Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Jim started off referencing being "fresh off a nice 72." (3 day weekend)
Topic-wise, Rome started wlith the MNF game between the NY Jets and the Miami Dolphins. He said Chad Henne looked good for Miami, but isn't Dan Marino yet. Jim said Henne was helped by Ricky Williams and Ronny Brown in the "Wildcat" offense. They surprised the Jets 31-27. Jets coach Rex Ryan dismissed the Wildcat and blamed his defenses poor performance.
Early E mails
"Entitlement" Eric (with requisite "Loser" song playing) : "Dear Jim, We think that Miami found their QB...
... make the world a better place, punch Dave in St. Louis and his lame shtick in the face..."
J
Dave in St. Louis: "Hey Van Smack, After the series that the playoff choking purple lipstick wearer had against the Twins, it's time to give Alexis Broadriguez a 'Drug Check' ..."
Other topics
Browns beat the Bills...with their QB going 2 for 17. Rome said, "that's bad".
49ers lose.
Rome, "That thud you hear is the 49ers crashing back to Earth"
Phillies come back against the Rockies in game 4 to win the series. Jim said that for Colorado it was a "gut wrenching loss."
Denver Broncos beat the Patriots
Rome said, "Josh McDaniels is incredible. No one thought they would win 5 games this year. Now they are 5-0." Jim later called Coach McDaniels a prodigy.
Romes "Rick Roll"
Jim came on in the 3rd hour and said he needed an old school caller to come in and pick him up. Coming back from a break, Jim said he had Jim in Fall River on the line. He even played an old call of Jim's. Then when he introduced him and went to him...a song played. Then Rome said, "Yeah like that guy was going to call. You just got "Rick Rolled". (Vic in NoCal had previously sent an E mail saying he had "Rick Rolled" Jay Mohr.)
Guests
Colt McCoy (Texas Longhorns QB)
Colt said they didn't play consistently against Colorado, but gave their defense credit for keeping them in the game until the offense was able to rally. They are now looking foward to the rivalry game against Oklahoma. Rome asked him if he would like to see Sam Bradford at his best or would he just like a win. Colt said he wanted to beat Oklahoma at their best. Also, he wished Bradford well. They had roomed together at a camp in 2008.
Ben Francisco (Philadelphia Phillies)
He was traded at the deadline and is now with the Phillies and in the NLCS. Ben says it feels good. The trade did catch him off guard, though. Ben is a "Jungle" guy. He took a picture of a guy smoking a pipe and sent it to Ryan Garko, who sent it in to Jim Rome.
Terrell Suggs (Baltimore Ravens)
He hated to lose against the Bengals on Sunday. Suggs said it sucked to give up 127 yard to Cedric Benson. Chad Ochocinco said he wanted to box Terrell Suggs. Terrell said he's ok with Chad. "It's all in good fun...He doesn't really want to get in a dog fight with me...all of us know Chad... I'm a fan of his."
Text Contest
"Hey Rome. Dude, I literally interrupted a conversation with my wife to hear Jim in Fall River's call, only to get "Rick, line, and sinkered. Well played." Vince in the 909
"Hey Rome. Please tell me you say that commercial with Miss Teen South Carolina hocking pistachios."
"Van Smaaack! Maybe we can't win the big game, but at least we don't lose them all. Lendale White sucks. Signed Buckeye Nation."

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Jim said he is "working on a 72", meaning he is off on Monday.
Jim started with the Nebraska vs Missouri college football game. The Cornhuskers came away with a big win. They had done nothing for 3 quarters and were down 12-0 going into the fourth quarter. They came on strong and won 27-12. Jim said, "..Still not officially back, but they are in the red zone." "Should Bo Pelini give them back the blackshirts?", Rome asked. Jim said he would not just yet, but called the game a big win for Nebraska.
MLB Playoffs
Dodgers vs Cardinals (game 2). Rome, "Lights or no lights, white towels or no white towels, St. Louis left fielder Matt Holliday has to come up with that liner at Dodger Stadium yesterday." If he would have, the Cardinals would've gotten a split in LA. Instead, they are down 0-2. Jim said he thinks the Cardinals are dead in the water.
E mail from Dave in St. Louis
"Hey Van Smack. After watching the Cards choke away their season...we in St. Louis need a pick me up. Romey, please give me the only thing that will put a smile back on my face: the Larry Brown gym call. Jim said no.
Consolation Video for Dave in St. Louis
Michael Vick may be getting a reality show. Rome said that is something Vick can do, but should not do.
E mail
Citing yesterday's topic of taking pictures of guys smoking pipes or guys with mustaches, an E mail was sent in with a picture. It was not a guy with a pipe or a mustache. It was a picture of a lady driving a Mercedes wearing a bicycle helmet! Jim said," that is one of my favorite pictures also."
Guests
Mark Loretta (LA Dodgers)
Mark got the hit to drive in the winning run in the bottom of the 9th inning last night against the Cardinals. He said it was the biggest hit of his career. (1700+ hits) He is an LA area native and came "home" when joining the Dodgers. Three generations of Loretta's were there last night and that made the moment all the more special. Mark also said it was unfair to put all the blame for the loss on Matt Holliday.
William Gay (Pittsburgh Steelers)
He gave the Jungle the 4th "yeah" of the "Quad Yeah".
Will is happy and proud to now be a starter on a great Pittsburgh defense. He was told by his uncle when picked by the Steelers that he would have to be physical and be ready to be mean out there.
Jim explained that first we had the "Triple Yeah" and Will's "YEAH" during the Super Bowl celebration was added to make it the "Quad Yeah". Rome played both versions for Will. Will laughed and said, "I like that. I like that."
Justin Tuck (NY Giants)
The Giants are 4-0. Rome asked if Justin had seen like the rash of injuries that they are having. He said not really. Justin said Eli Manning doesn't get the credit for his toughness. Also, Eli had changed as a player and a man. He has come into his own as a leader. Tuck told us that coach Tom Coughlin has a leadership council made up of players from the team that regularly meet with him.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
(note: There appeared to be a problem with the streamlink of the show. Therefore today's report is based on memory helped by segment headings on jimrome.com. Also, quotes are paraphrased.)
Jim started off mentioning the Yankees vs Twins game. He said if ever there was a must win game one game, this was it for the Yankees. The Twins were riding high on adrenaline and the Yankees could not afford to lose. They did not lose. It was a good win for C.C. Sabathia. Rome was thankful he didn't have to read a bunch of Cottage Cheese Sabathia E mails today.
Callers
Kathy in Sacramento called in with some good takes. The best was her crack in Brendan Ryan's mustache. After, Jim said he didn't know if he should run her or invite her to the Smackoff. Then Jim began to talk about mustaches. He said it's rare to see a guy that's not a cop or fireman with a mustache only (no goatee).
John in Omaha referanced Jim mentioning they were having the 1000th "Jim Rome is Burning" show today. John said it had been 1200 days since he had a stroke. At first John was calm. Later in the call, when talking about the Nebraska vs Missouri football game, he began to increase his rate, volume, and excitement. He said the Karma was with Nebraska since Rome had Coach Bo Pelini on twice this year. After a bit, Jim took over. Jim said he wanted to make sure John made it to 1201 days since his stroke.
Guests
Vince Vaughn (Actor)
Jim ran into Vince on his recent vacation to Bora Bora. Vince was shooting his new movie. During the call today, Vince asked for Jim's help with who to play in his fantasy football league. After the call, Rome was commenting on how nice and engaging Vince was to everyone while Jim saw him on the island.
Bryan Kelly (Cincinnati Bearcats Football coach)
Cincinnati is ranked in the top ten and above Ohio State. Rome asked him about it. Bryan tried to stay away from cliches. Though still early, and polls can't tell all, Kelly acknowledged his team is good. He said he can embrace the ranking. It can help in recruiting and building the program.
Jack Del Rio (Jacksonville Jaguars coach)
Jim talked with him about QB David Gerrard. Del Rio had to recently point out some sub par play. Gerrard is the type of guy to take criticism well and has improved. They also spoke of the release of long time RB Fred Taylor. It was done with the utmost respect. Maurice Jones-Drew is now their #1 RB.
Text Contest
Good E mail and Texts came in. Many were on mustaches and John in Omaha. Without the streamlink, I cannot list them word for word as I usually do.
Video
In honor of the discussion of mustaches, I post this video where I sport a mustache as Randy Johnson. The video has been on YouTube.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Jim greeted the audience, then gave the phone number and said, "Call J. Stew. Convince him you've got a good take."
Big Story
Braylon Edwards has been traded to the NY Jets. Rome's take: "If Braylon Edwards knew that all he had to do to get off that sinking ship in C-Town was to 'dot' one of Lebron's guys eyes, he probably would have done it a lot sooner. Who says crime doesn't pay?"
Michael Crabtree finally signs with the 49ers. Rome saw no point in his prolonged hold out. Jim then let us know, "...team Crabtree reportedly rolled in to negotiations with...wait for it... wait a little longer...MC Hammer. That's right. What? Did Crabtree's agent, Eugene Parker, push away from his desk, throw his hands int the air and say, 'Alright...stop, Hammer time!' " Gold parachute pants, suspenders, Cash for Gold commercials, and 'Too Legit to Quit' all came out as a result.(In sound bites and comments and E mails.)
Twins Vs Tigers
A 12 inning win for the Twins. Jim acknowleged it was a great game, but said, "It was a bigger tank, a bigger choke. They blew a 3 game lead with 4 to play. ...That's a game that never should have been played."
Minnesota as the center of the sports world
First it was the Vikings and Brett Favre beating the Packers, then the Twins win the 1 game playoff on the same field. Then in St. Paul the Minnesota Wild come back from a 3-0 deficit to beat the Ducks in OT.
Jim Rome doesn't like NFL anylists saying, "National Football League" over and over instead of using the acronym "NFL".
Guests
Mitch Williams (MLB Network, former MLB pitcher)
He said he would not write off the Twins (vs Yankees). Mitch agreed with Rome that C.C. Sabathia was brought in to the Yankees to win in the post season. He picks the Phillies over the Rockies in the first round in the National League. He spoke candidly about his career and the disappointment he felt when traded from the Phillies.
Darren Sharper (New Orleans Saints)
The Saints are 4-0. Darren gave Defensive Coach Greg Williams a lot of credit for the success of the defense so far. Schemes, mentality, and an emphasis on creating turnovers have all been taught by Williams.
Darren has 59 interceptions in his career and is chasing Ronnie Lott, who retired with 63.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Jim started of with the Minnesota vs Green Bay game from last night. He said, "I didn't think the old gunslinger still had THAT in him...Is it 2009 or 1996? I can't tell.....Clearly it was worth it to bring Brett Favre in and pay him 12 mil.......I've got a throat full of crow, and there is not a glass of water big enough to wash it all down." Jim did say, however, that he still feels the Packers did the right thing in letting him go. Also, "The Vikings are the team to beat."
Miguel Cabrera
He not only got arrested after a fight with his wife, but reportedly told a teenager that had earlier come to him for an autograph, "Hey, big guy. You need to hit the gym." (The kid was over weight.) He allegedly also threatened the kid and his friend.
Braylon Edwards
The Browns WR reportedly punched a member of Lebron James' "crew" in the face. Edwards is 6'3", 215 lbs. and the guy, Edward Gibbons, is 5'7" 135lbs. Lebron called the act childish, and said the appropriate people would deal with it.
Caller
David in Wisconsin called in saying he was a Packer fan for 50 years. As he continued to speak, Rome asked him if, in fact, he had said "50 years". The guy would not stop talking. Jim repeatedly said, "David, David...David". Finally Jim had to run him.
Guests
Champ Bailey (Denver Broncos)
He said people had written them off during the off season. He is glad they are 4-0, but says it's just the start and they have a lot of work to do. Champ feels the key to winning in the NFL is to keep getting better.
He appeared confident in coach Josh McDaniels saying," He knows football." The Broncos face the Patriots next and Champ will likely cover Randy Moss. Champ gave Moss a lot of respect.
Phil Simms (CBS Sports, former Giants QB)
Of Champ Bailey, Phil said,"He's one of the best corners I have ever watched on a football field in my life." He, too, said the Broncos were well coached. Of Brett Favre, "Back in '95 I said Brett was a special talent." He rates Favre's arm #1 all time when it comes to physically making throws.
Bryant McKinnie (Minnesota Vikings)
Bryant said there was a lot of energy in the Dome last night. Rome asked if Brett Favre had won the team over last night of before last night. Bryant said before last night. He likes Brett and says he is a motivator.
Now 30, McKinnie said he cut his braids and has a short haircut. Also, he is more serious about taking care of his body.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Jim wished the audience a "Tremendous Monday".
A few minutes later, he pretended he didn't remember who was playing in tonight's Monday Night Football game. Then of course ....
The Minnesota Vikings vs the Green Bay Packers
Jim called it "the most hyped regular season game in the history of the world". Yet he said he is looking foward to seeing it. As far as Brett Favre vs Aaron Rogers, Rome said, "Aaron Rogers is the better quarterback at this time. However, the Vikings are a better team ...and will win."
Rome, "Denver Broncos, Josh McDaniels...Karma (Aka, Jungle Karma: Good things happening to people recently on the show or are big supporters of the Jim Rome Show).
The Broncos are 4-0
E mail on the subject : "Hey Romy, can I get a "Quad Yeah" , signed 4-0 Josh McDaniels." Nate in Edmonton. "War '5 Hour Energy' and the 'portable buzzer'. Unwar flight delays." (Rome noted that Nate misspelled "Romey") Is this the same Nate in Edmonton who was the first caller ever to get run by the "portable buzzer"? (My question)
On Josh McDaniels, Jim Rome surmised that he may be the best to come out of Bill Belichick's stable.
Baseball
The Minnesota Twins will host the Detroit Tigers in one game to decide the last American League playoff spot. Rome, "Are the Tigers going to finish off that choke?"
Richard Seymour
Formerly of the Patriots, Seymour is now a Raider. Jim said, "...3 weeks later he (Seymour) has been totally institutionalized into the Raider way." Seymour was fined $7500 for pulling the hair of a Denver Bronco player. Asked if it was accidental, Seymour said, "...it was no mistake, brother." This led to a sound bite of Hulk Hogan saying "brother" as he did in interviews. This sound bite was played in funny ways several times before the end of the show.
Calls
Many more calls than usual were taken today. A lot were about Brett Favre. One lady, Michelle in Little Rock, Arkansas said only people in Wisconson were upset with Brett Favre. She then said to Jim, "I think you're being a big baby."
Guests
Antonio Freeman (Former Green Bay Packer)
He is the third Packer in three shows to come on and talk about the upcoming game. He is the first to support Brett Favre, for the most part. He said, "It was weird to see him in purple......I support Brett." He also said he believes that Brett just wants to play football.
Tom Verducci (Sports Illustrated writer)
He came on to talk baseball. Jim asked about "game 163" for the Twins and the Tigers. Tom said Minnesota is dangerous at home and therefore home field advantage will really mean something in this game. Rome asked if Tom felt the Tigers "put it in cruise" with their big lead in the division. Tom did not. He said they just started having problems hitting. Jim then asked if Joe Mauer should win the MVP award, and would he win it. Tom said Mauer should win it and will win it.
Text Contest
(Produced by Jason Stewart. Rome said,"You've been warned.")
"War Hulk Hogan vs Dan Hawkins." ("Brother" sound bites)
Triple U sponsors: "The BMW 550 I saw yesterday with the license plate "5fiddy"
"People that use turn signals in parking structures."
Actual Triple U: "Hey Rome, it looks lide Shawn Merriman and Lendale White are both struggling since they ditched the "Tequila". Go 'head Lyle. Hit me with a Triple U." Spence
Response: "Ok. How 'bout we hit you with a Block!"

Tom said Minnesota is dangerous at home and therefore home field advantage will really mean something in this game. Rome asked if Tom felt the Tigers "put it in cruise" with their big lead in the division. Tom did not. He said they just started having problems hitting. Jim then asked if Joe Mauer should win the MVP award, and would he win it. Tom said Mauer should win it and will win it.
Text Contest
(Produced by Jason Stewart. Rome said,"You've been warned.")
"War Hulk Hogan vs Dan Hawkins." ("Brother" sound bites)
Triple U sponsors: "The BMW 550 I saw yesterday with the license plate "5fiddy"
"People that use turn signals in parking structures."
Actual Triple U: "Hey Rome, it looks lide Shawn Merriman and Lendale White are both struggling since they ditched the "Tequila". Go 'head Lyle. Hit me with a Triple U." Spence
Response: "Ok. How 'bout we hit you with a Block!"

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Note: I listened to the show today on the road. I started listening on the LA affiliate am570. Going north on I-5 I switched to the Bakersfield affiliate 970am. All was good. I switched to the Fresno affiliate around Visalia (traveling on I-99). I was not able to stop and say hi to Joan in Visalia. Right around Chowchilla the signal began to weaken. What happened to the Merced affiliate??? Oh no! I am going to miss the text contest. I was unable to get on the stream link. My apologies.
Summary of todays show
Jim started off with a "YEAH!" Alvin then played a "Quad Yeah". And so began Friday's show. Jim mentioned taking a call in the first segment which he doesn't usually do, especially since the new clock began.
Rome started off talking about the upcoming Packers vs Vikings game on Monday night. He said, "Brett Favre : Legend , gunslinger, ...liar." Jim called Favre that because Favre said the game against the Packers wasn't about revenge. "Of course it is...or you wouldn't have asked the Jets for your release so you could sign with the Vikings", said Jim.
Jim took that first segment call. I don't remember the guy's name. I do remember the caller saying, "Brett Favre still sucks..." A little bit later I heard a sound come out of Jim Rome's mouth, "AAAHHH". I believe that was the manual buzzer. Rome then said, "Saying someone sucks is still not a take..."
Commentary/Request
Dear Jim,
Feel free to drop the portable buzzer on such callers.
Yours, Greg in Sun Valley
Other stories
Allen Iverson said his year with the Detroit Pistons was the worst in his career. AI said they lied to him, saying they wouldn't bring him off the bench. Rome's take: "You start the best 5 players, you weren't one of them."
Ted Williams
(Jim warned the following story is graphic in nature)
A book about to come out tells a gruesome story of lab technicians at the facility where Ted Williams was cryogenically frozen. We are told the technicians decapitated Williams and hit his head repeatedly with a monkey wrench. Jim was appalled. He called the people involved "Freaks, kooks, and ghouls......morbid, soulless, greaseballs."
The city of Chicago was not awarded the 2016 Olympics. Rio de Janeiro was awarded the Games. Jim played a sound clip of the announcement and inserted Billy Sims shouting "boomer,boomer" amongst the applause.
Guests
Leroy Butler (former Green Bay Packer)
When asked about playing in Minnesota, he said he hated going to the inside the dome their. Rome asked whether he thought Brett Favre was looking at the upcoming game as a revenge game. Leroy said it was human nature to want to show those that thought you could no longer play effectively that they were wrong.
Leroy also mentioned fans in Green Bay having a "Favreque" where they a bringing Brett Favre items and burning them.
Ray Malaluga (Cincinnati Bengals)
He has a knee sprain. Jim asked him if he could play Sunday. Ray said that his parents brought him up that if it's not bleeding, broken, or obviously torn (ligaments), then you're ok to go. They also talked about the Bengals' comeback win against the Steelers.
Chone Figgins (LA Angels)
Jim asked Chone about Nick Adenhart. Figgins said Nick was a little quiet but funny. He loved being with his teammates and was a gamer.
The Angels recently clinch the AL West title and may face the Red Sox in the playoffs. Chone has played several positions but doesn't mind as long as he is playing in the field and batting in the 1 or 2 spot.
Caller
"Smooth Joe in Hollywood" called in. After most of his take, Jim came on in his "Smooth Joe" imitation voice and asked him to raise his volume next time. He said Joe was almost too smooth.
An E mail response to Joe sent Jim into a "Wrestling" take. (If you know what I mean.)
