Momo I am 67 yrs old..Ron is the only sports talk show that talks about sports when i was a kid.I listen to his show for the nostalgia.

[Momo]

Ok, thanks. So you listen for the guests & Ron's stories of yesteryear. And not so much for his take on the current sports scene.

[Kidcat]

Momo That is correct.I also listen for his blow ups and find his misinformation on current sports entertaining.

Alex,

Does Ron just drive around everyday stopping at random business' looking for sponsors? I can't imagine people reaching out to him.

Alex probably has a better insider take than I on a situation like this, though several years ago, Ron somehow found himself in and around the community where I live and work. He basically came out of nowhere and started badgering the owners of the business I worked for (who had NO IDEA who this Ron Cameron was/is, though I did!), looking to get them buy an ad on his show (not sure which station he was on at the time, though it was definitely low-watt). When they rebuffed him, he turned ugly, nasty, and even more boorish than what we all hear on the radio. Not the moves of a real “closer”!

Any idea on how much Ron charges

I don't know what he does, only that it varies by the length of ad. I do know that he does some trade for food, gas, etc. but not all trade. Also, he'll use the interview in studio as a free throw in for the big spenders.

As a younger guy, I always found Ron's older callers and stories entertaining until I heard them each 20 times. Now I can recite the story when he mentions the subject. I always have felt it was my job to fill in the gaps of analysis with the current sports scene, especially in areas Ron is not well versed in (college).

Alex, I don't know if you listened on Saturday but he had no clue who Anthony Lynn is. I think his current day NFL knowledge isn't the best either.

I did in bits and pieces, but missed that part. I will say giving NFL predictions a few weeks ago it seemed like I had to breakdown teams more than expected.

I'm completely fascinated by Ron

[1alexalway]

Just so the board knows, I will try to steer Ron away from his typical grievances on the show such as Blake Griffin. That's the hardest part!

Looking forward to it, Alex!

Alex, if you're talking about the Series, I once again request that you please correct Ron's incorrect correction (of Kurt) that the Rays' Willy Adames was not originally a member of the Tigers' organization. Still scratching my head that he would not know that Adames was a key part of the David Price trade.

[Momo]

We haven’t heard Ron rail against Bill Keenist in some time. That used to be a regular part of Ron’s arsenal.

[Momo]

Ron cannot vote but he’s hoping for a new president.

[Momo]

Ron’s again promising Mark Wilson, who’s “frustrated by this virus.” In the next 2-3 weeks.

[1alexalway]

I will bring that up Momo. Let's get some calls or emails from the board!
