First Current Sports of 2017; WMU / Wisconsin Cotton Bowl; Cory Olsen of MLIVE; Lane Kiffin

Today marks the first "Current Sports with Al Martin" radio broadcast of 2017! To start the year, Al recaps the wild Bowl matchups from Monday, including the Cotton Bowl which saw Western Michigan fall to Wisconsin. Al invites Cory Olsen, WMU beat reporter and photographer for MLIVE to recap the game. 

Also, Al sounds-off on the Alabama release of offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin. What led to Kiffin leaving the team just a week before the national championship? That and more! Enjoy.
