I’m not gonna lie, in those dark days of 2020, as Ron got back up and running and on the air after the “Cova” took over the world, I used to listen to his Sunday show all the time as I ran up the miles on my bicycle out on Hines Dr. It was a weird world out there, and SportsTalk was a decent soundtr...

Brian lauding the Buzzboard. To deafening silence.

Hey, I tried! In my book, the Buzzboard brought Ron far more relevance in these last couple years than he had in the last decade or so!

Ron didn't show up for work, so then Martin put up the tweet? Did I hear that right? The tweet went up on Thursday, the day before his show was to air.

I feel like Martin was kind of implying he didn’t wanna believe it until he didn’t show up on Friday.

Caller #6: Carl, making reference to the Buzzboard.

Is Carl from Northville?

Perhaps Wayne Gretzky will call in?

Or Glen Sather?

Ron the first person with a “boom box”!!!???

It should only be fitting that today it was announced the Pizza Cat Max location in downtown Detroit, a former advertiser on SportsTalk, is closing down. We all know “it (was) quite a place, you really gotta go there”…but not enough to dent that rent down there!

Kinda funny, I have a few random alerts set on my phone that were used through the years to remind me to listen to SportsTalk, never deleted most of them but due to Ron’s transient nature, they seem to pop at different times on the weekend!

I know we're all familiar with Ron's nomadic lifestyle, living in motels and all for most of his adult life. But I don't remember any mention of any remaining family or relatives in his life. Does anyone know if there was anyone at all there for him at the end? Sad to think that he was really a "on...

With the passing of Ron the longest running thread on the buzzboard will soon (sadly) be coming to an end.I believe after the tribute show it would only be fitting if Bobbert and Momo have the last two posts.The thread should then be locked.

Agreed.

Y’all did a great job. I feel a lot of us needed this show today to laugh and remember. Definitely the end of an era. All these other sports talkers in this town are BORING.

Thanks for playing Ron's favorite, Patti Page!

This song ALWAYS remind me of Ron signing on…
