Jim Rome Clone Report

Clones, Comments, and Moments from Today's Show

Show Open

Jim began with a little more on LeBron James. He brought up comments by Larry Bird that he, Bird, would rather play against Magic Johnson each year than with him. That made him a better player. Apparently Bird also said that it would have been easier to play with Magic. Jim said, "Right...which is why James to his talents to 'South Beach'...because it's easier."

Jim did bring up that now that they are expected to win in Miami, LeBron will be under pressure to fulfill that expectation. Also, Rome brought up how big it would be for Kobe Bryant to tie Jordan for championships by beating LeBron and Wade. "...would be legendary," he remarked.

Bret Favre also came up in the first segment. Jim quoted Favre's agent, "....Why does he have to be a *&@5$ drama queen?"

Early E mails

Rome said that Kyle Brandt felt the E mails are "terrible today".
The first was, "Dear Jim, We're glad the hick stayed in Boston. Erv's strippers."
Rome, "You're right. Nobody thinks that's funny except Brian in Syracuse."

"Hey Rome. Save some money? What money? Signed, GED holders." Mike in Chicago, non-7 wood user.
Rome, "...One trick pony...don't respond...don't let him hook you..."

"I agree...who wants to work at the same place for 17 years? Signed, your call screener." J.P. in Los Angeles. "Triple U: the Del Sol with The Club on it in the parking lot."

David Buehler

The Dallas Cowboy kicker reportedly just beat cornerback DeAngelo Smith in a race. Jim reminded us that Buehler is the guy that did more reps in weightlifting than a an all pro linebacker. "My new idol is a kicker!," Jim admitted.

Tony Gonzalez

The former KC Chiefs TE and present Atlanta Falcons TE came in studio for a few segmets. In addition to football questions, Jim asked him his take on LeBron's move. Tony, like many, felt that LeBron had the right to go but probably should have handle it better.
They also got into Tony's company All Pro Science. It is a supplement company that Tony doesn't just advertise for...he started the company. You can look it up at http://www.allproscience.com/

More E mails

One came in saying, "...we've made room for Beeler...and we're kinda scared. Signed Borne and McClane" (Posters in Rome's office.)

Eric in Bellingham ended an E mail by warring "KB having me in his wedding".
Jim joked a little about that. He reference his wedding anniversary yesterday saying that it was the best day of his life. He added that it would have been perfect, however, if it was a "clone wedding".

"I can be his best man. 'Randy' in Houston." (Rachel in Houston) Blaise.

The last E mail requested that Jim lift the moratorium on people's appearance being show fodder...because A. We will be amused. B. The show will be better. and C. People being written or talked about will make positive changes in their lives because of it. "Everybody wins, Jim."
To my surprise, Jim said, "Ok...personal appearances ARE show fodder...for ONE segment.

The segment
   "E will have already eaten mor cheeseburgers than you get E mails...signed, Kirstie."
"I could knaw on some provolone....E Fittapaldi...Coach K, Randy Johnson...and the rest of the family..."
"Does this product (all pro science) come in chocolate?...Kirstie...War Quiznos

"...war 'Don't BLOCK me'."

"When we go to eat, we just point ot the menu and say, 'We'll take it.' Mangino and Kirstie"

"....war anarchy in the Jungle."

With each reading, Jim would say something to the effect of, "That doesn't make the show better."

Rome then took a call from Monroe in Milwaukee. Monroe said mike McCarthy's play sheet is a Ponderosa menu.....and he's sniffing it. Monroe also called out Vic in NoCal.

Jim called the segment "horrible".
