I just want to thank everyone who called in or tweeted their support for me as a potential new protege for Tom. Tom touting me as a possible protege of his is a true honor. Just mere weeks ago, I was a small-town (Philadelphia) kid who had a podcast he made where he kinda talked about basketball with a good friend of his. It's pretty awesome that Tom is one of the 55 people who listen to our podcast and that he enjoys it enough to mention me on the air.
I very much would like to be Tom's protege. I think I have the necessary enthusiasm and fire that Tom wants for this role.
I just want to say that I have no personal animosity against The H-Man or Wally Wackiman. They've been welcomed into the homes of the millions of Best Show listeners around the globe for years. But this is a role that I never dreamed that I could have until Tom threw my name out there as a possibility. It's something that I want.
I will bare no grudge if The H-Man or an unknown entity (human, puppet or otherwise) earns the title of protege. But I will say that whoever earns this title is in for one hell of a fight. Because you can't fight this fire, daddy!
Also, I loved the discussion of the Northern Canadian Football League and am contemplating a podcast about this league.
