    Zendaya’s Week in Sports, the Knicks Ring Phishing Email, and Tom Brady’s Supermodel Obsession

    Happy (almost) Halloween listeners. Is there anything scarier than the Knicks’ championship ring phishing scam? Or Tom Brady’s supermodel obsession ft. Joan Smalls and Candice Swanapoel? The answer is yes. It’s the WNBA finals game 6 taking place in the middle of our lunch break on Thursday. An honorary mention?

    The Fever Fan Debate, Gisele & Tom’s Astrological Divorce, and the NFL Teams Surprising Us in Week 4

    We thought we knew everything about Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen’s divorce, then Lars Anderson gave us more to chew on. In his new biography on the 7x Super Bowl champ, we learn that the literal stars effectively ended the Brady Bündch-en. Plus, we get into why we’re still talking about the incident between a Fever fan and A’ja Wilson — and what questions it raises for the soon-to-be-hired WNBA commissioner.

    Stafford’s Swift Appearance, Kate Upton’s MLB Lore, and Jalen Brunson’s SNL Debut

    Jalen Brunson ditched his typical stoic self for his SNL debut last weekend for a few characters: a high school musical-esque basketballer, a rapper, and a member of a polycule. Seeing OG Anunoby act was the cherry on top. Matt Stafford also took the big screen in Taylor Swift’s music video for “Patient Zero,” which debuted at this year’s VMAs. Turns out having Swiftie daughters can pay dividends for your career. In this episode, we also cover: The latest in the WNBA playoffs, plus honoring Olivia Miles and Nneka Ogwumike’s league accomplishments Whether JJ McCarthy will replace fellow young Giants QB, Jaxson Dart, for the long run Two activities that aren’t activities but should be: beer wenching & girl gripping Where things stand in the MLB post-season    PS: Sound off on the sports stories keeping you up at night.

    Simone Biles’ Sleepy Girl Game Day, Kiffin Flops in Front of His Ex, and Blake Picks Her NFL Team

    NFL week 2 gave us injuries, moments from our favorite WAGs, and confirmation that it’s too soon to judge a team by its quarterback.
