Ron asks Alex a question, then talks over him before he can answer.

Alex, thanks for holding Ron accountable for his obvious anti U-M bias. Between the 10 dinners owed to Ron from JH and Bo firing his buddy Ernie, this just screams thru the radio. I find it funny with Ron hurling personal insults about how JH talks, like Ron is perfect. Your about the only person that can do that without Ron throwing a tantrum. Good show

Hey Alex who do you think the lions should hold on to of there own free agents?
He must've not known who was a free agent by that answer.
Thanks again! I was thinking more insight would come from you. Wanted to mix it up then his usual

I kept wondering if Alex would correct Ron about the date of the Super Bowl, which Ron kept saying was next week. It's 2/12. So Ron will probably call Ray Scott in two weeks, and then find out the real date of the Super Bowl.

Alex, do you ever get a chance to listen to the shows from '17 that Bobbert posts here?
I do sometimes. I think Ron needs to stay on topic more often on the shows he does now.
Did you set up the interviews back then? I've been impressed with the variety of people you had on. Those interviews have some historical value now, because many of the people have died.

If i recall correctly Ron did the same thing last year.He still does not know the Super Bowl is 2 weeks after the conference championships.

So you’re saying there’s a chance that Ray Scott might be on next Sunday?

Suggest not book. I'd try and get him to think of the time of year, current events, etc.

I did feel like back in the Alex Alway era of SportsTalk the podcasts were updated in a more timely manner, instead of today’s “not at all”!

Ron volunteers the Catholic League story. I suspect Ron's been dining off this tale for many decades now.

To Ron's obvious delight, Ron & his guest were each able to break the news of a death to the other. Ron, Putsy Caballero, along with Bob Miller & Curt Simmons, the last surviving Phillies from the '50 NL-winning team; Bob, Norm Swanson, a mid-century U-D basketball star. Ron seemed to be shocked at the very idea that Swanson, an octogenarian he saw a mere two years ago at Miller's home, could’ve died.

Swanson's obituary includes lots of photos, including one with Gordie Howe. I don't know if Bob Miller is pictured. Ron is not.

In a fitting coda to the Avila era, Keith Law, in The Athletic, ranks the Tigers dead last, #30, in his ranking of the major-league teams’ farm systems:

"The new regime in Detroit faces a big challenge here, as very little has gone right for the Tigers’ farm system in recent years. From the 2016 through 2021 drafts, their top three picks by WAR to date are Tarik Skubal, Casey Mize … and John Schreiber, signed for $6,000 in the 15th round. Their international free-agent classes have been totally unproductive. And we haven’t seen many players get better once in the system over the last decade, whether they come in as reasonably polished players or not. Matt Manning might be the one big exception to that, as the Tigers did help him with his delivery when he had trouble throwing strikes, but he’s the outlier. There is still a decent bit of underdeveloped talent just lying around here, with the new player development group only in place for about a year, and there will be a lot of high draft picks to come. It’s lean times ahead in Detroit, unfortunately."

Try to spin this, Ron.

The NBA Referees Union apologized for a missed call on LeBron James. I wonder if Mr. Positive will bring that up with Ron this weekend?
