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."
