Le'Veon Bell, Bill Belichick, Greater Lansing Area Sports Hall of Fame, Jordyn Wieber, Jim Brandstatter, College Football Playoff Date, University of Michigan, and Reflection Friday.

On today's "Current Sports with Al Martin" if it's football you fancy, it's football we got. Today's show is the first of many to discuss what has transpired throughout the 100-yards as the season draws closer, starting with a funny sound clip from Bill Belichick and going to a rather confusing quote from Le'Veon Bell. Al and engineer Isaac Constans discuss that before heading on over to the local news. Al remembers his night at the Greater Lansing Area Sports Hall of Fame banquet by replaying his interviews with former Olympic gymnast Jordyn Wieber and famed broadcaster Jim Brandstatter. Then, Al and Isaac discuss the University of Michigan season outlook and the changing of date for playoff games. And finally, a quick "Reflection Friday" puts the show to rest.
