Current Sports | March 8, 2018

G. Smith / Detroit Lions

Detroit Lions; Matthew Stafford; NFL Draft; NFL Combine; Detroit Pistons; DeMar DeRozan; MSU Men's Basketball; NCAA Tourney Selection Show; Big Ten Tournament 

Today's "Current Sports with Al Martin" starts off by addressing an interesting trade proposition from one of our callers centered on Matthew Stafford to the Cleveland Browns. Al isn't buying it and breaks down why Stafford is such a valued player for the Detroit Lions. Then, we recap last night's Detroit Pistons loss to the Toronto Raptors at Little Caesars Arena. The Pistons are in jeopardy of missing the NBA playoffs and Al is very critical of the coach of Stan Van Gundy. The show is then closed out with two callers who highlight the MSU men's basketball loss to the University of Michigan on Saturday, as well as high school basketball and the success of East Lansing High School. 

That, and so much more!
