This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I used to listed to Skip Macholz on the radio by Hanratty5ND

Skip partnered up with Domer George Blaha on Detroit radio back in the 80's.

Used to listen to them all the time on CKLW and Skip was a funny guy. Very good storyteller and had a riotous laugh. Blaha helped get him his start in radio. Those guys were entertaining to listen to even though I didn't live in the Detroit market. They talked enough ND to pique my interest at times.

I looked up Skip and was sad to read that he passed of cancer at the age of 60 in 2012.
