THE WINTER OLYMPICS ARE HERE!!

J and Nik recap their Philly Unrivaled trip (Marina Mabrey's 47-point explosion), break down why the WNBA CBA negotiations are a disaster, and preview the Milan Winter Olympics.

Sports Yap with J:

• [01:42] Winter Olympics Preview: Erin Jackson flag bearer, Lindsey Vonn's torn ACL, new events including ski mountaineering & women's large hill ski jumping
• [23:27] Philly Unrivaled Recap: Marina Mabrey's record 47 points (27 in ONE quarter), Lunar Owls beat Rose 85-75, sold-out arena energy
• [39:07] Trinity Rodman Signs Record Deal: $2M+ annually with Washington Spirit, highest paid female soccer player in the world
• [43:43] WNBA CBA Disaster: 37 "improvements" that are actually basics - no free League Pass, no All-Star tickets, teams without nutritionists, pregnant player protections missing

Pop Culture: Quick Heated Rivalry check-in, Scott Hunter episode appreciation, and why the NHL capitalizing on queer content while not being a safe league is infuriating.
