Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Jim opened up with college football, specifically the Ohio State situation. After their loss to Purdue, more is being said about Terrell Pryor and how coach Jim Tressel is using him. Jim brought up teammate DeVier Posey's comment. Jim said,"...(Posey) finally rushed to Pryor's defense, I think. Posey said, and I quote, 'There's only one Tim Tebow in this world, and I don't really know what people want from Pryor. He's going to get better. He really can't do much worse', end of quote. UH OH!" Rome said maybe that didn't come out right. Even Pryor's high school coach weighed in, "I'd like to see some zone read plays where, with one mistake by the defense, he can be gone..." Rome added, "The guy's right. You don't recruit terrell Pryor and try to turn him into Bobby Hoying." Why bring him in and not adjust the system, was Jim's point. Pryor said Lebron James is mentoring him.
Speaking of Lebron
Maxim magazine asked Lebron who he would like to dunk on in the world. James said if it didn't have to be a basketball player it would be George W. Bush. This led to many comments and E mails.
Washington Redskins
Rome asked, "How's your week going, Jim Zorn?...Zorn will not be better for having gone through this catastrophe...Do the right thing, man. Put Zorn out of his misery. If they're going to fire him, and they are, do it now."
Philadelphia Phillies
They are headed to the World Series. They celebrated, but only mildly. The talk was of 4 more games. However, Philly fans celebrated wildly. Jim played a news clip telling of one guy climbing a tree and another trying to knock him out with a "Roman candle". Jim asked if they did this for and NLCS win, what will they do if they win the World Series, especially over the Yankees? He added, "It's going to be awesome!"
Jeff Fisher situation
Now some of his players are commenting on his appearance at a charity event where he wore a Colts jersey to "feel what it's like to be a winner". Keith Bulluck said, "It didn't make me laugh at all." Jim Rome still said Fisher did nothing wrong.
"All the Way Turnt Up"
Jim told us this song is the rallying cry of the Georgia Tech football team. It repeats those five words continuously. The take: "It's repetitive, but catchy." This topic also garnered a lot of audience response.
Callers
Mike in Tacoma called and covered many topics in rapid succession. He got run! Jim said, "Self edit, man!"
Smack Off runner up Mike in Indy also called. He cracked on Joe in Hollywood, Jeff Fisher, and the Yankees. He also renewed his fued with Brad in Corona, and , of course, ended his call with, "I do declare. I do declare. Now I'm done...Rack me!"
Guests
Paul Johnson (Football coach of Georgia Tech)
They just got a home win over a top five team, Virginia Tech. It was a big win for the program because Virginia Tech has been top dog in their conference for so long. There were doubts his system would work on "this level". Georgia Tech runs the ball a lot. Some have said they are "3 yards and a cloud of dust". Paul disagreed since they have the most plays over 50 yards in the conference.
Jalen Rose (Former NBA and University of Michigan star)
Rome brought up a soon to be released book about Magic Johnson and Isaiah Thomas. Magic said Isaiah was blackballed from the 1992 Olympic team. It was said no one on the team wanted Thomas on the team, not just Michael Jordan. Jalen's response, "First off. This story has my stomach in knots. I have personal relationships with both of these gentlemen...this hurts me dearly... The Dream Team scenario... That's something that we always knew. It's just now being confirmed." Then Jim continued, "Even worse in the book, there is an accusation from Magic that Isaiah was responsible for spreading rumors that Johnson was gay or bisexual after Johnson tested positive for HIV...Thomas has vehemently denied that he ever said anything like that behind Magis'c back." Jalen repeated, "My stomach is in knots." Then continued, "I'm shocked, angry, and so hurt...I want to get to the bottom of it." Jim then asked, "Who do you believe?" Jalen answered, "I will find out."

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Jim started with...
ALCS
The Yankees laid a beat down on the Angels last night. Rome said, "Jow Girardi went from being a guy who overmanaged and over thought everything to a genius overnight. Because bringing back CC Sabathia on 3 days rest turned out to be a brilliant play."
NLCS
Manny Ramirez missed the end of Monday's game while taking a shower. Rome said it has been a while but "Planet Man Ram" is back. Rome went on, "I'd say it's good to be back, but, it's not." Manny is quoted as saying, "I was taking a shower. I came out and I saw it on television..." Rome continued, "My man, you're not supposed to find out whether or not you won from John Kruk. You're on the team."
John Hancock commercials
There was discussion and E mails about depressing "John Hancock" financial T.V.commercials. Rome called them "the most depressing commercials ever...brutal." They are about terminal illnesses, retirement money lost, etc.
Rolling Stone Magazine
The publication did and article on Brown's coach Eric Mangini. It referred to him as the "Augustus Gloop" of the NFL and said he's brought "a hurricane Andrew of football mismanagement to Cleveland." Jim said, "Nice Wonka smack, Rolling Stone." Many jokes, sound bytes and E mails came up on the subject.
Callers
Richard in the ATL was on hold 2 hours, 15 minutes. He told J. Stew he had some "zingers". References he used: "Brother", "struggling" (twice), "now I'm done", and an original zinger, "T-Pain" for Terrell Pryor. He got racked!
Nate in Portland got run by the "manual buzzer".
Guests
Jimmie Johnson (#48 NASCAR)
He has won 3 of the first 5 races in the chase playoff. Jim said it appeared Jimmie's 4th championship was his to lose, then asked him if he could taste it. Jimmie responded, " I can see it out there...It's tough to get too excited about things. I mean in our sport there's so many variables that can come up and bite you during the course of a race. They also discussed how some say Jimmie's recent dominance is actually not good for the sport.
Visanthe Shianco (Minnesota Vikings)
He had 2 TD receptions on Sunday. He says their offense is emphasizing a balance of pass and run. Previously, Adrian Peterson was carring the weight of the offense. He said teammate Percy Harvin is very hard to tackle. Of Jared Allen, he said,"...motor never stops, relentless...he practices just like he plays. He also told us Brett Favre progressed in their system,and they are all on the same page.
Tony Scheffler (Denver Broncos)
He is a tight end who had 6 receptions and 1 TD against the Chargers. He started by saying he is a long time listener of the show and a big fan. Jim thanked him. Tony agreed that they have a new persona. Tony told us that Brian Dawkins is a team leader. He said the Broncos were "like the NFL version of you boy Wing Foward...everyone had us last man, all season."

Jim Rome Clone Report
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
After greeting the audience Jim gave out the phone number to call the show. It is 1-800-636-8686. Rome said there were opportunities to call today, but, "...You have to get through Jason Stewart. Stew is like a steel trap. Stew has done this for 10 years. Stew will sniff out a bad phone call.....Don't mess with Stew."
1st topic
Denver Broncos vs San Diego chargers Monday Night Football game.
Jim commented, "If Denver was the worst 5-0 team, then now they are the worst 6-0 team. Josh McDaniels is the smartest guy in the room...It was a classic trap game. The Broncos were coming off an emotional win and were now on the road against a divisional opponent."
Rome feels the Chargers aren't right. He said their "soft and bewildered" defense has spread to special teams. Also, "Don't look for them to come back this year."
New York Yankees
Jim said that manager Joe Girardi overmanaged, "...case in point: You going out to bother, ERRR, check on Andy Petit after he allowed a run and was facing Vladimir Guererro. Instead of letting your vet work through it...you disrupt him, you probably irritate him. Then the next thing you know Vlady is running around the bases and the game is tied."
New Vanity Plates
All on Corvettes: "RAD DUDE", "EUD LOSE", "USINGLE"
Callers
A guy named Greg in Sun Valley (a community in Los Angeles, CA) called.
Donna in Tuscon called and reset the clones take on Aaron Rodgers yesterday and whether he was downcast and/or wooden and laconic.
Throwback Uniforms
Jim Rome acknowledged being front and center on the Denver Broncos bandwagon but hates their "mustard" throwback uniforms.
NLCS
Jim said it looked like the Dodgers were in a good spot in game 4 until Philly came back on them. Further, "The Dodgers match up well with them but Philly is so much tougher."
Guests
Jonathan Vilma (New Orleans Saints)
Jim called him the quarterback of the defense and ask Jonathan about being that. Vilma said it was about getting everyone lined up in the right spot. He likes what he does and loves the extra work it calls for in practice and in the film room. The Saints' defense has been slighted all year but Jonathan doesn't worry about it. He just keeps playing good ball. Of Drew Brees, he said, "the stats don't lie. He is by far the best QB in the NFL right now.
Stewart Mandel (Sports Illustrated.Com writer)
Rome mentioned talking to Texas QB Colt McCoy and him feeling he is playing better this year than last. Stewart did not agree. He said, "I don't think he's gotten worse, but he doesn't seem to have the same connection with his receivers this year. Jim asked if Texas can play better as they have indicated. Again Stewart disagreed. He said by now teams have found their identity and would be surprised if there offense got a lot better. Of Florida, Stewart thinks they're okay now, and Tim Tebow is looking himself again after his concussion. Of USC, he sees them having a chance to figure in the National title picture.
LaMarr Woodley (Pittsburgh Steelers)
They have beaten the Cleveland Browns 12 times in a row. Asked if he still considers them a rival, LaMarr said yes he does and you can't overlook teams. Cincinnati celebrated a lot in their win over the Steelers. Pittsburgh will remember. "They celebrated too much in my book" said LaMarr. Steelers play the Vikings next. Jim mentioned trying to stop Adrian Peterson and then having to deal with Brett Favre if you put 8 men in the box. LaMarr said they would approach that by balancing things out defensively. Asked of his alma mater Michigan facing Penn State this weekend, LaMarr said,"We're definately going to take care of them."

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Jim opened up with college football.
USC vs Notre Dame
Charlie Weis is 0-5 against USC. He was defiant in defeat, however. He said his team "fought hard. This team is a bunch of fighters..." Rome said, "Congrats, Chuck. Your guys played really, really hard...and lost...again in another big game...So no credit for having a team that didn't quit...Five years in and you're still looking for that one signature victory...They didn't bring you in to almost beat USC a couple of times."
Jim says Pete Carroll likes Matt Barkley a lot.
Texas
Jim commented,"Texas did what it had to do, but not much more. I think the only difference in that game was the Karma."
Nebraska
Rome had two words for Nebraska : "Uh oh!"
Ohio State loses to Purdue
Jim's take to "The Vest", "Terrell Pryor shouldn't be turning the ball over 4 times, man, nor should he be getting worse under your watch, man."
Florida
They just did survive. Jim, "You know the difference in that game, don't you?...Timothy Richard Tebow."
Pro Football
NY Jets
They lost to the Bills. The take: "When you're winning you're'swaggerliscious'. When you're losing you're just a blowhard."
The Raiders
The Raiders win! Jim, "The Raiders got over. How about JaMarcus Russell finally showing up?"
The Saints
They beat previously the unbeaten Giants. Rome, "You can not stop them. They are the best team in the NFL right now."
Jim Zorn
"Put this cat out of his misery."
Jim's Horse
Royal Punisher won the third race at Santa Anita yesterday. Jim Rome in the winners circle!
Guests
Cal Ripken Jr. (MLB Hall of Famer, TBS commentator)
Cal thinks the Phillies' Cliff Lee is this year's version of Cole Hamels. Cal and the guys at TBS didn't think Hiroki Kuroda would be able to pitch effectively after a long lay off. Jim asked if an 11-0 loss the Dodgers absorbed would rattle around in their heads. Cal didn't think it would as much as a loss in a close game they may feel they could have won. Rome brought up that Cal had said this was the playoff A-Rod would get hot, get clutch, and get it done. Jim asked what made him think that. Cal said, "Well, I think I was just hoping."
(After the interview, E mailers wanted Jim to replay the call of a guy who didn't like Cal Ripken and expressed his desire to spray Cal "in the face with a full mace spray". Jim said ,"No! ...out of respect to Cal.)
Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay Packers QB)
He thinks he's played "pretty well" and feels he has improved. But he's still not at the level he is capable of. Aaron credits the teams defense, but says the offense need improvement. Rodgers also mentioned having to take a lot on his shoulders. Jim said, "Hey Aaron. Nobody said playing QB in the NFL was going to be easy. But to hear you lay it out like that...You're stressing me out, and I've got nothing to do with it. Is this thing aging you pretty quickly?" Rodgers said, "Dealing with the media is part of the job. There's always going to be critics, no matter if you're playing great or playing below your standards."
(E mail : "Aaron Rodgers needs to relax and enjoy himself more, signed Librarians and Undertakers." Joe in Tampa. Another, "Damn, A Rodg. Loosen up. Smile a little." A third, "...he sounds like he's ready to jump out of a window.")
Matt Schaub (Houston Texans QB)
They are coming off a big win on the road at Cincinnati. Matt gave credit to the Offensive Line. He also spoke of the 3 phases of the game: Offense, Defense, and Special Teams. RB Steve Slayton creates mismatches when catching balls out of the backfield. Matt said that makes him better and adds a dynamic weapon to their offense.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Happy Birthday J. Stew
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Jim opened the show with a Friday "Quad Yeah!"
Topics
NLCS
Jim asked Dodger manager Joe Torre (not in an interview), "Where was the hook when 21 year old Clayton Kershaw was unraveling in the 5th inning last night?" Rome played Joe Torre's response to a similar question during a news conference. Then he gave Joe the "manual buzzer".
Jim said the McCourts, Dodger owners, stole the thunder of the game one loss by announcing their marital separation. He said their impending divorce will affect the payroll, and therefore, the team and the fans.
USC vs Notre Dame
Jim feels the Trojans are beatable, and if Notre Dame doesn't beat them now, they never will in the Pete Carroll era. Jim's pick: USC by 7. He did say, however, that Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen can lock up the Heisman with a good performance.
Rush Limbaugh reset
A caller said a divisive person from the other end of the political spectrum would have been denied the opportunity to own an NFL franchise also. Rome said the topic is emotionally charged with tremendous heat on both sides. Jim cited a study that showed that 70% of NFL owners political contrubutions went to Republicans. That seems to back up the opinion that the NFL simply doesn't want controversy.
Caller
A caller said he went to kylebrandt.com and, though underconstruction, has an upside down pistol as the "r" in Brandt. The caller asked what gives him the right to do that. He basically went on a little rant cracking on Kyle. Kyle then came on and said the guy had earlier E mailed basically the same thing.
Guests
Eddie Royal (Denver Broncos)
He caught 10 passes on Sunday. He didn't expect that, saying, "..we take what the defense gives us." Of QB Kyle Orton, Eddie says, "He's a great leader, he studies a lot of film. He's a hard worker, comes to work every day in practice...and that's what we need right now. Eddie also said they were definately all in when it comes to coach Josh McDaniels' program.
Jerry Cantrell and Mike Inez (Alice in Chains rock band)
They have a new album out for the first time in a long time. The path to the new album started with them just hanging out together again. They started playing a little music. Theat led to some gigs and tours. They then came up with some new material. They have a connection with Pearl Jam. Jerry is a Steeler and Seahawk fan. Mike is a Raider fan. He said the fans are not happy. He went to a game and heard a guy in the beer line say, "We're one injury away from being a .500 team, and that's Al Davis' stroke.
Quentin Jammer (San Diego Chargers)
He doesn't feel the upcoming game with the Broncos is a "must win" game, but it is a huge game. Rome asked if they will come out swinging. Quentin said they always come out swinging. Of the Broncos, Jammer said they are playing like a 5-0 team.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
In hour one, Jim started out with Washington Redskins Hall of Famer John Riggins. Jim told us that John turned 60 this year. Jim said, "But he is rolling tape, smoking fools, and lighting up chumps." Riggins made a YouTube video that Rome said, "...starts like a backyard pow wow, but quickly disenegrates into a blood bath." "Riggo" as Rome called him, said the Redskins owner castrated the head coach, Jim Zorn. Of Zorn, Riggo said he would be better served coaching his sons high school team. Further, Riggins said the GM of the Redskins is no GM at all and should be analyzing games for ESPN. Of the rant, Rome said, "I'm not ready to say that he is moving in on (Donald) Trump v Rosie, because nobody is, but Riggo is at least on 'The Donalds' block."
In hour two, caller Ken in Sacramento, was glad Rush Limbaugh is now out of a group seeking to buy the St. Louis Rams. Jim Rome said,"What it comes down to is this. It's not so much politics. I'm sure a lot of the owners, politically, are pretty well in line with Rush Limbaugh...As violent as the NFL is...the shield is pretty vanilla. Rush, frankly, is just too hot to handle. Too controversial. The risk is greater than the reward. All the things that made Rush Limbaugh Rush Limbaugh are the very thimgs the NFL thinks would be bad for their brand.
Callers called in on both sides. Some said it was political,and not just about Rush's divisiveness.
Guests
Keith Brooking (Dallas Cowboys)
12 years in the league, Keith came to the Cowboys this year from the Falcons. It has rejuvenated him. He agreed there is extra scrutiny on the Dallas Cowboys. Keith said , "We are a very good football team. We have to get rid of mental mistakes. " When asked of Tony Romo, Keith said he gives Tony very high marks.
"He works extremely hard...nobody knows what it is like to be the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys."
Torri Hunter (LA Angels of Anaheim)
He is feeling good before the ALCS. Jim said that people said that the Red Sox had the Angels number. Torri said it would be a different scene in their series. Rome asked him how he knew. Torri said they played with purpose and passion all season, while having fun at the same time. He told us the Angels got closer with the tragedy of the death of pitcher Nick Adenhart.
John Ondrasik (Musician, Five for Fighting)
He is a good friend of Jim Rome. He has a new album entitled "Slice". John spoke of he song "Superman" and of his change in perspective from his first album to his fifth. The song, "Nowhere Bar" : John thanked Jim for "the best first line of a Five For Fighting song ever." "She wanted a hotel with a lobby." It came from talk amongst friends when they were in Cabo San Lucas on vacation.

In hour one, Jim started out with Washington Redskins Hall of Famer John Riggins. Jim told us that John turned 60 this year. Jim said, "But he is rolling tape, smoking fools, and lighting up chumps." Riggins made a YouTube video that Rome said, "...starts like a backyard pow wow, but quickly disenegrates into a blood bath." "Riggo" as Rome called him, said the Redskins owner castrated the head coach, Jim Zorn. Of Zorn, Riggo said he would be better served coaching his sons high school team. Further, Riggins said the GM of the Redskins is no GM at all and should be analyzing games for ESPN. Of the rant, Rome said, "I'm not ready to say that he is moving in on (Donald) Trump v Rosie, because nobody is, but Riggo is at least on 'The Donalds' block."
In hour two, caller Ken in Sacramento, was glad Rush Limbaugh is now out of a group seeking to buy the St. Louis Rams. Jim Rome said,"What it comes down to is this. It's not so much politics. I'm sure a lot of the owners, politically, are pretty well in line with Rush Limbaugh...As violent as the NFL is...the shield is pretty vanilla. Rush, frankly, is just too hot to handle. Too controversial. The risk is greater than the reward. All the things that made Rush Limbaugh Rush Limbaugh are the very thimgs the NFL thinks would be bad for their brand.
Callers called in on both sides. Some said it was political,and not just about Rush's divisiveness.
Guests
Keith Brooking (Dallas Cowboys)
12 years in the league, Keith came to the Cowboys this year from the Falcons. It has rejuvenated him. He agreed there is extra scrutiny on the Dallas Cowboys. Keith said , "We are a very good football team. We have to get rid of mental mistakes. " When asked of Tony Romo, Keith said he gives Tony very high marks.
"He works extremely hard...nobody knows what it is like to be the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys."
Torri Hunter (LA Angels of Anaheim)
He is feeling good before the ALCS. Jim said that people said that the Red Sox had the Angels number. Torri said it would be a different scene in their series. Rome asked him how he knew. Torri said they played with purpose and passion all season, while having fun at the same time. He told us the Angels got closer with the tragedy of the death of pitcher Nick Adenhart.
John Ondrasik (Musician, Five for Fighting)
He is a good friend of Jim Rome. He has a new album entitled "Slice". John spoke of he song "Superman" and of his change in perspective from his first album to his fifth. The song, "Nowhere Bar" : John thanked Jim for "the best first line of a Five For Fighting song ever." "She wanted a hotel with a lobby." It came from talk amongst friends when they were in Cabo San Lucas on vacation.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Happy Birthday Jim Rome!
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Jim started out giving the rundown of the show. He said he had and open phone first hour. He then corrected himself by giving himself a manual buzzer. Alvin followed that with a portable buzzer. Rome said Tony Gonzalez would be a guest in the first hour. Jim told Alvin to restart the show. The music played and Jim restarted, saying he was using his one "mulligan" he gets a year.
Topics
Rush Limbaugh as a part of a group looking to buy the St. Louis Rams.
Rome said, "Sometimes doors will open up for you if you're Rush Limbaugh and sometimes they will slam shut. Sometimes it's great to be Rush Limbaugh, and sometimes it's not." Jim then explained that the NFL owners are a private group and don't have to let people they don't want in regardless of their celebrity or money.
Cleveland Browns
Brady Quinn has put his home up on the market. The trade deadline is a week away. Jim said, "He'll probably pull a Braylon Edwards and morph into Joe Montana wherever he ends up."
Instant Replay in MLB
Jim said, "They have instant replay in MLB. Just not nearly enough of it. Expand the reviewable list."
New York Jets
They are still dismissing the wildcat offense as a gimmick. Rome said, "Stop crying about the wildcat. You got owned."
Raiders
Giants player, Antonio Pierce said playing the Raiders felt like a practice or a scrimmage. Rome commented, "Raider week has become a bye week."
Vanity Plates
Vanity plates have become a topic on the show the last few days. One from a while back was "NICETRY" on a Corvette. Then yesterday there was "OMGFAST" also on a Corvette. Today a picture of one was sent in from a Ferrari that said,"UWISH". Jim said,"That is strong."
Caller
A caller ended his call by wishing Jim Rome a happy birthday.
Later, Kyle Brandt gave Jim a list of people with the same, birthday, Oct. 14th. On the list were: John Wooden, Joe Gerardi (same year), Ralph Lauren, Roger Moore, Houston Nutt, Usher, and Dwight Eisenhower.
Guests
Tony Gonzalez (Atlanta Falcons TE )
Tony said he was excited to be in Atlanta. It was tough, however, to leave Kansas City. Jim asked him if his career ends without a Super Bowl ring would he be okay with that? Tony said he would be. He spoke of how good the league has been to him and said he wouldn't change a thing. Rome asked him about QB Matt Ryan. What sets him apart from other young QB's in the league that aren't having the same success? Tony said he felt it was Matt's work ethic. Tony called Matt "the hardest working guy on the team."
Tom Curran (NBC Sports, ProFootball talk.com)
Jim asked him about the Rush Limbaugh ownership bid. Tom did not think it woul happen. He feels the owners would shy away from someone who has engaged in "divisive speech" regardless of their politics. Curran said the same would go for an Al Sharpton making a bid to buy an NFL franchise.
