Basties, whip out the calendars.

You got one week and one day to the Olympic Games opening ceremony, right, Jack?

One of the rare moments when all Americans can root for the same thing.

Rangers fans, Devils fans, united for Team USA.

And yeah, despite receiving the most medals every year, our government does not pay Team USA a dime.

Some Swede is going to comment that they won more medals than Team USA one time.

78.

But still, big names like Lindsey Vonn and Michaela Sheffrin, they get big sponsorship money.

But no-namers who are doing luge, they have to live off $1,000 to $5,000 a month stipends.

I mean, Jack, remember the pro curler who taught us how to curl during my bachelor party?

He was teaching bachelor parties how to curl when he wasn't at the Olympics.

Because he got paid so little on Team USA.

You see, besties, athletes do get paid by the U.S.

Olympic Committee if they win medals, but most don't get that medal.

bonus.

So for most athletes, health insurance is the most valuable compensation they receive for being on Team USA.

The result, most Team USA athletes have part-time day jobs totally unrelated to their sport, unless it's side hustling with bachelor parties for a crew.

Home Depot and Dick's Sporting Goods apparently hire a lot of Team Olympics people.

But here's the news.

All of that is changing thanks to a $100 million donation from billionaire financier Ross Stevens.
