On this edition of "Current Sports with Al Martin," Al discusses whether ESPN and other media outlets have a vendetta against Mark Dantonio, Tom Izzo, and Michigan State University. We hear input from callers voicing their opinions of the ESPN "E:60" feature on MSU.

Also, James Edwards III joins the show. Edwards is a beat reporter for "The Athletic," covering the Detroit Pistons. Edwards discusses the Blake Griffin trade, as well as the Pistons prospects with their new lineup.
