    JuJu’s Bad Juju, Lindsey Vonn Makes a Comeback, and Athletes Go IG Official

    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 Trinity and Ben  Lindsey Vonn's triumphant milestone How many billions women’s sports will generate in revenue this year The women college hoopers opening up about their mental health struggles March Madness drama that has nothing to do with on-the-court action Caroline’s Instagram: @cghendy Blake’s Instagram: @blaaakkkke theSkimm’s Instagram: @theskimm Learn more about your ad choices.

    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.

    Timmy and Kylie Take Indian Wells, Tennis Scores a Mat Leave Win, and the Lip Readers Take On LeBron

    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.

    Harry Runs in Style(s), Serena Splurges (on a WNBA Team), and LeBron Calls Out the Haters Ft. Lexie Brown

    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 with Love, Your Mind.  In this episode of Well Played, we’ll also cover: Why one NFL team’s treatment of families was deemed “almost disrespectful”  Whether Travis will keep giving Swifties a reason to pay attention to the NFL  Who Simone Biles gave a heartwarming shout out to  Our top Send Its of the week, including Coco Gauff and Timothée Chalamet matching at the Oscars, Serena trading tennis for basketball, and Paul George’s retirement from podcasting  Follow Lexie: @lexiebrown Lexie’s podcast: Full Circle  Love, Your Mind resources: loveyourmindtoday.org  Love, Your Mind IG: @love_yourmind Blake’s IG: @blaaakkkke Caroline’s IG: @cghendy Learn more about your ad choices.

    Bieber Hits the Ice, Yankees Let Their Hair Down, and the Terrifying Trend Facing Women Athletes

    It’s 2025, so why do we have to tell people to stop stalking women in sports?

    NBA All Star Agony, 4 Nations Face Off (and Fist Fight), and UCONN Snaps a Streak

    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: Why the NBA revamped the All-Star game format, and why fans still hated it  Wemby and Chris Paul exploiting a loophole in the skills challenge  How the list of the top-100 highest paid athletes in 2024 includes zero women  Women’s college hoops heating up with No. 7 UCONN’s win over No. 4 USC Our top “Send Its” of the week including Saquon pulling a ball boy into the Eagles parade, Lebron ditching the All Star game to work out with his daughter, and the three-peat winner of the dunk contest Caroline’s Instagram: @cghendy Blake’s Instagram: @blaaakkkke theSkimm’s Instagram: @theskimm Learn more about your ad choices.

    Eagles Fly, Kendrick Flares, and the Football Fellas Do Fashion

    While the actual Super Bowl game might’ve been boring, Blake and Caroline found plenty to talk about: like Jalen Hurts winning the MVP, Travis Kelce’s post-game walk of shame, and whether or not the Eagles are poised to become a dynasty. In this episode of Well Played, we’ll also cover: Why this was a Super Bowl for haters of all kinds  Decoding Kendrick’s halftime performance  How many times Taylor Swift was shown during the game (hint: not a lot) The women who won the Super Bowl, including the first Black woman coach and Jalen Hurts’ management team  Our top Send Its for the week, including Bradley Cooper’s side hustle, Nike’s first commercial in almost 30 years, and a rapid fire round of fashion police  Caroline’s Instagram: @cghendy Blake’s Instagram: @blaaakkkke theSkimm’s Instagram: @theskimm Learn more about your ad choices.

    It’s Super Bowl week, but the drama in the sports world never stops.
