September 17, 2025Joe Burrow’s Turf Toe, Carlie’s Colts Kill It, and Taylor Makes an Entrance with Ali Krieger
We’re pouring one out for the Bengals’ Joey B, who’s out for the next three months recovering from turf toe. Blake begs the question: why couldn’t it be a sexier injury? Elsewhere in the midwest, the Colts are killing it for the first time in *checks watch* a long time. Some say it’s thanks to the new QB on the block, Daniel “Indiana” Jones. Our verdict? It’s thanks to Carlie Irsay-Gordon, who’s been prepping her whole life for this. Plus, we catch up with former USWNT member, Ali Krieger, about life post-retirement and what cross-sport solidarity means for the future of women’s sports.

September 10, 2025Swifties Enlist for Travis, Spitgate Suspensions, and Sabalenka’s Equal Pay Purse with the WNBA’s Kate Martin
NFL Week 1 served up more drama than we could chew. Josh Allen & co. pulled off a comeback for the ages (yes, we know it’s only Week 1). Swifties mobilized to defend Taylor’s fiancé after a slap on the field. And a bright green dildo made its NFL debut – cue Caroline’s public apology for potentially playing a part. Plus, Golden State Valkyries star Kate Martin joins us to talk about making franchise history and reacting to Caitlin Clark’s season-ending injury.

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

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

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:
