NFL Opening Day, Detroit Tigers Playoff Hopes, Brad Ausmus Job Security, Colin Kaepernick and Throwback Thursday.

On today's "Current Sports with Al Martin," it's time for some scary talk. Although it's the first day of football and giddiness is running in abundance, Al and engineer Isaac Constans are worried that they might have gotten too high on the Tigers. Today's show features the return of standings talk, Brad Ausmus, and all of those who might be strapping down the team. And Al finally delivers his long-awaited speech on Colin Kaepernick's decision to sit. Lastly, "Throwback Thursday" throws some history lessons into the mix.
