Olympics Update, Detroit Lions' Preseason, Deshaun Tate, NBA Pay Scale, Lebron James, and Reflection Friday.

The weekend starts, and the sports keep going. Al puts in a jampacked show, including an Olympic update from fill-in engineer Seth Kinker with both the news from Thursday and a preview of the weekend. But that's not all that is going up, as Current Sports prepares for the first sight of football, with the Detroit Lions kicking off their preseason. A preview of the team is on. Then, Deshaun Tate, East Lansing native and CBS Sports Atlanta radio host and producer, is in the studio for the first time to dish on basketball. And of course, looking back on the week that was, 'Reflection Friday' picks out the most salient stories.

WKAR’s first live pledge drive since federal funding was eliminated is happening now. Our goal for the drive is $60,000 and reaching it will bring us one step closer to closing the federal funding gap.
