Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Clones, Comments, and Moments from Today's Show

MLB

Jim began with the Tampa Bay Rays being eliminated from the playoffs, losing to the Texas Rangers.

He felt that this was their window of opportunity. "...That was your shot, right there."

Soccer Chant

Rome told the story of one of the Chilean miners who gave an chant/cheer upon his rescue. Jim said, "..then getting nice with this chant. (tape was played)...Mario! Incredible!...that was a soccer chant."

E mails: 

  

"Hey Jim. Can I get a 'Quad I YA!' for the Chilean miners?" - Nate in Edmonton

(Rome liked it. "I YA" was the exclamation that caller Fabian used yesterday.)

-Eric in Falls Church

 ("Loser" was cued.)

To Ray in Tampa (paraphrased) "...whose the loser now? You were at the door of the JRIB shout out.....then we say who you were and we slammed the door..."

(Jim commented that you can't take away from Eric that he is the only listener to get a shout out on JRIB besides Smack Off winners.)

After a Cole Hamels interview: "...Get that chubby call screener to work his magic .....I don't want all the Karma going to the Phillies.....War 'Smoke weed, talk bleep like Norv Turner'."

Ray in Tampa on hold

With Ray on hold, Rome played the call where Brad in Corona referenced him. This might have been part of the 2010 Smack Off. Brad parodied Ray taking his on air persona and attitude to other parts of his life, like his job.

Caller

Ray in Tampa

   He called in to "eat crow" about his Rays. He cracked back on Brad in Corona. He also claimed he was 39 years old...and a retired millionaire.

Rome then said Ray should do an infomercial and show how it's done!

E mails on the subject: 

"...Retired at 39?....Yeah we're 'retired' too. Signed, Detroit." -Lee in Vancouver

"Please explain to Ray that having a million boxes doesn't mean you're a millionaire."

Text Contest Selections

"Ray Ray's retired at 39? Dang! Wish I could say the same...The 'Ol Gunslinger."

"Dear Jim. Richt is going to get an 11 lid? All my lids are 11. Signed, Brandt's huge dome."

How to live like a retired millionaire on less than $250 a month,
