Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Friday Format

Today's Show

Jim called the goings on between Redskins coach Mike Shanahan and Albert Haynsworth the best training camp battle so far. Albert had skipped off season workout and "OTAs". Shanahan required him to pass fitness tests before joining the team now. After two tests, the count is at 0 passes and 2 fails. 

E mail on the subject: (paraphrased) : "Hey coach Shanahan. Do you know who the hell I am? I make more money than anyone around here. I can RAT you out to Dan Snyder..."   (Rome gave the E mailer a warning for the sideways RAT family reference.)

After repeated requests, Jim had Alvin replay the "Armadillo hunt" with Brett Favre....repeatedly.

E mail: "...I thought that was a good cut and past job by Alvin. Signed, Mickey Rourke's face." (Jim said, "What is it about people's appearance is not show fodder....." Then, "...If he's that, what's Bruce Jenner?"

My Pick for Interview of the Week

Jeff Fisher

   The Tennessee Titans coach has come on many times before. He always appears real and up front. He answered Rome's questions about Mike Shanahan and Albert Haynesworth without saying he couldn't comment on another team or coaches approach. He gave his opinion based on his knowledge of football and coach Shanahan.

My Picks for the Top 5 Funny Moments of the Week

-5. Wednesday E mail after the story of Tim Tebow signing with Jockey:"Hey James. Did you say the Broncos had a new jockey. Signed John." (Alvin adding the "Hey John" clip did it for me.)

-4. Jim saying "You wouldn't want me to go down there...I'd do a Billy Joe into a treadmill..." while spoofing how hard it is to get out of a gym membership.

-3. The Armadillo hunt. It was a good concept and well executed compilation of clips to parody Brett Favre and his "hunt" with coach Brad Childress along for the ride.

-2. The fact that Jim's reading of "War bums hazing new bums by making them carry their coin cup" made the Week in Review.

-1. "Foot away from my face" from the infamous "Larry Brown" call still being in "Alvin's Mix" and it being played on Monday.
