Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley

Clones, Comments, and Moments from Today's Show

NFL

The subject of big hits in the NFL continued today. Rome opened with a Brian Urlacher quote, "...It's freaking football......We should just put flags on everybody. Let's make it the NFFL; The National Flag Football League..."

Rome also thought it hypocritical that the NFL was profiting from pictures of one of the hits from this past weekend while now wanting to crack down on "devastating" hits.

Caller:

   Jim in Hartford Connecticut asked, "When are they going to install meters in helmets..."(To see if the hit was to hard)

Today's Interviews (Recapped at Jimrome.com)

- Ty Lawson (Denver Nuggets)

- Nolan Ryan

- Matt Cain (San Francisco Giants)

- Bill Romanowski

"I'm a baller!"

A University of Minnesota, Duluth, was arrested after resisting arrest and threatening police officers at "Grandma's Sports Garden". Robbie Aurich was

drunk. As police tried to arrest him after he shoved an officer, Robbie said, "I'm a 'baller'. I'll kick your ass. You're embarrassing me." And for good measure,  he added,"Do you think you can take me to the ground? I'll beat you up right now!."

Jim Rome said his favorite line was "You're embarrassing me." Jim added, "Don't Tase me, bro would've been so much better.....'You're embarrassing me'? Wait 'til you're convulsing on the ground..."

Clone Producer

 A clone, Paul Turner, got today's Matt Cain interview for Jim. Paul was apparently Matt's best man. Jim first called Paul a clone, then "at least a listener".  Jim added that he was giving Paul "production" credit. 

Rome then went "Hacksaw", "IIIIIII want to hear from Cliff Lee's best man!"

Romo

When there were delays in getting the Bill Romanowski interview, Jim told J. Stew, "Hey Stew. Tell Romo if he doesn't call, you will 'kill' him."

Quotes from Romo: "...If you don't like contact, play tennis or badminton..."

                            "David Rydell reached inside my mask and tried to rip my 

                             cheek off!.....I would have killed him....."

Text Contest

No Text Contest today. With time running out, Jim said he got a message from Steve Elkington saying today was a "Top shelf show". He also gave props on the Romanowski interview.
