September 03, 2025Naomi Osaka’s Return, Arch Manning’s It-Boy Status, and Glen Powell Goes Collegiate with Kristin Juszczyk
Did you miss us? Cause we missed you. We’re inching closer to the end of Honey Deuce season, AKA: the end of the US Open. Coming out of the weekend, convos surrounding Naomi Osaka’s return to dominance flooded our feeds. Her talents brought her this far, but we’re convinced Billie Jean Bling and Althea Glitterson – her sparkly Labubu sidekicks – will bring her to the end. Plus, a recap on the first weekend in college football and a look ahead at week 1 of the NFL season.

August 12, 2025Taylor Swift’s Big Reveal on New Heights, Ronaldo Put a Rock On It, and The Summer Everyone Watched Women’s Sports
Swiftie skeptics, this one's for you. Caroline successfully pulled Blake into the buzz around Taylor Swift’s album drop on boyfriend Travis Kelce’s pod, “New Heights”. And spoiler alert: the theories came true after a 10 PM Instagram tease from Miss Swift herself. Doesn’t she know we’re in bed by then? In other sporty-ish news, Cristiano Ronaldo gifted his now fiancée Georgina Rodriguez a rock – not a ring – and Tom Brady edges closer and closer to a mid-life crash out after seeing his statue outside of Gillette Stadium.

August 06, 2025Trinity Rodman’s Big Comeback, Cyclists Losing Their Periods for the Podium, and Luka Dončić’s Hot Boy Summer
Trinity Rodman is so back. After spending months sidelined with a back injury, the Washington Spirit forward made her return and scored a game-winning goal. Tears, hugs, and a vulnerable celebration ensued. Blake and Caroline also dive into why the women’s Tour de France has some cyclists talking about periods, infertility, and overtraining.

July 29, 2025Travis’ Engagement Era, Jokic’s Horse Girl Energy, and Bend It Like Beckham’s Back
This episode of Well Played was recorded before a shooting in New York City on Monday in which the NFL headquarters may have been the target. Police say a gunman armed with a long gun killed at least five people in a Manhattan office building, including himself.
While a motive has not been confirmed, authorities say a note found in the shooter’s wallet referenced the brain disease CTE. We want to note that week’s episode includes conversations about football and the NFL that were recorded prior to news of the shooting.

Mr. Taylor Swift – aka Travis Kelce – singlehandedly brought us Christmas in July with a 13-photo Instagram dump featuring mostly him and Taylor. Blake and Caroline discuss deeply important info about the couple, including thoughts on Travis losing his 90s heartthrob hair, their potential engagement era, and Travis’ cameo in Happy Gilmore 2. Meanwhile, Sophie Cunningham shared the punishment she received for telling refs how she really feels about them via TikTok.
In this episode of Well Played, we also cover:
Freaking out over Hailee Steinfeld mentioning Well Played in her newsletter, Beau Society

Who’s backing up Micah Parsons for being Jerry Jones’ public enemy of the week

Nikola Jokic proving he’s just a horse-lover who happens to be great at basketball

July 22, 2025Caitlin Claps Back, Happy Gilmore Returns, and a Very Hailee Hard Knocks
The WNBA All Stars made a statement with just six words on a black shirt that read, “Pay Us What You Owe Us.” The tension continues to mount between the league and its players, who are asking for better pay and work conditions in their new CBA. But after an awkward press conference – where one All Star threw another under the bus – fans were left wondering what the strategy is and how they’ll accomplish it without some solidarity.
In this episode of Well Played, we also cover:
A long recap of Caroline’s wedding and mini-moon and an even longer recap about Blake’s trip to the All Star Game

The real story behind the Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd hard launch

Which celebs – and how many – make a cameo in the Happy Gilmore sequel

July 15, 2025Meg thee Stallion Cuffs Klay, Sinner and Świątek Slay, and Tobin Heath’s Next Play
Meg thee Stallion is the newest NBA WAG. While we love to see our girl happy, we’re a little concerned about what it all means for Hot Girl Summer going forward. Across the pond, Swiatek and Sinner swept the Wimby finals, and the Royal family got first-row seats to the action…except for seven-year-old Prince Louis, who respectfully declined to show face. He’s not beating the iPad kid allegations.
In this episode of Well Played, we also cover:

July 09, 2025Courting Season at Wimbledon, Burrow’s Batmobile Reversal, and Live Tasting the Strawberry Pasta
Wimbledon’s serving more than just tennis. Celebs donned their Wimbledon whites while several top-seeded players bid us a “pip-pip cheerio” in early exits. Only three Americans remain, including Ben Shelton, who’s racking up wins and admirers – just ask Trinity Rodman. In other tennis news, Iga Swiatek shared her favorite post-game meal of strawberry and sour cream pasta. Naturally, Blake and Caroline had to try it live.
In this episode of Well Played, we also cover:

July 01, 2025LeBron’s Farewell Tour, Brady-Sweeney Sweetness, and the WNBA Expands
This week in Pretty Boys of the NFL, Tom Brady apparently hit it off with Sydney Sweeney at the Bezos-Sànchez wedding across the pond in Venice. Blake begs the very important question — can Tom Brady even flirt? Back home, Tight End University kicked off, where players came for the football and stayed for an impromptu Taylor Swift concert. Thanks, Travis.
In this episode of Well Played, we also cover:
A recap of our time in the Stubhub suite for a recent Liberty game

Kelsey Plum sharing the real reason many WNBA stars are in a shooting slump

Ben Shelton confirming what Caroline knew to be true – butter yellow is in

June 24, 2025Paige and Azzi Hard Launch, OKC’s Gen Z Kings, and Aaron Rodgers’ (Fake) Marriage
It was a winning week for Gen-Z ballers. Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd finally hard-launched their relationship on Instagram after months of speculation. Then, the Oklahoma City Thunder won the NBA Championship with an average roster age of 24.7. Subtract a couple of pandemic years (girl math), and they’re basically 22. Their post-win celebration? Let's just say it reflected their age.
In this episode of Well Played, we also cover:
The only woman who could get Stephen A. Smith to… stop talking

How Sophie Cunningham stood on business — and what it reveals about WNBA reffing

Tom Brady proving yet again that he’s the GOAT at Fanatics Fest
