With the start of the Tigers season today, I wonder if radio broadcaster Dan Dickerson will pay his respects to the passing of one of his most attentive listeners—Ron Cameron.
(Notice that I didn't say "one of his biggest fans")

Re: Ron Cameron
A team struggling mid-season that then got hot, before overtaking Toronto’s daunting lead that last week. All culminating in that nail-biting shutout (1-0) by Frank Tanana the last game of the regular season to beat the Blue Jays & win the AL East. Yeah, not even the great letdown of losing to the ...

Re: Detroit Tigers 2024
The Tigers have finalized their pitching staff for the start of the season, with Alex Faedo and Joey Wentz getting the last two bullpen spots over Bo Brieske and Miguel Diaz. Here's how Baseball Reference projects the Tigers pitching staff for 2024, which I'm guessing is based mostly on past perform...

Re: Ron Cameron
The Sports View Today videos that I've watched have included several that relate to the 1987 Detroit Tigers season. That's my version of Ron's 1961 Tigers—my favorite Tigers team that didn't win the World Series. What a great summer, watching them fight it out with the Toronto Blue Jays up to the v...

Re: Ron Cameron
Actually (to use Alex's favorite word), the profits at the Fenton Hotel and the Southfield Ram's Horn might increase because of the bartered free meals that they don't have to serve to Ron anymore. This led me to think of a couple of other verbal tics from Ron's universe: “Yeah, I know” - Cowboy “I...

Re: Ron Cameron
Since Ron's death, I've watched several Sports View Today videos on YouTube. It's interesting to see the similarities between this thread and Bob Page's reactions to Ron—the jokes, the barbs, the factual corrections, the sarcasm. My favorite line is when Page says that the main reason he goes to a r...

Re: Detroit Tigers 2024
Matt Manning is being optioned to AAA Toledo to start the season. :shock: It must've been a helluva competition for that fifth spot in the rotation because I thought Manning looked pretty decent when I saw him. I thought it would be Mize but then he had a great start on Wednesday. Manning was proba...

Re: NCAA bracket
Wonder how soon Jack Gohlke becomes the model for a Marvel super hero, with that sharply edged hairline, nose, jaw and chin?

Re: Ron Cameron
After last night's big win by Oakland University, I wondered if Ron ever met or interviewed the coach Greg Kampe. It doesn't look like he did, from this post from two years ago.

Re: Ron Cameron
A snowy Friday morning like today reminds me of many past episodes of SportsTalk with Ron Cameron. The flakes are falling, the roads are a mess, and if, and I do mean IF, Ron would make it into the studio (even if a few minutes late), it was always easy for me to pour another cup of coffee and lay ...

Re: Ron Cameron
Ron's post-death history may form the basis for the long-imagined Ron Cameron: The Musical, a repository for the many satirical numbers this thread has spawned. When the composer David Yazbek approached his “Band’s Visit” collaborator David Cromer in 2019 about directing “Dead Outlaw,” a high-energ...

Re: Ron Cameron
While his burial disposition remained outstanding (&, for all we know, may still now), I wonder if Ron chalked it up to there not being anyone who wants to work anymore. Something about extended unemployment benefits. The fate of his corpse seems to be in the hands of government employees who, in m...

Re: Weather Boys
The demographic on this board is likely white men in their 50's, not the target audience for early morning news or the Nine. It isn't 1975 anymore. You can't just read the news and weather and give sports scores. The young people want to be entertained. They want fun, they want to connect personall...

Re: Weather Boys
Many people are already tuning out due to this crap. The problem is some of these people don't care that their antics are driving away news viewers. I saw it for the first time this morning. If you spend too much time watching it, your brain cells will start to die, which means that you will be muc...

Re: Ron Cameron
Picked up the baseball preview issue of USA Today Sports Weekly yesterday. I have to credit Ron with turning me on to that publication as a good source of weekly information about sports. Just wished he had made more use of it, instead of talking about the same topics over and over.
