RIP Drew Sharp.

Drew Sharp, legendary sports columnist in the Detroit community, has died at 56. Al remembers the iconic writer and relives his interactions with him. Engineer Isaac Constans does the same. Then, Chris Solari, beat reporter for the Detroit Free Press, adds greater knowledge about the man who he came to know personally and what he'll miss most about Sharp, a coworker and close friend. Trying to move on, Al and Isaac preview the Michigan State basketball season following MSU media day. Hear Al's report here. The show closes with a weekend preview of MSU-Maryland football, a split ticket decision, and 'Reflection Friday'.
