    The Beckhams Go Royal, Simone Shares Candid Confessions, and the IRL Pink Pony Club

    David and Victoria Beckham graduated from “Mr. and Mrs.” to “Sir and Lady” after the soccer legend was knighted for his service in sport and charity. It was a decade-long process – and apparently included some expletive-filled emails when he got passed over years ago. The family gathered to celebrate, but we couldn’t help but notice one noticeably absent Beckham. Meanwhile, Simone Biles shared a “get unready with me” TikTok we didn’t know we needed full of cultural confessions. Simone, if you’re reading this: it would be our honor to show you how to use a dishwasher.  In this week’s episode, we also discuss:  Caroline’s crash out over the Jets trade of Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams Hellen Obiri breaking the NYC Marathon course record – and her parents adorable reaction Clayton Kershaw’s dad bod on full display, plus whether Shohei Ohtani is secretly fluent in English  What we want out of the next Cardi B and Robert Kraft sighting Joe Burrow’s Halloween costume that had us asking…why so serious?  Send Its:  Cardi B and Kraft are suite-side besties: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQkokwUgEBU/?igsh=MThyaHZyY3F6bmNzbA==  Simone Biles’ “get unready with me” confessions: https://www.tiktok.com/@simonebilesowens/video/7566672113323560222?lang=en  Chappell Roan at the National Horse Show: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQf0kTcDv_t/  Miley Stewart isn’t Hannah Montana…Cam Dicker is: https://www.tiktok.com/@chargers/video/7567119748417195295?lang=en  Ms. Terry (aka Nick Saban’s wife)  is all of us: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQnRrDjDrxA/  Blake’s IG: @blaaakkkke Caroline’s IG: @cghendy theSkimm’s IG: @theskimm Want more sports?

    Bieber Balls Out, a Taylor Touchdown Celly, and College Football’s Firing Boom

    It was a big week in basketball news. Justin Bieber played in a rec league designed for “CEOs, VIPs, and people from all walks of life” (you may raise your eyebrows) while the NBA faces two scandals of its own. One deals with illegal sports betting and rigged poker games. The other? Jaylen Brown’s hairline. Also: Blake and Caroline surprise each other with sporty Halloween costumes for the pod, so watching on YouTube or Spotify is a must this week. In this week’s episode, we also discuss:  The moment we became Justin Fields stans A World Series game so crazy, Blake and Caroline are even intrigued  U.S. Soccer’s work to support pregnant and post-partum players on the USWNT  Why getting fired as a college football coach is almost as lucrative as being an active one  How to watch the NWSL Decision Day games this coming Sunday Send Its:  The Lions fan who welcomed a new member into the fandom: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQPezPlgcIC/?img_index=2&igsh=NHU0NWI4ajRuYW14 Panthers players got us feeling old: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQKT1fSkRJC/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link  The A’ja Wilson effect on Bam Adebayo’s game: https://www.instagram.com/p/DQO_avMga6L/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==  Travis Kelce hits the “The Fate of Ophelia” touchdown celly: https://www.tiktok.com/@courtneymarycrain/video/7566093931478273335  Blake’s IG: @blaaakkkke Caroline’s IG: @cghendy theSkimm’s IG: @theskimm Want more sports?

  4. Simone’s First Flip Back, Sho-Time at the Series, and the Gross Trend in Women’s Sports Betting

    OCT 22

    Simone’s First Flip Back, Sho-Time at the Series, and the Gross Trend in Women’s Sports Betting

    Shohei Ohtani showed us why he’s Him while the uncs of the NFL faced off in Thursday Night Football. Vintage Joe Flacco and Aaron Rodgers game to play, which left fans with a 2010s sense of whimsy. Simpler times. Meanwhile, Simone Biles flipped for the first time since getting her new cherries (IYKYK) and NFL WAGs Kylie Kelce and Olivia Culpo got clear on two things: 1) men need to stop saying “we’re pregnant” when expecting a baby and 2) that becoming a mom will probably give you an identity crisis – and that’s OK.  In this episode of Well Played, we also cover:  Drake Maye putting up Tom Brady-esque numbers Which WNBA star is Dallas Cowboys’ CeeDee Lamb’s good luck charm Why Mike Vrabel always addresses women first in press conferences  Whether Joe Burrow is emo or dressing up as Conrad Fischer from “The Summer I Turned Pretty” for Halloween Thanks to our presenting sponsor, Beats!

    Timmy Takes Kylie to the Ballgame, Women Track Stars Get their Purse, and Frat Bros Run the Giants

    Thursday night was tough for the city of Brotherly love. The Eagles, Phillies, and Flyers fell to their foes. Giants rookies Cam Skattebo and Jaxson Dart – aka the frat bros running the Giants – showed Jalen Hurts and friends who’s boss. Meanwhile, we learned the solution to the so-called male loneliness epidemic: gather hundreds of male sports fans, let them take their shirts off, and swing in unison. Turns out camaraderie might just be the secret sauce. In this episode of Well Played, we also cover:  Which Olympian recognized us at ATHLOS, the women’s only track-and-field invitational (yes, this is a brag) Whether Baker Mayfield is Him, aka: MVP Why Phoenix Mercury fans actually stayed after the WNBA Finals (hint: it has nothing to do with good sportsmanship Our favorite Send Its of the week, including the Colts cheerleaders winning our hearts, the Parent Trap nostalgia on DWTS, and the star-studded Lakers pre-season hype video Send Its:  Lakers pre-season hype video: ⁠https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/46533657/los-angeles-lakers-natalia-bryant-preseason-hype-video⁠ Colts cheerleaders win us over: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/p/DPuHdh4ARBU/⁠ / ⁠https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPlw-b8jZje/⁠  Timmy takes Kylie to the ball game: ⁠https://people.com/timothee-chalamet-kylie-jenner-step-out-at-yankees-game-day-after-revealed-new-shaved-head-11827077⁠ Elaine Hendrix and Lisa Ann Walter reenact our favorite Parent Trap scene: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/p/DPrNR41ke8Q/⁠  Caroline’s IG: ⁠@cghendy⁠ Blake’s IG: ⁠@blaaakkkke⁠ theSkimm’s IG: ⁠@theskimm⁠ Want more sports?

    OCT 8

    Hockey (Smut)’s New Fans, Wide Receiver Divas, and Travis’ Wood with Gisele Thompson

    Heads up — this episode may contain references to Taylor Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl.” Actually – it definitely will. You’re welcome, Swifties (Caroline). Sorry skeptics (Blake). The NFL’s week 5 delivered on upsets, which has some analysts saying that Drake Maye has arrived, Trevor Lawrence can’t fumble, and Jalen Hurts’ offense needs help. It’s us. We’re analysts.  In this episode of Well Played, we also cover:  A Caroline-approved haiku about week 5, written by Blake  AJ Brown not beating the wide-receiver diva allegations How Cathy Engelbert responded to Napheesa Collier’s scorched-Earth presser  Dissecting the hate Ayesha Curry received for her Call Her Daddy interview How Gisele Thompson really feels about playing without her sister + former teammate, Alyssa Thompson Send Its:  Reese Witherspoon gives advice to highdiver Molly Carlson: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPUGhmvDdKW/  CeeDee Lamb is…daddy?: https://www.tiktok.com/@flockcarter/video/7557773703849823518  Jerry Jones apparently flips the bird at Jets fans: https://www.instagram.com/p/DPcthGgjP_3/?img_index=1&igsh=d3N0amcyMTdnOGQ  Isaac Rochelle references (almost) every track from “The Life of a Show Girl”: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPckmk8kQL5/?igsh=Y3Zveng1d2ZpcDRo  Gisele’s IG: @giselethomp  Caroline’s IG: @cghendy Blake’s IG: @blaaakkkke theSkimm’s IG: @theskimm Want more sports?

  7. Napheesa Comes for Cathy, the NFL’s Turf Curse, and Micah Parsons Plays His Ex

    OCT 1

    Napheesa Comes for Cathy, the NFL’s Turf Curse, and Micah Parsons Plays His Ex

    Napheesa Collier went scorched earth. In her season exit interview, she publicly called out Cathy Engelbert and WNBA leadership for their lack of accountability around some of the most pressing issues facing players. Blake and Caroline break down the WNBA drama from last week, starting with Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve’s $15,000 fine and suspension to Collier’s mic-drop moment. With the CBA deadline coming up at the end of the month, time will tell how her statement will affect negotiations – and the future of the league.  In this episode of Well Played, we also cover:  Why Odell Beckham Jr. called MetLife “DeathLife” after Malik Nabers’ ACL tear A passionate monologue from Caroline on why ties need to be banned in pro-sports Micah Parson’s feelings about his non-refundable field-level suite at Cowboys stadium Team Europe’s reaction to the harassment Rory McIlroy’s wife faced at the Ryder Cup Smelling salts: Y/N (Aaron Rodgers says yes) Send Its:  SMU volleyballer Natalia Newsome’s 40-inch vertical: https://www.instagram.com/p/DPEcz5DjTDz/?img_index=1&igsh=MTNlNTEzZHp2cXp3Ng== Detroit Lions endzone celly: https://www.instagram.com/p/DPJuV-WEU9G/  Angel City FC’s Claire Emslie proving women can do anything: https://www.instagram.com/p/DPJuV-WEU9G/?hl=en RIP to a real one, Roscoe Hamilton: https://www.instagram.com/p/DPMB7EUDGID/?hl=en  Caroline’s IG: @cghendy Blake’s IG: @blaaakkkke theSkimm’s IG: @theskimm Want more sports?

    Anna Hall. Simone Biles. Olivia Culpo. The WAGs are defrosting – and we didn’t know how badly we needed it. Simone served sideline looks with her custom Jonathan Owens gear while Olivia got real on her post-baby bod. In other barely sports news, the cast of Bring It On brought it back with a reunion that might have you feeling old. Don’t worry, us too.
