Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Clones, Comments, and Moments from Today's Show

Hour one

Jim started with comments on Manny Ramirez needing an interpreter in Chicago. "Sammy Sosa thought that was convenient....Manny being Manny used to be funny. Now it's just lame......I knew it would end badly there. I just didn't know it would start badly..." 

Aroldis Chapman

   Jim called the Reds pitcher "The nastiest, filthiest man alive". This is in response to his reported 105mph pitch clocking last week in the minors. He "only" hit 102.7 in his major league debut.  Rome also raved about Chapman's slider and remarked, "...some of the most electric filth I've ever seen..."

Bling

   Jim talked about NFLer Kendall Langford losing a diamond on the practice field. This led to Rome saying they should bring out "Metal Detector Guy". He asked how much the metal detector costs, "$200 plus the cost of your dignity?" Jim went on, "...I wouldn't rock the bling...so some old kook with a (metal detector and a ) burlap sack doesn't end up with it..."

Hour 2

The whole hour was on "Fantasy Football Draft Room Guy". The subsets were as follows: 

 1. The Jerk

 2. The stat geek

 3. "Wing it" guy

 4. The Drunk

"War bums using..."  Jim said, "You're BLOCKED!

"He then referenced the guy using being an insider as a shield to getting BLOCKED. Jim continued with the rest, "...using their hands as binoculars." Then, "You're BLOCKED!" again.

Triple U sponsor: "Guys on Fantasy message boards who get political."

Triple U: "Hey Rome. You said it's tough to get eleven friends. Not me. I've got eleven. Signed, Hersh." (This texter was also a "Jungle Insider". Rome said, "One insider got BLOCKED. Another got warned.")
