Jim Rome Clone Report
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Live from Portland, this is the Jim Rome Show...
Jim started, "You heard him correctly. What is up? Another Jungle roadie."
He was broadcasting to day from 95.5 the Game in Portland Oregon.
First up:
Oregon vs USC
Oregon beats USC. Rome's take: "That was pure and simply a mug job. The fact that Oregon beat USC is not surprising to me. But to beat them in the manner in which they did was shocking. Nobody lays that kind of beat down on USC...They ripped their manhood. Straight up. Oregon is a much better team and they proved it. I never thought I would see the day that a Pete Carroll team would get embarrassed that badly."
World Series
The Yankees beat the Phillies and take a 3-1 series lead. Jim commented, "My man, Brad Lidge...dragging his gas can to the bump with him last night and not pouring any gasoline on the infield until he was a single strike away from getting out of the 9th."
Guest
Nate McMillan (Portland Trailblazers)
Jim asked him about a message he gave to the team. Nate said it was ..."to hold each other accountable for what's happening on the court." He also spoke of having Greg Oden, LaMarcus Aldridge, and Brandon Roy on the floor at the same time being fairly new, getting into the playoffs last year, and the ultimate goal of winning a championship. Of Brandon Roy, he said, "He is an organization's dream to have."
Portland Airport
Rome loves Portland International. He told us, "It's like a playground. It's like Hollywood, but better...Not to go Mike Leach...If you want a place to go to on a first date...Take her to the airport...I'll give you 100 bucks to take my seat so I can take a later flight."
Portland and the Jungle
Jim: "Maybe the best tour stop, if not the best moment...when I came out of a Blackhawk helicopter."
Portland callers: Chad in Portland: He is also a co-host of the morning show there. Jim played some sound clips and mentioned Chad's love of sending "Erv" E mails to the Jungle.
Will in Portland: ...he of the , "I call 'em hors d'oeuvres, 'cause you're gonna get ate up" fame.
Guest
Brandon Roy
He said they needed that win over Oklahoma City for their confidence. Jim brought up Brandon being the face of the franchise and the go between when it comes to the players and coach Nate McMillan. Brandon said it's a fine line to navigate. He tries to be honest with both sides, coach and players.
Afterword Rome said, "Great player, great leader...and still only in his 4th year."
Minnesota vs Green Bay
Of the Packers, Jim commented, "They're fighting out of their weight class." Of Brett Favre, "..he is not finished. Brett Favre was really hurt last year." Of the game, "I thought it would be different thes time. But it wasn't. The Packers were the ones having a hard time with the moment, not Favre...They (Vikings) look like a Superbowl team."
Other Guests
Brian Grant (Former NBAer)
He was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. He said it has been a tough 3 years, but it's getting better. First depression (related to, but before the diagnosis), then strain on his marriage, then the actual diagnosis. But his faith, children, and the community of Portland and the Blazers have kept him going. They spoke of his depression at length. Then Brian talk of things starting with a tremor in his hand. After being told he had Young Onset Parkinson's, Brian's athletic and competitive drive kicked in. He went on a health and exercise regimen. He was put in touch with Michael J. Fox, who called him. Fox was helpful. For info. go to BrianGrant.org
Jeremiah Masoli (Oregon Ducks QB)
"How you doing, Mr. Rome", he started. He said it felt like 200,000 fans were there. Jim asked why he appeared so relaxed. Masoli said it was their confidence going into the game. He didn't really answer questions about a changing of the guard in the Pac 10 or where they belong in the rankings. He just said they would work hard to prepare to do what they had to in each game. He ended with, "Thanks Rome...love you Momma."

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
"Dude, dude. No, dude, no! That's the first time there's ever been a fight in house among the staff right before we hit air. What is up!" .....and so began the show. Jim went on, "Hey, welcome to the program. I am Jim rome. Happy freaking Halloween...Imagine us rolling in here 4 hours before air. Nobody says a word, and we grind the thing out. And then, one minute before air we all pile into the studio...I started off by telling Kyle Brandt about and E mail that I received from Chris Manix cracking on Kyle Brandt. So Kyle returned fire and got into something I really can't mention on air...to when Alvin snapped for the first time in about 3 years...Don't mess with Friday Alvin."
Jim mentioned receiving another song parody from Jesus in Chicago. He wouldn't promise to play it but promised to try and play it. A little later he said they would take a poll to see if the audience wanted to hear it.
World Series Game 2
Rome, "Yankee fans were gripping over AJ Burnett's Game 2 start last night at the stadium. And they had good reason to be." Burnett had been winless in 3 previous post season starts with the Yankees. Rome went on, "He had something to prove. But, he proved it last night. Burnett manned up and he may have saved their season."
Lane Kiffin
He was mentioned in a rap song by "Lil Wayne". Jim commented, "The Tennessee Vols may not be anywhere near the best team in the SEC, but they're definately the coolest."
Andre Agassi
He admitted using Meth during his tennis career. Jim wants to comment further but he wants context. He wants to read the entire book. The publisher is only releasing a little at a time, trying to generate interest. Jim did say, "My initial response was one of disappointment."
Halloween
E mails came in asking Jim for his take on Halloween. He gave it: "If you're over the age of 10 or 11 and you wear a costume, you're a tool. That's my take. You know it..."
Jesus in Chicago's YouTube rap about J. Stew
Jim got around to playing it. It was an "ode" to J. Stew's "porn stache" set to the tune of "The Monster Mash". In it he cited J. Stew's appearance in the movie "The Capture of the Green River Killer".
Alvin's "The Week that Was"
The week in review in a montage of sound clips was played.
Guests
William Henderson (Former Green Bay Packer)
Jim reset Brett Favre saying the Vikings were "...physically and from a talent level..This is the best team I've ever been on". William responded, "Brett's a savvy vet...this statement has been made in the past...He used it in '07 to describe the Packers. It's a great way to create chemistry with you players...I hope he doesn't really mean it."
Of the game Sunday, William said, "...I'm going to be one of the first ones to 'boo' and create disruption for his offense"
James Cameron (Academy Award winning Director)
"Avatar" is his new movie. It comes out in December. It is Cameron's first feature film in 12 years. James says it feels good. An extended trailer will be shown on the giant screen at the new Cowboy stadium at a Cowboy game. James says, "This movie is all action. I made my chick flick with Titanic...I decided to make my 'guys' movie with 'Avatar'." It's the first big budget action flick shot in 3D.
Jarvis Green (New England Patriots)
Rome asked about their game in London. Jarvis said it was a great experience. His wife went, they enjoyed themselves, and got a big win. Jim then asked Jarvis about the Dolphins "wildcat" offense, which they will soon face. Jarvis said, "You know what? It works....but it's still 11 against 11." Of the Broncos game, he told Jim that they were fired up to play them. "It was a tough game though. I wish we would have got the win."
Text Contest
Rome, "The text contest does not look very good. I'm gonna kill it. Done."
Caller
No text contest opened up 1 minute for.....Trapper. He cracked back on Chad in Portland who had called in earlier. He told Chad, "Bring it 'Gump'."

Jim Rome Clone Report
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Jim started off with...
World Series Game 1
There has been talk asking why were the Yankees so flat, so lifeless? What happened to the Yankees? Jim gave the answer, "I'll tell you exactly what happened to the Yankees. Cliff Lee 'happened' to the Yankees...He was dealing. He was 'filthy'...They may have to deal with that guy 3 times in a long series... The Yankees are now facing a must win situation in that Game 2." Derek Jeter was quoted, "Nope. You handle every game the same way." Rome responded, "AAAAHHHHH!"(the manual buzzer) Wrong answer, cap. I understand he has to say that." Chase Utley hit 2 home runs in the game. It was the first time since Babe Ruth that a lefty hit 2 home runs off another lefty.
E Mails
"Hey Rome. Chase Utley...Chase 'bleeping' Utley. Regards, the Yankees."
"Dear Rome, Hey Yankees, Yo holmes, smell you later. Sighned Home Field Advantage."
Twitter
Rome has said that,"Twitter is a loaded gun for a number of athletes." Now comes a story of it being used by athletes responsibly. Carmelo Anthony dunked Paul Milsap and Twitter was used by many of his peers in the NBA to give him "ups".
Portland
Jim will be broadcasting the show from Portland on Monday, November 2nd. This announcement brought about E mails cracking on Portland.
Weird Pictures
First there were pictures being sent into the show of guys smoking pipes because Rome had asked, "When was the last time you saw a guy working a pipe?" Then pictures of guys with mustaches...then vanity plates, then people with bicycle helmets not on bikes. Today, a guy in Portland sent a picture of a panhandler with a rabbit on a leash.
Guests
Charles Barkley (Former NBAer and TNT analyst)
Charles wants to be an NBA General Manager. He is not, however, in a rush to take a bad job. Rome asked him if he thought someone is going to give him that opportunity. Charles said, "I hope so. They've given some of these other slugs jobs and they've sucked at it...give me my chance to suck, too." Jim then asked him what coach he would hire if he needed to as a GM. Charles said two of the guys he would call first are Michael Cooper and Bill Laimbeer. On the Magic v Isaiah situation, Charles said, "I was disappointed in Magic... It happened so long ago... I think he should have went to Isaiah and talked to him...I like Magic. I like Isaiah." Chuck feels a lot of the criticism Isaiah Thomas has received in the last few years is uncalled for and unnecessary.
Cris Collinsworth (NBC Sports)
He has a week off for the first time in years. He said, "I have no idea what to do." Rome brought up the Vikings vs the Packers at Green Bay this weekend. Cris said, "Aaron Rodgers is playing great and the receivers are making plays, and I don't know about the protection." Cris said the Packers are improved, but the Vikings are the team to beat in the NFC. Jim asked Cris what kind of reception Brett Favre will get in Green Bay. The response, "...I would be stunned in pregame introductions if they do anything but give him a standing ovation..."
Caron Butler (Washington Wizards)
Jim asked him about giving up Mountain Dew and if it was really that hard to give up. Caron said, "Definately. It's something I've been trying to do over the last 3 seasons. He did have withdrawls. He was not joking at all. Caron says he feels better and more energetic.
The Wizards started off this season with a win over Dallas. Gilbert Arenas is back from his injury. Caron told us that Gilbert is not talking to the media as much and is "more explosive than I've ever seen him."
Text Contest
"Romey, the worst thing about Portland...it's not bums or rabbits on leashes. Dude, it's Chad!"
Triple U Sponsor: "When you drop an ice cube in your kitchen and you can't find it. Then you step over the wet spot an hour later in you socks." Emilio Textavez
Actual Triple U (Unfunny, Uninspired, Unreadable text of the day): "Enough talk about rabbits, Rome. It's time that you talked about some other furry creatures with buck teeth. Us! Yours, the Rat Family."
Result: "You're BLOCKED! Your BLOCKED! What do you expect me to say?"

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Jim opened introducing the XR4ti crew as he usually does. During this he said, "...Kyle Brandt, illing, but working the E mail. Gonna gut it out, man's game. Hey, be an athlete, man. Yeah, but bro, I think I might be "swined up". Later Rome said to the audience to not get carried away. Kyle had not been diagnosed with H1N1. But, "...He did say I think I'm "swined out" bro.
Also in the intro, Jim said he would be interviewing Knowshon Moreno later in the show. Rome informed us, "Four weeks in a row the Broncos have delivered a guest...Obviously they're buying into the Karma."
There was also a reset of a call yesterday. A fairly new listener, Jack in Indy, called and said that he liked Jim and interviews but said the callers were horrible and they're ruining the show. That call was said to have inspired a lot of feedback during and after yesterday's show.
LA Clippers
One day after announcing the injury to blake Griffin, "The Clips had to open up their season watching their 'land lords' collect their Championship 'ice' right on the floor that they sublet from them," Rome told us. He continued, "Well, actually they didn't have to watch, because their coach, Mike Dunleavy wouldn't let them watch...You probably don't want to show your guys something that they're never going to get anyway.
Twitter
Jim reset KC Chiefs RB Larry Johnson's Twitter activity. He was "sent packing" on a suspension by the Chiefs. Jim said, "Twitter's the best. Twitter is hilarious."
Caron Butler
The Washington Wizards player lost 11 pounds in the off season. His regimen? He gave up the 6 pack a day habit of Mountain Dew. He said it was the toughest thing he had to do. He explained that he had a can on his nightstand because he couldn't get through the night without one. Rome mused, "That is awesome. If you can't get through the night without crushing a Dew, you're an addict."
Callers or no Callers?
The debate has happened before, but not lately. The topic of the day stemmed from the call yesterday mentioned above. Jim asked, "What goes through your mind when I say, "Let's go to the phones?"
Caller
Rome went to a "Bobby in LA" and got no answer. We then hear Bobby in the backround discussing a bar tab!
A little later Jim's addressed the caller or no caller question again. "Jack's (the guy complaining about callers) getting hammered and Bobby's a hero. (In the e mails). I guess that answers my question about what to do with the callers."
Rome began to take more calls. Another was from Dave in Rochester. He was monotone and sounded sad. Jim said he sounded like a John Hancock financial commercial.
The point was that we listen not only for good callers, but also for especially bad ones because they make us laugh.
NFL referees
After the hit a ref took last weekend, there is talk of having them wear helmets. The ones like the players! The take: "They should risk the injury to keep their dignity! It's going to be awesome. Awesome for how ridiculous they will look."
Guests
Knowshon Moreno (Denver Broncos)
Off the top, Jim asked him if playing in the NFL was as he thought it would be. Knowshon said it was more than he expected. He cited the level of preparation and the physical play.
Denver had some upheaval during the spring and summer. Jim asked him what he was thinking about that. Knowshon said he wasn't worried. He just wanted to find his way and role on the team. Knowshon spoke of asking for the #27 jersey formerly worn by cornerback Darren Williams who ws killed in 2007. Knowshon wanted to honor Darren and met and asked Darren's parents for the honor.
Phillip Rivers (San Diego Chargers)
Rome reset the Adrian Wilson interview yesterday where he "shouted out" to Phillip Rivers. That led to today's interview. The two were friends at the dorms at NC State.
Jim then asked if the Chargers could take something from the win over a low performing Chiefs team. Phillip felt they could. He mentioned the Chargers slow starts in recent years. He said, "You have to win the first one to get on a roll." The negativity that has surrounded the team was brought up. Rivers said they have not let it seep into the locker room. Rivers agreed that they are only as good as their 3-3 record, but said they are going to get better than a .500 team.
Text Contest
"Hey Rome. Caron Butler may have been addicted to a 6 pack of Dew. But my addiction is was worse, 6 pack abs. Signed J. Stew" J. in the Nati
"Unwar weaklings that take the elevator to the 2nd floor when carrying nothing." Emilio Textavez
Triple U sponsor: "Daylight savings time. Unwar KB's inexplicable blackball of my E mails."
Actual Triple U: "So, Caron Butler gave up his Dew? I lose mine. Regards, Baldric Woods."
Result: "That's very Triple U."

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
"A tremendous Tuesday to you. Welcome to the program", Rome started.
Topics:
Redskins vs Eagles
Quoting Rome, "Hard to imagine why the Redskins did not hang 50 on Philadelphia withe their new "Bingo Caller" in the booth. I thought dialing up "B9" was a great call in the Red Zone. I thought that "G27" call..........This is not on Sherm Lewis. It's on the Redskins for calling Lewis." Jim then revisited the subject of "the cruel and inhumane treatment of Jim Zorn." Rome said ownership is trying to break Zorn's will to get him to quit so they won't have to pay him.
Georgia vs Florida
Georgia coach Mark Richt had his team celebrate on the field after an early TD in 2007. Florida still hasn't forgotten. A Gator player said, "...We can't just let it be a one year thing where we feel like we took care of it." Jim Rome commented, "..generations of Gators will pile on Georgia".
LA Clippers
#1 overall draft pick Blake Griffin broke his kneecap in a recent preseason game. Jim said, "How utterly Clipper of something like that to happen." He then recalled Blake playing "Yakety Sax" in the backround of an interview in the Jungle.
Screened Out Caller
Jim told the audience that a guy called wanting to do a "Sapphire in my glass" parody of "hot sauce in my bag." J. Stew told him that wasn't good enough. The guy then claimed he was Dennny Neagle's step dad and could Jim at least play Denny's famous "train whistle" sound byte. Rome did. Then said, " A human being should not be able to make this sound."
This started a new "thread". E mails began coming in saying things like, "Hey Rome. I am Brad in Corona's step dad. Will you play his Lakers Euros take for me?" (Chad in Portland) ...and ,"Hey Rome. I am, like, Miss Teen South Carolina's step dad and can you, like, such as, play her answer from the Miss Teen USA Pageant?" Also there was, "Hey Jim. I work for Hanes, and we make sweat pants in my factory..." Rome asked, "I wonder where that's going." He continued with the E mail, "...can you please play Carl in Rosemead's call?"
E Mail
"Entitlement Eric" called out Frances in Glendale, amongst others. Frances responded, "...Memo to Eric Smothers...take it all away." This was a reference to a Steve Elkington interview where he brought up Tommy Smothers. Jim Replayed Elk's comments.

Antoine Bethea (Indianapolis Colts)
The Colts are 6-0. Antoine thinks they are Super Bowl good, as they were in 2006. He said all 3 phases of the team are playing really well. The defense has not allowed a TD since October 4th. He told Rome that they were flying around and having fun. The Colts have a new Defensive Coordinator and they are being more aggressive. Bob Sanders came back Sunday. Antoine told us that Bob helped him out early in his career.
Matt Barkley (USC Quarterback)
He is a true freshman. Jim asked if his experiences so far have been surreal. Matt said he knew he wanted to be the starting QB , knew it entailed a lot, and is trying to "do what the USC quarterback should be doing". Matt has known Matt Leinart and has gotten advice from him. Barkley also told Rome that his faith and his parents have kept him grounded.
Brad Lidge (Philadelphia Phillies)
They have been off for 5 days . Brad felt they needed the rest. The team is excited to be playing the Yankees in the World Series. Jim asked if they are looking to, not only repeat, but create a dynasty of sorts. Brad said it's possible since core players are locked up for a while. The team believed they would win the whole thing in the beginning of the season.
Adrian Wilson (Arizona Cardinals)
They just beat the Giants in their stadium on national TV. Adrian said they expected to win that game. He said people are still skeptical of what kind of team they are, even after making it to the Super Bowl. He told Jim that people look at the past history of Cardinal teams. Jim asked Adrian about Pat Tillman. Adrian said Pat Tillmman had taken him under his wing and showed him the ropes.

"A tremendous Tuesday to you. Welcome to the program", Rome started.
Topics:
Redskins vs Eagles
Quoting Rome, "Hard to imagine why the Redskins did not hang 50 on Philadelphia withe their new "Bingo Caller" in the booth. I thought dialing up "B9" was a great call in the Red Zone. I thought that "G27" call..........This is not on Sherm Lewis. It's on the Redskins for calling Lewis." Jim then revisited the subject of "the cruel and inhumane treatment of Jim Zorn." Rome said ownership is trying to break Zorn's will to get him to quit so they won't have to pay him.
Georgia vs Florida
Georgia coach Mark Richt had his team celebrate on the field after an early TD in 2007. Florida still hasn't forgotten. A Gator player said, "...We can't just let it be a one year thing where we feel like we took care of it." Jim Rome commented, "..generations of Gators will pile on Georgia".
LA Clippers
#1 overall draft pick Blake Griffin broke his kneecap in a recent preseason game. Jim said, "How utterly Clipper of something like that to happen." He then recalled Blake playing "Yakety Sax" in the backround of an interview in the Jungle.

Jim Rome Clone Report
Summary of today's show
First word out of Jim's mouth..."YEAH!" (Followed by the "Quad Yeah! clip.)
Then, "I don't think that guy was saying that on Sunday. My man, Will Gay. Sometimes you gotta smack your own. He got trucked! It's all right, Will. It happens to everybody. Well, everybody who gets in front of Adrian Peterson."
E mail
"Dear Van Smack, YEEAAHH! Uh oh! Signed, 'All Day's'cleats and Will Gay's face." Adam in Calgary
Topics
NFL
Bengals beat the Bears
Rome asked, "How pissed do you think the Chicago Bears are right now?" Cedric Benson had been a Bears draft pick. He didn't do well and had off the field problems. Sunday, as a Bengal running back, Benson "...completely embarrassed and humiliated them" according to Rome.
Mark Sanchez
Jim said he is a big Mark Sanchez "guy". Mark is now catching heat for "...slamming that hot dog on the sideling during that blowout (of the Raiders)", as Jim put it. Jim went on, "Now that's cool. That's awesome...When was the last time you saw anybody eat anything during an NFL game?" Sanchez later apologized.
The Raiders
Romes take: "Hey, by the way, Raiders. thanks for picking me up. I go out of my was on Friday to talk about how you turned the corner, potentially, and then you show up like that."
NFL Official gets hit.
Romes version, "Vikings special teammer Jeff Dugan ran right through an official. Biggest hit of the game. Frankly, it looked like it didn't have to happen, either... It doesn't seem like he had to run that old guy face first into the turf. But he did. Can you imagine if he tried that with Hochuli? He would have gotten up swinging."
Cowboys
Jim says the Cowboys have a new #1 receiver, the undrafted Miles Austin. Rome thinks he looks like the Yankees Alex Rodriguez. The take: "...But dude, this whole little 'Face Off' thing he's got going with A-Rod is not cool...I don't know how these guys did that ...He's got to give him back his face. Now it's just getting creepy."
Brandon Marshall
He appeared on Jim's TV show, Jim Rome is Burning. In the interview he took responsibility for his bad behavior earlier in the year. Marshall said, "I went about it the wrong way... Instead of me handling it like a man, I just act like a little, immature brat. You know, let's be honest." Jim commented on the radio today, "In reality it was a perfect answer."
Larry Johnson on Twitter
The Kansas City Chief Tweeted that his father "...got more credentials than most of these pro coaches...He played for the Redskins briefly, our coach, nothing." Rome said, "I've heard of 'My dad can beat up you dad", but I've never heard of "My dad can out coach my NFL coach'."
ALCS
The Yankees advance to the World Series. Rome's take: "I don't care that they lost. It's how they lost, which bothers me, if I were and Angel fan...Because that was not Angels baseball."
Guest
Jackie MacMullan (Author, ESPN.com)
She co-wrote the recent book, "When the Game Was Ours" with Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. (With content about Isaiah Thomas) Jim asked when Magic and Isaiah's friendship fell apart. She said that "Magic's HIV diagnosis and the way that Isaiah handled it was really the last straw." She continued, "You have to go back to 1987." She told us Isaiah had made comments about Larry Bird and people were coming to Magic about those comments since they were friends. Magic was about to play in the NBA finals and was irritated to have to deal with that. Then Jackie said that in the 1988 Finals the Pistons were playing the Lakers, and that at one point in the series Magic and Isaiah had to be separated. Jackie said she believes Isaiah did question Magic's sexuality but not in a malicious way..."He didn't set out to destroy Magic." Lastly, she said, "There's no way in this Earth that Isaiah Thomas thought everything was the same (between them)."

Jim Rome Clone Report
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Jim started, "You know I've got to start you off with a 'YEAH'." (Followed by the "Quad Yeah" clip.)
"What's up, clones?"
1st topic was the Magic Johnson book and the content regarding Isaiah Thomas. Jim reset the topic. Then, "It's almost impossible to pick a side in the Magic v Isaiah free-for-all. But let me say this, Erv may have done the impossible. He may have made Zeke look like a sympathetic figure." Isaiah Thomas said he's been blindsided by these allegations. Rome asked, "What's Magic doing killing his best old ex-friend... in a book, anyway?...How does Magic Johnson not pull Isaiah Thomas aside at some point and just call him on it?...and tell him to shut his mouth. Question him. Ask him, are you saying these things?" Later Rome went on, "If you want to handle it. You handle it with your guy face to face."
Later Jim emphasized that he thinks Magic believed Isaiah was talking about him after his HIV positive test, but the question remained if Isaiah really did or were people just telling Magic he was.
ALCS
The series is going back to New York with the Angels win. Rome commented, "What a game that was last night. That was wild..wild. Mike Scioscia's off the hook, at least for a night."
John Lackey was pulled out with a 4 run lead in the 7th inning after he got Johnny Damon to fly out. Rome wondered why. The next pitcher gave up the lead.
Romes admonishment
Coming back from a break, Jim told the E mailers, "I'm trying to have a legitimate discussion about Magic and Isaiah. You can stop with all your Red Lobster resets. Chad, you can stop being Chad in Portland any time you want."
The Raiders
Coach Tom Cable will not be facing criminal charges for his role in an altercation that left assistant coach Randy Hansen with a "broken face". (The Maury Povich, "Andrew, you are NOT the father clip was played.)
Guests
Maurice Jones-Drew (Jacksonville Jaguars)
He is coming off a 3 TD, 133 yard rushing game on Sunday. They are in their bye week. He said it was timely. Some guys on the team need to heal up. MJD, as Rome called him, said some guys play football for different reasons. He added, "The great players...they play for the respect. The money's going to come with the respect." Jim asked if former teammate Fred Taylor mentored him and helped him. MJD said Fred mentored him from day one. At the very end of the interview, MJD said, "Hey...you dogged me... you said I was always thinking about myself." Jim replied,"I don't remember saying that." After the commercial, we find out that MJD was just joking. He "Rick Rolled" Rome!
Jake Long (Miami Dolphins)
They had a slow start but they've won 2 in a row. Jake agreed it was a big hit when Chad Pennington got hurt. Jake has total faith in Chad Henne, though. He said Chad thrives under pressure. Jake then responded to a question about the Jets' reaction to the loss to Miami. He said they didn't pay attention to it. He likes blocking for Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown.
Dana White (UFC President)
UFC 104 is on Saturday. Dana said ticket sales are good. He often gives away tickets on Twitter. He said he is aware of the economic situation in our country. The main event on Saturday is Lyoto Machida vs Mauricio Rua for the Light Heavyweight Championship. Dana thinks there will be fireworks in that fight: "No jiu jitsu no wrestling, two of the best strikers in the business going toe to toe with punches, kicks, knees, and elbows." He also said they've come to a stalemate in contract negotiations with fighter Dan Henderson.
