Correction to yesterday's post
(Jim said the text contest should be called the "stupidest text ever" not the "worst text ever" - Thanks to Brian for that)
Today's Show
MLB
Rome began with Derek Jeter's actions in the Yankees game vs the Rays.
Jeter was awarded first base after being "hit" by a pitch. It turns out he wasn't hit by the pitch. Jim told us that now people a questioning his integrity after he acted like he was hit by the pitch. Jim said, "So what!.....happens all the time....He did nothing wrong." Further, Jim repeated the old saying, "If you're not cheating, you're not trying. And it's only cheating if you get caught". That's a baseball saying, not something Jim Rome made up.
Jim did say that his only problem with the incident was Jeter's overplaying his acting like he got hit.
E mails on the subject: (paraphrased) "Dear Jim. If Manny or A Rod did what Jeter did, they would be hearing it from the same people that are praising Jeter.
"Dear Jim. I really, really liked Jeter's acting. Signed, Gina Gershon's Yugoslavian accent."
Rome as Hacksaw
An E mail came in from a guy that, I believe, just moved to San Diego. He wanted a "Hacksaw" impersonation. (He did so without mentioning Hacksaw by name. His name never gets mentioned when this comes up!)
Jim did it, "IIIIIII (hold the "I" very long) want to hear from somebody in Pacific Beach....Lemon Grove....Are you not paying your cell phone bill?....Oceanside! Mission Beach!.....all the beaches.....Tijuana!..."
Then, as he went to a commercial, Rome added, "...Without P90X, I couldn't do that..."
Ryan Clark
Jim did an interview with the Pittsburgh Steelers Safety that went over real well. At the end, Ryan asked Jim to make him a correspondent for Jim Rome is Burning.
Chael Sonnen
The MMA smack talker is back. This time he takes shots a Georges St. Pierre and Brock Lesnar amongst others. To St. Pierre, he said, "..Bring your $3000 suit, bring your $3 date and get the 3 cent tan knocked off your socialist back."
To Lesnar, he said, "...I'd slap you in the face, and you wouldn't do anything......'I'm Brock Lesnar. I've got this $5 haircut and a knife tattooed on my chest.'....I'll shove it up your face if you get in Chael Sonnen's way..."
Jim said, "This guy is certifiable. Certifiably awesome!....Half club stand up (comedy), half Smack Off call.
Smack Off
Someone mentioned putting Sonnen in the Smack Off. Jim said that if they got him, and explained the format....He'd win! Rome talked about getting him off his peers and getting him after the callers. "I'm Vic in NoCal....," Jim said.
Canada vs USA
Sonnen's comments renewed that E mail rivalry. The last one read had Chris in Canada going after a guy in Kansas City. Chris mentioned starting the whole
"Fonzie/Potsie bit earlier in the week. "Scoreboard," Chris wrote.
"Fonzie/Potsie bit earlier in the week. "Scoreboard," Chris wrote.
Text Contest Selections
"Unwar the guy that wears sunglasses to a friendly Poker game."
"I would expect this behavior from Jeter or one of the other 8 a-holes wearing pin stripes on the field."
Triple U sponsor: "Local bands who take group pictures in front of brick walls." Chad in H-Town
Triple U: "Smacka doodle do,
What Jeter did was dirty and bush league,
yours,
KB house hunting in Hermosa" - Ugly Bob
Result: "Ugly Bob. You're warned...The only thing keeping you in this game is your handle...."
