Emailer Brian has lit the fuse with Ron on the diss of Fanboy's favorite player Jake Rogers.

It's always an honor to meet the legend that is Scoop Cameron.

At least he didn't impersonate Chris Ilitch's kid.

Fitting summary of the show from Ron when he thought he couldn't be heard: "This is crap."

Yeah I think that phone call he received just threw him off and never recovered.

Until next week

I know plenty of people had an idea these three-hour marathon shows were gonna be a slog and it seems like they certainly have been…for Ron, his producer and what’s left of listeners/callers.

I was browsing the Detroit Free Press archives on Newspapers.com and found an ad that made me laugh out loud. Just imagine, partying with Ron Cameron and Sonny Eliot on a Caribbean cruise.

HOLLAND AMERICA SPORT PERSONALITY CRUISE
Jan. 30 - Feb. 6, 1988
Western Caribbean
  • Darrell Evans
  • Bob Feller
  • Bill Lajoie
  • Jim Northrup
  • Mark Fidrych
  • Ron Cameron
  • Sonny Eliot
Ron was at the peak of his powers then, with a daily radio show, TV show with Bob Page, and the Sports Fans Journal magazine.

Oh, if only I could invent a time machine & travel back, I'd contact my travel agent to get on board! If this cruise ever materialized, it's a wonder Ron has never mentioned it. Although it would explain his commitment to the overarching greatness of Bob Feller (even though his greatest years were before Ron's time), Mr. Positive - or emailer Dan - needs to ask about this. Did Ron still have a (non-brokered) radio show back then?

He was in the middle of his long 1980s stretch with WCAR. He started hustling ads after he got fired by WXYZ in 1981.

Also in 1988, he found the time for this:

Sports Phone Extra 1-976-2525. Weekday features: Ron Cameron, noon-1 p.m. and 3-4 p.m.; Greg Kelser 2-3 p.m. and 7-8:30 p.m; Dave Schwartz 1-2 p.m.; Pete Sark Tigers reports after each Grapefruit League game. Each call 50 cents.

Which work - if non-brokered - puts a lie to his claim that, by choice, he never worked for anyone after his WXYZ firing.
