What an incredible amount of money. Does he really need it? How much will it add to ticket prices? Those are just questions that come to mind first, the older I get. But it's the result of a market-based, supply/demand economy, so if it's O.K. with the people paying for it (Lions owners, ticketholde...

His Night Music show from about 1990 was one of the coolest music shows ever. He had musicians from different genres, and sometimes they played together at the end of the show.

Here's a sample episode:

What, no TORK REPORT?

We'll have to put the analytics boys on this one, comparing the exit velocity, launch rate, humidity, temperature, stadium noise level, concession sales, and fan wi-fi usage at the time of his two home runs compared to all of his other at-bats.

We're at the 40-game mark that Sparky Anderson made famous (https://www.blessyouboys.com/2010/5/22/1483272/what-can-we-tell-about-the-tigers). How well has the 40-game mark predicted the season in the A.J. Hinch era: 2021: 14-26 (.350) + 63-59 = 77-85 (.475) 2022: 14-26 (.350) + 52-70 = 66-96 (.407)...

One year ago today, Ron made his triumphant return to WPON, after wandering in the wilderness for about two weeks (https://mibuzzboard.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=49112&start=16230#p739802). This latest gig at this classic oldies station proved for the last time that Ron could survive any kind of...

Seven innings of a two-hit, eight strikeouts, shutout by 41-year old Justin Verlander against a Jake Rogers-less Tigers. Yes, one of these years that 2017 deadline trade will make the now short-order cook, Al Avila, & his fanboy Ron, look good. Jake has been hitting well lately. But Scott Harris' l...

On Friday night on 97.1, two extremely emotional extroverts talked with each other: Mr. Positive and Marc Ryan Mr. Positive lavished praise on Marc for his upbeat style, leading to Marc asking Mr. P. to be his agent. After the call, Marc repeated Mr. P.'s mantra about "going for your dreams." What'...

What a miserable game.

Blowing a late lead at home to a team that came in 11 games below .500.

And appearing in truly ugly uniforms.

"You keep pouring joy into it, and it gets better and better."

Nice words.

Great show. Probably the best AARD show I've ever heard. But it has to be, because it's the first one I've ever heard from beginning to end.

These informal, personal recorded ads bring back memories of Ron's 80s and 90s shows, when he had similar ads.

Great to see Ron making a guest "appearance" on the last AARD show.

And thanks to you guys for your tribute shows to Ron.

I just requested The Passenger by Iggy Pop.

Ole'!

Saw Iggy at the Royal Oak Music Theater around 1980. Nearly freaked out when he played "Lust for Life".

You guys should get a job with Weigel Broadcasting, with their manically humorous shows—Svengoolie, Toon In Me, Sventoonie.
