Re: Ron Cameron
With Ron's propensity to exaggerate, if not outright lie, I'm dubious about his "one week" in Hawaii with Gabe Kapler.
Re: Ron Cameron
Scintillating radio. Alex, next time suggest some hot topics in the sporting world the two of you can discuss.
Re: Ron Cameron
Ron's got more "big fans" than Carters got pills. Or Colgate has issues, for the youngsters.
Re: Ron Cameron
Ever the Avila toady, Ron's now asking for two more years to judge the rebuild.

Re: Ron Cameron
Superfan
The monthly story idea meeting at Marvel Studios came to order. First up was Jason Takito, with an idea for a new Marvel Comics movie hero.
"A young boy growing up poor in Detroit in the 1940s and 1950s, whose only escape from his scrappy, downtrodden existence is sports. At night, he dreams himself to sleep with Walter Mitty-type fantasies of hitting the game-winning home run for the Detroit Tigers at Briggs Stadium or scoring an overtime goal for the Detroit Red Wings at Olympia Stadium.
"As a young man, he bounces from job to job in downtown Detroit, including a night clerk job in a sleazy hotel. We could spice up this origin story part of the movie with noir-ish images of night-time Detroit in the 1960s.
"Like all super heroes, he develops a keen sense of right and wrong, which he tries to channel into a failed career as a baseball umpire.
"Then he finds his true niche as a sports talk radio host, and even creates a super hero-type identity for himself as "Superfan," complete with an ill-fitting outfit that draws jeers of ridicule but much publicity for his show.
"Then a time-lapse section, where he struggles as an independent entrepreneur. Here we show a montage of short scenes of the main character constantly arguing with other people in different business settings, then finish with him in his mid-70s, laying on a motel bed, surrounded by piles of sports magazines, watching TV re-runs of Match Game '75, pondering the path of his life.
"During the TV commercial breaks, he thinks about the incredibly bad collection of pro sports teams in Detroit. He wishes he could save Detroit area sports fans from all of this losing, like Superman saving Lois Lane from a burning building.
"He then falls asleep, followed by a dream sequence in which he re-invigorates his Superfan persona from the late 70s and leads each of these pro sports teams to a championship. For each team, he's a big part of the winning play, with a comic absurdity similar to Rodney Dangerfield's high dive at the end of Back to School."

Re: Ron Cameron
Bobbert, thanks for not mentioning the soiled tissues amongst the piles of sports mags.
Re: Ron Cameron
Re: Ron Cameron
Well, that's probably their payback since I'm sure he stiffs the maids (and not in the good way) on tipping.
Re: Ron Cameron
Ron’s has blamed the maid(s) for throwing out the papers with the would-be guests’s phone numbers only because he can’t claim his non-existent dog ate them.
Re: Ron Cameron
Makes me think of a couple of songs...
Phil Collins
Ronnie, Ronnie don't you lose that number
'Cause you won't have a guest, if you can't find it.
Steely Dan
Ronnie, don't lose that number
You don't wanna end up with no guest
Re: Ron Cameron
Jake Rogers' mustache has been getting a lot of attention. Wonder what his biggest fan (Ron Cameron) thinks about it?
Re: Ron Cameron
There’s a lot of competition, but one of the dumbest things the bootlicking Ron has ever said was that his boy Avila’s Verlander trade would be judged a success because Rogers will still be playing long after the 12-years older Verlander has retired.
