Current Sports #506 | July 9, 2015

Football's Fireworks, Alvin Ellis Misdemeanor, CSTV Sneak Peek, DeAndre Jordan and Throwback Thursday.

For a 'Throwback Thursday', there are certainly a lot of novel topics on tab today. The first is Jason Pierre-Paul's injury, an amputated finger which was caused by his misuse of fireworks. Also, Alvin Ellis's misdemeanor for a minor's possession and purchasing of alcohol worsens the week for Tom Izzo, who already was dealing with Eron Harris's DUI. Al and Isaac elaborate on the ramifications for the MSU basketball program before a CSTV exclusive preview. Also, DeAndre Jordan's free agency flip-flopping is an extremely comical story, but will have serious impacts for future free agents and current teams. After Al and Isaac exchange tales of Jordan, 'Throwback Thursday' returns to roll out the show.
