Hour 1 - Overtime Gold, NFL Market Shakeups, and a Strange Hockey Tradition

from The Chris Russell Show

Hour 1 opens with an electric international sports moment as the United States Men's National Ice Hockey Team captures gold on an overtime winner from Jack Hughes, followed by a candid breakdown of how the U.S. survived despite being outplayed by Canada for much of the game. The conversation then turns to a familiar-but-still-awkward tradition in championship hockey: why the losing coach doesn’t receive a medal. From the ice to the NFL, the hour wraps with a look at Kyle Pitts being franchise tagged by the Atlanta Falcons, and how that decision reshapes the tight end market across the National Football League heading into free agency.
