Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Jim began, "All I can say about the Saints...No risk, no reward. Man's game...I love the way the Saints handle their business. In fact, it's in stark contrast to the Colts, who laid up, took the conservative route and it ended up costing them in the end. The Saints, though, were about going for the jugular...not just in that game, but the entire season. That's what they do...Guys want to play for a coach who's all out and takes chances..."
Super Bowl on TV
This Super Bowl was the highest rated TV show ever. Jim made the point that the NFL is king in the USA. This, he said, is why talk of a work stoppage in 2011 is a buzzkill. Jim did a bit on naming people that would play in "replacement" games if it comes to that. These included Pac Man Jones and "Gym Guy".
The old TV ratings record holder was the last episode of M*A*S*H*. Jim played the theme music of the show and said how depressing the music was.
Colts
Only 11 people greeted the Colts at the airport when they returned home. Jim said, "Thank God we made it to double digits."
NBA
Vince Carter goes off for 48 points! Jim said he was "balling like it was 1999." Rome doesn't, however, believe that "Vin-sanity" is back.
Interviews
Jonathan Vilma (New Orleans Saints)
He said "it" hasn't sunk in yet since he is used to regrouping after a win and getting ready for the next game. He told Jim to give him about a week and his mind and body will realize there's no more games. Jonathan said he realized they were a potentially great team during the first preseason game. He also understands the Super Bowl win was about more than he and his teammates. "...It was really about the whole city of New Orleans, "he said.
Mark Martin (NASCAR)
He is the oldest driver to get the pole for the Daytona 500, at 51. Mark said he is proud of that, especially for his team. He told Jim the cars are "so close to the same technically". Mark is a teammate of Dale Earnhart Jr. and feels that this can be Jr.'s year.
Mike Mandt
Jim often imitates him with, "..HAAAAAH!" Jim told us that Mike had to go to court to fight a traffic ticket yesterday. Jim joked that the police may have stopped him and did a field sobriety test and asked him to recite the alphabet backwards. Jim had Alvin repeat the clip over and over, "HAAAH, HAAAH, HAAAH" as if that was his response to the police.
Callers
Joe in Little Rock Arkansas called and told Rome that he used to listen when he was in the penitentiary.
Kevin in Los Angeles called and said he was inspired by Joe in Little Rock and that the Jungle brings us together.
E mail
"My predictions for the Olympics (hockey): Gold- USA. Silver- Hat. Bronze- Russia." (The "hat" was a reference to a haiku sent recently referring to Canada as the USA's "hat".
Take
Jim's take on Sean Payton looking longingly at the Lombardi Trophy after the Super Bowl was followed by:
"Hey Rome. The last guy to stare at the Lombardi Trophy so lovingly was Mike Shanahan. He stared at it like it was made of cheese."
Jim responded,"alright, you're BLOCKED! You know why you're blocked.
Text Contest Selections
"War Rosemary going to "get some" from Joe in Little Rock."
"Hey Rome. I'll be going to Vancouver to win the silver medal. In fact, I'm going after 30 silver medals. Signed, Trapper."
(Jim played Trapper saying "30 pieces of silver" followed by his kazoo sounding clearing of his throat.)
"Triple U sponsor: "Co workers asking, 'Where's the job interview today?' when you dress nicer than business casual to work."
Actual Triple U: "Hey Rome. Are KB's torn off sleeves long sleeves? If so, I need a dress. Thanks, Calista Flockhart.
Result: "That's worse than triple U. That's just stupid. Not bad enough to get you blocked. I'll give you that."

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Jim is back in LA.
Jim will be off Friday, Feb. 12 and Monday, Feb. 15.
Super Bowl
Jim began, "..Gotta start with the onside kick. That onside kick clearly was the turning point in that game. You want to know why no team had ever attempted an onside kick before? It's because there's never been a coach with the stones to do it...one of the 'brassest' calls in Super Bowl history...What if that didn't work?...(Sean)Payton was coaching to win. Jim Caldwell was coaching not to lose..."
Jim gave props to Drew Brees as well, but said, "..The Saints don't win that game without there defense showing up the way it did."
Peyton Manning
There was conversation last week about whether or not Peyton Manning is the greatest quarterback ever. Jim Rome said that conversation was so ridiculous. Jim added, "Is he the greatest ever? Well, no...Now is he the biggest tank ever? It's neither...that's how it is on Mondays..."
Quad Yeah!
Rome: "They're going to have their parade. We're going to need a Will Gay. We're going to need somebody to add to that (the "Quad Yeah!).
Interviews
Tracy Porter (New Orleans Saints)
He intercepted Peyton Manning and ran the ball back for a touchdown in the 4th quarter to virtually seal the win. Tracy said, "It was the biggest night of my life..The biggest night of my career so far..." Of going down 10-0, Tracy added, "...It was just a matter of guys settling down on both sides of the ball..." Jim asked what he saw on that intrception play. Tracy told Jim he had seen the Colts run that formation and play on third down on film.
Tracy later called coach Sean Payton a players coach.
Mike Silver (Yahoo Sports)
Mike loved the onside kick call and Sean Payton's aggressiveness. They discussed the Colts playing more conservatively than the Saints. Jim then brought up the Saints defense. Mike mentioned the Saints stopping 3 Hall of Fame quarterbacks this post season.
Mike Krzyzewski (Duke Basketball)
Duke is ranked #9. Mike was happy with there last win. He talked about letting his players be themselves and not catagorizing them as guards, fowards, or center. He feels it's more natural to do that. He used terms like "handling the ball" and "playing from the perimeter". They also talked about Team USA. Coach "K" is continuing as Team USA's coach. He spoke highly of Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Dwayne Wade, and Kevin Durant.
Video Parody
There was a time when Coach "K" didn't come into the Jungle. This was made the day Coach "K" came into the Jungle for the first time last April.
Callers
-Billy talked about Peyton Manning using the word "we" in the post game press conference. On his way out, Bill "warred" "Going to Pro Flowers and putting it on your wife's (credit) card."
-KC in LA brought up Cris Collinsworth calling Jim's old Tour Stops "Power of Rome" tour. KC asked Jim if he was going "Tony Robbins" on us. Jim then quizzed him on motivational speakers.
Text Contest (by J. Stew...with the song "J. Stew" in playing in the backround)
"Hey Rome. I bet housekeeping found Kyle's phone under a pile of torn off sleeves that he left in the hotel room. "
"Rom Bay, how many people watching the halftime show actually know what a pin ball machine is, much less how to become a wizard at one? Underdog
"Hey Van Smack. As fas as Manning's legacy, you can say he 'Vic in NoCalled the bed'." Texters laboratory. "War Trapper".
Triple U sponsor: "That chick at my Super Bowl party who opened the night by asking what 'First and ten' means."
Actual Triple U: "Dear Jim, I don't fight. I end lives. OJ"
Result: "That's funny to you? You can look foward to a month of text contests like that ."

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of Today's Jim Rome Show
(Today's summary will be abbreviated due to a road trip by Greg in Sun Valley)
It's Friday! Jim asked for a "Quad Yeah!" He said he needed it, and Alvin gave it to him!
Jim's Thursday night
Jim told us he got to "kick it" with Chris Johnson some yesterday.
Jim also told us about a listener party put on by the local affiliate WINZ. He mentioned meeting a listener who is also a texter!...Dave no longer in Albany...who turns out to be a golf pro. Jim said, "What's next? Is Ugly Bob a (insert sport)? Jim said it is sometimes surreal to meet listeners...but that last night was hilarious.
Charles Oakley was also one of the people Jim bumped into thursday night.
Interviews (only the first five)
Tom Curran (Comcast)
Tom agreed that the week could be classified as boring in relation to Super Bowl stories. He did think it would be different if the Colts were playing for 19-0. He mentioned one Colt player that had said, "It's the front office," back when the Colts pulled starters against the Jets.
Brent Celek (Philadelphia Eagles)
Brent said it was his first time attending Super Bowl festivities. He said he had done 20 interviews today, but then bumped it down to 17 when Jim pressed for the real number. Brent said he liked all of them, then admitted to liking only about 10 of them!
Ricky Watters (Retired NFL RB)
Rome brought up Super Bowl 29. Ricky was the RB for the 49ers who defeated the San Diego Chargers handily. Ricky said that 49er team really "clicked". Asked about the Hall of Fame, Ricky said he feels he deserves to go and believes it is only a matter of time.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. (Welterweight Boxer)
Jim asked if he was Floyd Mayweather or "Money May" today. Floyd said he was Floyd...since he was tired and partied all night! He said the fight with Manny Pacquaio didn't happen because Manny didn't want to take a "$25 million drug test". Floyd said he was trying to clean up all sports. He will be fighting Shane Mosley, who has agreed to Olympic style drug testing.
Gregg Doyel (Columnist)
He came on and called Richard Machwicz "Mr. Clean dude"! They did a little MMA talk, then hit the Super Bowl. Gregg is picking the Saints to win.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Jim began, "...Live once againg from Radio Row...Today will be as good or better than yesterday...except that we won't have a Heisman Trophy winner own Kyle Brandt the way Sam Bradford did yesterday. But, I will have three Hall of Fame quarterbacks on today..."
Facebook update: 60,000+ Jim Rome fans
2 Stories
Jim said there were only two stories surrounding the Super Bowl this week: Dwight Freeney's ankle and whether or not Peyton Manning has to have this game. Jim, "..and if he does get this game, is he going to be the greatest quarterback ever?...There's nothing else that anybody's talking about...it's been the most bizarre, and by bizarre I mean boring Super Bowl week ever. There's nothing happening...except for the idiots outside my room every single night playing whatever they're playing...If it's not a marching band, it's a cover band..."
Interviews
Antonio Gates (San Diego Chargers)
Antonio talked about the disappointing loss to the Jets after having home field advantage. He feels they were equipped to win but made too many uncharacteristic mistakes. These included a consistent kicker missing 3 field goals and a costly unsportmanlike conduct penalty. He mentioned it all being a part of the fact that they are human.
Joe Montana and Dwight Clark
The Hall of Fame QB and his 49er teammate reminisced about "the catch" in the Super Bowl. Joe said he wasn't throwing it away, but had been instructed to throw it high so only Dwight could catch it or have it go out of bounds. They also talked about how they used to rib each other and teammates in those days.
Jim Kelly (Hall of Fame QB)
Jim talked about his relationship with his brothers, mentioning hunting with them and his high school coach.
He also said it takes a strong and special person to play quarterback in Buffalo.
Bill Romanowski (Retired NFLer)
Bill came on and was quite candid. He first said he was not proud of all the things he did as a player. Jim Rome asked him, "Were you a dirty player?" Bill said he pushed the limits, and at times was (dirty). He admitted steroid use and said he was not proud of that. He also recounted the incident where he and a Raider teammate got into a fight, which ended in injury to the other player. He regretted that too.
It was a very candid interview that Jim Rome liked a lot.
Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions)
They talked about his rookie year and the game against the Browns where Matt got hit hard and had to come off the field only to return to throw the game winning TD pass.
Randy Cross (NFL analyst)
He talked about his time with the 49ers and of the greatness of Joe Montana.
The topic of players today saying they don't get respect came up. Randy said, "...You make $10 million a year..people need to blow more smoke up you butt about how good you are and how good your team is?"
Troy Aikman (Retired Dallas Cowboy)
Jim brought up a statement Troy made before about Tony Romo not knowing all that it takes to be the Dallas Cowboys quarterback. Troy now feels that Tony has come a long way and had a great year. They also talked about Jerry Jones and coach Wade Phillips.
Thomas Dimitroff (Atlanta Falcons GM)
Thomas told Jim that the Falcons would make sound fiscal decisions this off season. He did say they would look at Julius Peppers. Of QB Matt Ryan, Thomas said he needs to eliminate some of the interceptions at critical times...and, "...needs to realize that sometimes it's best to take a sack.." He does like Ryan's fire, passion, and work ethic.
LaMarr Woodley (Pittsburgh Steelers)
Jim bought up that LaMarr had a better 2nd half of the season statistically. LaMarr felt he pressured the QB just as well in the first half but just didn't get the stats. LaMarr also mentioned talking to Ray Lewis at the Pro Bowl. He told us that Ray is very willing to help young players and offer his knowlege.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Facebook update: 54,000+ fans of Jim Rome at the start of the show.
Jim is broadcasting from Florida for Super Bowl week.
Again, Super Bowl week makes for a different type of show - heavy on interviews and football.
Opening
Jim said, "...so nothing's happening." He then reset a Super Bowl 33 story of Ray Buchanan hitting Shannon Sharpe with a "Mr. Ed" blast. Jim went on, "...That's what we need befor a Super Bowl...It hasn't happened yet and it's not going to happen." Jim said the best we are going to get this week in the way of controversy was Peyton Manning mistakenly referring to Darren Sharper as his brother Jaime Sharper.
Interviews
Ross Tucker (Sports Illustrated)

Facebook update: 54,000+ fans of Jim Rome at the start of the show.
Jim is broadcasting from Florida for Super Bowl week.
Again, Super Bowl week makes for a different type of show - heavy on interviews and football.
Opening
Jim said, "...so nothing's happening." He then reset a Super Bowl 33 story of Ray Buchanan hitting Shannon Sharpe with a "Mr. Ed" blast. Jim went on, "...That's what we need befor a Super Bowl...It hasn't happened yet and it's not going to happen." Jim said the best we are going to get this week in the way of controversy was Peyton Manning mistakenly referring to Darren Sharper as his brother Jaime Sharper.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Being on the road, on the "mother of all roadies," Jim asked for a "Quad Yeah!"
Jim Rome is in Florida for the week, broadcasting live from the Super Bowl's "Radio Row." He told us it was raining heavily! Pictures and videos of their location were put up on Jim's Facebook page. Kyle Brandt made the trip with Jim. Also joining Jim today is Richard Machowicz, Jim's friend and former Navy Seal known on the show for telling Jim to take cold showers to "cut a toughness groove in your brain."
Today's show and the entire week is interview heavy.
(With the large number of interviews, sumaries will be condensed on this blog this week.)
Super Bowl
Jim began, "First major developing story...Dwight Freeney may have a torn ligament in his ankle." He went on to tell us that the Colts are denying that report. Jim , "...It may or may not be torn, but it's clearly jacked up...That's a brutal development for the Colts...Ankle sprain, ankle tear...either way, 93 isn't coming off the blind side with the same sort of ruckus..."
Text
"Dear Rome Depot, We would personally like to welcome you to Miami. Yours, blow, hookers, salsa music, leisure suits, drug cartels, and old people." Matt
(Jim said he didn't see any of these, except a few old people, since he's been there.)
Interviews
Don Banks (CNNsi)
He talked about Dwight Freeney and his injury. Don said it didn't look good for him to play. He thinks it will have a significant impact on the game.
Don gave some thoughts on the Pro Bowl also.
Rocky Blier (NFL legend) and General Richard Thomas
Jim asked of Rocky's story in Vietnam. Rocky's foot was severely injured by a grenade in the Vietnam War, yet he was able to return and play in the NFL for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Rocky and General Thomas also talked about today's veterans, post traumatic stress syndrome, and help for veterans returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Mike Silver (Yahoo sports)
Mike started by talking about Kurt Warner and his retirement announcement. Jim asked if Kurt may return as Brett Favre did. Mike thinks Kurt is really done. Mike also told an old story about former Cowboys coach Barry Switzer.
Takes
Grammy Awards
Jim brought up last night's Grammy Awards and did his bit of inserting Billy Sims famous "Boomer" yell (From the Heisman ceremony in '08) into winners' announcements.
Rex Ryan
The Jets coach was in Miami and attended an MMA card. He was interviewed and heckled. He told the crowd the Jets would beat the Dolphin twice next year. Ryan was photographed giving someone the middle finger at the event.
More Interviews
Phil Simms (CBS Sports)
Phil's main take was on Tim Tebow and his Senior Bowl performance and his NFL hopes. Phil thought it was a mistake for Tebow to even play in the Senior Bowl. He said Tebow has missed out on 4 years of playing in a pro style offense and taking the ball from under center. Tebow did not have a good performance. Simms felt the game hurt Tebow's chances to be taken in the draft as a quarterback.
Maurice Jones-Drew (Jacksonville Jaguars)
The Jaguar RB made was excited to have played in the Pro Bowl this year.
Maurice brought up how Rome has "been there" since before he was drafted. Ask about players he looked at growing up, MJD said he liked the toughness of Jack Tatum. He said he liked to hit hard like Tatum when he (MJD) played defense in high school.
Kyle's Question
Kyle had been on air a few minutes when he posed a question to Richard Machowicz. He asked him what his "move" would be if he (Kyle) "came over the table" at him. Jim told Kyle, "You're going down the wrong street, my friend." Richard said a little later, "I don't fight. I just end threats."
