(NOTE: listener discretion strongly advised in a couple areas.)

This was not necessarily the way I wanted my first show in a month and a half to go. But I talk about what's been happening since my last show...at least for the most part. I throw in some baseball, then recap the NBA and NHL seasons...in extremely angry fashion. Without and pomp and circumstance, a list of CZT Knuckleheads of the last few weeks are also announced.

Unfortunately my show ended very abruptly as you will hear.

This is the first half of the 2009 BNEFF All-Star Game, recorded on June 6th. There is barely any editing...basically RAW audio footage of my commentary along with Dave Patterson of the NY Spartans. Quality may not be great so apologies in advance.

This is the second half of the 2009 BNEFF All-Star Game, recorded on June 6th. There is barely any editing...basically RAW audio footage of my commentary along with Dave Patterson of the NY Spartans. Quality may not be great so apologies in advance.

NOTE: this podcast is respectfully dedicated to the late Mike Verini, a 1993 Hamilton High School West graduate who left us way too soon...passing away last week at the age of 33. The first half of this show (the 'shock' part) talks about him, his life, and those who remember him--including some condolence comments. (You can also leave your comments at http://www.legacy.com/gb2/default.aspx?bookID=4346634249655 but the guestbook will only be up until June 15th.)

The 'usual' from me is my commentary of the respective NHL and NBA conference finals...will make my predictions of what I want to happen and what will probably happen. I also give you some brief NFL and baseball updates...along with my 'usual' CZT Knucklehead of the Week.

Any comments or questions can be directed to me at DJKrayzTom@comcast.net or on my Crazy Tom Page on Facebook.

Let me warn you ahead of time that I almost did not release this podcast. Upon listening, the sound is fine but there are a couple of skips--especially in the 2nd half of the show--that may interfere with your concentrated listening.

Rather than list what I'll be talking about, I'll share with you my usual NBA and NHL playoff rants, plus give a 'more than obvious' CZT Knucklehead of the Week along with other baseball stuff. However, the first half will speak about possible changes to my show. Although subtle, it's worth giving you a heads-up.

Hope you enjoy and as always feel free to e-mail me at DJKrayzTom@comcast.net with any comments.

Back with my first real podcast in a few weeks, here is what I will be groaning about:

  1. my western Pennsylvania adventure (with a couple of suggestive towns)
  2. a Harry Kalas tribute song that was sent to me
  3. current baseball stuff
  4. the NHL playoffs (and a bunch of CZT Knuckleheads of the Week...for the last 3 weeks, that is)
  5. a special CZT Dance Track...for the cure?
  6. NFL news (No! Favre Leave?)
  7. NBA playoffs (and my conference semifinal picks)

Enjoy the show even though it's a little long this week...and contact me at DJKrayzTom@comcast.net if you have questions. Also don't forget about my show page on Facebook...keywords 'Crazy Tom Page' if you'd like to join.

This podcast is a tribute to the late great Harry Kalas, who passed away on April 13th at the age of 73 of heart disease.

In this special show, I share a number of his great calls along with some of his accomplishments, including a couple of my all-time favorites from the Phillies' voice for the last 38 years. I also include some listener feedback, along with my personal contact with Kalas through the mail as he was kind enough to critique my announcing demos from 2004-05.

Listening to Phillies baseball will never be the same without him describing the action. Enjoy this special show and please e-mail me at DJKrayzTom@comcast.net with any comments.

I don't normally 'blog'...but I want to make this special announcement regarding my next show.

As you probably know by now, longtime Phillies (and Hall of Fame) broadcaster Harry Kalas passed away today at the age of 73. Needless to say, this is one of the darkest days Philadelphia has seen in a very long time. The brightness did shine as three Phillies (Victorino, Howard, and Ibanez) paid tribute with 'outta here' circuit dingers of their own in the Phillies' 9-8 win this afternoon.

We truly lost a voice for the ages. I was fortunate enough to send a couple of demos to Harry a few years ago and was privileged enough to get a couple of responses from him with his feedback on what I was doing. In fact, one year I got a holiday card from him which included his 2002 Hall of Fame induction photo. I want to take time to share this with you and the rest of the listeners in this special show.

Instead of sticking with my normal podcast format, I want to put together a special 'tribute to Harry' show for the coming week. In a completely separate podcast, I'll talk about the rest of the stuff (NHL playoffs, etc.) at a later time.

If any of you would like to contribute to this special show...such as, sharing your memories of Harry--your favorite calls, his personality, his accomplishments, his connection to you, etc.--please feel free to contact me. I am going to send a similar message to those involved on Phillies boards on Facebook, and want to use as much as I can in this exclusive podcast. Also, if you know of others who are not in the group and want to contribute, please have them contact me about this. You can get a hold of me at DJKrayzTom@comcast.net or come leave a note on my Facebook group called 'The Crazy Tom Page.'

It is not every day that an oppotunity presents itself to pay tribute to a true and gentle human being that passed so suddenly. So again, any help you can give will be greatly appreciated...just let me know what you want to contribute and I'll be more than happy to get a hold of you about it.

All the responses I receive will be used in my Kalas tribute show. Once completed, I will notify you and the Phillies about it.

Thanks again for your help and support...and I'll keep you posted on things as I start to put this together.

You would think the title would completely fit this podcast...the yolk was on me when putting this together. This week:

  1. the harshest baseball first week (including tragic passing of Nick Adenhart)
  2. a CZT Knucklehead of the Week for the ages
  3. final push of the NHL season
  4. no more NBA playoff push, the teams are all set
  5. updates on football including clarifications missing from last week
  6. a short recap of Wrestlemania 25 (the good and the REAL bad)
  7. why college basketball really was ho-hum at the most important time

All that and more on this week's 'eggcracker'...sourly put together. Please feel free to e-mail at DJKrayzTom@comcast.net if you have any thoughts.

This week, what you will hear is:

  1. an NFL update (including the CZT Knucklehead of the Week)
  2. hockey and the race for the President's Trophy
  3. a semi-obvious NBA update
  4. the men's Final Four...embedded with this weeks' CZT Dance Track!
  5. why the University of Memphis is NOT about winning...AGAIN
  6. a 2009 baseball preview
  7. finally, some interesting predictions compared to Sports Illustrated's...and a common sense World Series guess

Unfortunately, difficulties have caused much of the information this week to be considered outdated upon release of the podcast...a LOT changed since I finished the talking portion of my show, so I apologize for the outdated details in advance.

Do contact me at DJKrayzTom@comcast.net as always if you have any comments.
