Ben Carter Michigan State Transfer, Keith Appling Gun Charges, Mother's Day Ideas, Kenneth Vaughn, Current Sports TV Preview, and Throwback Thursday.

On today's "Current Sports with Al Martin"  we chat about it being a celebratory week around the United States. May the Fourth, Cinco de Mayo, Revenge of the Fifth, and Mother's Day all crowd the agenda for today, as Al and engineer Isaac Constans field ideas for Mother's Day presents with the holiday right around the corner. Much more in their element, the new developments are unveiled in the Keith Appling gun charge case. Also, in brighter Michigan State basketball news, the transfer of former-UNLV big man Ben Carter leads to Al and Isaac previewing what he could bring to the Spartans. Then, a special preview of tonight's Current Sports TV sit-down with Kenneth Vaughn premieres on the radio waves. Finally, an angelic caller comes to Al and Isaac's rescue, with a Mother's Day idea that is good advice for everyone around.
