    The NFL has begun talks on adding an extra game to its season. Andrew Brandt, former NFL executive, joins the show to explain how the coming negotiations will be a test of the NFLPA’s power. We also look into the limited power of players holding out for a better contract.

    Plus, Snoop Dogg is an Olympic torch-bearer, there are plans for a $7 billion development around the Bulls and Blackhawks arena, and breakdancing is making its Olympics debut. Steezy cofounder Evan Zhou joins to explain how the sport rose from the dance floor to the Summer Games.
