Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
(note: Due to technical difficulties today's "Quotes" are paraphrased.)
Jim started off talking aout the Cleveland Browns. Brady Quinn has been benched in favor of Derrick Anderson. Rome wondered why, if Quinn is the future, he would be benched after having playing 2 1/2 games. Jim surmised coach Mangini is panicking.
E mail on the subject: The Browns named Derrick Anderson the starting QB? That should solve all their offensive problems, signed taping plastic up in place of a broken car window.
Al Jefferson of the Minnesota Timberwolves came into camp in great shape. In fact he lost 30+ pounds. He credits eating at Subway. Sometimes he eats one footlong, sometimes two. Rome of course brought Jared of Subway commercial fame.
Rome told us of many pictures Larry Mandt (of the Larry Mandt laugh sound bite fame) has with celebrities. Some mentioned were Maury Povich, LL Cool J, and Joe Namath (when Mandt was a kid).
Jim joked about fans thinking they can fight NFL coaches. This led to Jim imitating the "Hoody", Bill Belichick. "Two sounds, me hitting you and you hitting the ground."
Guests
Troy Tulowitzki (Colorado Rockies)
He talked about the amazing run of the Rockies from 10 games under .500 earlier in the season to a possible wild card playoff berth and a mathematical chance to win the National League West. Troy spoke highly of coach Jim Tracy.
William Henderson ( Retired NFLer)
He played with Brett Favre, but says he bleeds Green and Yellow. He is still friends with Brett. He will text Brett's wife to see how their family is, but won't speak to Brett until after the season because Brett is playing for the Vikings.
Steve Smith (New York Giants WR)
Rome asked him about winning both a National Championship with USC and winning a Super Bowl with the Giants. Steve recognizes he was dealt a good hand, but also considers himself a winner. Steve had to leave the interview a little early to go to a team meeting but was apologetic and polite. Jim Rome appreciated that Steve still made time to honor the interview committment.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of Today's Jim Rome Show
Jim started off the show talking about Delonte West again. Rome said as soon as Delonte was arrested he was getting messages on his personal E mail. Jim said he felt like he was the one who had done the deed.(carrying 3 guns). People knew how much Jim pumped up Delonte and really liked him. Rome repeated his stance on athletes carrying guns, "If you're going some place where you think you need a gun, then you shouldn't be going there at all."
Jim then re-emphasized the fact that Delonte West has battled mood disorders for years. Delonte had apparently not been on his medication and has recently missed 2 practices with the Cavaliers. Jim made known his concern for Delonte West, the individual. Jim said, "This is bad. It just sounds like he's fighting a losing battle."
DeShawn Stevenson
The Wizards player showed up to media day with an Abe Lincoln tattoo on his neck. Speaking as if he were DeShawn, Jim said,"You know it. You know I rep #16. I'm all about 16. (the 16th President)
Guests
Antoine Winfield (Minnesots Vikings)
He said he has never been a part of a comeback like their win over the 49ers last Sunday. He said the Vikings have confidence in Brett Favre. Rome brought up that Antoine is 5'8" and 180 pounds, yet is one of the best tacklers. He then asked Antoine if his success is due to technique or mindset and mentality. Antoine said it is due to both.
Larry Foote (Detroit Lions)
He came to the Lions after winning a Superbowl with the Steelers. Larry is from Detroit and feels the move was good for him. Jim discussed with him the Lions first win since the 07 season.
The interview moved to Larry's college team, the Michigan Wolverines next game against Michigan State. Jim asked if that was a rivalry game and Larry said no, and that their rivalry game was against Ohio State.
Kevin Sumlin (University of Houston football coach)
The team is 3-0 and coming off a win over Texas Tech and are ranked #12 by the AP. The school is so happy that students are showing up and cheering at weightlifting sessions.
Jim brought up the story that Kevin hired his former coach from Purdue as one of his assistants.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Right out of the box, Rome said it had been a while and asked for a "Quad Yeah". (And the sound bite was played.) He then said it was "awesome to be back".
Cowboy's over Panthers
Jim's take was that is was not a big win, but a must win. With the Cowboy's new stadium, Jim said it's hard to charge $100 for a pie(pizza) and a beer when the home team is losing. Further, he said it was apparent theat Tony Romo was trying to not make mistakes and..."what would they do without their running backs?"
Washington Redskins
Rome said, "The Redskins are a disaster."
An E mail on the subject: "Hey Romesky, 'Hip hip, now I'm done', yours, the coach that lost to an 0-19
team."
Delonte West
Jim brought up the story of Delonte West being pulled over and letting the cop know he had a gun in his waistband. That's not all. He also had a 357 Magnum strapped to his leg and a shotgun in a guitar case. Jim had glossed Delonte "the king of the correspondent piece". (A segment on Jim's TV show, Rome is Burning, where an athlete acts as a reporter for Jim.)
Holding Delonte accountable for this behavior, Jim stripped Delonte of the title. Rome also asked, "Haven't you seen what happened to Plaxico Burress?"
E mail on the subject: "Weapons in my bag, weapons in my bag, extra, signed D. West."
Terrell Owens
Jim says "Mount T.O. is abut to erupt. The Bills lost again and T.O.'s streak of consecutive games with a reception (185) was snapped. In addition, Rodney Harrison called him "a clown" on NBC. Owens fired back on Twitter, "I coud care less about Rodney Harrison. Anybody that's using steriods, yes Steroid Rodney, is a cheater..."
Guests
Josh McDaniels (Denver Broncos head coach)
He is happy to be 3-0. Rome pressed him about being vindicated by the 3-0 start, but Josh wouldn't agree to put it in those terms. He did admit that wins are a positive reinforcement to what they are presenting as a coaching staff. Coach McDaniels is a subscriber to Jim Rome's streamlink. Jim asked him to bring up favorite Jungle moments. He mentioned an old call from Shawn Marion that didn't go too well and Steve Elkington's "seeing cat" comment.
Al Leiter (Former NY Met and NY Yankee)
Al started with, "... I had to retire after all this time to talk to you." Rome brought up him being on the Mets right after 9/11. Al said, " For months is was a somber feeling." Shea Stadium was a staging area for the the Fire Dept.and Al said they would help load supplies,then go play a game. Of Mike Piazza, Leiter said he was a good leader by example and stature.
Patrick Willis (SF 49ers)
They talked about the last second loss to the Vikings. Patrick said that loss hurt. Jim asked him about Coach Mike Singletary's reaction. Patrick said Singletary was supportive of how they played, agreed the loss was tough, but continues to stress "finishing" and playing 60 minutes of football. Asked about his early success ( 2 Pro Bowls) Patrick said he is thankful of his situation and gave credit to his teammates.
After the interview, Rome called Willis "A modest, humble young stud".

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Video
A parody video with only Rome in it in honor of his return tomorrow.
Today on the Show
Matt " Money" Smith and Petros Papadakis guest hosted the show today. They are from LA and host a syndicated radio show on Fox Sports Radio.
They started off poking a little fun at Jim Rome. Matt said "fancy" people take off a week and a day for vacation. Petros replied,"You think Bill O'Reilly takes just a week? NO." Matt went on, "Big time dudes do Monday to recover..."
They talked a lot of football on the show. They said they like to think of it as their specialty. (Petros is a former USC tailback and does color commentary on Pac 10 football games on Fox Sports. Matt has called football games on the radio.)
In the first segment the guys talked about retro jerseys. Matt said retro jerseys were made just to be able to sell more jerseys.
The Raiders
JaMarcus Russell was brought up. He has been very inconsistent for the Raiders after being a #1 overall pick and a contract hold out. Matt said 1 bowl game put him in position for a big contract. Petros said Russell may be the biggest bust in the NFL.
Troy Palumalu
Petros let us know that he took Troy to his first concert.
Guests
Spencer Tillman (CBS Sports)
Spencer came on to talk college football. The interview started with Tim Tebow's injury. He took a shot to the back of the head on Saturday and, according to Spencer, was out cold for 45 seconds. Florida does have a bye week coming, but Spencer feels that Tebow could be affected by that injury for several weeks. Asked about how he sees the SEC, Tillman said ,"I think it's Alabama, then everyone else, especially with Tebow's injury. Of USC, Tillman said their "intellectual property" was lost with last years offensive coordinator, Steve Sarkissian, leaving to become the head coach of the Washington Huskies.
Brian Baldinger(Fox Sports, NFL network)
Petros asked him about Brett Favre. Brian said he thought Favre's last second TD pass for the win on Sunday should be in Favre's top ten plays in his resume. On Michael Vick, Brian said he still had not seen enough of Vick to be able to tell if he still has the arm strength or the explosive running capability.
Further, Brian agreed with the guys assessment of JaMarcus Russell. Baldinger, however, does like how Mark Sanchez of the Jets has played so far.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
The Sklar Brothers guest host the show.
Here is a video I made a while back about the Sklars
Today the Sklar brothers, Randy and Jason, started with a take on Evander Holyfield. They said he "vowed to punch Global Warming in the face". They joked that Evander had positioned it that anyone who fights him is against the environment. Then much was made about a Taco Bell commercial that Holyfield is in.
Jay Mohr, who guest hosted on Wednesday, called in to tell the Sklars he appreciates their comedy and prefers them to the other guest hosts that have been on this week.
The guys referenced the "Sklones" , "A subset of the clones" that are big on the Sklars.
Jeff Feagles
What started as just a mention of Jeff Feagles (NFL punter) name became a topic/joke. First they said he is old and that he voted for John McCain because he identifies with him. Then came the rhymes. Boston Legal should have been "Boston Feagle". They said he should open a bar and call it "The Feagle Beagle", A retro bar where you can bring your dog. Next, "Legal Feagle", a personal injury law practice where you can "Kick your troubles to the curb".
This thread came up a few more times in the show.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of Today's Jim Rome Show
Tony Rizzo guest hosted the show today. He hosts a show on the Cleveland affiliate, WKNR, that comes on before The Jungle. Tony has two sidekicks, Aaron and Josh. In the open Tony made a point to tell the audience that he is not a "newbie". He knows the show and specifically requested Jungle "legends" to call in today.
J. Stew's appearance on last night's season premiere of "Gary Unmarried" on CBS came up quickly. The guys liked J. Stew's performance and congratulated him on it. J.Stew came on air to discuss it. Jason gave many props and thanks to everyone on the set and show. Soon we began to hear about the "spread" or the food for the cast and crew. Jason loved it. Texts and E mails came in regarding the job the make up artists for the show did to disguise J.Stew's moles, as well J. Stew's size.
Also, J.Stew complimented Tony, Aaron, and Josh for having "energy".
Other Topics:
Michael Crabtree still unsigned by the 49ers. Rizzo said he thinks Crabtree is making a bad decision.
Lebron James. Tony said he was on a whirlwind tour. He was surprised by Lebron's appearance on "The View". During that discussion a sound effect of the "original buzzer" followed by a game show audience sad "OOhhh" exhalation. This sound effect began to show up repeatedly throughout the show. So much so that an E mail came in saying it was being overused.
Lamar Odom is having a bachelor party.
A Russian "Nickel Baron" billionaire is buying the New Jersey Nets.
The PGA's tour championship is confusing and complicated according to Rizzo. He said people remember Majors' winners.
Guests
Chris Rose (Fox Sports)
After hearing the guys discuss Broadway plays earlier, Chris came on saying he and his wife walked out of "Cats" it was so bad. When asked about the Browns', Chris said, "Has the season started?" They then all debated whether the Browns owner was a good owner or not. Chris went on to say that if coach Mangini doesn't have success in a few years the owner should sell the team if he cares about the fan base and the city of Cleveland.
Bernie Kosar (Former Browns QB)
Bernie started off saying he was one of the Cleveland clones waiting for Jim when Jim went to Cleveland
recently. He was quickly asked about the University of Miami football teams great start this year. Bernie cited Jacory Harris' recent stats of throwing 5 TD's to 5 different receivers. Kosar called Harris the leader of the team.Asked about the BCS, Kosar said he would prefer to see a playoff to determine a National Champion. Of the Cleveland Browns, Kosar said they don't appear to have any big playmakers.

Jim Rome Clone Report by Greg in Sun Valley
Summary of today's Jim Rome Show
Jay Mohr guest hosted the show today as Jim's vacation continues.
The show started with long intro music...then a few clips of old takes from Jay. (The first one had Jay cracking on the city of Cleveland.) Then "Alvin's Mix" was played. Finally, we hear a live voice...but it's not Jay, it's Kyle Brandt saying, "If anyone has seen the Slam Man, tell him that we're looking for him." J. Stew joins Kyle on air and informs the audience that Jay Mohr is stuck in traffic, but will be here soon. A few E mails were read followed by a break.
Jay made it after the break. He told us about the traffic and hearing himself (the old clips) and "Alvin's Mix" while enroute. Jay started by telling us he had dropped some lb's and is no longer considered "FAT".
Several calls were taken today and at least 3 brought on the return of the original buzzer as they got run.
Jay had some football takes regarding FAT coaches and a FAT player, Andre Smith of the Cincinnati Bengals.
Subjects/Questions that spanned the show.
Would you rather be a World Series MVP and not be in the Hall of Fame or in the Hall of Fame without having gone to the World Series?
The South African Runner with dual gender identification.
Tom Cruise's love life
MMA (Jay also took several calls about mixed martial arts.)
Gary Unmarried season premier tonight with Jay Mohr and...Jason Stewart.
