Current Sports | 11/2/15 | #577

The World Series, Kansas City Royals, Michigan's Escape, Jerry Kill Replacement, the Detroit Lions Meltdown, JT Barrett, Michigan High School Football, Erik "Doc" Love, and Weekend Winners.

Current Sports is back after a busy weekend of spooks and scares and treats, and not just in the Halloween sense. First, the Kansas City Royals closed out the World Series in dramatic fashion and late game heroics from an unexpected source. Al and Isaac talk about how this way to win just sums up their team. Also, the embarrassment of Detroit Lions fans has reached a new high in recent years after a demolition derby in London against the Kansas City Chiefs. Is there a solution? Erik "Doc" Love, high school football color commentator, then joins the show to discuss what took place in the first round of the playoffs and what to expect for the upcoming weeks. JT Barrett, Ohio State, Detroit soccer, Michigan football, Miami football, Drew Brees, Leveon Bell, Kansas City Royals... so many choices for Weekend Winners (or losers). Tune in to find out who made the cut.
