It is definitely the end of an era, though it doesn’t feel like we’ve heard anywhere NEAR the last of Stoney. I still remember working in a restaurant where Rona Danziger passed me a business card letting me know she was involved with an upstart station here in Detroit that was gonna be all sports t...

I listened to most of the show live today. Lance is always a good guest, it seems like he knows what’s coming with an hour w/Scoop. Did laugh when Scoop was referencing the Weaver Bros., Jeff & Jared, and referred to one as “the one who was on cocaine”!!!???

I was wondering about that as well and turned on the rewind. Around 6:04 he mentioned that Friday is his last day.

Thanks for that info.

I remember when Mike Stone announced he was “retiring” from the daily grind of radio, the date was “after the Super Bowl”…so now it’s effectively after the Lions-less Super Bowl, is there an official 97.1 morning show retirement date set for Stoney?

It’s been a while, anyone know if Joe Gagnon is back on the air somewhere/anywhere?!

During one of the last callers, I think I heard Ron, the old pro, actually use the “cough button”, as he was getting ready to launch into a guttural yack. I think he’s catching onto this radio thing.

No lions talk with Paul, but laker talk by Ron That was great, Ron forbade Lions talk with Paul Woods and Mr. P., which was a story that crossed over into the other teams in town and spread to people who’d long ago given up on the Lions or never cared about them, then hijacks the discussion for riv...

Ron back in the weed/Vape/CBD advertiser game!!!

Read in today’s Detroit News that one of Ron’s past advertisers “Crave Hot Dogs & BBQ” in Canton is closed after opening in January 2023. Obviously, the reach of SportsTalk didn’t capture enough of the general public. “This place is really something, you gotta go here…” It was always dead when I we...

“Substitute” tearing up the speakers right now! Could we have another no-show from Scoop today?!?!

Ah is I am reviewing todays show….i read it’s a rebroadcast, seems like a live show lol

Some of the names may change, but Ron's shows, whether they be live, from last week or last year, have a timeless quality.

It literally is Time Machine Radio, time stands still or repeats itself…

'Tim Matheson was in all those big movies ... with Belushi.' I just don't see Ron being an Animal House fan. I do love Ron incredulously telling the story of all those “Hollywood People” doing cocaine…in the immortal phrasing of Ron: “Reeeeaaaallly?!?!” Not sure if Scoop noticed, blow was everywher...

Hi everyone, Aaron here. Ron and Martin messaged me about 10 minutes before his show telling me he's not coming in. Today's show is a rebroadcast from last week.

Thanks for the update, Aaron.

No one wants to work anymore ... including Ron. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Now, this is a classic! Though I’m sure Scoop feels the same way about birthdays as he does about holidays and anything else people may celebrate with family, friends and loved ones, I’m shocked he’s not working today.
