On a related note, I heard Ron asking this past week’s guest Ray Scott if his book(s) could be purchased at “Borders”?!?!

I think I may now know what lured Ron to the Bloomfield Hills Library. There's a (working) pay phone outside its doors.

Wow, the meeting of a couple of relics of the past

have any of you actually touched Ron? I hear you get a jolt like hooking a car battery up to your nipples

I can’t specifically remember if I did, but I’m gonna guess that I shook his hand when I went to talk to him about selling adds for Sports Fans Journal back in about 1986-7.

Momo knows first hand - he just saw him at the library and that was enough to make his pants messy.

More likely on the back side and not the front?

I would like to add my best holiday wishes to this fine community or cult or whatever we are. This is one of my favorite places on this whole wide interweb. And a special thanks to the man himself, Ron, for providing the glue that holds it all together.

Matt I am so glad to,see that you are still posting here.I was afraid that you might have been,scared off.I really want to see this thread grow and grow.I would consider it a personal favour if you posted often.Don't worry about being clever or funny.I know this is difficult for you.It doesn't matt...

We know Ron accesses the internet at libraries, but I sure didn't expect to see him at the Bloomfield Hills library. And as I tend to head out there on Saturdays, I may well be seeing him again, prompting him to sic his army of attorneys on me to get a PPO. Oh please. With your adoration of Ron Cam...

OMG!!! A Christmas miracle!!! Stop the presses!!! Earlier today, I encountered our hero, live in the wild, at the Bloomfield Hills Library. As I canvassed the library for missing newspapers, my search ended when I saw, at a computer, a headphones-donning man surrounded by a stack of newspapers. As ...

Even at this early hour, I can feel the excitement building for the return of SportsTalk to the airwaves… Yeah, the hamster wheel will be booming out the five watt matchstick signal out for a couple of square blocks. Ratings should be through the roof today. All of the media outlets are probably se...

Hosting a one hour daily show in a crappy time slot that is out of format to boot is not exactly a recipe for job security. I hope 97.1 hires Sean. He can backfill Jim Costa's prior time slots. He could also replace Spartard afternoons and no tears will be shed. A Valenti - Baligian pairing would p...

Good article:

(A great reminder, too, of how badly iFart mismanaged WDFN.)

Paywalled!

As a child in the fifties and sixties it started with WXYZ: Fred Wolf in the Wandering Wigloo started the day, followed by the Don McNeal Breakfast Club out of Chicago, then Joel Sebastion in the afternoon and then Lee Allen “on the horn” in the evening. That changed, basically overnight, on Hallowe...

The last thing any of us wanna hear after he’s been off for an extended hiatus is Ron signing on for the first time, half-asleep, yawns, burping, complaining about everything from the studio chair to the world outside the studio window. As opposed to some other offering from Scoop?! Yeah, that desc...

I doubt this news about a possible Lions/Suh reunion has yet reached Ron (did the firing of his Hawaiian buddy Gabe Kapler ever get to his desk?), but if so, you know Ron's gotta be champing at the bit to get back to go after one of his old hobbyhorses. https://www.freep.com/story/sports/nfl/lions/...

I know this is a "sports [thread]," but I saw this article about the Golden Bachelor, who's identified as a “retired restaurateur,” & my thoughts turned to Ron, who could also be described as such. Ron as the next Golden Bachelor? What sayeth Ron Cameron Nation? https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv...
