Today Fletcher Sharpe is in and we do a bit of a preview of the NFL Draft event situation. Plus, we discuss whether professional players should bet on sports at all, and the growing importance of gambling to the business of sports.
The Detroit Tigers may not be able to coast with a .500 record and win the American League Central as the Cleveland Guardians are showing to be a stronger team, so the Tigers will have to step up with their bats.
And Fletcher went to the Detroit City FC match against the Oakland Roots as city wins again in the USL Championship, 3-1.
