    Tom is new to this and I expect him to get better, but man he was really unprepared coming into this and it looked BAD.

    I was hopeful Tom would jump into this role and excel, because ex-players have viewpoints that many of us don't have.

    But from what I'm reading about Tom's radio skills second-hand, it sounds like a disaster.

    OC and Hackett are impossible to listen to.

    It's a combination of mediocre talent with an unproven newbie of questionable talent. I don't know what the bosses at ESPN700 were thinking.

    Tom is hilariously funny in small doses and when telling personal stories, but 3 hours a day is meh! Maybe he'll get better?
