Detroit Lions; Golden Tate; Taylor Decker; S.W.A.P. Meet; James Moore; Reflection Friday.

On today's episode of "Current Sports with Al Martin," does Golden Tate deserve to get paid? After taking to Twitter this past week, it's clear that the now eighth year receiver out of Notre Dame certainly believes he does. Listen in to see if Al and Tate are in the same state of thinking. Al also weighs in on the injury to offensive lineman Taylor Decker. With no known timetable for a return, we talk replacements for the second-year stud. Amid the murky circumstances behind Thad Matta's departure from Ohio State, Isaac Constans and Al discuss the future of Buckeye basketball. Yet another emotional S.W.A.P. Meet hits the airwaves today as former Rose Bowl winning Spartan fullback James Moore has a message for the parents of Josh King, Donnie Corley and Demetric Vance. Reflection Friday puts a stamp on this week as Al and Isaac, along with summer interns Jacob Herbert and Carina Garcia look back on the news and notes of the week that didn't make it on Current Sports.
