Michigan State football defeats Western Michigan; Michigan football avoids upset against Army; Detroit Lions tie against Arizona Cardinals; More Antonio Brown drama

On today's Current Sports with Al Martin we recap a wild and busy weekend from the sporting world! We discuss the surprising surge from the Michigan State football offense against Western Michigan on Saturday night at Spartan Stadium. What's the likliehood that the Spartans offense can keep it up? Also, we dive into the upset that almost was, as the Army Black Knights pushed the Michigan Wolverines to the brink. We close out the show by discussing how the Detroit Lions blew a 24-6 lead against the Arizona Cardinals in game one of the regular season. The game ended in a tie, but it feels more like a loss. That, and brief thoughts on the Antonio Brown saga that now has the star wide receiver playing for the New England Patriots.
