Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Clones, Comments, and Moments from Today's Show

#4

Brett Favre was the first topic again today! Jim started with, "The 'Ol Gunslinger is playing his 'look at me moment' to perfection." Rome then called what Favre is doing a "classic shakedown" and added, "I can't believe how the Vikings got worked by an old guy on a tractor." Reportedly, Favre may be looking at making $20 million instead of $13 million if he plays this year.

Rome brought up what some other players are saying about the situation. Reggie Bush was to have said, "Brett Favre suppose to make 13 mill this year...enough said. We'll see him September 9th in the Superdome."

Green Bay Packers linebacker Nick Barnett weighed in with, ".....We're going to have the same goal whether it's Tavaris, Jeffrey Dahmer, or Norman Bates quarterbacking..."

Rome said, "I don't think a Dahmer blast was warranted."

E mails on the subject:

"...Jeffrey Dahmer, Norman Bates?...Sounds like Nick is really killing it today. Signed, Jake Delhomme and Colt McCoy."

"Dear Jim. Favre's text is today's Triple U. Signed, Phil Guidry." Brian in Syracuse

"Dear Jim, 

Quarterbacks are not serial killers.....cereal killers. I'm coocoo for Coco Puffs. Signed, JaMarcus Russell." Blaise in KC

(Jim said, "...Blaise. Now you're back to being who you are....Did I not say you should not E mail anymore and go out a winner?")

Shaq

Rome does not like the signing of Shaquille O'neal by the Boston Celtics. He said the Celts are already an aging team. Also, Jim disagreed with Shaq's recent comment that he exceeded expectations during his career. In fact, Jim gave the statement an "AAAAAHHHH!"

A Rod

Jim commented on A Rod's struggles to hit homerun #600. Jim told Alex to stop gripping and "try easier"...because it doesn't matter. Jim said that in the steroid era, 600 is more like 400.

Later in the show, Jim reported that A Rod had hit #600

Truck Guy

Jim played a tape of Brett Favre being asked questions by a reporter while he was in his truck. The sound was not good because of Brett's loud truck! Rome called it a Hemi. Later, he took heat from "Truck Guy's" on the E mail who said that by the sound of it, it was a diesel engine that we heard. 

Jim said, "Ok, I was wrong!"

This set off a "border skirmish" between "Truck Guy" and "non-Truck Guy" on the E mails and texts.

Text Contest Selections

(paraphrased)

"War A Rod finally swinging the purse, puss." Pat (P90xer, I think)

"Unwar guys asking for a cup for water at a fast food restaurant and then going  and getting soda." Emilio Textavez

Triple U sponsor: "The guy I just saw stretching before playing 'Putt putt'."

Triple U: "...Come on Romey. I'll be your correspondent... don't need...just a big 'ol wheel of cheddar will do me fine. Rattily yours, Shanny."

Result: "...That's the most BLOCKED text in a long time..."
