I was trying to remember what Ron might have said about all the O.J. Simpson business in the mid-90's. All I can remember is that one day he started calling people on both sides of the case "scum". "O.J. Simpson is scum, Mark Fuhrman is scum, Johnnie Cochran is scum..." In that same general convers...

Nice game against the Twins for different reasons. The Twins are the defending division champs. We're catching them at a good time, when they are one of the worst-hitting teams in the majors. Also nice to see a dominant performance. Making those a habit gives them more of a margin for error when the...

Ron's adopted son Jake Rogers is off to a slow start, hitting only .130 after 7 games. Maybe it's time for a remake of Angels in the Outfield . The Celestial Ron promises to help Jake with his hitting, if Jake gets the Tigers to stop that stupid home run celebration with the impaled pizzas. Or maybe...

I had a wonderful Friday Night Happy Hour in Beaver Creek with a bunch of co-workers in 1994 watching the slow chase. It was a great time. I was in the CP bleachers at Tiger stadium watching via the CF camerman's B&W monitor.... surreal I was at Tiger Stadium that night too. I remember the radio br...

There was a story in Rolling Stone in the 1970s about O.J. and some other people visiting a prison. Before they went in, someone told O.J., "Whatever you do, don't say 'What's happenin'?' "

So of course the first thing O.J. does when he sees a prisoner is say "What's happenin'?"

Alan Longstreet used to call Ann Arbor "Uh Narbor," but I think he's gotten over it.

And become a favorite background for 313 rap videos.

Why not? Paul McCartney used the Uniroyal tire as a backdrop for a music video.

I've been using Uncle Charley on My Three Sons to fill in the void left by Ron's departure. As wonderfully played by the crusty old William Demarest, his blunt, goofy comments often crack me up. This morning, Charley was watching Fred MacMurray try to teach his fiance Beverly Garland how to golf, a...

Scott Harris gave an interview yesterday that's been getting a lot of play on 97.1, with mostly negative reactions from the hosts. I'm impressed with the way he thinks things through, but he often has a detached, theoretical view of things. At some point, his well-publicized "process" is going to be...

At least there are more eyes on this stuff now thanks to the WSJ story.

Don't complain too much. It gives people an excuse to do things like this:

I also fine the younger staff overuses the word awesome. "Surreal" has become another favored word, used by all ages. I don't recall hearing it much at all until this century, when it exploded in popularity. I've never used the word myself. I think the word "surreal" really exploded in popularity a...

Scales was a journeyman infielder, mainly a minor leager. Dirks is far better both as a broadcaster and former player, and would have had a decent career (not All-Star) if not for injuries. Whatever happened to the belt Craig Monroe stole? I think most people would prefer Dirks, but his real estate...
