Swifties Enlist for Travis, Spitgate Suspensions, and Sabalenka’s Equal Pay Purse with the WNBA’s Kate Martin

Listen Later

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.

In this episode of Well Played, we also cover:

  • A wild fun fact about winners of the US Open, Aryna Sabalenka and Carlos Alcaraz
  • The iconic title given to Ben Shelton at Trinity Rodman’s recent match
  • How Chelsea FC Women is destigmatizing playing while on their periods
