Current Sports | 12/16/15 | #606

Bo Ryan Retirement, Arthur Ray, Michigan State Football, Michael Buffer, Boxing's Popularity, Cotton Bowl Preview, and "Let's Get Ready to Rumble!"

With two great guests on tap, let's get straight to it. First, Al remembers Bo Ryan in the wake of his retirement. Then, it's former Michigan State lineman and cancer survivor Arthur Ray Jr. who finally links up with the show. He talks about his journey from the hospital room to NFL summer camps. Then, Michael Buffer is "ready to rumble" with Al. The sporting world's most famous announcer joins Current Sports to describe his transformation into boxing's most recognizable voice today and gives a signature but idiosyncratic take on his famous catchphrase. Finally, Al and Isaac briefly talk the Cotton Bowl media day and make their rounds in respect to the rest of the sports happenings.
