Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Clones, Comments, and Moments from Today's Show

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."
