Persistent apologies for the Mr. Popper's Penguins propaganda pulled from the past year: this week's performance protests predominantly of: 1) Paterno: his life, protecting a legacy, and why we're acting so poorly over the top, 2) Paul: not Ron, but his son Rand and possibly pertaining to the pathetic TSA pistol making Rand not punctual for congress, 3) pontification of players, playing sports, and religion, 4) a fan-pick on the Phillies and Pence, and 5) the NFL Playoffs, leading to the prize on February 5th. Picks next week.

Hopefully this podcast won't be predictably pathetic. :)

Prepare for one of the all-time jaw-dropping Crazy Tom Shows ever...as one Abraham Lincoln quote can freeze you dead in your tracks if you listen. I talk about on this week's show using my Hi-5 format: 1) Martin Luther King...his dream AND the nightmare that followed (the Lincoln quote included at the end), 2) you may not know this about Mitt Romney, 3) no skycap at JFK Airport, 4) a fan-pick, and 5) the NFL Playoffs and Conference Championship previews. Enjoy...but listen very closely.

Lots of interesting stuff in this week's Crazy Tom Show...rolled up as total messups in serious and escape stories. You may want to consider me insane with some of the opinions I come up with in this episode.

This week: 1) the Gabrielle Giffords shooting in Arizona a year later and what went wrong, 2) the BCMess and why Alabama's win became college football's biggest nightmare, 3) the NFL Playoffs...WildCard recap and Divisional Playoff preview, 4) a fan-pick topic, and 5) the Jeremy Fund with an overview on what it is and what they do. Visit www.thejeremyfund.org for more info.

See if you can make it through an hour of THIS chaos... :)

It's the first Crazy Tom Show of 2012! This year I iill be using a new Hi-5 format...that's 5 topics of sports or otherwise to keep the show flowing; similar to when I made my football picks as a Facebook status...additionally implementing audience participation within the show. Right or wrong, my opinions and passion fly without anything stopping it so if I happen to yell once in a while...my apologies in advance.

This week: 1) The Iowa Carcasses, 2) My NFL WildCard picks, 3) why the Eagles have a brain and the Cowboys don't, 4) a fan-pick topic, and 5) the influences of 2011. Enjoy it!! :)

Ho Ho Ho brother! This is a combination holiday/football show featuring the best from the Big East Football Federation (BEFF) in 2011 along with bunches of holiday additions, including 4 Night Before Christmas versions with one of them by yours truly. The BEFF Championship game is also highlighted in this winter blunderland of a holiday podcast.

As for the holidays, try the legal, urban, politically correct, and CZT versions (some listener discretion advised on each) of "The Night Before Christmas", along with theories of why Santa Claus might be a woman, plus an engineer's perspective on Santa. This one is bound to be one for the book of ultimate holiday headaches...but still try to enjoy.

(Please note a moment of silence is presented to honor those victims of the September 11th attacks from back in 2001 prior to the game.)

Hello my friends...this is Tom again; though still suffering from a horrific Cowboys loss last night to the Redskins, I wanted to update you all on a battle that supersedes anything that is on the gridiron.
 
The reason for this note is to update you on my fundraising for the "Light The Night Walk" coming on Saturday, October 9th at Campbells Field (along the Camden Waterfront). There are also walks in Red Bank and Morristown that evening; plus a walk a week earlier on Saturday, October 2nd in Princeton. More information on these walks (or any in your local area) can be found at www.lightthenight.org.
 
For those who are wondering what “Light The Night” is, it's the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS's) walk and fundraising event to pay tribute and bring hope to people battling cancer. Though they mainly focus on blood cancers and other disorders, other rare forms of cancer are also brought to light.
 
Thousands of participants raise funds for vital, lifesaving research and patient services. Walkers carry illuminated balloons during the walk...white for survivors, red for supporters, and gold in memory of loved ones lost to cancer. Cancer can hit us at any time regardless of age, and I am certain that every one of us knows somebody whom we have lost because of this. However, every day research is being done in the hopes of permanently wiping cancer off the map.
 
This year, the South Jersey Chapter for Light The Night has a very lofty fundraising goal of $3 million. Though the goal for each walk participant is only $100 (which I've already surpassed thanks to those whom have donated already), my goal is to try and surpass the $1000 mark. At the moment, I have raised $150...meaning I'm 15 % there already. I know funds are extremely tight these days, but if everyone contributes just a little bit…even if it’s only $5 to $10, every little bit is a step closer to the goal.
 
If you want to help, you can donate by going to my fundraising page...which is at http://pages.lightthenight.org/snj/Camden10/TWilkins or by going to my facebook page, at www.facebook.com/crazytom and clicking the "LLS Fundraising" tab at the top.
 
Forget about my Cowboys (or your Eagles or other team) losing. That's not the true battle I'm talking about. In this game of life, we can win if we all chip in...and if you're still not convinced, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Sf_yayCygU and check out this short Donald Duck Volunteer video.
 
Thank you again for taking time to read this...again, please feel free to pass this note along to all those you know. Believe me, we can ALL win if we "Light The Night" together and wipe out cancer completely!! :)

 

Thanks again,

Tom Wilkins (reach at DJKrayzTom@yahoo.com or as a backup; 8569122059@vzwpix.com)

The same duo who brought you Regret...me with the music, and someone else with the lyrics...strike again with Heart Lies. Here are the lyrics:

(Verse 1)
So long, I'm done, I don't know you, I thought I did, Your betrayal is all I see... And it's causing my misery... (Verse 2)
Goodbye, I'm gone, I can't believe it, can I believe when all I can see are lies, And I know they're not in your disguise...
(Refrain)
Your heart lies...
My heart cries... Your betrayal can not be denied...
(Verse 3)
Leave now, Somehow, Your heart, Cannot be trusted, I had never thought that from above, That all your lies destroy all love...
(Refrain)
Your heart lies...
My heart cries... Your betrayal can not be denied...
(Bridge)
I cannot believe a lying heart, Go away since I am torn apart, Leave to my despiar, Will I ever care, If I'm beyond repair. But it's my heart, forever you will see, The truth my love was never meant to be, For you it is goodbye, Don't ever ask me why, 'cause my heart was a lie...so was I.
(Short Recap Verse 1)
So long, I'm done, I don't know you, I thought I did, Your betrayal is all I see...
(Refrain with back and forth voices) Your heart lies... (no more games) My heart cries... (no more pain) Your betrayal can not be denied...
'cause Your heart lies... (no more games) My heart cries... (no more pain) Your betrayal can not be denied... for all your lies.
(long instrumental break) (ending following hold) So long, Leave now... I don't know you... and I don't want to...

NOTE: this podcast was put up too late. This should not have been released because so much information changed since I finished the talking portion was completed. The info is as of July 28th, whatever happened after that I will have in my show next week.

This week:

  1. my title says it all: tragedy down the Jersey Shore was absolutely comparable with what happened to Donte Stallworth earlier this year
  2. the latest on baseball as the trade talk winds down (and a CZT Knucklehead of the Week on top of that)

  1. an unexplainable early report of a police officer's death before it actually happened
  2. the 2009 MLB All-Star Game (and so it goes)
  3. each team's look ahead to the 2nd half
  4. CZT Knuckleheads of the Week that go together
  5. short bits on football and hockey
  6. a team-by-team synopsis of the BNEFF for 2009

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.

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.

  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)

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.

  3. final push of the NHL season

This is at least a portion of the broadcast of the BNEFF Championship game which took place in Hilldale, NY. Due to early technical problems--and the way the game turned out, it was best for me to include as many highlights as I could...and not bore you with much insignificance.

Most of the first quarter was lost due to a faulty microphone wire. Unfortunately this included three scores. It got fixed up, but at least the excitement continued for the most part.

This week I spend the first half of the podcast talking about the House Bunny controversy, leading up to its Friday release. Will the movie turn out to be beneficial to the Greek community, including women's fraternity Zeta Tau Alpha? Listen to some of the responses given, but please note that I mark this podcast as explicit because of an un-childlike description on some of the issues.

When the sports get going, I speak a little on the BNEFF, then follow with NASCAR, a little basketball, some college and pro football, and finally some baseball--including the open mouth/insert foot section known as the CZT Knucklehead of the Week. However, I do finish with an astonishing reminder of what one of the presidential candidates 'did' many years ago that may play a role in the 2008 election.

I have been quite vocal as of late regarding the House Bunny movie starring Anna Faris, which is scheduled to come out (currently scheduled for August 22nd) from Sony Entertainment, Columbia Pictures Corporation, and Happy Madison Productions. Podcasts have made this situation a little more public. Word-of-mouth has also helped. However, after thinking about this a little more deeply, I am very worried that the fight (and this is a legit one) that ZTA has over the House Bunny movie may be all for naught.

Since releasing the details in my June 2nd podcast (which you can listen to on my website, at www.crazytom.libsyn.com), I've talked to several neutral people regarding this matter. Using those conversations and my hopes of getting into the media as a sportscaster someday, here is what I came up with:

First, ZTA has every right to argue about their likenesses being used in the movie. Personally, they are correct in that the movie gives an inaccurate and improper view on what their organization is all about. If you watch the preview of the movie via myspace, YouTube, IMDB, or any other media site, watch 50 seconds in. The main character (Shelly, played by Faris) is entering a house of a sorority named ficticiously as Zeta Alpha Zeta. The top sign above the door should read as ZETA, but the 'E' is already missing and in one quick blip, as Shelly enters--the 'Z' falls off, clocking her in the head. Two problems...first, with the 'E' already missing, the sign would read as ZTA. Second, to make matters worse, the letters are written in turquoise blue...one of the two primary colors of Zeta Tau Alpha. No wonder they are up in arms about this and they have every right to feel that way.

Second, and contrary to the previous point, I am very afraid that the ultimate chip is being held by Sony/Columbia/Happy Madison. Why? Well, shooting is already done for the movie. Post-production takes a very long time--especially when it comes to crediting everybody. Also consider lots of editing that needs to take place...no wonder when the movie comes to DVD, you see loads of deleted scenes that did not make the final cut. Hopefully, given this situation, they will credit ZTA in the movie for the use of their likenesses and that they can disclaimer that this is not how Greek organizations are supposed to be looked as by the non-Greek public.

Of course ZTA will not go for that...but consider two prior situations.

First, from Nickelodeon, the dreaded Jamie Lynn Spears and the Zoey 101 case. As you know, JL Spears announced that she was pregnant late in 2007, causing a firestorm of parental outrage...kids were now looking up to a teenage babymaker. From a moral standpoint, I can understand that the parents were right in wanting the show to be cancelled. However, according to info from sfgate.com, their article stated that her pregnancy "has proved good news for bosses at the TV network Nickelodeon -- more than double the normal number of viewers tuned in to watch the 3rd season finale of her show Zoey 101. The fourth season of the children's program was reportedly under threat...but 7.3 million people watched the final episode of Zoey 101's third season, over twice as many viewers as usually tune in...Nickelodeon will begin broadcasting the show's fourth (and supposedly final) season in February."

Which, as you know, they already did.

So, Nickelodeon's ultimate message to the parents? Screw you, we're airing the shows anyway.

Second, consider that this is probably the same attitude the film industry has, especially for Sony/Columbia/Happy Madison. They know that the House Bunny will easily rake in over $40 million in receipts at movie theaters. They know that this movie targets the 18-34 'Something About Mary/American Pie/Meet The Parents' demographic. The people already know that this is going to be a hit.

But why does it have to be at the expense of ZTA and other Greek organizations that know that this is NOT what a Greek organization is about?

ZTA has a legitimate complaint. Even their national president sent letters to the movie companies...but so far, no response.

Problem #1: The legal people at those film companies are probably stalling intentionally just so as the premiere date nears, they will release a very carefully-worded statement acknowledging ZTA's viewpoint, but theirs as well. So in essence, the statement will probably be a wash and the movie will be released anyway. But what if ZTA were to win this battle?

Problem #2: take a movie such as The Little Mermaid. That was a huge Disney hit. Over a decade later, The Little Mermaid 2 came out...but not to movie theaters, just straight to DVD. Even if ZTA won this case, once the commotion died down, the companies conceiveably could give a middle finger to them and, very sneakily, release the movie to DVD unannounced just like the numerous American Pie followups that have surfaced over the last couple of years.

This is going to be a very long and nasty battle. In my opinion, I feel that ZTA is completely right about all this hubbub.

But the biggest two-part question is: how far are they willing to go and, given the state of the US Economy, how deep can they get into Hollywood's pockets?

Realistically, this is not going to be easy. I really want ZTA to win this. As a supporter of them for nearly 15 years, I am backing them 110 million percent on this...sticking behind the nearly 190,000 students and Zetalumni that involve themselves with the organization as well as their fanbase. Simply put, this is 'the principle (ZTA and others and what they and other Greeks are about) versus the financial (the movie industry once again wanting to make a quick buck).'

May the principle...and what is right...finally triumph.
BTW...Adam Sandler, forget about the Zohan for a moment. You don't mess with 'the Zetas.'

Anyway, after a short absence I return with a vengenace and recap the 2008 NBA Finals--and Draft, for that matter. I also quickly 'pass-thru' with some NASCAR, some hockey (including a few Flyers' transactions), and some baseball that includes a 'Ray' of light that the Phillies can even use. Of course there are a few CZT Knuckleheads to go through from the last couple of weeks.

I spend the last 25 minutes of my show updating the 'House Bunny' movie situation, and pass along feedback from some listeners for and against this issue. Feel free to chime in at DJKrayzTom@comcast.net and I hope you enjoy the show...if you can at least survive it.

So what does this week's title reflect? Not only is there an update on the 'House Bunny' controversy, but also there are a few brawls thrown in for baseball, which will make MLB Charities very happy. In addition, I congratulate this year's NHL Champs and throw in an NBA Finals update along with a couple of legends leaving their respective sports.

Finally, I do my usual bumping and running with NASCAR and set records for separate CZT Knuckleheads of the Week...which will make people do the bunny--and brain--hop!!

However, this week, I present a different case before sports. Of course I am going to have my usual CZT Knuckleheads of last week and this week, but I am also going to also include a controversy involving a late summer movie, a Nickelodeon cartoon short, and a women's fraternity.

NOW WITH ITS OWN GROUP PAGE ON MYSPACE: http://groups.myspace.com/thecrazytomshow

A lot is going on, but my main focus this week is on the NHL Playoffs and my predictions in comparison with what USA Today listed. Also, I speak briefly about NASCAR and end with reviewing the first week and a half of the baseball season. I intentionally left a couple of things out because I'd like to use those unnamed events in the next podcast.

Throw in a couple of CZT Knuckleheads of the Week and we are in business...one of those I mentioned you may believe I am totally nuts, but there is good reason for it! Get a hold of me at DJKrayzTom@comcast.net if you agree with what I say and enjoy the show!

The title suggests a couple of injuries which I briefly discuss, but more importantly because my wife had to be rushed to the hospital. However, in this slightly abbreviated show, I talk about the last week of hockey and the first week of baseball, along with a couple of other odds and ends.

There's also the Final Four...and the CZT Knucklehead of the Week to go with that. So sit and enjoy this one!

NOTE: following recording this show I learned that evening my wife was released from the hospital. Details on what happened come early in the show.

There are good reasons as to why I haven't been around these last few weeks. Along with previewing what will be the 2008 Tacony (Philly) Eagles from the DVIFL, I also take time to give my NCAA Final Four predictions along with a baseball preview for 2008 in comparison to Sports Illustrated's predictions. There are a few disagreements, that's for sure.

However, there are a few CZT Knuckleheads from the last few weeks, so listen up--enjoy--and feel free to comment!

I feel as if I've let everyone down because I've only released one podcast in 5 weeks! Not acceptable! And now my throat is hoarse again!

So what did I do in its place for this week? I put together a short 6:17 remix to a tune that a few people may be familiar with, one of many tunes for Greek organizations that were put together by DJ Scrilla. This one uses his vocals along with a previously sampled riff of 'Stand Up' by Ludacris (from the original recording).

For more information on DJ Scrilla, visit his website at http://thedjscrilla.com to check out all that he's done (including his myspace link). I think this is a fun remix that I put together so I hope you enjoy.

NOTE: due to a server problem for the last week and a half, I finally got this podcast out but way too late--even after having to re-do the show twice. To me this is totally unacceptable because these are shows that I must get out as fast as I can to correspond with the week no matter what the obstacles may be...this is time-sensitive information in my opinion. Please accept my sincerest apologies.

But anyway, I speak about the latest in college basketball, baseball, hockey, the NBA, even a little Wrestlemania surprise, and even throw in a couple of CZT Knuckleheads from the last two weeks. Oh--and don't four-get about number 4 of Green Bay.

Enjoy and feel free to comment...and hear 'what drives me crazy' about halfway through the show!

So much for getting my podcast out from last week! Server problems prevented my show from being released...and now, the reset button has been hit.

I have to completely do my show over this week upon the incredible news (which I called, by the way) of Brett Favre's retirement. To be honest, I don't know why this is such a shock to everyone!

Listen to my comments on the 1-23-08 podcast following the Giants' win over Green Bay in the NFC Championship game. I made a prediction that Favre would retire because everyone in the media assumed that he would come back. Wasn't it the other way around from the last few years?

Hear my comments later in the week...along with other NFL news and other things I will add on from the show I finished last week when the Crazy Tom Show returns. Meanwhile, put four fingers up and pay tribute to Brett.

This podcast is respectfully dedicated to the students and everyone affiliated with Northern Illinois University.

I talk about the tragedy that NIU suffered last week, plus give the usual updates on college basketball as well as the current stories of the NBA and NHL. I also recap the Daytona 500, plus a special guest will talk with me about the Clemens/McNamee/Pettite soap opera on the HGH television network.

Lots of college basketball to talk about this week...including the sudden resignation of Bobby Knight and the firing of the LSU coach. I also include a couple of interesting stats from last week along with an update on the basketball player from Mizzou gone aloof.

There's NASCAR, baseball, football, basketball, and some bloody hockey to go around as well as a couple of obvious CZT Knuckleheads of the Week.

The title says it all. But before the 'shock', I talk about the end of the Minnesota Twins as we know it, plus share updates from the NBA and NHL. Also, I bring out some interesting college basketball news (keeping in mind this podcast was recorded BEFORE Bobby Knight's resignation; will talk about that next week.)

Then...the 'shock.' The most obvious CZT Knuckleheads of the Week--maybe in modern history. Yeah--there's a Super Bowl recap which includes incredibally accurate predictions by my wife!

What happened after such an explosive podcast last week? A big-time vocal letdown.

With my voice about half of my normal strength, I speak about the latest in college basketball (and a couple of college football stories that should have had CZT Knucklehead written all over it), along with the latest in basketball, hockey, and baseball...and a prediction that should have been kept private.

I end with the AFC/NFC Championship recaps, and a couple of CZT Knuckleheads of the Week...one I chose is certainly up for debate.

This may be the most eruptive start to a podcast since this medium was invented...call it iScream or iPissed!! 

When you begin the show with the obvious CZT Knucklehead of the Week, you know who I'll be going after for a good 20 minutes--so expect a larger eruption than Mount St. Helens from nearly 30 years ago.

On a lighter note, at the 25-minute mark, I'll have a new feature that will appear periodically...the 'wife' will have her say!

It won't be just football: I'll add some basketball, hockey, and another chapter of another 'phony reverend' situation.

This week, in my 'Crazy Ten', topics range from Clemens to Gibbs' retirement and other football in the college and pro ranks (including my answer on my national champ this year), plus there's a review of Wild-Card Weekend in the NFL along with previews and picks of the Divisional Playoff games.

I was planning on changing my podcast format this year for a fresh start...when all of a sudden a surprise guest walks in! Matt Francis joins me in discussing a lot of football, plus I talk about the NHL Winter Classic that ended disasterously along with a few 'bowl-dozing' moments.

In my final show of 2007, I talk about the Mitchell Report (and a bunch of names) and share my thoughts. Additionally, I recap round 15 of the NFL and preview round 16...which will feature a couple of surprise predictions.

Embedded in all of this are a record-number of CZT Knuckleheads of the Week, mentioned numerous times in the show.

In the final 10 minutes, I call out my own responses (humorously bad indeed) to Nat King Cole's 'The Christmas Song.' If anything, give that a listen...especially after overdrinking your eggnog. Have fun and feel free to comment on my final 2007 show at DJKrayzTom@comcast.net.

Now that the IFL Season has ended (once I mention the all-star game), I concentrate on a few issues ranging from collegiate football (and its respective bowling) and who really should be in the national championship game. Also, I include a little college basketball, baseball, and round 14 in the NFL--along with picks for round 15 and playoff scenarios.

But since there have been a lot of CZT Knuckleheads of the last couple of weeks, many have to receive their mention. So enjoy while you decorate for the holidays (before we do our decorating).

This is the 2nd half of the 2007 IFL Championship game (as described via play-by-play by me and my counterpart, Eric Perigini)--between the Claymont Buccaneers and the York City Tigers...a game which took place on 11/24/07 at Small's Athletic Field in York, PA. This game was won by Claymont 30-20--and we felt the 2nd half was the difference in them repeating as IFL Champions.

Again, the quality is 64Kb rather than the usual 128Kb because of the length of the game.

DOUBLE PODCAST SPECIAL!!!!

Part 2 of my double-podcast focuses predominantly on college and pro football, including the BCS, and rounds 10 & 11 of the NFL along with round 12 picks.

Additionally, somewhere in this part of the show, I give a major confession...if you listen, you'll find out what it is. (And NO--it's not relationship or gender-related, so don't worry.)

DOUBLE PODCAST SPECIAL!!!

Since there was no podcast last week, I decided to pull off a 2-parter this week. PART 1 features a recap of the IFL Divisional Playoffs and Championships, plus a preview of Saturday's game between York City and Claymont for the 'Chip' in York, PA.

I also include non-football material and the CZT Knuckleads of last week and this week in the first half of my show.

This show, done from home (sorry for the poor quality) focuses on the wild-card matchups in the IFL, including a couple of good games and probably the biggest surprise of the season. I also include a brief preview of the divisional playoffs this weekend. Along with a couple of other sports tidbits, I review round 9 of the NFL and give my predictions for round 10.

But, there is a CZT Knucklehead of the Week that you may least expect...from a comical standpoint. Enjoy and feel free to comment!

There was not much that went on in the final round of the IFL regular season. However, a couple of storylines developed during the week...one of which apparently ended up not being good. Listen for all the information along with playoff matchups for IFL Wild-Card Weekend.

I also look back briefly at another boring World Series and quickly preview the college football BCS and the 2007-08 NBA Season.

Along with the World Series comes a CZT Knucklehead of the Week...and an expensive one, if that. Enjoy the show and feel free to comment!

A little bit extra this week in the IFL...I recap a few games in round 9 along with a couple that I missed last week in round 8. This includes a team that had a tremendous win but fell for a letdown...you will find out who that is in my show. Also, I preview the 2007 World Series between Colorado and Boston and give you brief highlights of round 7 in the NFL along with my round 8 predictions.

There is a 'Philly' connection to this week's CZT Knucklehead of the Week--so sit back, relax, train your ears, and enjoy!

Round 8 of the IFL is reviewed with the focus on two very important games that were played...plus there's a preview of Round 9, the next-to-last week before the playoffs begin. Following that, I speak about Round 6 of the NFL, and early hockey update, and the Rockies...on a Rocky Mountain too high that they may need to be checked out!

Don't forget about my CZT Knucklehead of the Week...plus a few unexpected 'crazy shouts' early in my show this week. Be listening, enjoy, and let me know what you think!

Just when I thought this would be a short show, I amazingly had a schedule change which helped me finish the show the way I normally do. Not only are there interesting storylines for the IFL in Round 7, but there are also some weird happenings in the NFL plus a look into both League Championship Series.

And that only leads me to another obvious CZT Knucklehead of the week. Or is it obvious? You decide...once you listen.

We also know two people, whom affected their playoff chances, failed--and are now CZT Knuckleheads of the Week.

This is mostly a football show, but I save the pennant highlights until the end.

The IFL recap features two teams still blazing the trail in their respective divisions along with some exciting play as the halfway point passes on. The NFL features a recap of round 3 (including a couple lessons learned) along with a few interesting round 4 picks.

This podcast is dedicated to my wife...celebrating a birthday this week. Luckily, this week's podcast is a little over half the length of the week before. I speak about what happened in round 4's IFL games, plus--as quickly as I could--also review the wackiness which was round 2 of the NFL. Note that there are 2 IFL games that are going to be very interesting this coming weekend.

But, if you want to listen after the IFL stuff, there will be a Crazy Tom Show that will follow...that is, if you to hang around for our NFL preview and some other goodies (including my CZT Knuckleheads of the last few weeks). So stop laboring and enjoy this one!

After unsuccessfully trying to load a podcast last week, I combined bits of this and last week to make an 81-minute show.

 

This week, I speak about the latest on the Rider fallout following the death of a student in late March…and what is totally wrong with it. Additionally, I briefly talk about two coaches who recently passed away…Wake Forest basketball coach Skip Prosser and legendary 49ers head coach Bill Walsh. I also add bits regarding trades at the deadline in baseball along with why the Phillies were eliminated from playoff contention.

I also speak about the latest NHL signings and a NASCAR update, plus talk about which baseball players got a trip to San Francisco for next Tuesday's All-Star Game, along with my pride and joy (or lack thereof)...the Phillies...as they approach 10,000 losses.

Don't forget a repeat offender for the CZT Knucklehead of the Week as we celebrate the English King known as July the 4th! (Well, not really an English king...I'll explain why regarding that as well.)

The last 10-15 minutes of my podcast will probably be some of the most volatile commentary ever heard on any podcast…EVER. Please listen with caution.

With my Final Four 'busted', I talk about the regionals along with whom I believe is the best of those 'four' and why there may be a connection as to why the NCAA might want a Florida-Ohio State rematch from a few months ago...albeit in a different sport. In my baseball preview, I will also explain why the Phillies will not be as good as advertised.

This week, it’s March Gone Mad…with most of the talk devoted to the NCAA Tournament. But ask yourself this: why do you think the NCAA LOST money last year at the final four—and why are they assured to make money this year?

 

Find those things out—along with other tidbits and a slu of CZT Knuckleheads from the last few weeks. Enjoy and comment if you wish on here or on my myspace page ‘DJCrazyTom’!

Folks, I apologize greatly for not being around last week for my Crazy Tom Show. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond my control--including delays with upgrading the equipment and the studio interior, I was unable to put a show out last week. (While away, I hope you enjoyed my tune called 'Daytona'...shorter versions are now available for download at www.soundclick.com/crazytom; just click 'music' on the right of the page.) 

However, I am in progress with this week's show and have it halfway finished. This week, I will speak about the NCAAs and how they are going to make money this year rather than lose money like last year, along with teams that had absolutely no business in the tournament this year. Plus, I will update you on my CZT Knuckleheads for the last three weeks. This includes two teams that deserve to be in the knucklehead category this week.

Also, there will be a couple of NHL and NASCAR remarks--but I will also talk about the Sickers (win 7 straight and then lose by 50 after the streak ends) along with the madman known as Kobe Bryant...2 games, 115 points. (Who me? Here's your witch hunt, David Stern!)

Stay tuned for it...I should have it out by Wednesday this week. Remember, visit my page on myspace at 'djcrazytom' or 'crazytommusic.' Plus, look for more featured blogs such as this in the coming weeks.

Since I do not have enough file space for this song, I’ve decided to place the full version of Daytona as an instrumental podcast. Shorter versions will soon be available on my music website—at www.soundclick.com/crazytom.

 

My description of Daytona has several dynamics…I musically describe the serenity of the beaches, the happenings of college kids there during spring break, the sunrise, sunset, and nightlife, and even NASCAR…describing cars racing at 180 MPH as well as with much slower caution laps.

 

With several transitions involving seemingly monotonous melody loops, I think this is a very intriguing, yet musically ‘trancy’, description of Daytona even though it seems to glide endlessly for 19 minutes and 34 seconds. Feel free to let me know what you think at DJKrayzTom@comcast.net.

 

I hope you enjoy—and hopefully next week it will be back to sports for me as normal.

There is plenty of the usual sports stuff this week...including some possible baseball comebacks and college basketball. But the focus is a little more on the NHL--which did more trading than the stock market on the same day the Dow Jones lost 416 points! A moment is also taken out to remember two sports people who died in the last week...including a basketball legend.

Before this podcast goes on spring break so to say, there is a CZT Knucklehead of the week that you might not expect!

Remember: there is no podcast the week of March 6th, but I premiere my new song 'Daytona' as a podcast instead...be ready for it!

There's a lot going on this week! Besides going nuts over the University of Illinois getting rid of their 'chief', I talk plenty about college basketball--especially who's looking good for the NCAAs and who's looking to be in the No Interest Tournament (NIT). I also preview the Wisconsin-Ohio State rematch (#1 vrs. #2 recorded before Wisconsin's loss to Michigan State Tuesday night).

Throw in a little baseball, snoozer all-star games from the NBA and NFL, a Daytona 500 recap, a violent hockey collision, the Peter Forsberg trade, and a bonus CZT Knucklehead of the week...stir it up and you have this week's show!

NOTE: due to an icestorm in my area, I may not be able to come up with a CZT show for the week of 2-13-07...my apologies in advance.

Before reviewing Super Bowl XLI, I make a couple of notes on college basketball--including a legendary team that may NOT make the tournament this year, plus speak about NBA basketball, NASCAR, and a little bit of hockey--including the continuing soap opera of "How Many Ways Can You Lose A Game" by the Philadelphia Flyers.

Super Bowl XLI includes my CZT Knucklehead of the week--add two other NFL elements for later in 2007 and you have this week's show!

All the talk in this podcast is a preview--using stuff I've read from sources--of Super Bowl XLI between the Colts and the Bears; with my prediction at the end of the show.

Outside of a CZT Knucklehead of the Week and a special Crazy Shout, that's what my show this week is about! Enjoy!

It is seemingly back to normal this week: I give a 1st half review of the NHL (including the desecration of the Flyers), talk briefly about how I felt about Kobe Bryant's 81-point performance against Toronto a year ago, and, of course, recap both conference championship games leading to Super Bowl XLI in less than 2 weeks.

One of those games feature a very surprising Crazy Tom Knucklehead of the Week...listen to hear whom I've chosen!

And now for something completely different: after spending the first ten minutes on my opinions of 'American Idol', I briefly talk about the passing of NASCAR legend Benny Parsons.

This will be followed by a recap of the four NFL Divisional Playoff games and a preview of the conference championship games--including three 'shocking' Crazy Tom Knuckleheads of the Week.

Another all-football podcast is in action...I talk a little about the Sugar Bowl and why Notre Dame clearly didn't belong, plus mention a little bit about the surprising 'so-called' BCS Championship game in which Ohio State got what they deserved after stealing the 2002 title. I follow with reviews of all 4 wild-card games and preview the 4 divisional playoff games for the coming weekend.

Remember, there is my Crazy Tom Knucklehead of the Week...and there are several again based on the obvious events of last weekend. So listen, enjoy--and feel free to comment!

Happy New Year to everyone!

This week I talk only about football; I give a quick review on a couple of bowl games (especially the Fiesta and the Rose) plus preview the NFL Wild-Card weekend. In addition, I give grades to all 32 teams...trust me, on a couple I go absolutely NUTS.

Don't forget about the Crazy Tom Knucklehead of the Week...there are two: one for this week, and one for Xmas week!

As usual, I come through with some quick hits on college basketball and hockey, plus mention someone who is finally getting his due from an organization. Then, of course, there's a review on round 15 and a preview of round 16, including my perspective on the Christmas evening grudge match between the Eagles and Cowboys.

Don't forget the obvious CZT Knuckleheads of the Week...should not be an issue there!

NOTE: this podcast was recorded 90 minutes before the announcement of the Allen Iverson trade to Denver.

Once again, there's a lot of football with my round 14 recap in the NFL (along with round 15 picks), but I also include a college coach who bailed out on his team! There's also some hockey and basketball to go around, along with more free agent signings that partly explain why the United States is $9 trillion in debt.

Don't forget about an obvious CZT Knucklehead Of The Week, but also pay attention to your team's playoff chances--along with the teams that have been eradicated from January participation thanks to the 'playoff detonator!'

This week I briefly mention which NHL player is coming back 'into his own', while I go off on another crazy (literally) baseball signing. There's college football to be had as well--including why I think OSU/Florida is a legit national title game, along with other championship games that could be played in the future. After going 'bowl' crazy, it's the NFL--which included a 'freakout' result based on a prediction I gave from my last podcast.

Then you have your CZT Knuckleheads Of The Week--add all of this up and you have this week's show!

My show begins with a review of college and pro basketball along with hockey; plus a little story involving a college football rivalry (not the game itself) that went completely tragic. Also, I explain why I am petitioning on keeping Mark McGwire OUT of the Baseball Hall Of Fame! Finally, I recap week 12 in the NFL and give my week 13 picks, and as a bonus, I pass along advice on how to pick games involving dome teams this time of year.

Don't forget my Crazy Tom Knucklehead(s) of the week along with a new segment; Crazy Shoutouts!

In this 'pre-turkey' special, I ask: why emphasize the "THE" in The Ohio State University? I'll have some commentary on the Michigan-Ohio State game (where my CZT Knucklehead of the Week is) plus, I ask why Notre Dame is still #5 in the nation.

Don't forget my usual football picks for week 12 (along with week 11 analysis) plus my usual hockey and basketball with a little bit of college thrown in.

There is plenty to talk about...I review the last couple of weeks in sports, including basketball, hockey, the World Series, and football of course--except I make no mention of college. However, I give my usual knuckleheads of the week, my week 11 picks, and...a nice note to my wife to start the show.

Since there is no regular sports show this week, I decided to pull from my archives an October 2004 mix of tunes relating to Breast Cancer Awareness which I put together. This in no way is to say that I am a DJ, but this collaboration appeared on an internet mix show program 2 years ago, and I wanted to share this with you as we close the month of Pink-tober.

In this 20:37 mix, the tracks include...1) an intro to my tune Pink Ribbon, 2) Riva--Time Is A Healer, 3) Paul Van Dyk--We Are Alive, 4) Madonna--What It Feels Like For A Girl, 5) Andain--Beautiful Things, 6) Aurora--Ordinary World (the Duran Duran cover), 7) Fragma--You Are Alive, 8) Destiny's Child--Survivor, and lastly 9) Crazy Tom--Pink Ribbon.

Do enjoy this mix and feel free to pass along feedback if you wish!

There's a lot to talk about this week: the Crazy one speaks about 1) the 'shake-up' of the Philadelphia Flyers, 2) a quick NBA Preview for 2006-07 and whom I feel will be in the Finals, 3) an update on the World Series up to the start of game 4, and 4) a look at last week's football games along with predictions for both weeks 8 and 9, since there will be no Crazy Tomcast next week.

Of course there is also my Crazy Tom Knucklehead(s) of the week, but I also give my insight on which games NBC might pick as Sunday Night games later in the season.

Remember, it's DJKrayzTom@comcast.net if you have comments. There's lots of stuff to talk about...and lots of crazy emotion that will spill over in this podcast!

A lot goes on in this 46-minute podcast: after briefly sending my congrats to Zeta Tau Alpha on 108 years of sisterhood, I talk a little about hockey and MLB's League Championship Series--and how I think the Cardinals and the Mets would do against Detroit.

I end with a review of week 6 in the NFL along with my week 7 picks, but I also load up the largest amount of people ever involved in my 'Crazy Tom Knucklehead Of The Week' for this week, so listen...if you dare! :)

This week I feature a couple of things: 1) a plea to stop the violence in schools, 2) my NHL Hockey picks for 2006-07, 3) my baseball division series predictions (and ripping the Phillies), and 4) a look at last week in football along with my week 5 preview--and of course, there is my Crazy Tom Knucklehead of the week!

Thanks to everyone for your patience; I've been out with a bad throat this last week.

This Crazy Tom Show features my thoughts on how T-O OD'd and his current situation, the final week of the baseball season, and my picks on week 4 in the NFL.

This week the Crazy one talks about 1) why Terry Francona is not as good of a manager as one may think; 2) more on the T-uh-Oh situation in Dallas, 3) why Steelers fans should not panic over an 0-3 preseason start, and 4) a lovely opening week of college football mismatchups (including my scolding of Ohio State).

Don't forget about the Crazy Tom 'Knucklehead of the Week'...my pick this week is sure to be a dousy!

This week's Crazy Tom show features a couple of interesting subjects: 1) comments on the Redskins and Cowboys, 2) my disdain on corporate stadium names, 3) the inevitable rise of the Bankees (Yankees) and their bleaching of the Red Sox, and 4) an idea that could contain bench-clearing brawls in baseball.

Don't forget to find out who gets the honor--or dishonor--of the Crazy Tom Knucklehead of the week towards the end of my show!!

This is my first Crazy Tom Show...each week I'll talk about something different. It will mostly be sports, but once in a while I'll talk about something else. Whatever comes to mind, I talk about--and it's OK to disagree. The show also includes my Crazy Tom 'Knucklehead Of The Week' at the very end, so listen to find out who it is and find out how you can nominate someone for that category for a future show.

This week? My show is again on the Phillies and their continual invention of losing games--including how I felt about their trades (especially Bobby Abreu).

This podcast was created after the latest Monday Night debacle against Atlanta on 7-25-06 (it does not include the 2nd base umpire helping the Phillies lose the next night). I give examples as to why the Phillies are heading toward last place in the NL East and emphatically explain what is really wrong with this team in this 15-minute podcast.

As I did with the AFC in a prior podcast, I look at how the NFC is going to fare this year with only weeks left before training camp. Again I quickly summarize every team's changes and how I think each one will do in 2006. (NOTE: Those who are Cowboys fans--as my lifelong team, I analyze them as well a little more in depth; you may want to listen closely because Terrell Owens will not be the answer in my opinion.)

My second trance show features two more breast cancer awareness tunes that were not featured on the Music 'For The Cure' podcast. In addition, I've also added three songs from 1 Corinthians 13 of the Bible, which I call "Faith, Hope, & Love...The Corinthians 13 Trilogy."

This is a short (and possibly far-fetched) podcast on baseball. It's on the ultimate baseball conspiracy...all beginning with the 1994 baseball strike which cancelled the end of the season and the World Series up until today--where things are worse than ever. I also explain why baseball has not been the same since then--including why the media is also part of the conspiracy. MLB really has 14 teams...the other 16 are in AAAA Baseball and have no chance to win.

This is my first trance show podcast! Every month I will try and come out with a new show that features a different topic and/or theme to my music.

 

My first show is called "Music For The Cure."  This features four of my early breast-cancer awareness tunes--such as One In Eight, The Power Of A Promise, Pink Ribbon, and a new version of Racing For The Cure. These tunes will give you a little background as to what inspired me to write this music. 

 

Please keep in mind that all the tunes you will hear are instrumentals. Hope you enjoy! :)
