    SPORTS WORK STOPPAGES & RUSSIAN COMMITTEES

    The Russian Olympic Committee got away with doping and it clearly went to their heads.

We'll review that game, those players and other fun facts. Cody comes out as a closet Bengals fan and shares his story with a personal shoutout. We talk about all the loser quarterbacks to this point but focus on Joe Burrow's swagger, then clsoe out with Steve's favorite part - praising Tom Brady.
