    When it comes to Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel-gate, everybody is missing the point

    Madeline and Charlotte are back after a short break last week to tackle the story everyone is talking about: The photos of NFL insider Dianna Russini and Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel. The gals talk about the public relations nature of the situation, the role that “insider” reporters play in sports, and the bigger picture of the media landscape that people need to consider when talking about the situation.  First, a few items about the WNBA Draft (more on that on Thursday), because former UConn teammates Azzi Fudd and Paige Bueckers were reunited on the Dallas Wings and…are they still dating? Rory McIlroy won the Masters for the second year in a row, and now he has to come up with a whole new menu for the special dinner. Plus: the Artemis II astronauts are the GOAT sports figures of our time.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Geno Auriemma's non-apology to Dawn Staley, Chicago fumbles Angel Reese, Tiger Woods goes to Swiss rehab?, and a shocking new update to the athlete wedding complex

    Madeline and Charlotte are back with another episode — the only one for this week because they are taking a tiny break! First, a few March Madness updates: UCLA won the women’s tournament and the Michigan men beat UConn with five transfers. Geno Auriemma went after Dawn Staley and the apology he issued was…not great! The Masters starts on Thursday and golfer Jason Day is making waves with his Malbon outfit, which involves birds and fish (complimentary). Plus: Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler’s nine-day-old son, and more. Tiger Woods is going to rehab in Switzerland? Bills quarterback Josh Allen and his wife, actress Hailee Steinfeld, had their baby and went to Seahawks Quarterback Sam Darnold’s wedding. Gracie Hunt (daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt) had a compressed flower engagement that exposed a new problem in the athlete wedding industrial complex: votives. Track star Noah Lyles got married to Junelle Bromfield, a Jamaican track and field athlete, at the same place NBA star Kemba Walker got married.  Angel Reese is being traded from the Chicago Sky to the Atlanta Dream, which is great for Atlanta and stupid for Chicago. Italy didn’t make their third-straight World Cup, Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken missed the NFL coach’s photo because he was getting his haircut for the photo, and Lakers star Luka Doncic is going to Spain to deal with an injury.

    Morgan Riddle on changing the world of tennis, embracing the term WAG, why she doesn’t often work with Taylor Fritz, and living in a “prison of perception”

    Madeline and Charlotte are thrilled to welcome Morgan Riddle to the show! The tennis influencer, content creator, co-founder of The 400 Club, and girlfriend of tennis star Taylor Fritz joins the gals for a wide-ranging conversation about where she came from, how she conquered the tennis world, and where she’s going next.  They chat about how Morgan grew up going to hockey games in Minnesota, wore heels to high school, went to Wagner College, and then moved to LA, where she met Taylor. She talks about the first time she went viral, why she quit her job to become a full-time influencer, why she and Taylor deliberately don’t work together, and her relationship with her stylist who she met when she was 13. Morgan also describes the process of choosing what she wears to matches, why she decides to speak out against injustice on social media, and how she’s seen the tennis world dress differently since she started going on tour. She also talks about the worst sporting event experience she ever had and which sports she’d love to go to more often.  Then Morgan talks about The 400 Club, the company of which she’s a co-founder. She wants to give women places that feel safe to watch sports and help brands understand how to reach female fans in ways they haven’t thought of before.  Hosted on Acast.

    The Oscars were sports (Ryan Coogler, Michael B. Jordan, Joe Burrow), Jordon Hudson posts again, and the wild connection between Jeff Bezos, Tom Brady, and Scooter Braun’s ex-wife

    Madeline and Charlotte are back with an incredible amount of Oscar-related sports gossip. Did you know Ryan Coogler, director of Sinners and winner of Best Original Screenplay, played football at Sacramento State? Or that Best Actor winner Michael B. Jordan is the first Premier League owner to win an Oscar? Plus: Olympians and PWHL stars Hannah Bilka & Hilary Knight were at the awards, and gold-medalist Alysa Liu was at the Vanity Fair Oscar party (so were Hudson Williams and Conor Storie of Heated Rivalry).

Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr was an executive producer on All The Empty Rooms, which won Best Short Documentary.  Jordon Hudson is back! She and her cheerleading squad, Code Black, won a national championship. Her hashtags were incredible. There’s drama with the Chelsea — they were fined £10.75m by the Premier League, as well as a one-year transfer ban. This has to do with Russian oligarchs (trust us). LeBron James’ latest IG story took a page right out of Tom Brady’s book. Plus: US Men’s sled hockey won gold in the Paralympics!  Finally, Tom Brady was spotted with manager/money guy Scooter Braun’s ex wife and mining heiress, Yael Cohen Braun.
