Jim Rome Show: Tim Grover Interview

Here's a very interesting audio clip of an interview Jim Rome conducted on his radio show on Monday, July 20, 2009. Rome interviewed Tim Grover, the man who helped train some of the best athletes the NBA has ever had (including Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Dwyane Wade).

Jay Mohr on Red Sox Fan... Carl's Jr.

If you don't listen to the Rome show, you may not know what's going on (and you may not understand some of the things I say) but occasionally Rome must go to the basement (go on vacation) so he invites some of his favorite guests to guest host for him. Jay Mohr (actor, comedian) is easily my favorite. Here's audio of two of his best takes on Wednesday. He had me laughing at my desk so hard, I had to take a pause it and take a walk.

Favre Jets To New York

I can't believe I'm the one breaking this story but the Packers have traded local diety Brett Favre to the New York Jets for a ham sandwich, potato skins, and a side of ranch. Boy does Brett Favre look happy to be there. Joe Montana wearing a Chiefs jersey thinks this is a bad idea. Anyway, the real reason I posted this is to pass along an email that Jim Rome read on his show that was too funny to fall by the wayside. "Hey Jim... I-N-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets!"

Rome With The "Chris" Blast

One of my favorite sports "honks", Jim Rome calls Jim Everett (Los Angeles Rams QB), Chris (after female tennis player Chris Evert). Jim Rome now says he regrets this encounter but talking heads need to get their name out somehow and this is the clip that made him famous. A little uncomfortable but mostly hilarious.

The whole situations is pretty much uncalled for which makes it that much more funny. Rome knew before Everett came on that he was going to antagonize him and he didn't waste any time. "Jim... good to have you on the show. Check that, Chris... good to have you on the show." Fast forward... "I think that you probably won't say that again." "I bet I do... (pause)... Chris."
