm going to Dis-Ney-Land! I'm going to ride the kiddie rides!" Rome then asked a series of questions. Each was followed by a part of that clip. Rome, "How many fingers am I holding up?" Davis clip,"Do you understand 

me?" Rome, "What's your real name?" Davis clip,  "...Donald Duck and all ...those characters."

It was a funny bit made funnier by video of the actual event.

E Mail


Chris in Canada wrote a crack about Perkins (since Kendrick Perkins of the Celtics was mentioned). It was signed by ...Tiger Woods.  Jim said he gets a warning for that.  Then Chris warred "Steve Garvey resets".  Jim said Chris is now "double warned" or something to that effect. Rome added, "We're not talking about #6."


Clinton's lb's


Jim relayed the news story that Chelsea Clinton has asked her father, former President Bill Clinton, to lose 15 pounds for her wedding. Rome had a few cracks about this. One was, "How 'bout your mother?...looks like she packed on a few!"


World Cup


Rome recently did a straight up interview about the World Cup with Alexi Lalas on "Jim Rome is Burning". 
Today, Jim said he is rooting against Argentina in the event. He said it is because their coach, Diego Maradona, said he will run naked through the center of Buenos Aires if the team wins the World Cup.
Rome, "...Let's just say he's not at his playing weight...Nobody wants to see that!....The second he drops trow, they ought to Tase him!"


Text Contest


No text contest today. Instead, we heard Alvin's week in review compilation, where I briefly heard a familiar "Portable Buzzer".
