April Ross and Kerri Walsh Jennings were favored to win gold for the U.S. in women's beach volleyball in Rio, but came up short with a bronze. Only A Game analyst Charlie Pierce discusses Walsh Jennings' post-bronze Olympic legacy. And speaking of legacy, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobli, from France and Argentina, respectively, have played in their last Olympics — and they'll both be going home without medals. Will the Spurs teammates be able to find solace in another big year in the NBA? And by now, everyone's heard about Ryan Lochte's claims that he was robbed by police at gunpoint. How does his mom play a key role in the drama that has unfolded? Karen Given and Charlie discuss.
