This week in Pretty Boys of the NFL, Tom Brady apparently hit it off with Sydney Sweeney at the Bezos-Sànchez wedding across the pond in Venice. Blake begs the very important question — can Tom Brady even flirt? Back home, Tight End University kicked off, where players came for the football and stayed for an impromptu Taylor Swift concert. Thanks, Travis. In this episode of Well Played, we also cover:  A recap of our time in ...

It was a winning week for Gen-Z athletes in basketball. Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd finally hard-launched their relationship on Instagram after months of speculation. Then, the Oklahoma City Thunder won the NBA Championship with an average roster age of 24.7. Subtract a couple of pandemic years (girl math), and they’re basically 22. Their post-win celebration? Let's just say it reflected their age. In this episode of Well Played,...

Emma Watson swapped scripts for sports on a certain Oxford University athletic team. Caroline has some words for her, if that gives you any clue about which sport it is. Also across the pond, the Kelce boys take Cannes Lions Festival to talk about the success of their podcast, New Heights. But the real star of the show? The outfit Jason wore in his panel there.The dad vibes are strong with this one.  In this episode of Well Played...

Coco Gauff made history with her victory at Roland Garross, despite controversial comments from her opponent after the match. And did you see her tiny trophy - what was that all about? Meanwhile, Alex Cooper’s new documentary dropped and her story from playing soccer in college is worth hearing.  In this episode of Well Played, we also cover:  Carlos Alcaraz matching Rafa Nadal’s championship pace Aaron Rodgers signed w...

Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs was caught on video giving a mysterious bag of pink powder to women on a yacht – and he still managed to hard launch on IG with Cardi B. Meanwhile, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show featured some of our favorite athletes – hi, Jordan Chiles – and one of the most infamous Housewives of the wine-mom variety.  In this episode of Well Played, we also cover:  Who’s taking the post-Knic...

After the Knicks stumbled in the Eastern Conference Finals, we have just one question: is Timothée Chalamet okay? From Haliburton’s choke celly to KAT’s revenge tour, the NBA playoffs are delivering. Blake and Caroline chat about all the sports today (yes, even ultramarathons) and are joined virtually by Ilona Maher to talk rugby, body acceptance, being chronically online. In this episode of Well Played, we also cover:  Why S...

Men and women’s pro-hoops popped off last weekend. The Knicks upset the Celtics to make their first final four appearance in over 20 years. Meanwhile, the WNBA saw record crowds, a Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese showdown, and their foul-filled play everyone’s still talking about. Blake and Caroline break down the play and ask: if Caitlin and Angel moved on, why can’t we?  In this episode of Well Played, we also cover:  The lat...

Over the weekend, rumors swirled that Bill Belichick’s 24-year-old girlfriend was banned from UNC football facilities. The school shot that down quickly. But between the post-CBS interview shakeup to Jordon’s recent Miss Maine competition, TBD if either of them will even make it to week one of the season. Plus, Allison Kuch joins us to talk about life since husband left the NFL – and how she got her “pink” back.  In this episode...

Met Gala Monday showed us just how much influence athletes have on culture. From Simone Biles and Angel Reese serving on the host committee to even the least fashion-forward (hi, Joe Burrow) showing up to the carpet, the intersection of sport and fashion is hard to ignore. And we’re here for it. In this episode of Well Played, we’ll also cover:  A recap of Blake and Caroline’s trip to Tampa covering DICKS Varsity Team debut ...

As women athletes show up more and more in the zeitgeist, so do their husbands and boyfriends. But Blake and Caroline couldn’t help but wonder: do HABs get the same treatment as WAGs? Plus, 2 Dope Queens host and comedian Phoebe Robinson answers the question: should you date someone in your run club? In this episode of Well Played, we’ll also cover:  How Shadeur Sanders failed to nepo-baby his way through the NFL draft  ...

Swifties just about lost it when the organizer of a Kentucky Derby gala announced plans of a potential Taylor tour. In other “barely sports” news, Blake explains why the baddies are taking over the Knicks courtside seats, and what to make of the Stanley Cup exuding single girl energy on Instagram. In this episode of Well Played, we’ll also cover:  Why Blake is putting down the mic to pursue an athletic career (it’s not a goodbye...

Caroline and Blake attended the WNBA draft last night and have many thoughts. While Blake  beefed with the Dallas Wings mascot, a controversial celeb gave a nod to Caroline. Plus, we get an inside look at the orange carpet from content creator Aliyah Funschelle, who joins us in the studio to chat about exclusive interviews with athletes (and Paige Buecker’s after party with Nike).  In this episode of Well Played, we’ll also cover:...

Paige Bueckers and co. brought UCONN’s women basketball to its first March Madness win in almost a decade. After tearful celebrations, Coach Geno Auriemma shared some choice words for the NCAA. Something to the tune of “you don’t care about student athletes”, especially the women.  In this episode of Well Played, we’ll also cover: The $2.8 billion NCAA settlement that’ll potentially fund Caroline’s wedding The one thing connect...

LeBron is not holding back anymore on all his foes. Caroline and Blake take a chance to react to their favorite details from his latest ESPN interview. Meanwhile, March Madness is (mostly) a snoozefest and we know why. Turns out it has something to do with…chalk?  In this episode of Well Played, we’ll also cover: The controversial Torpedo bat that has the Yankees playing better than ever  The Women’s Final Four and Paige Buecke...

Blake and Caroline predicted a Trinity Rodman and Ben Shelton hard launch, but Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump? Not on our bingo cards. Several couples made their relationships IG official this week, and there might be a potential power couple budding between JuJu Watkins and Jayden Daniels. That is, unless Jayden’s mom can help it.   In this episode of Well Played, we’ll also cover: Which famous athlete took credit for connecting...

Before Simone and Suni came Shawn Johnson, the Olympic gold medalist who shot to fame during the Olympics 17 years ago. Yup, we feel old too. Shawn joins Blake and Caroline in the studio to talk about fans literally crawling under bathroom stalls to get her autograph, why she couldn’t go back to high school, and her biggest piece of advice to teenaged athletes on the brink of stardom. In this episode of Well Played, we’ll also cov...

Last week Blake and Caroline wondered which sports league would take the lead on supporting players’ families, and the Women’s Tennis Association said “allow me.” The WTA clinched a historic win for its players who are now eligible for 12-months of maternity leave, grants for fertility treatment, and more. In this episode of Well Played, we’ll also cover: Yay or nay: the PDA between Kylie and Timothée Chalamet  Why LeBron gave li...

Commentators nationwide took a hard look in the mirror when LeBron called out the “weird energy” in sports media, where coverage of NBA players is nothing but negative. Seattle Storm player Lexie Brown joins us in the studio to chat about how that negativity led her to delete her Twitter, how she trained her brain to always see the positive, and why she finally took her own mental health seriously, thanks in part to a partnership w...

It’s 2025, so why do we have to tell people to stop stalking women in sports? On the heels of tennis player Emma Raducanu and track star Gabby Thomas sharing their stalking stories, Blake and Caroline discuss why women athletes are at higher risk for harassment, the role social media plays, and how leagues can do better to protect them.  In this episode of Well Played, we’ll also cover: Blake and Caroline’s strong feelings about...

The NBA hoped to get fans to care about the All Star Game this year and…it seriously backfired. After only 42 minutes of game time during the 3-hour broadcast, fans were left scratching their heads at the new format, the constant stoppages, and Kevin Hart’s (bad) jokes. Blake and Caroline look to the NHL’s 4 Nations for inspiration on how the ballers can make next year better.  In this episode of Well Played, we’ll also cover: W...
