Current Sports #525 | August 13, 2015

Ed Davis Injury, Ray Rice Second Chance, Pat O'Keefe, Mid-Michigan Baseball, and Throwback Thursday.

Yesterday's unexpected announcement that senior linebacker Ed Davis will miss the entire 2015 season sent shock waves reverberating around the MSU football fan base. Are these fears justified, and who do the Spartans turn to as a replacement? Al and Isaac discuss and then quickly touch on whether or not Ray Rice deserves a second chance, a topic that they also debate later in the show. The guest for today is Pat O'Keefe, the 47-year coach of Grand Ledge baseball and recent inductee to the Michigan Baseball Hall of Fame. He takes to the air to describe his journey and the baseball scene in mid-Michigan. Lastly, the show concludes with the continuation of the Ray Rice dispute and 'Throwback Thursday'.
