Jim Rome Clone Report

Notes on Today's Show

Topics:

Cam Newton
   Rome recalled that Cam didn't want to "beat a dead horse". His coach called the academic cheating allegations "garbage". Now, Rome tells us, ESPN is reporting that Newton's father either directly or endirectly solicited Mississippi State for....."He's going to need more than a scholarship". Another source says that Cam said his dad chose Auburn because "...the money was too much".
Rome said, "Uh Oh!......nothing is proven, yet each day it looks worse and worse...Now it's full blown, allegedly."

Miami Heat
   Jim cracked on the Heat for blowing a 22 point lead at home. "...Paul Milsap went Reggie Miller...11 points in 28 seconds....You might want to step out on that guy..."


E mail: "Dear Wade Phillips: Tell me about life in the unemployment line. Signed, Erik Spoelstra". - Brian in Syracuse

Derek Jeter
   The Yankee shortstop won the Gold Glove. Rome said, "...incredible...While he won't give it back, he should."

Dennis Dodd
   He came on to talk about Cam Newton. The good part was at the end of the interview when Rome told Dodd, "Don't let clones get you into a Twitter war over the Rat Family."

Braylon Edwards
   The Jets are headed to C-Town and Edwards says he has something for his former team. He told the Cleveland fans to have their popcorn ready.

An E mail came in ".....I thought he was a popcorn guy with all that butter on his fingers." Jim added the "Hey-O!"

Houston Station Trip
   Jim will appear at the House of Blues for an after party. The venue seats 1,000 and Jim called it the closest thing to a Tour Stop since the end of the Tour Stops. Confirmed guests include: Steve Elkington, Eric Winston, and Shane Battier. Rome also said that Boatie in Pearland has RSVP'd. Jim then call out Rachel in Houston again, "Rachel, where are you?"

Twitter

"I can't wait for the goat bearded hoof handed Braylon to get knocked out by T.J. Ward this weekend. Get him boss Ward!" - Tylerkaufman77

"The @jimrome @HOBHouston event will be special! Why? 1. Me 2. @boatiepearland 3. @ericwinston 4. Elk 5. Battier " - @stucknut (Steve in Houston)

E mails

An E mailer in Cleveland wrote that they were "shaking in there shoes" over Braylon Edwards return.
Stu in Manhattan later E mailed warning Jim about "fake" E mails. He said something to the effect of being hard pressed to find someone in Cleveland that could afford both shoes and a computer to E mail Rome with.

(Paraphrased)
"...Did you say that the Texans cheerleaders may be at the Houston event? I'll be there. Regards, Baldrick." (Jim said, "That's stupid." He went on to read the war, "Make the world a better place. Punch that Manhattan hot dog vendor, Stu, in the face.")

After we learned that Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh called quarterback Andrew Luck the finest player he's ever known, we got an E mail:

"Vic is the finest smack runner I've ever met..." (paraphrased)
     by.....Victor by Broadway (Vic in NoCal)
