For CBS Radio, Tom called three Super Bowls and nine Cotton Bowls.

    This book contains great advice for budding sportscasters and good career tips for those trying to make it up the ladder. The name dropping is great but it would be better if there were a few more recent sportscasters. Well worth the read! I enjoyed it and found lots I can use for my career.
