Today's Show
Jim started with MLB instituting HGH testing in the minors. Rome was not impressed. First, it's in the minors where most players can't afford HGH, and second, the particular test has had only one positive result in the last 6 years.
E mail: "Hey Jim, this HGH testing is a waste of money. Signed, the Sky Mall pillow. (Brian in Syracuse)
Another big topic was Vanderbilt's new football coach. Jim played parts of Robbie Caldwell's time on the mic before the press. He was genuine and pretty funny.
E mail: "Dear Jim. I wish I was half as funny as Robbie Caldwell. Signed, Dane Cook. (also Brian in Syracuse.)
My Pick for Interview of the Week
Charles Barkley
He came on today. While many disagreed with his take that he wouldn't have left Cleveland like LeBron did because he went to Houston to play with Clyde Drexler and Hakeem Olajuwon, I just like his manner. He's not being interviewed it seems, he's just talking with a friend and being funny. I liked his feigned indignation over David Wells saying he wasn't as fat as Chuck.
My Pick for the Top 5 Funny Moments of the Week
-5. The "Fantasy Alert" sound clip used Wednesday..... Since it's been a while and since football season is approaching.
-4. Brian in Syracuse's E mail on Wednesday: "Hey Jim. As long as there's a bed, I don't care what the theme is. Signed, a former Dodger First Baseman." Jim's reaction added to the moment. (See Wednesday's post.)
-3. MMA Themed bed take by Jim. He talked about parents telling Little Red Riding hood stories to there kids where Little Red does MMA moves on the wolf.
-2. The "Appearances ARE show fodder" segment. It was funny. It wasn't legendary. I understand that people weren't ready for it and only had one commercial break to think of things.
-1. The moment when I heard Jim say, "Ok...appearances ARE show fodder..."
I was stunned, as were probably most E mailers and Texters.
