Reports have Jack Flaherty returning to the Tigers. It's a two-year deal worth $35 million. Good move. It will help the team move away from the opener strategy, which was more of an improvisation than a long-term strategy. The relievers said all the right things in public, but I'm sure they would ...

A good game by the Red Wings last night on Hockey Night in Canada, as they won against the (as Sid would say) cal-GARRY Flames.

I ended up getting an Audio-Technica turntable that greatly improved the sound.

Later on I'll probably get some speakers to enhance the sound some more. The bass sound of the Crosley speakers isn't very strong.

Thanks for all of the advice.

In the pre game show on 97.1 last night as the wings playing one of Rons favorite teams the Edmonton Oilers, the topic of debate was Gretzky or Howe, which was always a spirited debate for Ron Which would usually veer off into a personal story about one of their wives (Janet Gretzky on smoking or ...

On what would have been Ron's 80th birthday, here are parodies of the theme songs of the Paul Henning trilogy of rural TV comedy shows from the 1960s. (Beverly Hillbillies) Come and listen to a story 'Bout a man named Ron A poor Detroit boy, Had some trouble gettin' on. And then one day While he's ...

According to the Detroit Free Press, and other media outlets, the Lions have a new offensive coordinator, John Morton, who was here in 2022.

Interestingly, there's nothing on the Detroit News website yet, as of 5:50 p.m. Tuesday.

I just saw this (don't look at Buzzboard very often anymore). Lots of memories of the State Theater including Jon and Heidi's wedding on stage, and an unbearable concert by Bob Dylan. I hope they can keep it going. The only way it will keep going is if someone buys the theater. That's how a lot of ...

Eagles and Chiefs. I’m going to barf. I hate the Eagles slightly less so if I have to choose one to win, it’s them. Have no trouble rooting for the Eagles. They are a year or two ahead of the Lions on a long journey to a Super Bowl win, so if they win, it will give me more hope for the Lions on the ...

Among the recent Freep Lion stories is this gem:

"3D-printed Battle Droid by Scott Eatmon has Detroit Lions sayings"

That's Garth making the unique sounds on the keyboard. He also gets a few closeups.

Separated at birth:

The Football Gods clearly hate the state of Michigan. First, the Lions get upset at home and start a new playoff losing streak. Then, the team from Ohio wins the natty. 🤮🤮 Did Ryan Day thank UM in his postgame speech? Without that loss, Ohio State probably doesn't have the fire in the belly to win t ...

Thanks. I'd like to think that Ron's sales technique was a composite of Milburn Drysdale, Uncle Joe, and Mr. Haney.

Thanks. One of the fun things about doing these parodies is the wealth of source material and scenarios and ways of looking at things.
