This week, we're talking about a number of examples of cheating or bending the rules in sports, and how it affects our everyday life. Is there an inherent flaw in how we police the bending of these rules if there's money involved? We're using the key example of Tua Tagovailoa, seriously hurt with concussion-like symptoms after the Miami Dolphins allegedly didn't follow proper protocol after an initial hit. The team was off to a hot start up until that point. What does this say about putting profit over health?

Then, two examples from the world of motorsports, with punishment or expected changes potentially less severe due to the money involved. One example comes from NASCAR, where the design of the Gen 7 chassis is causing drivers to be hurt in what once seemed to be run of the mill crashes. Why is NASCAR dragging its feet on implementing safety upgrades to keep these drivers safe? Are they running a risk each time they get in the car?

Then, a budget cap breach in F1 possible to go many millions above the limit. Is the fact that it's one of the sports biggest teams in Red Bull that's causing the sport to drag its feet in dishing out punishment? There's a lot riding on this initial punishment for a budget cap breach, worthy of setting a tone but with the potential of changing the outcome of last year's championship.

Lastly, is this a glimpse into the challenges of our everyday lives courtesy of Corporate America and Capitalism? Why are these things so concerning, but none of them shocking? There's a lot to talk about, and we dive into it all!
