Detroit Pistons Winning Streak, Reggie Jackson, Ish Smith, Big Ten Awards, Jabrill Peppers, Tiger Woods, NFC North and Throwback Thursday.

With no guests and no intro, there's no fooling around on today's show--just straight sports talk. Starting off the hour, Tiger Woods is hosting a very exclusive golf tournament this weekend in the Bahamas, and he is by far the worst in the field. But as he does progressively well throughout the day, Al and engineer Isaac Constans consider the tired question of if he can still compete. Then, the Detroit Pistons have found their groove recently, winning four of the last five games. Luke Robbins, Current Sports production assistant, joins the gang to try to break down the recent success. And if Reggie Jackson were to be healthy enough to come back now, should he get his starting spot back? Then, Current Sports production assistants Zachary Swiecicki and Griffin Wasik review the Big Ten's job of awarding the best players in the conference football season. To end the show, a bizarre 'Throwback Thursday' leads into Al and Isaac describing how the Detroit Lions can win the division.
