Suit up! We’re talking fall sports this week on The Message. 

Football, basketball, cheerleading, three major fall sports that many students enroll in, including your messenger of the night, who could have been a professional baller instead of an entertainer. We'll start the night with an athletic message from them. Then we'll follow it up with brand new post game music you have to play after a tough game. I've got three music news stories that also serve as sports news updates. You'll hear three of the greatest sports songs of all time in hip hop and R&B, in my opinion. And then you'll enjoy music from three more entertainers who were also athletes before they were musicians, including one who joined his sport just to meet women. And then you'll hear your messenger of the night and how they're connected to sports as well! We're talking fall sports, hip hop and R &B this week on The Message.
