The passing of Blue Bomber legend Ken Ploen on Tuesday stirred memories of a hero of yesteryear and the glory days of Winnipeg professional football led by the Iowa native under coach Bud Grant. As a star at quarterback and defensive back in 4 Bomber victories, and a solid ambassador for the city the rest of his life, he was part of our lives and a source of pride. Families spoke of his time at Bomber QB as over 20 years passed by without a Grey Cup and heard him on CJOB radio; and thus the legend was passed down through generations of Winnipeg kids. In Part 1 of this special episode, Marty Gold describes Ploen's career, leadership, statistics that still rank high on all-time lists, and a couple of surprise career anomalies. (Also mentioned among the Hall of Fame teammates of the era is fullback/placekicker Gerry James, who was an integral part of Ploen's early success in the CFL. You'll hear of a Wikipedia glitch about James that someone perhaps can correct) 18.20 Part 2 - Marty tells a personal story about Kenny Ploen and a Grey Cup event in 1998 at the Winnipeg Press Club. We have exclusive audio of Kenny speaking and with honouree Angelo Mosca! Hear the story behind how the event came to happen, other Winnipeggers who took part, and how Ploen became part of it. It was one of the proudest accomplishments of Marty Gold's career, bringing together the man in the Blue and Gold his dad loved to cheer with the 'Big Nasty' Tiger-Cat lineman he loved to boo. ********** ALL EPISODES OF THE TGCTS PODCASTS ARE AVAILABLE AT ACTIONLINE.CA To send in story tips, sponsor podcasts, or donate towards our expenses by Interac: Email -- martygoldlive@gmail.com JOIN OUR FACEBOOK GROUP https://www.facebook.com/groups/TGCTS

Is it ok for a woman to cry in public? What about a man? What about an NBA player on the bench before a playoff game? According to former player Charles Barkley, it's "not a good look" — even if the player's sister was just killed in a car crash. On today's show we're talking about this and other recent episodes of public figures attempting to police behavior based on gender. Joining us to talk through it is Explore Kentucky founder Gerry James.
Summer is in full swing, and it's the time of year when most of us head outside to enjoy the fresh air. Maybe you take to the hiking trail with just what you can carry on your back. Or maybe your idea of being outdoorsy is having drinks on a patio. (We'll let you figure out which option #TeamStrangeFruit favors.) If you're a person of color, especially a black person, data shows you're less likely to participate in traditional outdoor activities. NPR's Code Switch talked about it recently in their podcast, noting the National Parks Service's statistic that around 80% of its visitors, volunteers and staff last year were white. 12045552_10205580003002972_7170443638992725955_oExplore Kentucky We decided to see what the situation looks like closer to home. So we spoke with Gerry James, founder and director of the Explore Kentucky initiative. He says it's not unusual for him to be the only black camper, hiker, or paddle boarder in his group — and people notice. He's heard everything from, "Hey, it's great to see you out here, brother!" to "Get out of the water, you can't swim," accompanied by racial slurs. So his work with Explore Kentucky encourages everyone to enjoy our state's beautiful scenery. They offer classes, workshops, and donation-based activities to all interested parties, regardless of income level or experience. We talked about some of the factors that might prevent people of color from engaging more with nature, including the fact that public parks and pools were tightly segregated under Jim Crow laws. We also promised Gerry to be more open to the idea of spending time outside (not counting patios), and he even has us ready to try out his favorite sport: the ancient Hawaiian practice of stand-up paddle boarding. In our Juicy Fruit segment, we talk about Melania Trump's speech at the Republican National Convention, and how Dr. Story plans to use it to teach her university students about plagiarism.
On this episode of Next on the Tee with Chris Mascaro, my guests were: 2 time World Long Driving Champion and participant on the Golf Channels Big Break 8 Gerry James and LPGA Top 50 Instructor and founder of Golf Positive Debbie O'Connell. I talked with them about: Gerry James - I talked with Gerry about the mechanics of the golf swing so we can generate more power for longer drives. We also talked about his bodybuilding career and Mr. California title back in 1990. He shared his experience competing on The Golf Channel's Big Break 8 plus he shared fitness tips to help us keep our bodies from breaking down. Debbie O'Connell - Debbie is not only a great swing instructor, she's also a great mental coach. She shared advice she'd give Jordan Spieth following his collapse at the Masters. When our minds get cluttered with negative thoughts what can we do to slow down and recover? What would she tell Jordan to do the next time he finds himself in a similar situation so those negative thoughts don't creep back in? She shared her mental coaches tips plus a couple of tips on how to improve our short games. Join Chris Mascaro every Saturday at 10:00 AM Eastern Time as he talks with PGA & LPGA Tour legends, today's players, equipment manufacturers, top instructors, media members and all those impacting the great game of golf on Next on the Tee.
