It was such an odd Labor Day weekend without the start of college football taking place. Al combs through the ripple-effect of no MSU football due to COVID-19 and its financial impact on businesses in the Lansing area. Also, Adrian Peterson to the Lions? How? Why?

On today's Current Sports with Al Martin, Al recaps his Labor Day weekend, specifically just how different it was due to the absence of Michigan State Football. How are people coping with the absence of Spartan football on Saturday and what is the financial impact on local businesses here in the East Lansing area? We also talk about the surprise move from the Detroit Lions, who signed running back Adrian Peterson to a one-year deal.
