This episode of The Sports Gossip Show is going to be a little different. Madeline is on vacation, so Charlotte takes you through a few of the major stories in sports before getting to a pre-recorded mailbag episode (starting at 13:15) with the two of them (because of course the dynamic duo still makes an appearance!). 

The updates start with March Madness and Charlotte’s UConn/Duke bias, but don’t worry, she’ll explain (1:34). Notre Dame’s Olivia Miles shocked the basketball world by deciding to stay in college instead of going to the WNBA draft, where she was projected to be taken second — but there’s a catch. She’s entering the transfer portal! LeBron James started another media beef, this time with ESPN’s Brian Windhorst on The Pat McAfee Show (6:07). Savannah James is starting a new beauty line, but Madeline needs to be the one to talk about this. The Yankees had an MIT physicist design new bats for them (10:09), and the Timberwolves and Pistons got into a huge fight on the court. Tom Brady has a fake new girlfriend (it was just his friend’s wife going to a party with him, at which the friend was at) (12:17), and Tiger Woods is doing too much for April Fool’s Day (12:17).

Then, it’s time for the mailbag (13:15): the gals answer a bunch of questions! Including: Is Jordon Hudson being a good momager for Bill Belichick? Funniest current sports gossip stories to tell non-sports friends (14:46 )? Like the Mahomes, if you had to name children after a theme what names would you pick (20:33)? What sports generate the most gossip (23:35)? Who is the best power couple in sports? What sports needs to be more dramatic? What sports did Madeline and Charlotte play growing up(34:48)? Favorite story each of them have written/covered (40:33)?

The show starts off with a little birthday talk, because Charlotte is a year older today! The gals then dive right into some fun announcements. Tennis star Ben Shelton medium-launch soccer star Trinity Rodman on Instagram, and wide receiver DK Metcalf is engaged to singer Normani (a discussion about wedding florals ensues). Track star Gabby Thomas is also engaged! Plus: Is announcing your engagement in legacy media cool again? 

Then it’s March Madness time! Juju Watkins, the star player for USC, is out for the season (and possibly longer) with an ACL tear. But, before she got hurt, she and Jayden Daniels, quarterback for the Commanders, were spotted hanging out… with his mom. UConn’s star Paige Bueckers is helping her teammates and balling out while doing so. Amir Khan, the student manager for McNeese State, is the first student manager to get NIL deals. What do the gals need to do to go viral like this? And UConn men’s coach, Dan Hurley, got very angry on camera!

Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump, Donald Trump Jr.’s ex-wife, are dating, and Tiger posted a very hard launch on Instagram. The caption is bizarre, and the photos are even weirder, so the gals break it all down (also, never forget that Tiger Woods once dated LeAnn Rimes). Also, apparently the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, got Bill Belichick the UNC job? Sophia Bush, actress and girlfriend of soccer player Ashlyn Harris, was spotted with the initials SBH on her phone case — are they married?? Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra’s ex-wife, Nikki, was rumored to be hooking up with young Heat star Jamie Jaquez Jr…but she quickly debunked that in an Instagram Reel. 

Quick Aaron Rodgers update: He’s not employed, and Madeline is worried. Plus: UMiami quarterback Carson Beck and UMiami basketball star Hanna Cavinder broke up. And the Mavs are still struggling.

Most of you probably know this by now, but Bill Belichick — former Patriots head coach and current UNC head coach — has a much-younger girlfriend named Jordon Hudson. Now, Madeline and Charlotte have been talking about this story for as long as this show has existed. But recent events have catapulted Bill and Jordon into the news even more, so they’ve put together a timeline of the relationship, complete with analysis. Listeners asked, so you shall receive. 

It starts off with last week’s news — that Bill asked UNC communications staff to CC Jordon on all of his emails. Bill and Jordon also posed in very acrobatic ways on the beach. Thank you to everyone who reached out to the gals in light of these developments. 

The show starts at the beginning: When Bill and Jordon met on a plane in 2021. The story takes some crazy turns from there, and involves philosophy, meeting on a plane, cheerleading conventions, The Roast of Tom Brady, social media, corn mazes, mermaid and fisherman Halloween costumes, Ring camera footage, a feud with Boston radio, the University of North Carolina, the president of Croatia (???), the Super Bowl, Maine fishermen, trad wives, and, finally, AcroYoga on the beach. 

The gals also talk about what this relationship — and the fascination with it — says about gender roles in America right now, and how maybe Jordon and Bill are soul mates after all. 

Madeline and Charlotte are very excited to welcome Kelsey McKinney to the show! Kelsey is the foremost expert on gossip, having written The New York Times and USA Today bestseller You Didn’t Hear This From Me: (Mostly) True Notes on Gossip, a co-owner and features writer at Defector, and one of the co-creators of the hit podcast Normal Gossip.

Kelsey is also a die-hard Philadelphia sports fan and sports gossip enthusiast. She joins the show to talk about her great new book, and the importance of sports gossip. She helps the gals answer some very important questions, such as: Why does it matter how we talk about sports? 

Are sports statistics actually just vibes? Is gossip actually the best way to bet on sports? Should you adopt the team of the city you live in if you didn’t grow up there? Are the Phillies cursed because they’re playing the wrong version of a Robyn song? Why do recreational and youth sports breed so much gossip? How is gossip about in-groups and out-groups? Is gossiping about one person actually the best way to make a sports team successful? Are there rules to gossip? 

The episode ends with Kelsey telling the gals the most amazing pieces of gossip related to a Super Bowl they’ve ever heard.

Welcome back to another episode of the Sports Gossip Show! We start out with a few cute announcements: UWNT star Sophia Smith and Arizona Cardinals' wide receiver, Michael Wilson, are expecting a baby! So are Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey, and both couples posted announcements that get the gals talking about the types of athlete baby announcements. The 49ers cut Kirstin Juszczyk’s husband Kyle — Kristin just launched a clothing brand, Offseason, and is known for making amazing garments out of NFL jerseys. Sorry to Kyle, but maybe his new team will spark another creative idea for his wife. 

LeBron James went up to ESPN’s Stephen A Smith after a Lakers game and told him to stop talking about his son, Bronny, who famously became an NBA player last year. Stephen A is taking this and running with it! And honestly, the gals are pretty confused at this point! But that doesn’t stop them from having many thoughts. The Sixers got booed at WWE Smackdown in Philadelphia, because Philly fans are nothing if not consistent. And Timothée Chalamet took Kylie Jenner to the Indian Wells tennis tournament, and the resulting video is…very funny. 

UNC head coach Bill Belichick and his girlfriend Jordon Hudson are still doing the most at the University of North Carolina. Plus, an unconfirmed Sports Gossip Show scoop about why Hard Knocks isn’t happening there. We’re just asking questions! Detroit Pistons player Malik Beasley’s wife, Montana Yao, filed for legal separation. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had dinner with Michael Jordan, because Hurts is now a Jordan Brand athlete. Michael Jordan, come on the pod! 

And here’s a news item we didn’t have on our sports bingo card: Former Canada Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding was added to FBI’s 10 most wanted list for allegedly running an international drug ring and orchestrating murders related to it. Finally, we check in with our guy (lol) Aaron Rodgers, who might be the quarterback of a new team by the time you read this. He allegedly wanted to go to the Rams…did he listen to us and consult his astrocartography chart??

The Sports Gossip Show is back! Madeline has a bone to pick with Dave and Buster’s, and Charlotte wishes the internet were never invented. Anyway, onwards! 

This week starts with a salute to Diana Taurasi, who retired after 20 years with the Mercury. Then, some reporting from Madeline on NBA Centel, the parody account on X that briefly went away last week. Is there internal turmoil in the Centel universe? Speaking of the NBA, the Lakers are playing out of their minds and the Mavs are falling apart. Kyrie Irving blew out his knee and ownership is now…raising prices? This somehow leads to an important conversation about t-shirts.

Some personal news: Travis Kelce, tight end for the Chiefs, is not retiring after all. The gals speculate as to why he’s coming back. Did his girlfriend Taylor Swift help him make the decision? Plus, Wes from this season of The Traitors weighed in and said he knew Travis and Taylor were dating for months before anyone else knew. Madeline and Charlotte go on a very important journey about which reality shows they’d like to be on.

Bill Belichick and his girlfriend, Jordan Hudson, are once again up to stuff. They will not appear on the reality show Hard Knocks, after it seemed like a done deal. Creative control seemed to be the problem, and the gals speculate that Jordon wanted to be in charge more than producers were willing to let her. Jordon recently weighed in on politics, and the gals are pretty sure she’s playing the long game for something. 

Former Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers may play for the Giants this year, and the gals think he needs to check his astrocartography before he signs up. Speaking of the Jets, the players graded ownership, and owner Woody Johnson got an F. Plus, the Cincinnati Bengals need to be better when it comes to families. Maybe toxic workplaces aren’t great! Then, in MLS news, the Houston Dynamo apologized that Inter Miami star Lionel Messi didn’t play in Houston, and gave fans a free ticket to another game. The Mavericks should pay attention!

The Sports Gossip Show is back with another episode full of all the athletic drama you could dream of. Madeline and Charlotte start out with a proposal — Milwaukee Bucks player Kyle Kuzma is engaged to supermodel Winnie Harlow! The happy couple celebrated with the time-honored tradition of athlete-style flower arrangements and an announcement in Vogue, the 30 Under 30 of weddings. UConn basketball star Paige Bueckers was featured in GQ magazine, and she looked phenomenal. 

The gals dig into the New York Yankees new policy that will allow, for the first time in close to 50 years, facial hair. Are the Yankees the sorority girls of baseball? The gals discuss. Reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen saved the launch party of his fiancée, actress Hailee Steinfeld, by ripping open a vending machine. Speaking of physical strength, the 4 Nations hockey tournament was a display of athleticism, politics, and fistfights. 

San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembenyama is sadly out for the rest of the season with a blood clot in his shoulder, which brings up the question, “who is the face of the NBA?” And some talk about how cool the French are. JJ Reddick, coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, has been giving some amazing locker room speeches lately, and NFL champion A.J. Brown bought a mannequin to display his unwashed uniform. Plus: Timothée Chalamet played poker with LeBron James’ agent, Rich Paul, and Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla is once again saying weird stuff.

Welcome to the first-ever mailbag episode of The Sports Gossip Show! Madeline and Charlotte loved getting your questions and going through them — some real bangers on the show today. 

The gals start off by telling you all how they got in touch and why they started a podcast together before they ever met in person. Then: Who has the better house, former Arizona Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury, or Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker (and are they in the same gated community)?

A question for the ages: What old sports gossip do the gals wish SGS was around for (lookin’ at you, Tiger, Taylor, and Larsa and Marcus)? Then, Madeline explains what a PR relationship is for celebrities and how they come to be. If SGS could ’ship one celebrity and an athlete, who would it be (and why would it be hoping that Laura Dern and Baron Davis get back together)? 

As always, the Jordon Hudson and Bill Belichick portion of the show: What should their celebrity name be? Best sporting event each of your intrepid hosts have been to? How did Madeline and Charlotte get into sports and what’s a good way to get your kids into them? What’s the best guess as to Tom Brady’s daily routine? And, the question you’ve all been waiting for: Will we get a Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce engagement announcement in 2025?

Then, some fun stuff: The Sports Gossip Show shares beauty routines, favorite clothing brands, and other very, very important information. 

The Sports Gossip Show is back, and after a quick detour about SNL 50, Madeline and Charlotte get into this week’s hot sports goss. First, a Valentine’s Day update on the most talked about couple in the sports world — UNC coach Bill Belichick and his young girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. Then, after watching Kylie Kelce’s interview with Alex Cooper on Call Her Daddy, the gals do a little bit of detective work on Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.

An NBA All-Star Weekend post-mortem: The events were weird, for a number of reasons. Madeline and Charlotte talk about how LiAngelo Ball performed, Mac McClung won the dunk contest for the third time in a row, MrBeast was there, and Inside The NBA got a fake funeral. Bring back All-Stars dunking! Hire The Sports Gossip Show to consult on All-Star, they’ll fix it.

A very important news item about Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker and his girlfriend, supermodel Kendall Jenner. They were spotted skiing in Aspen, and the gals provide a few very important facts about the place where they had lunch. Then, Charlotte floats a conspiracy theory about LeBron James and the Luka Doncic trade re: the Mavericks — could it have to do with Las Vegas? Listen to find out. 

Paige Bueckers, UConn basketball star, tried to sneak away from an interview, which was somehow very relatable. Napheesa Collier won a tournament in her new Unrivaled league and made as much money in 30 minutes as she does in one WNBA season. Aaron Rodgers has indicated that he wants to play next season, which is the best news Madeline has ever heard. And finally: Which is it? A quote from Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla or a line that got cut from the movie The Town?

The Sports Gossip Show is thrilled to announce the gal’s first-ever in-person guest,Katie Nolan! You know her and love her from various stops at Fox Sports and ESPN, and now she’s here with her fantastic new show,Casuals, a Sirius XM podcast. 

Katie sat down withMadeline andCharlotte to dish about the biggest stories in sports at the moment, as well as some all-time favorites. They talk about the big Luka Doncic trade and continued fall-out that the Dallas Mavericks’ organization is dealing with, and a messy situation the Lakers’ have gotten themselves into involving a trade that didn’t happen. Katie ties her beloved Boston Bruins into the whole mess, as any good Boston sports fan is obligated to do. 

Katie and Madeline shame Charlotte for never watching the Real Housewives franchise, and talk about the best moments in Housewives history that overlapped with the sports world (spoiler alert: Larsa Pippen, Jen Shah, if you know, you know). 

The gals also get into the mess that was the New England Patriots at the height of their powers, and the mess that now surrounds former head coach Bill Belichick and his young girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. Katie talks about how we’ve come to expect a certain way of being from Belichick, and when he suddenly does a 180 at his age, we’re all a little confused. 

Other topics include dressing yourself, the end of Twitter (or X, whatever), LeBron’s choice of words, and then Charlotte leaves Madeline and Katie with a shocking revelation about who Tom Sandoval reminds her of (watchthis and thenthis and tell her she's wrong).
