Jim Rome Show: Clone Choice Awards Open Thread
Once again a selfish post by myself that only services myself and RJBO. The Jim Rome Show is trying something new to finish off the year. Rome usually hosts two year in review shows. Instead this year he hosted one year in review show (yesterday) and today he is hosting in Clones Choice Awards where the fans get to vote on their favorite moments. I'm interested to listen to this show because yesterday's year in review show left more to be desired. I'm a huge fan of the year in review shows and yesterday's show was rushed by Rome to get through the entire year. So today's show better be great because yesterday's show was rushed and left more to be desired.

Too bad those AnO$U juniors (including Pryor) are probably going to go pro. #SuspendedForThe1st5GamesOf2011
ReplyDeleteDid the Huskers guy get the new voiceover job in the Jungle?
ReplyDelete@RJBO: Without Pryor, they would still be able to beat Michigan. #Lowblow

ReplyDelete"I don't speak Mizzilwaukee."
A Jeffrey Dahmer blast?
ReplyDeleteMike: "I'd like to thank my mom and dad who said I'd never amount to anything."
ReplyDeleteThis is funny, but someone bring the music up. #Oscars
Next award: Best New Guest
ReplyDeleteDid E. Gordon Gee get any impermissible bow-ties in exchange for cracking on Boise State? #1,000,000thVersionOfThatJoke
ReplyDeleteI forgot about this interview. I still prefer Ray Buchanan's rap.
ReplyDeleteI voted early and often for Brian Wilson. #ChicagoElection
ReplyDeleteUgh. Cam Newton. I actually think Terrelle Pryor got railroaded with his suspension compared to Cammy Cam. No joke.
ReplyDeleteI hope Wilson calls the show. #I'mbiased
ReplyDeleteBest New Guest goes to Brian Wilson with 61% of the vote.
ReplyDeleteAND HE'S ON!
I wonder if Wilson is at the Starbucks in San Mateo? #Someonewaskilledtherelastnight
ReplyDeleteHahaha at Brian Wilson getting weird looks at Starbucks during the acceptance speech.
ReplyDeleteToo bad the Houston Rockets PA announcer just beat out Mason from the Detroit Pistons for the CCA gig. #Lie

"Time to Die!"-Chris Rainey
ReplyDelete"YouKnowYouKnowYouKnow" - Fabian in Los Angeles. That got my vote.
ReplyDelete"That's one count kid. That's one count."
ReplyDeleteFabian's "YouKnowYouKnowYouKnow" wins Drop of the Year with 29% of the vote.
ReplyDeleteStop with the "mmmkay"s, Fabian.
ReplyDelete3rd place in the Hackoff was the best award Fabian had before this? Yikes.
3rd place in the Hackoff is like a 9th place ribbon in your middle school marathon.
ReplyDeleteI hear Louisiana tattoo parlors charge extra to dot the "i". #Lowblow #Oldjoke
ReplyDeleteNext category: Best Manual Buzzer
ReplyDeleteThe guy from Oklahoma got my vote for this category.
ReplyDeleteI'd still rather hear that Mike in Grand Rapids call than Aaron Neville.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't resist voting for Ray Ray in Tampa.
ReplyDeleteRay Ray In Tampa wins Best Manual Buzzer with 45% of the vote. #BuzzBuzz
ReplyDeleteVoting for Ray Ray is like voting for Obama. You'll regret it.
ReplyDeleteDon't try to explain anything, Ray Ray......
ReplyDeleteRay Ray: "Ray Ray's rack to run ratio is 9-to-1." #CloneSelfStats
ReplyDeleteQuick story, Keith: I took my niece to Ann Arbor a couple of weeks ago. In the Doctor's office, they had The View on blast and one of the hens were clucking about "a new life form made out of arsenic." I couldn't help laughing. #RayRay
ReplyDeleteYour love of RayRay is creepy.
ReplyDeleteTweet from Rome

Best Manual Buzzer of the Year? Ray Ray in Tampa. He told me he's going to be the Jungle's Michael Vick.Better shoot for Marcus first. #CCA
Next category: Best JRIB Correspondent
ReplyDeleteI don't like Ray Ray at all.
Dana White got the Best JRIB Correspondent Award with 42% of the vote.
ReplyDeleteSo cool of him to stop by to accept.
White: "I'm surprised (Sonnen) didn't get every award. He's nutty."
ReplyDeleteNext category: Best Song of the Year
ReplyDeleteDoooouuuubbbblllleeeee plays-Stapp
ReplyDelete"Aaron Rodgers Rock 'N Roll." Blech.
ReplyDelete"Please stay LeBron" got my vote. #Cleveland?!?!
ReplyDelete"These losers do not represent us."
ReplyDeleteJ-Stew singing Pearl Jam got my vote.
ReplyDeleteJ-Stew's Better Man won Song of the Year with 29% of the vote.
ReplyDeleteRome: "Stop lying, Butter Man."
J-Stew: "If he wants to win next time, mix in some vocals, Darude."
ReplyDeleteJ-Stew: "Can I be serious for a moment?"
ReplyDeleteRome: "Uh oh"
Keith, liking the CCAs so far? It's good, but still not worth having yesterday's compressed Year in Review. Maybe next year, the CCAs could be expanded to two days and vote on the Moment of Every Month in the Jungle on Day 1 and have these categories for Day 2.
ReplyDelete@RJBO: I like the CCA's, but I wish Rome would just go back to the two day year in review shows without the CAA's.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, this was just a trial to freshen things up, and he'll go back to the two-day Year in Review.
ReplyDeleteNext category: Rant of the Year
I voted for the "Tiger Woods: Fast Money" rant. I will not make a Ray Combs joke.
ReplyDeleteI voted the Grandpa Joe rant. I will not make a Willy Wonka "You Lose! Good day sir!" joke.
ReplyDeleteThe Best Rant goes to the Top Gun Sequel with 39% of the vote.
ReplyDeleteNext category: Best Jungle Bit Of The Year
ReplyDeleteI had to vote for the "Dilla Hunt" just for the "Woooooooooooooooooo!"
ReplyDeleteBest Bit of the Year goes to "Brett Favre Ponder Passing" with 26% of the vote.
ReplyDeleteI had to Google Pete Bercich's name just to get it right. He's so good natured about it.
ReplyDeleteTommy Heihnson thinks Paul Allen is a homer.
ReplyDelete"This is not Detroit, this is the Super Bowl."
ReplyDelete#WhydoeseveryonepickonDetroit? #Becauseit'saneasytarget
I just had to stop just to say I'm both impressed and slightly scared by the fact you guys get all of the Rome inside jokes & references...
ReplyDeleteI've got thick skin, Keith. You need it here, just in case of a stray bullet. #ReinforcingStereotypes
ReplyDeleteKris, I've been listening to Rome since 1998. I can't help it.
ReplyDelete@Kris: That's what happens when you listen to Rome since 04 like myself or RJBO who's been listening longer.
ReplyDeleteI used to listen to a lot more of Sports Radio back in the day. I'm basically down to just Rome.
ReplyDelete@RJBO: I'm with you. I listen to Rome every day and sometimes I'll listen to the Razor and Mr. T out of SF on KNBR.
ReplyDeleteRome: "The CCAs are coming back next year." So much for the two day Year In Review.

ReplyDeleteBring Back Travis Rodgers! #Ain'tHappening
ReplyDeleteBring Back Travis Rodgers!
ReplyDeleteThe show's quality was going down when Rodgers was still there, but it's definitely hit an all-time low since KB was named the producer.
Oh, the reset of the Brian Wilson JRIB interview. "Have you met The Machine?"
ReplyDeleteBrian Wilson's interview got JRIB Moment of the Year with 47% of the vote.
ReplyDeleteTaped: "I'm feeling pretty delicious."
Love you Brian Wilson.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I would think he was a massive douche if he pitched for any other team besides the Giants.
That's the Papelbon Principle, Keith.
ReplyDeleteNext category: Emailer of the Year
Dave in St. Louis is my favorite e-mailer. #Andit'snotbecausehewantstopunchRichRodintheface.
ReplyDeleteKeith, I thought it would've been Vic in NoCal. I voted for Stu in Manhattan.
ReplyDeleteStu in Manhattan wins the CCA for Emailer of the Year with 21.8% of the vote.
ReplyDeleteNext category: Jungle Interview of the Year
ReplyDeleteBTW, I thought the Emailer of the Year Award would've ended the show.
I've been listening to Kornheiser since 98, so I definitely get where you guys are coming from with your knowledge...
ReplyDelete/shows self out
Make it a clean sweep Wilson.
ReplyDeleteBill Romanowski wins the Jungle Interview of the Year with 39% of the vote.
ReplyDeleteCraig James is on SportsCenter talking about the AnO$U kerfuffle. Too bad Bill Clements isn't on the board so the Buckeyes could get consistent payments without selling momentos.
ReplyDeleteNext category: The Jungle Moment of the Year
ReplyDeleteGive us the Toby call please, Rome.
ReplyDeleteHenry Wrinkler FTW!
ReplyDeleteHenry Winkler got 61% of the vote for Jungle Moment of the Year.
ReplyDeleteWinkler: "This award is going right between me and my wife in our bed."
That Winkler acceptance speech was so good, I'm gonna convince my mom to get one of those reverse mortgages he's pimping. Well, maybe not.
ReplyDelete@RJBO: I thought you were going to buy her one of those swamp plots in Tennessee that Eric Estrada pimps?
ReplyDeleteI got my mom one of those NuWave Ovens for Christmas, plus a Slap Chop. #AsSeenOnTV
ReplyDeleteThe CCA was alright. I wish Rome would go back to the two day year in review shows though.
ReplyDeleteThere will be an open thread for tonight's football games.
Agreed on the two day Year in Review, Keith.
ReplyDeleteRome said earlier that the CCAs were "definitely" coming back, now that's down to "we'll try to bring them back."
If I don't stop by tonight, see ya and Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, RJBO.
