USA Today Sports

NFL Draft, Connor Cook, Biggest Snubs, Laremy Tunsil, Michigan State Football, NBA Playoffs, Steph Curry MVP, Detroit Lions, and Weekend Winners.

The wait for Current Sports is over. After the day off Friday, "Current Sports with Al Martin" is back on the air to discuss another long wait--Connor Cook's wait on draft day. Al and engineer Isaac Constans express their emotions surrounding the former MSU quarterback and his unexpected fall to pick no. 100 in the draft. What could his career look like in Oakland? Fellow Spartan and Raider Shilique Calhoun and the rest of Spartan draftees are on tap, as well as Laremy Tunsil, the no. 13 pick who had the most uneasy draft of all time. Then, how did the Detroit Lions make out with their picks? Also, the soporific NBA playoffs force the discussion of if Steph Curry is really the MVP. And to close the show, 'Weekend Winners' hits what was missed over the rest of the hour.
