Not a bad start, Jeff in Richmond comes in with a pretty good piece.

I can't wait to hear Brad in Corona take some shots at Vic.

Don't think that the first call is good enough to win, but we shall see.

Obligatory Jim Rome gives good interviews but the rest of his show sucks comment.

Man I miss Rome, used to be a regular listener back at my old job when I was able. Always hated smack off though. Love Rome, hate the clones.

Listened to him the other day for the first time in a long time, I hate how I don't get the inside jokes anymore. That was the best part.

Dan in DC had a very strong call, he was all over Jay Mohr.

I used to love this. It's lost its appeal to me now. Has it changed that much?

I find the smack talk pretty funny, but I get what a couple people are saying about needing to know the inside jokes. I tend to listen to the Fan every day at work because I have that option, and it beats listening to pop music.

I'm not a big Trapper fan but his call was pretty good, still think Dan in DC was stronger.

Nice one by Trapper, but it is his typical clever rant that doesn't have quite enough spice to win him the smack off. He is one of Jim's favorite callers, but I just can't see him winning it, shows up with an above average call, but never a great one.

Trapper pisses me off, but I loved the part about kicking criminal butts in the courts of our great country bit. That was awesome.

I liked trappers call about the shows history, but I don't think he will ever win a smack off.

Dans take about the requirements to win it was the best part so far. I would love to hear someone bring up romes hypocrisy with personal appearance takes and how he let's the "best callers" get away with it all the time.

Savagely ripping into Vic in NoCal. Probably won't win with it just being a rip-fest on one caller though.
