Current Sports #534 | August 26, 2015

MSU Hall of Fame, Utah vs. Michigan, Author John Greenburg, Scott Pohl Feature, Ray Bentley and Participation Trophies.

Al and Isaac open the show by sharing their thoughts on the incoming Michigan State Hall of Fame Class, which features, most notably, Charlie Bell and Andre Rison. Then, hear what one magazine did to ratchet up the hype for the Michigan-Utah matchup even more. Author John Greenberg is a caller for today's show, and discusses the issue of participation trophies and the proper way to handle such questions, as well as providing a summary of his book, Stop and Think: She Could Send You to Prison. And Current Sports ends with a borrowed special from its neighbor, Current Sports, as Scott Pohl profiles Ray Bentley.
