This week, we’re deep in the chaos where sports, pop culture, and PR disasters collide. From Lindsey Vonn’s unbothered “ACL, shmay-C-L” Olympic energy to the NHL pausing its season for Italy, the kids officially taking over tennis, and a charity stunt that left fans saying “just give him the money,” the sports world is loud. On the society side, Bad Bunny solidifies global domination, Kanye West’s public apology sparks rebrand debates, Fourth Wing fans spiral over new updates, and we say goodbye to The Kelly Clarkson Show while honoring the incomparable Catherine O’Hara. Then Chelsea breaks down the internet’s favorite mess: the Beckham family drama hitting sibling-fracture levels and Ashley Tisdale becoming the accidental face of anti-mean-girl mom culture. Sides are chosen, takes are flying, and the timeline is absolutely not at peace.

This week on The SASS, we start with a quick huddle — Seattle playoff superstition doing what it does, a few league shakeups that felt very on brand, Olympic moments you’ll want to bookmark, and pop-culture chaos that absolutely lit up the group chat.

Then we zoom out into a bigger conversation: healthcare in professional sports. Why some players are suiting up just to stay insured, while the big wigs secure lifetime coverage without ever breaking a sweat — and why that math feels especially wild right now, with the WNBA in active negotiations.

Same leagues. Same bodies. Very different benefits.

See you in the huddle.

The SASS Squad is closing out 2025 with a huddle so packed it needs its own highlight reel. From Mahomes’ season‑ending ACL tear and Michigan’s coaching chaos to Team USA women dominating hockey and the NWSL dropping a game‑changing salary rule, the sports world has not taken a holiday break. On the society side, we’re talking the new Euphoria teaser, Hailee + Josh baby news, Beyoncé and Venus Williams co‑chairing the Met Gala, and Bad Bunny knocking Taylor Swift off the Spotify throne. Then the crew fires off their boldest 2026 predictions before heading into the new year with full SASS energy.

This episode kicks off with quick hits from around sports and culture — including Gotham FC’s underdog championship run — before diving into the internet’s latest obsession: the Sports Smut Pipeline.

We break down how spicy athlete romance books are turning BookTok readers into legit sports fans, why women are suddenly boosting viewership in unexpected places, and what this says about the future of fandom.

And of course, the real question:
Is this actually objectifying men, or are people just uncomfortable with women being loud, thirsty, and unapologetically into sports?

Spice, stats, and cultural chaos — all in one episode.

This week on The SASS, we’re diving into the glitz of Grammy nominations, the grit of marathon milestones, and the glossy drama of Bearista cups, cloned pups, and toddler skincare. Then we roll up our sleeves for a deep dive into the high-stakes world of sports betting—where the lines blur between entertainment, addiction, and regulation.

This week on The SASS, we’re covering everything from cleats to curtain calls. The Women’s Pro Baseball League steps up to the plate, Cam Skattebo takes a tough hit, and the FBI drops the hammer on insider betting. Over in society, Coleman Domingo roars into Wicked, Disney villains refuse to retire, and TJ Holmes and Amy Robach go from newsroom drama to engagement rings.

This week on The SASS, the squad rounds up the biggest sport and society headlines from the past two weeks.

It’s all the buzzy moments, no fluff—just your biweekly dose of sport, culture, and a little bit of sass.

This week on The SASS, we’re serving up playoff champagne, robot umps, and a whole lot of pop culture chaos. JuJu’s out, the Mariners are in, and Bad Bunny’s about to light up the Super Bowl. Plus, Selena Gomez got hitched, Cardi B’s bump made its debut, and Solange is giving us a whole digital library. It’s sports, it’s society, it’s spicy—and we’re here for all of it.

The SASS Squad is back for Season 2 with a fresh format—weekly huddle highlights and one deep-dive story. Wahidah runs through the biggest sports and society headlines, from NFL injuries to the VMAs. Then Chelsea breaks down the engagement of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, aka the Super Bowl of celebrity love stories. Plus, the squad plays a triple-threat prediction game to wrap it all up. Stay sharp, stay sassy!

For our last episode of the season, we kept it short and spicy. We ran through the week’s biggest sports and pop culture headlines, then looked ahead with some bold predictions—think Beyoncé going rock, WNBA viewership overtaking the NBA, AI changing the sports game, and maybe even a Tom Brady–Sydney Sweeney situationship. Thanks for riding with us all season. See you in Season 2!
