On this Friday episode of Current Sports with Al Martin, Al offers some of his takeaways from the NFL preseason debuts of rookie headliners Baker Mayfield and Saquon Barkley. Are we overreacting after seeing what the highly touted rookies did last night? We are also joined in segment one by James Manuel and Maurice Benson to talk about the inaugural season for the Lansing Legends of the American Basketball Association. Manuel and Benson provide new details on the inaugural season, which is right around the corner! Then, former University of North Carolina defensive back Deunta Williams joins us for Reflection Friday to wrap up our discussion of the suspensions for UNC football players that will take place this fall.
