Guess who's back, back, back... On this episode of "Current Sports with Al Martin," Al discusses Michigan Fab Five member Chris Webber's acceptance of an invitation to be an honorary captain for a Michigan football game this coming season. Coach Jim Harbaugh extended the invitation to Webber last week when they appeared on WTKA's "The M Zone" in Ann Arbor. Brooks Laimbeer, a regional scout for MLS's Portland Timbers, joins the show. Laimbeer discusses the FIFA World Cup and the events up to this point, and looks ahead to the Round of 16 and which teams could secure the last few berths. Al closes the show with Weekend Winners, discussing the pro boxing win of Claressa Shields in Detroit Friday night.
