PTS Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 Not that we need any more help, but the Sabres will get some jungle karma tomorrow when Chris Drury will be on The Jim Rome Show. WGR 550 in between noon and 3pm. Also, WGR streaming is weeks away. Paraphrasing the inteview as good as I could: JR: Three more games before olympics, when do you start thinking about Turin and not about Sabres. CD: You try to stay as focused as you can, but it's creaping in. With packing and everything else you can't help but get excited. JR: Can Team USA compete for a Gold medal? CD: I think we can, we are in a transition but we are still good and have as good as shot as anybody. JR: Should Miller be starting for Team USA? CD: His play warrants it, if they could go back and do it over they'd pick him. It was a tough position for Don Waddell because of Ryan's injury. JR: Does the break come at a good time with the Sabres playing so well. CD: I think it comes in a perfect time as we have a long March coming up. It will be nice to see some new faces. JR: Are the Sabres benefiting in the new NHL. You guys got some speedsters. CD: Without a doubt, our coaching staff taught us well and showed video for us to study the new rules. JR: Was the Kasparistis hit dirty? CD: Technically it's a legal hit but I don't like it. He's got a reputition for being dirty. We didn't like that he didn't stand up for himself. JR: What will happen in future games with the Rangers? CD: If he's not going to fight what can we do? We're in a tight race with the Rangers. We'll play hard against him and if some guys have a chance to finish their checks they will. JR: Where do you put your Little League experience compared to everything else. CD: I wouldn't trade anything I won or accomplished for anything else. All those experiences are still vivid and it's hard to compare. JR: What about Buffalo? How much would it mean to the city if you can win the cup? CD: I can't even put it into words, this town has been through a lot with us and the Bills. Bankruptcy, the new owner basically saved the team in the city and if we can win the cup it would be absolutely amazing. JR: Rich Tochett? What are your thoughts? CD: It's tough news. I heard only unbelieveably good things about him and this will hurt everyone involved including the league.
Two or less Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 thanks for the heads up!! I can't wait. You know you're doing something good when Drury is on the Rome Show!
JujuFish Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 WGR is going to stream over the internet?
inkman Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 WGR is going to stream over the internet? Yes. The announcement was made 5 years ago and they plan to unveil it the next time the SuperBowl is actually decided by the palyers on the field.
inkman Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 thanks for the heads up!! I can't wait. You know you're doing something good when Drury is on the Rome Show! In case anyone wants to catch this and can't get am at work. hot talk 1280
Knightrider Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 WGR is going to stream over the internet? PTS said that a while back, and Brad Riter said the same thing last night, right before nhl.com's feed finished...
fushetti Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 Oh Man. I can't wait till GR streams again. I know for a while it was Entercom's policy to not stream, but as a Red Sox fan, I listen to WEEI in Boston over the web (also an Entercom station) I knew it was a matter of time til GR would be back on! Woo hoo! I'm gonna have to remind myself about Rome... Gotta hear Drury and get that Karma!
Stoner Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 Jim Rome is terrible. Dog, that act is so played out.
Two or less Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 Jim Rome is terrible. Dog, that act is so played out. terrible or not, still one of the most listened to sports talk shows in the country.... so obviously he's doing something right.

Woo hoo! I'm gonna have to remind myself about Rome... Gotta hear Drury and get that Karma! WEEI? We Enjoy Extra Intercoarse with Tom Brady and the rest of the Patriots station. During baseball season, I can barely tolerate it(as I am a Sox fan). Anywhere near football, look out for the big circle jerk aroung Tom Brady and his boys. Do you like the Patriots or something? UGH! p.s. Smerlas is one of the five dumbest people on Earth. It's bad enough he's on in Rochester once a week.
Stoner Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 terrible or not, still one of the most listened to sports talk shows in the country.... so obviously he's doing something right. A lot of people eat Domino's Pizza and watch "American Idol" too. No one said Americans have any taste. :)

Speaking of Smerlas, i love when he chimes in on matters concerning other sports.
fushetti Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 terrible or not, still one of the most listened to sports talk shows in the country.... so obviously he's doing something right. Rome is huge because his employer, clear channel, owns stations in virtually every freaking market in America (except Buffalo thank heavens).
fushetti Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 A lot of people eat Domino's Pizza and watch "American Idol" too. No one said Americans have any taste. :) Are you upset that they aren't singing more Billy Joel songs?
inkman Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 Jim Rome is terrible. Dog, that act is so played out. Well, atleast you didn't use "dawg". Romey tries a little too hard with the testosterone, but I got 12 hours to kill. I need something to fill my head.
inkman Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 Youre dead on. I can't listen to it unless its baseball season. Speaking of Smerlas, i love when he chimes in on matters concerning other sports. OK. Were on the same page then. I can't wait for spring training. I think some Yankme fans have underestimated some of Boston's moves. - I know. I'll get off baseball in the hockey forum.
Eleven Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 Rome just announced that Drury will be on during the third hour (2pm-3pm Eastern).
shrader Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 OK. Were on the same page then. I can't wait for spring training. I think some Yankme fans have underestimated some of Boston's moves. I have to coment, and then I'll drop it. Can you imagine the rotation of the Sox actually convinced Clemens to sign? They're in talks right now.

They're in talks right now. I've heard the rumos as well. On Brad Davies(local Rochester show), Bruce Markeson (sp?), baseball guru :blink: said that Roger is working out with the 'Stros and he may only be interested in a shortened season. It is nice to dream though.
PTS Posted February 8, 2006 Author Report Posted February 8, 2006 Bump bump bump ... Rome just reset that Drury will be on in the 2pm hour. Lets see how much Romey knows about the Sabres.
inkman Posted February 8, 2006 Report Posted February 8, 2006 Bump bump bump ... Rome just reset that Drury will be on in the 2pm hour. Lets see how much Romey knows about the Sabres. I've been listening to Jim Rome for atleast 10 years at this point. His takes seem scripted and every now and then you can tell he is reading his "thoughts". It is still a good place for cool interviews and it helps pass my ridiculously long work day. I guess what I am trying to say is that all his responses wil be written before the interview and whatever he comes across as "knowing about the Sabres" probably came from a team of employee who feed him the info. :)
