The Crazy Tom Show for 8-20-08: Is It Worth All The 'Bunny' Outrage?

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 04:56:00 GMT

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.

The Crazy Tom Show for 8-12-08: The Usual Sports...And Five Onion Rings?

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 06:42:00 GMT

The title is a bad giveaway to a plethora of bad jokes. I do talk about the Olympics, baseball, and both the BNEFF along with preseason NFL stuff. Look for baseball to have a CZT Knucklehead of the Week that can be a bit 'heated.'

*Please note that the full song of 'One World, One Dream' by Sylver is used in its entirety at the end of the show (this is the supposed 2008 Olympic Anthem and I don't think anyone in the US plays it on radio).*

The Crazy Tom Show for 8-4-08: Georgia's Broadcaster And Some Bad Dawgs

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Thu, 7 Aug 2008 03:04:00 GMT

Georgia is on the mind of many as I respectfully dedicate the podcast to the late Skip Carey, the long-time Atlanta Braves' broadcaster who passed away at the age of 68. I talk about him along with the latest in baseball, NASCAR, and some football (including notes from the Big NorthEast Football Federation) which involves the CZT Knucklehead of the Week.

Also, there are some bad 'dawgs' involved as I talk about the preseason top-25 in college football. Something does not add up as I run down the list! Enjoy the show and feel free to contact me at DJKrayzTom@comcast.net.

The Crazy Tom Show for 7-28-08: Overusing The Yellow Flag In Other Sports

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 06:04:00 GMT

Too many cautions in this show to mention! I start by talking about the BNEFF--a football league I will be reporting on this year, then transfer to the NFL and the numerous moves that have been made already. I add some NASCAR and some baseball and finish off with some obvious--and surprising--CZT Knuckleheads of the Week.

The Crazy Tom Show for 7-14-08: A Political And 'Legal' All-Star Salad Bowl...

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 04:01:00 GMT

The title suggests a lot: more House Bunny updates (but this time there may be an end result), quick-fixes in NASCAR, the NHL, the NBA, and the NFL, plus a recap of the first half of the baseball season along with a preview of the all-star game.

Throw in some eye-popping politics and the usual CZT Knucklehead of the week, and business is underway! You have to listen to believe it!

The Crazy Tom Show for 7-8-08: Bump, Run, Sign, Trade, and Hop Some More!

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 03:47:00 GMT

So there could have been more action words this week...I speak about the many changes that will be happening next year for NASCAR, plus give updates on signings in both the NBA and NHL.

I end with another House Bunny update, plus add some updated baseball fireworks which includes a few CZT Knuckleheads of the Week...one of which got the award for truly 'stupid splintering.'

My article on the 'House Bunny' movie... (circa 6-11-08 on Facebook)

Tue, 8 Jul 2008 18:27:00 GMT

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.'

The Crazy Tom Show for 6-30-08: Catching Up With More Sports And Rabbits!

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Wed, 2 Jul 2008 16:25:00 GMT

Celebrate the English King (known as July the 4th) with Crazy Tom! But an English King, you ask? Here's where I got that from...go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKIanGG9vQY and watch for yourself!

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.

The Crazy Tom Show for 6-9-08: Twice The House Bunny Brawls!

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 01:38:00 GMT

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!!

Comment if you will at DJKrayzTom@comcast.net. Hope you enjoy this one!

The Crazy Tom Show for 6-2-08: The Finals...And A Fairly Odd Movie & Cartoon Controversy!

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Wed, 4 Jun 2008 19:00:00 GMT

This podcast features talk about the upcoming 2008 NBA Finals--along with a little bit of baseball, NASCAR, and the Stanley Cup Finals. I throw in a little bit of politics early on before all the sports get going.

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. Add them all up and you will hear a very interesting scenario (NOTE: there are a couple of editing problems in this section of the show).

Give it a listen...and send me your feedback at DJKrayzTom@comcast.net. Enjoy the show as usual!

The Crazy Tom Show for 5-19-08: Abuse Of Corpses!!

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Wed, 21 May 2008 04:08:00 GMT

I know the title suggests some gruesome content (such as what I start talking about politically--let 9/11 be a hint), but it just describes a team that is finished this year in hockey.

Not only do I talk about the NHL and NBA Playoffs once again, but I give interesting baseball updates--including the in-state rivalries which took place over the weekend. In addition, I talk a little about the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race, also known as "vot'em in and win."

A good guy comes out of NASCAR, while the CZT Knucklehead of the Week comes from hockey.

Check it out...listen...keep that mind open and feel free to comment at DJKrayzTom@comcast.net.

The Crazy Tom Show for 5-12-08: Conspiracy Season!

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Thu, 15 May 2008 03:17:00 GMT

After a week off of editing a football game, I come back talking a little about...politics! 6 months until Election Day 2008 and I come out with a few surprises and conspiracies that might just make sense...THEN lead into the sports realm of never-ending conspiracies that I feel totally exist.

Besides the baseball latest, I keep you posted on the NBA Playoffs and the NHL Conference Finals. The ice will certainly melt when the CZT Knucklehead of the week is announced for last week and this week.

Enjoy this round of self-inflicted insanity and feel free to comment on my chaotic commentary at DJKrayzTom@comcast.net.

DVIFL vrs. BNEFF part 2:

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Sat, 10 May 2008 04:34:00 GMT

This is the second half of the game featuring the Delaware Valley Independent Football League and the Big NorthEast Football Federation.

This podcast features an interesting ending to the game along with an interview of the game's MVP.

DVIFL vrs. BNEFF part 1:

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Sat, 10 May 2008 04:02:00 GMT

This is the first half of the game between thePhiladelphia-based Delaware Valley Independent Football League and the Mount Vernon, NY-based Big NorthEast Football Federation.

The first half features an interview with Tacony Eagles' GM Tom Peta and also explains why the game was held in Frankford rather than at 29th and Chalmers.

The Crazy Tom Show for 4-28-08: Someone Please Close The Windows!

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 03:03:00 GMT

As usual, there is plenty going on...I talk about NASCAR's Talladega race (and some inconsistencies), plus give updates on both the NHL and NBA Playoffs. In addition, I keep everyone posted on what's been up in baseball so far along with a whole bunch of 'draft' updates.

However, I introduce a NEW segment...called the Crazy Tom Good Sport! That means there has to be an opposite known as my CZT Knucklehead of the Week.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy...then go crazy and comment if you wish!

The Crazy Tom Show for 4-22-08: Leaving For The Draft? So Soon?

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 04:21:00 GMT

NOTE: this podcast is dedicated to the memory of the late John Marzano.

I recap the happenings of the last two weeks...the Memphis collapse, some interesting baseball findings, and other things--including my takes on the NBA and NHL Playoffs. There's lots of fun to go around--especially with a sudden interruption towards the end of my show.

This can't be a Crazy Tom Show without the CZT Knucklehead of the Week--and there are plenty from the last two weeks.

So sit, listen, enjoy...go crazy! And comment if you so wish!

The Crazy Tom Show--4-9-08: Swing Bats, Not Sticks!

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 11:35:00 GMT

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 Crazy Tom Show--4-2-08: Red Crossed

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Thu, 3 Apr 2008 11:33:00 GMT

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.

The Crazy Tom Show for 3-27-08: Just Catching Up

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 02:43:00 GMT

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!

A Special Crazy Tom Remix...

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 18:10:00 GMT

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.

The Crazy Tom Show--3-5-08: Sliced And Spliced From Rocky Top To Bottom

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 18:23:00 GMT

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!

Favre And Away...

Tue, 4 Mar 2008 21:42:00 GMT

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.

The Crazy Tom Show--2-20-08: The Minds That We Have Lost

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 03:42:00 GMT

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.

Also, I can not forget about a few CZT Knuckleheads of the Week...enjoy this show and contact me at DJKrayzTom@comcast.net if you have any suggestions!

The Crazy Tom Show for 2-11-08: Nighty-Knight & Blood On Ice

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 02:07:00 GMT

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.

So buckle up, make your skates not that sharp, and enjoy...feel free to comment at DJKrayzTom@comcast.net.

The Crazy Tom Show for 2-4-08: Recovered, But In A State Of Shock!

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Wed, 6 Feb 2008 02:30:00 GMT

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!

Relax, listen, and comment...at DJKrayzTom@comcast.net. Hope you enjoy!

The Crazy Tom Show for 1-28-08: Super Bowl XLII Preview Gone Overboard!

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 10:12:00 GMT

SUPER BOWL PREVIEW TIME!!! Everything else takes a back seat this week as I preview the Giants and Patriots in Super Bowl 42...and over-review the individual records of the past 41 Super Bowls.

Listen for my CZT Knucklehead of the Week as well as a newer segment, called "The Wife Says", as she also shares her Super Bowl prediction. Add yours too, by e-mailing me at DJKrayzTom@comcast.net.

I also shouted out a bunch of schools at the beginning of the show...listen for yours and contact me if you (and your school) want to be shouted out!

The Crazy Tom Show for 1-23-08: Consequences From The Crazy Eruption

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 03:06:00 GMT

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.

Comment! Connect! Contact at DJKrayzTom@comcast.net! But listen first...and then go crazy.

The Crazy Tom Show for 1-15-08: The Craziest Conniption In Podcast History!

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 02:58:00 GMT

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.

Please feel free to give me feedback by e-mailing me at DJKrayzTom@comcast.net!

The Crazy Tom Show--1-8-08: Really, Who's The National Champion?

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Wed, 9 Jan 2008 12:11:00 GMT

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.

One game this past weekend featured a CZT Knucklehead of the Week...painfully obvious, but listen, enjoy, and find out whom I add to my futility desk!

The Crazy Tom Show--1-3-08: A New Year And Interrupted New Format!

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Sat, 5 Jan 2008 21:25:00 GMT

(due to a server error, I had to reload this podcast with a lower bitrate...instead of the usual 128Kb this is now 80Kb.)

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.

I sure have not changed my CZT Knucklehead of the Week part, so enjoy some interesting discussion and contact me with questions!

The Crazy Tom Show--12-19-07: Mitchell, Football, and A Look Back

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 04:02:00 GMT

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.

The Crazy Tom Show--12-11-07: Back To Normally Catching Up...Somewhat!

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 03:13:00 GMT

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).

2007 IFL Championship Game (2nd half)

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 01:22:00 GMT

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.

2007 IFL Championship Game (1st half)

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 02:44:00 GMT

This is raw play-by-play audio from me and my counterpart, Eric Perigini--we describe the 2007 IFL Championship Game 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 (a game which Claymont won 30-20 to repeat as IFL Champions).

The quality is 64Kb rather than the usual 128Kb because of the length of the game (this is only the first half).

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.)

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 02:30:00 GMT

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.

IFL Podcast 11: Wild-Card Recap and Round 9 NFL Review

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 03:11:00 GMT

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!

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Fri, 2 Nov 2007 03:26:00 GMT

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!

IFL Podcast 09: Round 9 Recap plus NFL and World Series Preview

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 11:25:00 GMT

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!

IFL Podcast 07: Round 7 Recap plus NFL and Baseball Playoffs

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Fri, 12 Oct 2007 06:40:00 GMT

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.

IFL Podcast 06: Round 6 Recap, Baseball, and Round 4 NFL Recap

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Sat, 6 Oct 2007 03:02:00 GMT

This podcast is divided into three parts...first--a recap of round 6 which includes controversy with one of the teams, second--a recap of the NFL's Round 4, and third--a preview of the 4 MLB Division Series' that are taking place along with my predictions...including a shocking participant which we already know.

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

The Phillies' 2007 Playoff Rally Song!!

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Tue, 2 Oct 2007 18:19:00 GMT

Featuring Scooter's 2005 hit Hello (Good To Be Back), I include a few highlights that got the Phillies to where they are today...especially one coming from a man whom I think cost us a playoff berth a couple years ago...and now he's cost his current team October.

Please enjoy this nearly 4-minute audio feature. Yes, it's Good To Be Back in the playoffs!

LET'S GO PHILLIES! BELIEVE AGAIN!!

IFL Podcast 05: Round 5 Recap, Pennant Fever, and Round 3 NFL Recap

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 02:35:00 GMT

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.

The baseball pennant races feature a CZT Knucklehead of the Week...HINT: it's not a game, and it really hurts. Find that all out when you listen and feel free to comment!

IFL Podcast 04: Round 4 Recap plus Round 2 NFL Recap

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 15:05:00 GMT

(The disk error has been corrected: the real version of this week's show is finally up...albeit a little late.)

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.

Don't forget about what could be the easiest CZT Knucklehead of the Week on record...well, anyone could 'see' that coming. Enjoy!

IFL Podcast 03: Round 3 Recap plus Round 1 NFL Recap

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 15:19:00 GMT

This week's recap of the IFL features a couple of tight games plus a major surprise which has caused the standings to become more competitive...and possibly a Confucius lesson for all to heed by.

In addition, round 1 of the NFL is reviewed along with CZT Knuckleheads of the Week that truly deserve the nod because of their successful executions to their respective job descriptions as baseball players.

Although this is an 80-minute podcast, do enjoy and feel free to comment!

IFL Podcast 02: Round 2 Recap (plus a Crazy Tom Bonus)

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Wed, 5 Sep 2007 03:58:00 GMT

For the first time, I team up with Kevin O'Brien as we give you a podcast recaping round 2 of the 2007 IFL Season. This mostly features highlights of the Philadelphia Patriots' win 28-14 over the West Philly Bengals, plus quick shots on other IFL games.

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!

The Crazy Tom Show--8-14-07: Holy Cow...Football, Baseball, and Rider

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 06:57:00 GMT

This week's title is self-explanatory. Just updating 1) the pre-season football stories and the last 8 team schedules I haven't touched on yet (WAS, MIN, SEA, TB, NYJ, PIT, SD, and TEN), 2) the latest in the baseball world, 3) remembering Phil Rizzutto, and 4) a missing statement along with a slight update on the Rider situation.

Don't forget about the CZT Knuckleheads of the Week...this week, one is totally obvious, one you really wouldn't think of (but it's a real bad transformation). Hope you enjoy and feel free to comment!

The Crazy Tom Show--8-7-07: The Return of the Asterisk

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Thu, 9 Aug 2007 17:55:00 GMT

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 Marchâand what is totally wrong with it. Additionally, I briefly talk about two coaches who recently passed awayâWake 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.

Plus, there are plenty of CZT Knuckleheads from the last two weeks. Enjoyâand although quite long, feel free to comment! (You donât have to listen to the whole show all at once!)

The Crazy Tom Show--7-24-07: Corruptous Amuckus

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Sat, 28 Jul 2007 18:38:00 GMT

This is my longest--and most riveting--podcast yet.

At 75 minutes, I talk about the latest in all the sports...including features on the 'sick' Michael Vick and his dogfighting situation along with the Tim Donaghy scandal, which to me, says it may not just be the NBA that's in serious trouble...and I will tell you why that is with examples that will cause your jaw to drop in the final 25 minutes--even though they may not be true, there's a chance it might be!

Of course there is my CZT Knucklehead of the Week...in true form. Listen, comment, e-mail...and hope you enjoy!

The Crazy Tom Show--7-17-07: Athlete's Law

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Fri, 20 Jul 2007 13:55:00 GMT

How many more athletes/star players can get into trouble? I'll be mentioning a few along the way, plus give updates on NASCAR, baseball (which included a celebration of the Phillies' 10,000th loss) and NFL schedules for 8 of the 32 teams along with my observations thus far.

You also can't forget about the CZT Knucklehead of the Week...well, one was hinted last week, the other failed to insert foot when opened mouth!

Enjoy the show and pass along feedback to me if you wish!

The Crazy Tom Show--7-11-07: First Half Of Almost Everything

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Sun, 15 Jul 2007 13:27:00 GMT

This podcast was produced at home so the quality will not be the usual that you hear. I speak mostly about the first half of baseball along with the all-star game, plus quickly recap where everyone stands at the midway point of the NASCAR season following a wild finish at the Pepsi 400. Finally, I talk about more signings from the NBA and NHL.

This week will have a surprise CZT Knucklehead of the Week...to me this one was obvious. To you...maybe not so much. Enjoy and spread the word about this show!

The Crazy Tom Show--7-3-07: The Land Of 10,000 Losses

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Wed, 4 Jul 2007 21:28:00 GMT

This is another long podcast (just to catch up on lost time) but this show will keep you updated on the tragic Chris Benoit situation and other wrestlers who died before the age of 50. 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 Crazy Tom Show--6-28-07: Death in Double Disbelief

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 16:39:00 GMT

NOTE: this podcast is respectfully dedicated to Eric Snell, a Hamilton High School West graduate of 1989 whom recently passed away while on duty in Iraq. This podcast is not of the greatest quality and mood setting, but I speak about one of the great days for Hamilton West and the involvement Eric Snell had in it.

I later talk about the shocking circumstances surrounding the deaths of Chris Benoit and his family--but in the middle of my show, I clear up my hockey and basketball wrap-ups along with my CZT Knuckleheads from the last few weeks. So try to enjoy if you can.

The Crazy Tom Show--6-5-07: Detroit FLOP City!!

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Thu, 7 Jun 2007 14:09:00 GMT

Nothing against Detroit, but this podcast speaks about the end of the Pistons/Cavs series, a preview of the NBA Finals, a progress report on the Ducks/Senators (and how I turned out to be wrong after all), a loss of an enormous NASCAR figure, and once again, a baseball update featuring how to lose a game...by the Phillies.

So why did I call this show Detroit Flop City? Well, the CZT Knucklehead of the Week comes from there. So sit back, relax...and at least try to enjoy.

The Crazy Tom Show--5-30-07: Racing The Brain-Dead

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Sat, 2 Jun 2007 13:33:00 GMT

In this unexpected podcast for the week, I pass along basketball, baseball, racing, and hockey updates--but you hear me complain at my best regarding an NBA issue that has every right to be as annoying as ever.

And then there is the brain-dead...two of which clearly deserve the distinction of being the CZT Knuckleheads of the week because they caused an unnecessary injury. So listen...enjoy...and e-mail me with any comments!

The Crazy Tom Show--5-22-07: Am I Missing Something?

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Thu, 24 May 2007 01:35:00 GMT

As we prepare for this Memorial Day weekend, I salute the troops (although you may differ with my war views) and also cover the hot playoff action offered by the NBA and NHL, plus give you the latest baseball stories. If you listen carefully to my hockey segment, I wish for something (and just after finishing my show, the wish was granted!)...you have to guess what it is. Let me know at DJKrayzTom@comcast.net.

Of course there is my CZT Knucklehead of the Week...but on a lighter note, I pay tribute to my wife at the very end. So listen carefully...and enjoy.

The Crazy Tom Show--5-15-07: All Over The Place

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Fri, 18 May 2007 14:47:00 GMT

NOTE: Due to technical difficulties throughout the week, this podcast was not released until Friday...please note that some information that I give may be jumbled and outdated throughout the show.

But there is plenty to talk about...ranging from the usual baseball along with the NHL and NBA Playoffs...and I end with a subject that clearly will not make me a radio 'idol.'

Also, there are plenty of CZT Knuckleheads of the week...past, present, and future. Listen and hear for yourself!

The Crazy Tom Show--5-1-07: 'MAY' Is Drafty

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Wed, 2 May 2007 14:08:00 GMT

Besides the usual NBA and NHL Playoff updates, I talk about non-military âdraftâ stuff provided by the NFLâthen I add a few baseball quirks and updates involving the Yankees and the Phillies. We remember Josh Hancock and Kevin Mitchell in this show as well.

But there will be a happy ending to this showâI promiseâafter I scratch out a CZT Knucklehead of the Week, which this week had a âfightingâ chance for the wrong reasons.

The Crazy Tom Show--4-25-07: Beginning Of The Aftermath

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 15:52:00 GMT

I seem to be back to my normal self this week.

There is plenty to talk about...this show includes responses I've received from the people of Virginia Tech and what might happen next. In addition to my usual sports talk and playoff previews from the NBA and NHL, I talk about 'how you protect a major market'...several different scenarios involved here.

Also listen for my CZT Knucklehead of the Week...a person and a franchise...and the franchise should have a title stripped because of what happened. So go on...pass the word on about this show!

The Crazy Tom Show--4-17-07: We Pray For The Hokies

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 07:50:00 GMT

It's more life than sports this week. Given the events over the last week, I save minimal sports for last. I will speak about Imus, the Nor'easter, and the unstrapped New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine.

In this show, however, we pray for the Hokies.

The Crazy Tom Show--4-9-07: Calling You Out!!

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Tue, 10 Apr 2007 07:39:00 GMT

There's plenty of stuff to talk about this week since last week was too busy: 1) winding down the NBA season and crowning the Gators âkings againâ of college basketball, 2) a pair of obvious CZT Knuckleheads of the last two weeks, 3) I bring up something that is stillâin my opinionâa huge problem nationwide that many ignore, 4) I preview the NHL conference quarterfinals.

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

(NOTE: the Phillies are involvedâand this is before they were instructed to lose to the Mets 11-5 on Monday.)

The Crazy Tom Show--3-27-07: End One Season, Start Another

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 15:09:00 GMT

Basically this week focuses on the transition from the end of the college basketball season to the beginning of the 2007 baseball season. 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.

Don't forget about my CZT Knucklehead of the Week...which I sing pretty 'badly' to!

(Note: I mention two events relating to raising money to cystic fibrosis and breast cancer in this show so be sure to give it a listen.)

The Crazy Tom Show--3-20-07: March Gone Mad

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 16:31:00 GMT

This is my first podcast in a few weeksâhope you enjoyed my mega-tune Daytona from two weeks ago.

This week, itâs March Gone Madâwith 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 fourâand why are they assured to make money this year?

Find those things outâalong 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 âDJCrazyTomâ!

Out, But Not Out!

Mon, 19 Mar 2007 20:41:00 GMT

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.

Crazy Tom--Daytona (the full megaversion for podcast)

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Tue, 6 Mar 2007 17:43:00 GMT

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

My description of Daytona has several dynamicsâI musically describe the serenity of the beaches, the happenings of college kids there during spring break, the sunrise, sunset, and nightlife, and even NASCARâdescribing 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 âtrancyâ, 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 enjoyâand hopefully next week it will be back to sports for me as normal.

The Crazy Tom Show--2-28-07: Heavy Trading (not the stock market)

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 20:19:00 GMT

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!

The Crazy Tom Show--2-20-07: Trying To Save Illiniwek

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 10:03:00 GMT

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!

The Crazy Tom Show--2-6-07: Super Bowl XLI Review

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Thu, 8 Feb 2007 03:19:00 GMT

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!

The Crazy Tom Show--1-30-07: Super Bowl XLI Special

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 08:49:00 GMT

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!

The Crazy Tom Show--1-23-07

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Wed, 24 Jan 2007 10:15:00 GMT

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!

The Crazy Tom Show--1-16-07

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 13:09:00 GMT

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.

The Crazy Tom Show--1-9-07

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 04:29:00 GMT

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!

The Crazy Tom Show--1-2-07

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Thu, 4 Jan 2007 01:21:00 GMT

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!

The Crazy Tom Show--12-19-06

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Wed, 20 Dec 2006 13:28:00 GMT

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.

The Crazy Tom Show--12-12-06

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Wed, 13 Dec 2006 13:10:00 GMT

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!

The Crazy Tom Show--11-28-06

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Wed, 29 Nov 2006 13:19:00 GMT

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!

The Crazy Tom Show--11-21-06

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Wed, 22 Nov 2006 07:55:00 GMT

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.

The Crazy Tom Show--11-16-06

DJKrayzTom@comcast.net — Fri, 17 Nov 2006 13:48:00 GMT

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.
