“Telephone Line” from ELO on the AA and the Revolving Door Show…kinda timely and reminds us of when Ron would be getting the “ghost” from somebody or Denny.

A couple of nice tributes: https://twitter.com/IffyTheDopester/status/1760837836708954483 https://twitter.com/SeanPBali/status/1760856288571891812 If anyone knows the transient world of sports radio, the downs and ups and the hard work it takes, it’s Sean Baligian. I see him around town quite often...

Did I miss something.I thought it was going to be a tribute show.Martin is just playing songs

Next week, if he gets Sima’s blessing.

All these songs remind me of SportsTalk, seriously. All the days Ron would be late, last minute no-show, weather related, car issues…and of course, road construction and people who don’t wanna work.

“Tennessee Waltz” at exactly 11am, maybe?

Bob Page, long disparaged by Ron, is waxing very respectful of memories of Ron over on Page’s Twitter account. Sounds like he’s acknowledging the good, the bad, and everything in between.

Tyrese Haliburton put up 25 on the Pistons tonight. Ron seeing that.

I feel we’ve all had losses these last few years that seemed to come outta nowhere. I mean, less than a week ago, I thought Ron sounded better than he had in a long time.

Wow, the end of an era. As critical as we all could be of Ron, (for good reasons), there was something comforting and reassuring of him being on the radio forever. I personally thought he sounded a little more energized and “with-it” these last few shows. I guess ya never know.

Why don't you contact him and ask? https://askjoegagnon.com/

Thanks for that, though I sent a note to Joe through that page a while ago and never heard back?!?!

I enjoyed listening to him, as a listener from the DFN days, never took himself serious. While it was a different show then the heyday with wojo for a morning show I thought it was good I always did enjoy the fact Stoney didn’t take himself too seriously, and he also was like so many of us that nav...

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?
