MSU Hall of Fame Ceremony, Washington Redskins, Lansing Mini Golf, Sam Silverstein, Throwback Thursday and Colin Kaepernick.

Yet another case of police brutality mars today's show. Hear from athletes around the country lamenting the current situation in Tulsa and Charlotte, as well as Al and engineer Isaac Constans sounding off. As hard as it is to focus on the other sports, the MSU Hall of Fame ceremony commands a talking point in today's show. Al also reports from Cooley Law School Stadium, with the Lansing Lugnuts setting up a mini golf course on the baseball field. Hear the full report from that before another important story is brought to light. Sam Silverstein, comedian and founder of "Laughter is the Cure," is again on the record here on Current Sports describing how he is raising money for cancer victims. Lastly, Throwback Thursday turns back the clocks.
