Loaded show! We give Detroit Lions draft grades. We break down the Deion Sanders HBCU comments in relation to the NFL draft. Also, LeBron James trashes the NBA play-in format!

On today's Current Sports with Al Martin we give final NFL draft grades for the Detroit Lions. Al tells you what the experts thought, as well as provides his own grade (which is surprisingly high)! Also, Deion Sanders cries foul on the fact that not one HBCU player was drafted. Fair? And LeBron James is not happy with the NBA play-in tournament format. Is it because the Los Angeles Lakers may be playing in it? That and more!

Episode 1789

Al Martin is the host of Beyond the Score, a new series coming to WKAR in the fall of 2024. Al is also sports reporter for WKAR news.
