Brad in Corona wins Smack-Off XXI

Jim Rome's Jungle affiliate in Castoropolis

The $5000 (USD) cash prize for the winner of Smack-Off XXI was awarded to Brad in Corona. It was Brad's third title as the Jim Rome Show's king of smack. The general consensus among Rome's faithful Jungle Party Clones in Patria, listening on PMBC-1152, was that Brad's call was not the best and will probably not stand the test of time (some Smack-Off winning calls such as Iafrate's in 2005 are still funny), but at least Vic in NoCal or the Mike and Shael tag team didn't walk away with the loot. Caleb the Walrus in Wisconsin (follow him on Twitter @iambthewalrus) delivered a very strong performance in his first Smack-Off appearance, and is certainly one of the front-runners for a Jungle Party seat in 2018.

To paraphrase one of the callers on the Jim Rome show, whose Smack-Off call did not go well, "make the world a better place, punch a social conservative in the face". The United States Supreme Court did just that - on Smack-Off day, no less - by ruling in favor of same-sex marriage. Gays and lesbians are now free to marry in all 50 states of the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. Congratulations! Mazeltov! Jai Ma!
