Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Clones, Comments, and Moments from Today's Show

Wimbledon

The longest match in tennis history ended! It took 11 hours and 5 minutes over a period of three days for John Isner to defeat Nicolas Mahut. Rome compared it to a boxing match. "...one of the most insane things I've ever seen," said Jim.

We also learned that Isner is a big "Jungle guy".

Jim also reset some of his soccer coverage from yesterday.

Early E mails

"...war the 'Rome about to talk soccer' alarm."

"What were those idiots at Wimbledon doing? You're supposed to call it a tie and just go home." (Soccer)

"Dear Jim: Call me and let me know when the draft starts. Signed Elgin Baylor."  Brian in Syracuse.  (Jim then reset how he told listeners many years ago to call Elgin Baylor and let him know when the draft was. He then said it was a long time ago and he was much younger.) 

"Dear Jim: It seemed like that tennis match would never end. Signed, J. Stew's Smack Off call." Brian in Syracuse.

Jim mentioned that the last two were both from Brian in Syracuse. He then played part of J. Stew's call, "...basically....3rd of all....the thin line of blasphemy in the Jungle...basically..."

Kevin Frazier

Jim brought up "Butter" again today. He mentioned him getting "cut off" to make room for Chris Rock. Jim also said that he got two more messages from him today regarding soccer and how that is two more than he's gotten from him in the last five months.

E mail on the subject:  "Butter, Don't worry I know what's it's like to be blown off and cut to the curb by Rome. Signed, Wing Forward." Apollo in KC

(Jim explained that he was only a partial owner of the horse Wing Forward. "Bad take...ignorant E mail," Jim answered.)

5 Year Anniversary

Someone E mailed and told Jim that it was the 5 year anniversary of the "Larry Brown" call. Jim said, "I'm not playing the phone call. I don't care if it's the 5 year, 10 year, or 50 year anniversary...Stop asking."

He then said he loves the top request strategy: "Just play the call. You know you want to". Jim answered that he really doesn't want to play it. He reminded us that it's "The Jim Rome Show" and he  could play it if he wanted to. 


Here's my parody regarding the call

Someone also let it be made known that the call has it's own Twitter account.

John Isner

The winner of the longest tennis match in history called. Asked how he felt this morning when he woke up, he said he felt horrible and had to lay down again. He gave credit and respect to his opponent, Nicolas Mahut. Being the Jungle guy he is, he said he would YouTube "Gym guy" to get ready for his next match.

"Hand Hake Guy"

Jim was resetting "Hand Shake Guy" when he was informed that it was National Handshake Day or Week. He againg covered "Bonecrusher", "oil slick", "fish", "two hander", and "Fake body blow".
