Jim Rome Clone Report

Clones, Comments, and Moments from Today's Show

Show Open

Jim started with the announcement that J. Stew is out this week on vacation. Kyle Moss is replacing him.

Rome then touched on the Tampa Bay Rays' dugout argument between Evan Longoria and B.J. Upton. "Evan Longoria was absolutely in the right to go after Upton...he's dogged it before..."

Fedor Emelianenko

The MMA heavyweight that hadn't lossed is 10 years lossed on Saturday night. Fabricio Werdum forced Emelianenko to tap out with a triangle choke and an arm bar. Jim Rome said he never saw a bar fight won without throwing a punch. 

E mails

An e mail came in asking Jim what the best part of his weekend was: "...the track, seeing Twilight with Melvin, soccer ending, or Entourage starting?"

Another came after Jim announced that Ken Berger from CBS Sports was coming on. "...Did you say you would have a burger today...Eric Mangini..."

This guy got...BLOCKED!

Someone that Jim saw at the Denver station visit wrote in. His was was "...Monica Seles winning the sack race at the Jim Rome 'fat ramily' picnic."

Jim warned him. He said he wasn't BLOCKED because Jim had seen him in Denver. Also, Jim said not to push him because he'd BLOCK his mom if  

she wrote in with fat smack.

Jim interviewed Adrian Gonzalez. Adrian cleared his throat during the discussion. Afterword, E mailers compared him with Trapper. Rome said, "Trapper's doesn't sound human!" 


Gallitin's Run


Jim's day at the track Saturday was marred by an incident in the starting gate. A horse reared up and ended up with his two front legs over the gate rail. It turned out to be Jim's horse!  Jim said he couldn't say what he said to Billy Koch. Gallitin was scratched from the race, but was not seriously injured.


E mail on the subject: "Dear Jim, You can tell me what you said to Koch. Signed, The Dump Button."  Brian in Syracuse

"Grown Ups"

Jim jokingly said that Adam Sandler can thank him for the great opening weekend his movie "Grown Ups" had since Sandler was on the show last week.

Later Jim commented on E mails coming in saying that Adam Sandler appeared on other shows leading up to the opening. "...how do you not get that joke...they did a media blitz...That's what I do: sarcasm...What do you get out of this show...Why do you listen to me?"

Later, Blaise E mailed: "I don't think Kirstie Ally is really sending those 

E mails." 

Callers

Peter in Akron

   Peter talked horses and wished Jim well with Gallatin's Run, then said Michael Vick was arrogant and pompous for announcing a public birthday party for himself.

Brendan in Wilmington

   Early in the show Jim said that Brendan in Wilmington was on hold.

Before the final segment of the show, Jim said Brendan had a coin flips chance of getting his call taken. He also suggested that Brendan could hang up now and "spare himself the embarrassment".

An E mail came in: "Take the freakin' call...we're sure 'Barry in Philadelphia' will.......Signed Toilet humor and bum smack."

Rome went to Brendan in the final segment of the show. 

When Brendan got on, he gave Vic in NoCal a belated congratulations for his Smack Off win. Brendan said it proved that fat smack and appearance smack works if done correctly. He also cracked on Stu in Manhattan. He called CC Sabathia 'CC Safatia'. Then the manual buzzer sounded! 

Rome said it would have been better if Brendan called as Barry in Philadelphia.

Text Contest Selection

"Unwar Moss getting the call....over Gruce."

Jim said that Gruce was no longer in town. He also repeated his line that Gruce is 9'8" and 670lbs. For good measure, Jim added an "Autobots.....transform and roll out!"
