    The Paris Olympics represent more than just a chance for Simone Biles to add to her singular career—she is looking to lead the U.S. on a comeback after winning silver in the Tokyo Games. Journalist Ari Saperstein joins the show to discuss what’s at stake for Biles and a U.S. gymnastics team that has been reshaped by injuries just before the Olympics begin.

    Plus, Paramount and Skydance struck a deal, the Dallas Stars are launching a free streaming service, a PED-friendly Olympics alternative is looking to raise $300 million, and Dan Hurley signed a $50 million deal with UConn.
