Current Sports #535 | August 27, 2015

No No-No for Justin Verlander, Michigan State Depth Chart, Michigan Schedule, David "Mad Dog" Demarco,  Throwback Thursday, Derrick Rose, and High School Football.

Justin Verlander will never be the old JV, but it doesn't mean he's exhausted his effectiveness. Last night's one-hitter showed Verlander still has the stuff, but does this mean for the future? Al and Isaac discuss. Then, Al fields questions about the Michigan and Michigan State football depth charts and previews the season. And like every Thursday, this Current Sports TV Sneak Peek is of Al's interview with David "Mad Dog" Demarco, the famous local radio host. Then, the show closes with 'Throwback Thursday', updates on horrifying allegations against Derrick Rose, and some high school football.
