Michigan State Men's Basketball; Detroit Lions; Buffalo Bills; New England Patriots; Tom Brady; College Bowl Season

On this Monday edition of Current Sports with Al Martin we recap the busy weekend that was. Al brings commentary on the Michigan State men's basketball win over Green Bay and the career night for junior forward Nick Ward. Also, Al comments on the countless bowl games, one of which saw Eastern Michigan lose a heartbreaker to Georgia Southern. We then dive into the Detroit Lions woes after a one-point road loss to the Buffalo Bills. How would you grade the first year of head coach Matt Patricia? The show is closed out with a call from Ray in Indiana, who enjoys watching Tom Brady and the New England Patriots fall a second straight game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. That, and more!
