0:00.0 | Welcome in the Olympics are in full swing. |
0:23.0 | This is an old Bill Simmons idea, but it is the correct idea. |
0:28.0 | If we could somehow get the Winter Olympics, Summer Olympics, and the World Cup on three-year rotations |
0:39.0 | instead of four-year rotations and stagger them that way every year we either had an |
0:47.6 | Olympics or a World Cup every year we had a massive multi-week international event where we watch |
0:56.6 | sports that were not always locked into or in the World Cup watch the biggest |
