  1. Angel Reese Dreams, Khloe and Lamar Tell All, and the Royal Baby of Buffalo Arrives

    Angel Reese Dreams, Khloe and Lamar Tell All, and the Royal Baby of Buffalo Arrives

    This March Madness, the category was “upset.” At least on the women’s side. South Carolina upset UCONN — the overwhelming favorite on the women’s side – which failed on its mission to win the natty two years in a row. Then, UCONN coach Geno Auriemma literally upset South Carolina coach Dawn Staley in a post-game screaming match. We dive into his allegations, his half-assed apology, and why we’re tired of seeing women have to take the higher road.  In this episode of Well Played, we also cover:  Angel Reese kicks off WNBA free agency trade, going from the Chicago Sky to the Atlanta Dream  Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom share the reality behind Odom’s addiction in a new episode of “Untold” Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld’s first public engagement after having their baby girl  Rapper J.

    The “Pregnancy Penalty”, Martha Stewart vs. Jalen Brunson, Gold Medal ASMR with Laila Edwards

    Marathoner Emma Bates went viral after sharing that her sponsor, UCan, dropped her once they learned she was pregnant. While UCan denied the allegation, it still reminded us of an unfortunate reality for women athletes – that the “pregnancy penalty” still exists. We break down what the penalty is, why some women athletes view pregnancy as a “death sentence” to their career, and how athletes like Allyson Felix have fought to stop it. In this episode, we also cover: Naomi Osaka retirement rumors swirling after her comments around motherhood and her tennis career Shaq addressing the AI-generated texts between him and Sabrina Carpenter NWSL smashing record attendance (again) – and the Denver Summit player who proved representation does matter Which teams made it to the Final Four, and how Blake and Caroline’s brackets are doing Send Its: Carson Pickett’s heartwarming moment with young fan: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DWcSRqXEjN_/ Shaq’s AI-generated texts: https://youtu.be/rOxlgU75f7w?si=D7XQPSA24hqA5wqz&t=18 The Stewart-Brunson fracture: https://people.com/martha-stewart-said-nba-player-broke-her-toe-courtside-11871039 Miss Thailand contestant breaks it down: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWeaQ_PDRRM/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Learn more about your ad choices.

    Chappell Roan Upsets Soccer Star, the WNBA’s Protection for Pregnant Players, and the Fernando Mendoza of Basketball

    It finally happened – the WNBA voted to ratify its new collective bargaining agreement, months after the deadline passed. It’s a major win for professional women’s basketball players and the league, which will offer what it calls “the first comprehensive revenue-sharing model in women's professional sports history.” With just weeks until the season starts, the off-season – and free agency chaos – begins.  Learn more about your ad choices.

    Sinners’ Stars Go Sport Mode, Chloe Kim’s Meet Cute, and Misty Copeland on Her Oscar’s Appearance

    The internet was all in on Timothée Chalamet’s Oscars run last year for “Marty Supreme” (guilty as charged). The Academy? Not so much. The ping-pong flick struck out, Chalamet walked back his ballet take, and he left empty-handed. Meanwhile, ballerina Misty Copeland had a front-row seat, performing onstage during Sinners’ “I Lied to You.” She joins us on Well Played to talk about getting the call from Ryan Coogler, what society gets wrong about women’s strength, and her journey back after hip replacement surgery. In this episode of Well Played, we also cover: Chloe Kim and Myles Garett’s unlikely matchmaker  Boston Legacy’s record-breaking home opener – and why the record won’t last long Misty Copeland on how she gained a newfound strength post-retirement How Oksana Masters went from orphan in Ukraine to most decorated Paralympian Where to find our March Madness brackets Send Its:  Dua Lipa, Callum Turner, and Jannik Sinner give us a lesson in body language: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DV4oi-7D4DV/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==  Indian Wells’ Whitney Houston challenge: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DV1Xi3GigJ7/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==  Learn about Chandler Bing: https://vucommodores.com/roster/chandler-bing/  Christian McCaffrey goes to (fashion) jail: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DV0Apt5jR1j/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==  Bonus: Oksana Masters article from “The Player’s Tribune” https://projects.theplayerstribune.com/oksana-masters-the-hard-part-out-loud/p/1  Follow Misty Copeland: @mistyonpointe Learn about Aveeno x Togethxr's "The Strength Issue":  @aveeno   @Togethxr  Follow Well Played: @wellplayedbytheskimm Follow Blake: @blaaakkkke Follow Caroline: @cghendy Learn more about your ad choices.

    Joe Burrow & Jessica Alba Dating Rumors, Travis Returns, and Bracketology 101 ft. Mackenzie Brooks

    Mercury is in retrograde which can only mean one thing — breakups. From Dak Prescott and Sarah Jane Ramos calling off their wedding to Luka Dončić’s fiancée deleting all of her photos with the star hooper, this week gave us nothing but drama in the love department. Plus, Caroline recaps this week’s free agency frenzy and CBS’ betting analyst, Mackenzie Brooks, gives practical advice on how to actually win your March Madness pool. In this episode of Well Played, we also cover: Who promptly shut down the Joe Burrow and Jessica Alba dating rumors Why some are mad after Sydney Leroux’s annual International Women’s Day post How Tobin Heath’s jersey retirement came full circle, ft.

    Harry Styles’ Marathon Hack, Trinity Slides into DMs, and Azzi Goes WAG Status ft. Dawn Staley

    Harry Styles ran two marathons and all he got was peeing advice that we may or may not adopt. Heavy on the “may not”. Trinity Rodman and Cameron Brink reminded us that Gen Z almost always finds love using the internet, and made us yearn for the Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and JFK Jr. days of romance (are you team red roses or white orchids?). And in actual sports news, Caroline tells us who to look out for post-NFL Combine. In this episode of Well Played, we also cover: Charles LeClerc’s first wedding – implying there is a second How Azzi Fudd and Sarah Strong led UCONN women’s basketball to dominance this season Comparing the NBA and WNBA’s salary caps ahead of the women’s CBA deadline on March 10  Dawn Staley’s advice for Bam Adebayo when it comes to A’ja Wilson  A four-for-one Alysa Liu Send It, from her trip to “Watch What Happens Live” to meeting Daniel Radcliffe Send Its: Soccer player gives seagull CPR: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DVXHV-vkxgj/  UCONN vs. UMass breakaway lights out: https://www.ctinsider.com/sports/uconn/article/hockey-umass-mullins-center-lights-viral-score-ot-21949129.php  Who’s Alysa Liu’s Olympic crush?: https://www.instagram.com/p/DVSW-YTFHTn/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=cd0deea4-8a44-408a-be19-2aafadcb19b8  And who’s the mascot who dressed like her?: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/q_wuyZ33cJs  Follow Dawn Staley on IG: @staley05 Follow Well Played on IG: @wellplayedbytheskimm  Follow Blake on IG: @blaaakkkke  Follow Caroline on IG: @cghendy  Learn more about your ad choices.

    How Women Won the Winter Olympics ft. Brenda Song | Well Played

    Women won big time at the Winter Olympics, taking home more than half of Team USA’s gold medals. But a story involving President Trump and the US men’s hockey team has clouded the moment, raising questions about support for the women. After the team declined a White House visit, Flavor Flav offered to host them instead. Yes, really. Meanwhile, Megan Thee Stallion linked up with Laila Edwards, and figure skater Amber Glenn pushed for more conversation about competing on your period.

    Moms Win at the Olympics, Taylor Swift Intro's “Blade Angels”, and the Canadian Curling Scandal

    (Almost) the entire pod is about the Olympics this week. Sorry, not sorry. Caroline and Blake beg the question: why are winter Olympic athletes so much more unhinged than the summer ones? From a Norwegian biathlete’s very public cheating confession to a gold medalist’s credit card fraud conviction, we dive deep into the most wild stories from the week. In this episode, we also cover: Why the NFLPA can no longer publish its report cards publicly – and why that’s a loss for the league What Joe Judge gets wrong about fatherhood in Trinidad Chambliss’ eligibility testimony What Breanna Stewart’s off-season move to play in Turkey could mean for the WNBA season A Canadian curling scandal ft. the Swedish…surveillance state?  Going for the Golds:  Milan-Cortina c*ndoms restocked at the village: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/2026/02/17/winter-olympics-condom-supply-shortage/88715151007/ Taylor Swift presents…the “Blade Angels”: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DU1aS--Aan4/?igsh=ZGg3Mm15aTc2NWJl Benoit Richaud’s changes outfits more than his skaters: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DU3CTbdjY95/  Follow Well Played on IG: @wellplayedbytheskimm  Blake on IG: @blaaakkkke Caroline on IG: @cghendy theSkimm on IG: @theskimm Learn more about your ad choices.
