Current Sports #503 | July 6, 2015

Women's World Cup, Reggie Jackson's fat new contract, the Tigers' diminishing playoff hopes, and Weekend Winners.

The day after the US women's soccer team won their third World Cup game, Al and Isaac talk the beautiful game. Then, they talk the contrasting situation of the Detroit Tigers, who are reeling. Reggie Jackson also just signed a five-year, $80 million contract, but was he worth it? Next, Al has Brooks Laimbeer, soccer reporter for Impact Sports, onto the show to discuss the future of soccer in America after the momentous win. Finally, the show closes out with Weekend Winners, with a few losers tossed in.
