NFL
Jets lose the the Ravens
Two words, "...insufficient funds". Jim said the Jets didn't have enough to cash the checks they were writing with their preseason smack running.
Jim went on, "That was a one point beatdown. I don't care what the score was....All that talking was bad.....Given all the noise they made in the preseason, that effort was unforgiveable....that's a bad effort."
"Potsie-gate reset
Jim reset the events of yesterday. The show was not set up to go that way yesterday. It just evolved. Henry Winkler was not a planned guest. In fact, Jim told us he had to face a battery of questions by both J. Stew and Kyle Brandt. Rome was impressed that Mr.Winkler rolled with it and provided a classic Jungle moment.
Caller on the subject:
Greg in Sun Valley
I called and expressed dismay at how Brett Favre was actually reverse engineering Fonzie's smack back in January when he hit the world with "I told Percy I'd do this!" I also wondered aloud if the Vikings would now finish in 8th place in the NFC. (8th place in the Smack Off???)
More NFL
Jim said that Ray Lewis at 35 years of age is still the baddest man in the NFL.
E mail on the subject:
"Dear Jim, ...35 years old and killing it in the league...Always good to see a veteran taking a 'stab' at it."
(Jim then reset how Hines Ward took a run at Ray Lewis with similar comments a few years back - Presumably referring the allegations years back that Ray Lewis was involved in the killing of a man. Lewis was sentenced to a year of probation for obstructing justice in the stabbing deaths of two men according to Comcast.net sports.)
KC Chiefs looked good. They beat the Chargers last night.
E mail on the subject:
"...It looks like the Chargers have a pretty bumpy road ahead if they are going to make the playoffs. Signed,...(Jim then said, "I'm not going to read that!")
Jets
Late word just in: Chris Jenkins out for the season with a torn ACL. Rome called it, "Devastating."
Caller
Styles in Long Beach
He called about the Jets vs Ravens game. Styles said the Ravens didn't start dominating until later in the game. He feels the Jets hurt themselves with all the penalties they got. He added that they just need to tweek the offense a little.
Happy Days Wikipedia update
Someone edited the page to indicate that the reason Fonzie jumped the shark was that he "told Potsie he'd do it".
Tiger Woods mouth
Rome mentioned a report by Radar Online that says Tiger Woods is using a lot of profanity in practice.
Jim referenced the old Tiger line by saying, "The golf course looks bleeping good. My swing feels bleeping good..."
GED War
Another war of word took place between GED holders and those that run smack on them. Chris H in Houston wrote in against those smacking GED holders: "...Don't call them clones, Rome, since they don't rep you (on this)."
E mail Contest Entry
"Hey Rome. That was such a surreal moment in the Jungle yesterday. I've been listening almost over a year now...I will never forget it." Joe in the Valley. "War Henry becoming a regular in the Jungle."
(Jim then said that Henry Winkler had told KB that he watches Jim's TV show, "Jim Rome is Burning".)
Text Contest Selections
"War Bo Pelini choking out the memory of Boll Callahan with each passing week."
"Jets....triple U: Uninspired, Unswaggered, and Un-winning."
"...after last nights performance....Rex is a dogs name!"
Triple U sponsor: "The guy who opens the door for his friends and says, 'ladies first'."
Triple U: "....Yo Rome,....war bums using GED's as a diploma".
Result: "You're BLOCKED!"
