Current Sports | 1/28/16 | #626

Cam Newton, Racism in the NFL, Black Quarterbacks, Michigan State Women's Basketball, Current Sports TV Preview, Paul Konyndye, and Throwback Thursday.

Cam Newton looks destined to be the league MVP. Yet, he is regularly the subject of heavy criticism for his touchdown celebrations and his off-the-field interactions. He blames it on race, but what do Al and Isaac think? They explore this sensitive subject and talk about racial stereotypes that prevail in today's NFL. Even before that, Al gives his breakdown of the Michigan State women's basketball team and what you've been missing out on if you have not been to the Breslin Center this year to check out Suzy Merchant's squad. Then, listen up for a Current Sports TV sneak peek of this week's sit-down with Paul Konyndye, associate editor for SpartanMag.com. Last but not least, meet some more of the interns who will be assisting with Current Sports operations this semester, and find out what happened on January 28 on 'Throwback Thursday.'
