Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Clones, Comments, and Moments from Today's Show

Show Open

Chris Johnson

   Jim told us how the Titans RB said he "graduated from hungry" and is now greedy...as it pertains to the yards he wants this season: 2,500.

Roger Clemens

   We learned that after pleading not guilty to charges of lying to Congress, Roger Clemens went golfing! Rome joked that he half expected Roger to next look for the "real roiders". In seriousness, Jim said that Roger will never be seen as "The Rocket" again.

Shaquille O'Neal

   Shaq recently said that is doesn't matter that Kobe now has 5 titles to his 4. "I only compete against big guys..." 

Jim mentioned that he is not a big guy, yet Shaq wanted to box him! Also, Rome said after Kobe and the Lakers lost to the Celtics in '08, Shaq was in the club with the famous, "...last week, Kobe can't do without me!..."

Early E mail

Eric in Falls Church, aka "Entitlement Eric" got in today. His E mail was followed by a "War Rome doing a Falls Church Tour Stop in honor of me."

Rome followed that up with word association for E mailers:

 - Eric in Falls Church: Entitled loser

 - Stu in Manhattan: arrogant

 - Blaise in KC: B.O. references...then Jim said to add NBAer Danny Granger to the list of B.O. smack talkers.

Danny Granger on Twitter                                                                 "Twitter is a loaded gun," Rome said yet again. Granger tweeted about people in Europe "not getting the memo" about using deodorant. He received a lot of heat for this. Rome added, "...Don't Tweet it if you wouldn't tell it to a reporter." Jim then went on to compare Granger and his B.O. smack to Blaise in KC and his references, such as "B.O. so strong it can singe your eyelashes".

E mails on the subject: "Dear Europe...Yo homes smell you later. Signed, Danny Granger.

"Dear Jim, Danny Granger is a great U.S. American." Blaise in KC

Rome interviewed by Rome

Jim Rome's family stopped by the studio unexpectedly. Jim's son Jake followed Jim into the studio during a break and wanted to go on air!

Jake is now 9 years old. The last time he came on, he was only 6!

When Jim asked him what was up, Jake said, "Nuthin'". He then told his dad that they would be headed to the dentist. Rome said, "...braces." Jake isn't thrilled with them. "Why?," Jim asked. "...torturing your mouth!," Jake said. We also learned that Jake is into baseball, Tae Kwon Do, and skateboarding. In an honest response, Jake said that he and his brother Logan haven't been getting along lately.

E mails on the subject: Todd wrote in that Jake and Logan wouldn't be fighting as much if it weren't for the UFC Octogon beds Jim got them.

Jim replied that "mom and dad wouldn't wrestle as much" in not for the Octogon beds. 

"....Your family? We're your family. Signed, the Rat Family." (The E mail contained names of Rat Family members, but Jim said he wouldn't read them.)

Text Contest

"Unwar people who order water in a restaurant then break out a Crystal Lite packet and mix it in." Emilio Textavez  (Jim said he doesn't know if anyone does that, but it so, so what!"

Welcome Back Jim!

(Cue the Octo-Yeah!...and the Jesus in Chicago "Welcome Back" song parody!

...Jim did the Octo-Yeah but, unfortunately didn't reference the song. But this blog reports on clones' Jungle related activity! Jesus' song is up on Rome's Facebook page. If you have a Jungle related song or video, send the link here!)

Show Open

After the Octo-Yeah, Jim played the Quad Yeah. He said he started to lean towards the Quad Yeah, but then said the decision between the two is TBA.

Man-Ram

   Manny Ramirez is out of L.A. and headed to the Chicago White Sox. (Hey Mike in Chicago.....REACTION!??)

Rome said, "...He made sure of that by melting down and getting himself ejected after one pitch......How predictable." Jim talked about how Manny is loved when he first gets to a new city...then eventually hated. Rome called it S.O.P....standard operating procedure.

Ndamukong Suh

   Rome covered the Lions rookie's hit on Browns QB Jake Delhomme. Jim called it "awesome...ERRR excessive".

E mails:

"Hey, who's the new guy? Signed the XR4ti." Lee in Vancouver

Then came a request for a Mel Gibson/Gruce combo..."Gimmie back my...Jim Rome show!" Chris in Canada

Also, a Glengarry Glen Ross reference in regards to Jim Rome's horse losing recently, "Put that oat bag down. Oats are for closers only."

Later, Rome said a "Smoke weed, talk bleep like Bob Baffert" E mail was better than hearing an E mailer's fantasy football picks.

James Toney vs Randy Couture in the UFC

Rome said, "Muhammed Ali in his prime was not going to beat Randy Couture in an MMA fight....different sport, different world..." However, Jim did comment on Toney's gut, "...It's MMA, not M&M's...UFC not KFC."

Caller

Bill in Lubbock

   He called and said he was pissed off at UFC President Dana White. Bill didn't like any of the matches on Saturday night's card. 

Mike in Chicago vs Dave in St. Louis (on the E mails)

After Mike referenced his job title, "Assistant equity options trader" (I think), Dave and another E mailer decoded the title with less than flattering descriptions.

Billy Sims

For some reason...Jim pulled out the Billy Sims' "Boomer! Boomer!" sound clip saying Billy was at yesterday's Emmy Awards.


Late E mail


After the Chris Mannix interview, Nate in Edmonton wrote in, "Mannix talks real fast. Signed, Flame-ian." Jim then played Fabian's "You know, you know, you know!"

Text Contest Selections

"Unwar the guy that doesn't take his hat off during "God Bless America".

"I thought James Toney was ripped. Signed, 'Iceman'."

"Madden may be trippin', but Pippen don't be tippin'."

Triple U sponsor: "Clones chiming in direct deposit smack like they are financial wizards."

Actual Triple U:....When it came time to read it, Jim said, "I'm not going to read that!"

NFL

Brett Favre is officially back to play for the Vikings this year. 

Rome said, "...Never mind Brett Favre's ankle. Somebody better check his hear and head......Does he really want to play?...." Jim questioned why, if he wants to play, it took him this long. Also, why did it take convincing from the three players who visited him? Jim ended his rant by saying that ten years from now he will think that Brett was an unbelievable player, but "what a diva and kook he was those last few years".

E mails:

   "Dear Jim. I'm good at two things: huntin' dillas and comin' out of retirement...and I'm all out of dillas. Signed, the Ol' Gunslinger."

"Dear KB. Did she say yes?...anxiously, Scott Stapp and Jim Rome's wallet."

This was regarding Jim's offer to pay for KB's honeymoon if the first dance at the wedding was to Stapp's Marlins Soar song. Kyle didn't think his fiance Brooke would go for it. But, she said, "Done". Unfortunately, Jim's offer only stood until the end of yesterday's show. Kyle didn't bring it up to her until after the show.

-(paraphrased) "...that plane trip (of Viking players to see Favre) reeks of desperation. Signed, Brad in Corona's 8th place Smack Off call." Apollo in KC.

LBJ in GQ

Rome commented about LeBron speaking in the third person in a GQ article....and saying that even his family is sometimes spoiled by seeing the things he does "on and off the court".

Rome: "Jim Rome can't believe LeBron is talking about LeBron.....Jim Rome is shocked..." He then asked, "Are you that arrogant or that grammatically challenged?"

Jim then took the third person bit into telling us that Cal Ripken is coming on tomorrow. "Jim Rome is having Cal Ripken on and doesn't want you to reset the worst call ever." (He then played part of the call.) Rome added, "Jim Rome thinks that's deplorable."

Eli Manning

Rome talked about how funny Eli is. Yes, Eli! Either because of stitches or swelling, Manning is having trouble putting on his helmet after his injury. Eli joked that he would have to put on an old style leather helmet so he could participate in practice. 

Jim said, "Hell, yes! Leather helmet smack!" Jim recalled his joke about leather helmets during an interview with Lee Evans that didn't really go over well. Jim went on, "My man Eli...picking me up. I knew my joke was good......or what about Archibald's old Saints helmet?"

More E mails

"Hey Rome. Who needs a private jet when you can just hitchhike...Signed, GED holders." Matt in.....? Jim was talking about Matt being an "insider". Despite his "insider" status, Jim was displeased with Matt's "unwar Stool in Manhattan" addition to his E mail.

(paraphrased) "...love that hitchhiking trick. Signed, Shoving someone into a pool." Blaise in KC. Jim said, "Blaise...once a week, you make me chuckle."

"War Gruce being a bouncer at KB's reception." Brian in Syracuse

NFL

Jim said it again, "...The number one sport in this country is Football. And the number two sport is waiting for football to start.....It's not football until someone is bleeding from the head...."

Jim then went on to tell of Eli Manning "gushing blood" and "leaking badly" from a couple of hits on the same play after a miscommunication with RB Brandon Jacob.

(I hadn't seen it until today. The phrase "bleeding profusely" comes to mind.)

E mails: "Hey Rome. NFL type hit? I think you mean National Football League..." 

(Jim replied, "...Ron, you're right. My bad...")

"Hey Rome. Drew Brees is coming on the show? Wow wow wow wow wow!"

(We then heard the clip of Oprah introducing Drew Brees.")

"Dear Romeyyourock@gmail.com....tell me how my ass tastes. Signed, Rome@haveatake.com." (Back to the standard E mail address today.)

Rome on vacation next week

He gets 7 weeks, but only takes six.

E mail: "...7 weeks?...How about 52? Signed GED holders." (From someone who is a "Jungle insider"...didn't catch his name.)

Jim said he was going to crack on the guy, but since he is an "insider", he (Rome) is going to let it go. Jim then said he'd let him send "bum" E mails as well as "Kirstie" e mails. Rome then talked about the trade off of getting the subscriptions vs allowing those things on air.

"War bums using a stick of gum as a book marker" was read.

Another e mailer wrote in asking about "Insiders" being able to send in Rat Family and Larry Brown E mails. (Jim then said, "...but that reminds me. Albert Haynesworth...."   He left practice early because he was sick. Jim said Mike Shanahan should make Haynesworth do the fitness test again. "Why does that remind me?" he added.)

Kyle Brandt's Wedding

It's a month and a day away. Jim brought Kyle on air to talk about it. He talked about being active in the preparations. Jim said he was "producing" in that regard, too. 

E mail: "Dear Jim. I got the music for the first dance covered.....you're welcome, Kyle. Signed, Scott Stapp."

Jim said, "Do that and I'll pay for the honeymoon..."


War Eagle!


This is the cry of the Auburn fans. It led to the Jungle's use of the term "war".
Well, a guy got it tattooed to his lower back! Rome said, "...bad look, bro."
A picture of it was posted on Jim's Facebook fan page.


An E mailer wrote in asking which was worse, the tattoo or the "backne" the guy had?

PGA Championship

Jim said, "...absolutely brutal way to lose his first shot to win a major...but this one is on Dustin Johnson, not the PGA..." Rome talked about the rules being given to each golfer as well as them being posted in the locker rooms. The confusion was whether or not he was in a bunker on a shot on 18.

"Elk had a great run at it...," Jim told us. "..Not to go say 'karma', but we spent an hour on Elk on Friday..."

NFL

Jim commented on Tim Tebow's debut in preseason with the Broncos. "...I give him as 'S' for satisfactory...for solid. He had some moments..."

E mail Problems

This of course meant the need to use the backup E mail address for clones to write in to. It is "Romeyyourock@gmail.com"

"Romey, you rock!" comes from the imfamous "Rosemary" caller from some years back.

Jim said the best thing about this address is that it allows clones to try and "chat" with Kyle Brandt on gmail.

Also, he made mention of the fact that people who had been BLOCKED on the regular E mail address were trying to get there E mails into the temporary one.  "...Losers, enjoy it...not going to get read," Rome scolded.

Someone got in with an E mail that warred "bums using there bare feet as shoes". That someone, named Bobby got BLOCKED!

Steve Elkington

Elk was just voted #1 in the Jungle for Favorite Jungle moments on Friday. Sunday, he finished tied for 5th at the PGA Championship!

He came on the show today. Much of what he said is at jimrome.com

A few gems about "Lefty":

"Hefty?...He's off the meat and cake. Isn't he?"

(Jim then said, "He's leaned out.")

Elk, "That's the (camera) lens...I don't think he's leaned out...(though) I didn't see him plowing into cakes this week..."

After an E mail came in to the fact, Jim declared Elk "The Most Interesting Interview in the Jungle".


Who is the Most Interesting Caller? (I didn't say it!)

Caller

James in Hattysburg

   He started with a story about meeting Steve Elkington. He said Elk went on for 15 minutes on how he likes the Jungle. James added a few other things, like taking a swipe at Charles Barkley for his comments on LeBron James.

More GED Smack

"We don't read directions. We look at the pictures...Signed GED holders." (paraphrased) - Mike in Chicago

Jim wondered aloud what education Mike in Chicago has. We learned he has degrees in Economic and Finance from Loyola University. (Also a FINRA licensed broker.)

Mike took some heat later. Dave in St. Louis said Mike may not have a G.E.D., but question whether he's had relationships with G.I.R.L.S.

Favorite Moments in the Jungle

Today, Jim asked for E mails and Facebook fan page votes on the audience's favorite moments in the Jungle. Jim soon had to qualify that with "except the Larry Brown Call"!

E mail: (paraphrased): "...asking which Jungle moment is best is like asking Jolene which brain cells are dead..." (Stu in Manhattan, I believe.)

Some early entries were:

 -Nolan Ryan at a tour stop

 -"Chew It!"

 -The Rex Streaks' Rex Waldheim

The Official Top 5

5. Jim in Fall River's "Andy Petit" call

4. C.A.A.F. (Cockfighting Across America Foundation) Jim illustrated absurdity by pretending to back such a foundation. He was being sarcastic and a caller actually called years ago to voice his disappointment with Jim involving himself with this.

3. Mark Grace's "Slumbuster" call

2. The Evel Knievel interview

1. Elk! (Anything Steve Elkington)

As a subset of Elk's #1 spot, Jim listed: 

-Elk's "We see cat" comments

-Elk's "Rubber donger" story

-Elk's deer hunting story

-The John Daly rugby story

-The Tommy Smothers story

-Elk's comments regarding Colin Montgomery eating custard

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Clones, Comments, and Moments from Today's Show

Jim started this Thursday of with a "Quad Yeah!" times five...for some reason.

NFL

Rex Ryan has an idea for the teams contract issues with DB Darrelle Revis. He wants to shut down practice and bring the whole team over to hear the position of each side, so there's no "he said, she said". 

Rome said, "...Big man, I love your rap...but stay in your lane....Sounds like a Clone plan....and one that would get that clone banned!"

Gallatins Run

Jim's horse won his first race against a star studded field of first timers! Hence the "Quad Yeah!" times five.  Gallatin had the edge in experience, but was going up against a $1 million dollar horse from Bob Baffert's stable. Jim called it, "...about as badass a maiden field as....."

E mail: Nate in Edmonton sent in a haiku:

"Gallatin wins huge

Black Coyote in the dust

BOHICA Baffert"   (War Trapper's neigh)

Others:

"Hey Bob. Tell me how my ass tastes!"

"Dear Gallatin, It's a pleasure to meet you. Signed, The Win Column."  Brian in Syracuse.

"Rome. I fell in love with a horse also, Matthew Broderick."

"Rome. Congrats in you win, Signed SJP."  -Rome said, "You're BLOCKED!...not even an attempt to be clever.

"Dear Horse Racing critics, Don't think for a moment that I haven't been taking mental notes.......LeBron Rome."

"...It was sweet when Gallatin dropped the hammetron Flagship's ass and closed the deal!"

Correspondent's Piece

Jim told us about the correspondent's piece that Bob Baffert did for JRIB. It would run today. In it, Baffert tells Jim's former jockey's agent that his horse can beat Jim Rome's horse. The guy agrees, then Baffert tells him he's taping for the Jim Rome Show! Then Baffert tells Jim he's got a $900,000 horse that is going to "destroy you!". 

This got Jim to replay the call of the race. Then Rome added, "That $900,000 horse that was going to destroy me finished a distant 3rd!...He's a nice little colt...alright he's a freak!...See you at the track this weekend, Robert!

Haiku: 

"Gallatin's Run wins

 Quad Yeah for the victory

 Where you at, Baffert?"

Needless to say, Jim Rome was quite happy. In fact, he said that he's had a good life and a lot of success. He classified that win yesterday as one of his high points!

Base Brawl

   Jim called the fight between the Cincinnati Reds and the St. Louis Cardinals the most predictable brawl ever. This was because Brandon Phillips of the Reds laid down these gems: "I hate the Cardinals...All they do is bitch and moan about everything....They're little bitches...All of 'em...Let me make this clear, I hate the Cardinals..."

Jim said, "...That's awesome!"  Also, "If it sounds like I'm enjoying this, I am! ...I don't think he should have said it...but I'm glad he did!"

After the brawl, however, the Cardinals were even more upset with the Reds' Johnny Cueto because he was kicking Cardinals with his spikes during the melee.

E mails on the subject: 

"...Was Brandon Phillips talking about the Cards or the entire city of St. Louis?"  Mike in Chicago   (I believe is was Mike in Chicago, in a later E mail, who warred Dave in St. Louis defaulting on mortgage payments.)

"Hey Rome, good thing there wasn't a table on the field. That could've been pretty rough. Signed, Ron Ron."

LeBron on Twitter

He wrote, "Don't think for one min that I haven't been taking mental notes of everyone taking shots at me this summer. And I mean everyone!"

Rome said, "...this is the first sign of a kill or be killed mentality by LeBron..."

E mail: "...and when I turn that list over to my big bro Dwayne, you guys are so dead!"

Tiger Woods

There is now a difference of opinion over whether or not Corey Pavin would offer a spot to Tiger Woods on the Ryder Cup team. 

Jim's take on Tiger catching Jack Nicklaus was more interesting.  Rome said, "...never the dominant force that he once was...that guy's dead, he's never coming back..I think Jack Nicklaus is safe."

E mails Contest Selections

   "Dear Jim. I agree. Tiger Woods will not return to what he was. Signed, Brad in Corona." Mike in Chicago  (Jim cracked on Mike for his spelling of Corona.)

"...I agree. No matter what your teammate says, you have to back him up. Signed, Peyton Manning."

"Dear Jim, If the Cards are bitches, what does that make a team that loses 3 straight to them?" (Jim said, "I don't know, Blaise. B.O.?...Don't get rhetorical with me.")

Text Contest Selections

"Hey Rome. What mental notes? Signed, GED holders."

Triple U: "...One table leg in the heart? Big deal. I've had 80 chicken wings in my stomach. Signed, Haynesworth."

Result: "You're BLOCKED!...for stupidity."

NFL

Jim started with the situation between the New York Jets and DB Darrelle Revis.

The Jets owner says Revis may sit out the entire year! Rome said not to doubt that since Darrelle is being advised by his uncle Sean Gilbert, a former player who did just that and got more money for it.

NBA 

Is Jeff Van Gundy messing with the Miami Heat? The former coach and current broadcaster predicted a few things: 

-The Heat will break the single season record for wins (72)

-The Heat will never lose two games in a row this season.

-The Heat have a shot at the consecutive wins record.

-Only the Lakers have any shot at beating the Heat for the Title.

Jim Rome thinks there is bad blood between the Van Gundy brothers and Pat Riley. Rome's theory is that the Heat are under the pressure of high expectations and will now have to answer questions about this all year.

"He's just picking his big bro up," Jim said of Van Gundy. Also, Jim believes none of these predictions!

Silva vs Sonnen

Jim brought up one angle of the fight he hadn't covered yet: "Do you know that Anderson Silva trained with Mason Storm? True story. Mason hasn't been mixing in much cardio."

Later, Jim wondered what Steven Segal could have taught Silva. Jim remarked, "As a Segal fan...How ridiculous is this? Why would one of the most gifted athletes in MMA train with one of the goofiest action movie fighters? ......It looks like he taught him to get his ass kicked for 4 1/2 rounds!.......Anderson, my advice: Send Mason back to the reality show or your next opponent will send you to the bank, the "blood bank".

E mails

After an interview with Golden State Warriors rookie guard, Jeremy Lin, who played college basketball at Harvard, Jim got this E mail: (paraphrased) Hey Jim, what is this Harvard you speak of? Signed, GED holders."  Stu in Manhattan on behalf of Mike in Chicago.

After an interview with Australian golfer Ian Baker Finch, Jim got this E mail: (paraphrased) "Hey Jim. Why do you keep having these Scottish and Irish people on? Can you ask him to speak English next time. Signed, The Clones."

Also...Stu in Manhattan.

Jim reset his interview yesterday with Giants pitcher Brian Wilson, who was in the news of late because of his orange spikes (cleats).

Brian in Syracuse sent this E mail:

  "Dear Jim,

   I agree, the color orange is scary. 

   Signed, A-Rods caked up grill."

Jim opened with Tiger Woods having his worst round of his career.

Rome said, "...hard to tell what's worse...his swing or his head."

MMA - Silva vs Sonnen

Rome: "...If that's not the greatest fight in UFC history, then it's in the conversation." 

More quotes, " ...Actually backed up his unbelievable smack...He (Sonnen) was so far ahead...It was stunning...astonishing." Jim also gave Silva credit for finding a way to win after taking such punishment, "Silva...warrior."

Jim told us he got many E mails saying, "That wasn't me tapping out Saturday night, Signed Chael Sonnen."

NFL

Emmit Smith's hall of fame speech was the best of the day according to Jim. Rome did, however, question why Smith left out any mention of his college alma mater, Florida. Smith did apologize, saying he was a few minutes over his allotted time...and that he forgot. Jim said, "You ran out of time or you forgot? I'm going to accept neither."

Tim Tebow

   The Bronco's rookie got "hazed" with a "Friar Tuck" looking haircut. Jim talked about Tim rolling with it and not complaining...and that he carries pads too. 

Jim joked, "...best way to get in with the coach is to look like him (if you play for Brad Childress). Also, "That's a pretty hideous look to rock."

E mails: (paraphrased) "That Tim Tebow haircut is.....Signed, Kitten Woods Goatee." Dave in St. Louis "Unwar the ten thousand "Tap Out" shirts I saw at Six Flags. Make the world a better place...punch an MMA fan in the face.

"Tim Tebow's haircut is ridiculous. Signed, people who tint their own windows (of there car)." Stu in Manhattan.

Another E mailer got BLOCKED just for his address! It was "Kirstieallyisfat@(insert Email provider).com.

Brian Wilson

The San Francisco Giants closer came on and had a lot of fun. He sounds familiar with the show. He did some self deprecating humor and told Jim that he was a ninja! When Jim closed and said, "Let's do it again..", Brian said, "We should do this a lot, 'cause I'm having fun!" Rome said that was one of his favorite responses by a guest ever.
