The Sports Gossip Show is delighted to announce its first-ever guest — and she sets a high bar. She’s an NFL analyst for ESPN’s NFL Live, appears on Get Up, SportsCenter, First Take, and more…you may also know her from her podcast The Mina Kimes Show featuring Lenny and on her Love Is Blind recap show, Love Is Kimes. 

Please welcome the Sports Gossip Show’s first ever guest, the one and only Mina Kimes!

Mina joins Madeline and Charlotte to preview the AFC/NFC Championship games this Sunday, and the conversation covers everything you need to know to make watching the games even more interesting. They talk about the Taylor Swift vs. Hailee Steinfeld bowl (Chiefs-Bills), the incredible rise of Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels and why moms taking pictures with celebrities is one of life’s inevitabilities, the karmic justice of Washington being great after Dan Snyder sells the team, Eagles running back Saquon Barkley’s “inner glow,” the Taylor Swiftification that would be a Chiefs three-peat, and much more. 

Plus: Mina shares her Roman Empire of sports gossip — aka the story she still thinks about seven years later. Hint: it involves Jimmy Garoppolo and a specific date he went on.
