Re: Ron Cameron
I've never been there either, but that picture definitely got my attention. I'll have to check it out (along with the new Dairy Queen that they just opened down the street from me on Five Mile).Dan in Northville wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 3:58 pmThat's a damn fine looking burger.................and it's right down the street from me. I'm gonna have to give it a try. Always wondered about that place.

Re: Ron Cameron
I went into an AI story generator (https://perchance.org/ai-story-generator), and entered "A story about Ron Cameron, a sports talk host in Detroit". Nothing else. The results were surprisingly close to a Buzzboard parody.
On a chilly night in downtown Detroit, the neon lights of the city danced across the walls of the abandoned warehouse. The sound of distant sirens echoed through the empty streets, their wails piercing the silence like the cries of a lost soul. It was here, amidst the shadows and decay, that Ron Cameron found himself, his life reduced to little more than a shadow of its former self. Once a celebrated sports talk host in Detroit, Ron now huddled in the darkness, his breath fogging the air as he clutched a half-empty bottle of whiskey. The weight of his failures pressed down on him like a thousand tons of concrete, and with each passing minute, he felt himself slipping further into oblivion.
Re: Ron Cameron
We, too, can be replaced, Bobbert! Other than imagining a not much in evidence, self-reflective Ron, that's pretty amazing.
Re: Ron Cameron
In the last 24 hours, "Ron" has posted no fewer than four ads on X for his foot doctor.
Re: Ron Cameron
Yeah, I almost felt like retiring from parody writing after I saw that.
I've got a strange feeling that this thread was scanned before that story was written.
Re: Ron Cameron
I just had to try one more. I entered "Detroit sports talk host Ron Cameron sues Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh for ten dinners that Cameron claims he bought Harbaugh in the 1980s."
Detroit sports talk host Ron Cameron was notorious for his acerbic wit and unapologetic opinions. But even his most ardent fans were caught off guard when he announced plans to sue Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh in a live broadcast. Cameron claimed that during his days as a struggling college quarterback at the University of Michigan in the 1980s, Harbaugh had accepted ten dinners from him. Cameron insisted that these meals were not acts of kindness or friendship, but rather business transactions, and as such, Harbaugh owed him $10,000 for each dinner, plus interest and legal fees. The sports world was abuzz with speculation about the case, which quickly became fodder for late-night talk shows and watercooler debates across the country.

Every interaction he has is a business transaction, which leaves the other party indebted in his eyes
Re: Ron Cameron
I did not listen to this latest program. Met a long time friend for lunch and laughs at Duggan’s, so I missed the show. I am wondering what Ron’s take on the Lions was as far as the buzz that I am sure most of us can feel about this game. In my eyes, I don’t think this town has ever been this excited for any sporting event except maybe the 68 Tigers in the World Series. I can picture the old curmudgeon not sensing the high that seems to be building by the minute. Did he show any excitement about it?
Re: Ron Cameron
He kept talking about the outcome of the game depending on whether a certain player plays. I don't remember him naming the player, but I'm guessing it was San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel.Majik wrote: ↑Sat Jan 27, 2024 7:02 pmI did not listen to this latest program.

Re: Ron Cameron
Talk about qualities not much in evidence. AI lost me here describing the utterly witless Ron's "acerbic wit." I knew Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker was a friend of mine.

Re: Ron Cameron
As he dismissively - hopefully - said "don't go there" earlier in the season when a caller suggested the Lions might be Super Bowl-bound, Ron was able to tamp down any enthusiasm for the possibility.Majik wrote: ↑Sat Jan 27, 2024 7:02 pmI did not listen to this latest program.

In Ron's mind, this might be close to the truth. Just ask George Eichorn.Cameron insisted that these meals were not acts of kindness or friendship, but rather business transactions, and as such, Harbaugh owed him $10,000 for each dinner, plus interest and legal fees.
