Will the Olympics still exist 20 years from now? (podcast)

Both China and Russia have spent billions of dollars on recent Olympic Games, virtually pricing every other nation out of the market. Will this runaway spending continue? Will anyone want to bother with hosting the Games in the future? Come 2035, will there even be such a thing as the Olympics?

That's one of our Friday Five topics today on Yahoo Sports' Grandstanding podcast. Other ideas we're kicking around:

• If you had to abandon your favorite city's sports teams, which city would you adopt as your new sports mecca? (Bandwagoners who root for the Cowboys/Yankees/Cavaliers need not apply.)

• In light of allegations against the Blackhawks' Patrick Kane, what do you do when a player on your favorite team has (allegedly) done something horrible? How do you keep rooting for them afterward?

• Which player currently in the game will you miss most once he (or she) retires?

• The Republican presidential debate. That was crazy, huh?
