Ron Cameron

[uncleb67]

I listened to most of the show live today. Lance is always a good guest, it seems like he knows what’s coming with an hour w/Scoop. Did laugh when Scoop was referencing the Weaver Bros., Jeff & Jared, and referred to one as “the one who was on cocaine”!!!???

Ron thinks everybody in Detroit is an alcoholic.

One of my favorite Ron moments is when he was talking about hanging out in the centerfield bleachers at Tiger Stadium with "every drunk in Detroit."

My God, I finally learned how to post another person's quote, must be the payback for fluffing on listening to Ron in real time! "This" is the best way to take the show in, regardless.

I remember Steve Howe blaming his alcoholic episodes on the assertion that "everyone in Michigan drinks too much." I don't mean to disparage a damaged soul, but Bob Welch became a heralded figure for being honest about his addiction or affliction.

It looks OK here—strange.

Interesting coincidence how both players had the same names as guitarists of British rock bands of the 1970s.

Tread carefully, Lance, with that praise for Scott Harris.

So it was confirmed that Lance and Scott finally met?

No mention of an actual meeting ... or any other direct contact.

If they ever meet, it will take its place among the great meetings of history.

If I had to guess, I would say that RC is watching the NBA All Star Game on a Jumbotron, wondering why Killian Hayes is not starting.

Or he may have been stewing about Tyrese Halliburton saying he felt like a "prom king" due to his starting role with the Eastern Conference team. I betcha a case of Goebel that Ron was never in a tux with someone at the mic in high school, announcing that he was due that kind of adulation.

In a case of irony overdosing, Ron, the man who singlehandedly saved Catholic League baseball, never went to high school.

Aaaah...Goebel.

Or he may have been thinking about all the All-Star players who he feels the Pistons should have picked:

• Devin Booker instead of Stanley Johnson (2015)

• Donovan Mitchell instead of Luke Kennard (2017)

• Tyrese Haliburton instead of Killian Hayes (2020)

• Scottie Barnes instead of Cade Cunningham (2022)

[Bobbert]

Aaaah...Goebel.

I went on to Newspapers.com to see if I could find something related to the Detroit Tigers and Goebel beer in the 1950s that would take us back to Ron's youthful years as a Tigers fan. I found something so bizarre that I had share it with you.

One of the bummers of Ron not having a second show on the weekend is the lack of play by play he provides during games

NBA all star game play by play would have been one to listen to. Who can forget his superbowl shows from years past

[MWmetalhead]

The NBA all star game is a nighttime affair now.

This may have been who bought the no-longer-extant WFVR in Florida (apparently Ron is not the only Cameron involved in broadcasting): https://cameronbroadcasting.com

Riger was talking about Haliburton and Hayes earlier today. Of course the first thing I thought of was our hero.
