Anybody remember this guy? He was awful, but still awfully entertaining. He used to do this game on Friday nights called "initial reaction". One guy would start off with a sports player's name like "Babe Ruth" and the next guy would have to say a name that begins with "R" like "Red Grange" and then it would go back and forth until somebody messed up. It was actually a pretty good game.

I thought it was hood who did that.

They might have both done that, but I was pretty positive Tommy Williams did it as well.

i think it was tommy since we never heard the game again after tommy got the boot / and where is he now?

I believe he's in Gary, Indiana both doing some radio work and the P.A. Announcer for some low-level basketball team. And of course I remember Tommy...many of us do, he's brought up frequently...he was the guy that I first listened to when getting into sports radio. And I don't think he was bad at all: He was unique, treated the callers well and just was overall entertaining....at least what I think anyway.

TDub was unlike any other Score host. I think he knew enough to hold his own for 4 or 5 hours. He was a lot different than North or the B+B crap.

Good guy overall, I wish him the best.

I agree. I thought he had an endearing quality to him. I'm sure guys like Boers and Bernstein and North did/do ridicule him all the time, and they're undoubtedly more successful, but Tommy Williams had too much class to act the way those clowns do.

I know respect doesn't pay the bills, but I respect Tommy. I don't respect the other clowns I mentioned.

I love it when you call him Big Pahrdner.
