It’s the week after the Masters, and there’s a lot to unpack. First, Madeline and Charlotte trade off some fun facts about the Masters, and talk about how pro golf is basically Comic-Con. Then it’s time to dive into all the drama surrounding Rory McIlroy and his historic win on Sunday — it involves fellow golfer Bryson DeChambeau, former tennis star Caroline Wozniacki, and his current wife, Erica Stoll. It also involves Tiger Woods’ divorce lawyer. 

The WNBA draft took place last night, and UConn star Paige Bueckers went No. 1 overall as expected, and managed to make the moment about her teammates because she seems absolutely delightful. ESPN’s Holly Rowe appears to have hard-launched basketball star Hailey Van Lith and NBA star Jalen Sugg’s relationship, the Golden State Valkyrie’s Shayenne Sellers got engaged and drafted in the same week, and everybody in basketball knows everyone else. Plus — the emergence of super athletes. 

An update on the Denver Nuggets’ firing of head coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth with only three games left in the regular season. Team president Josh Kroenke acknowledged that the timing was “crazy” and said neither Malone nor Booth “deserved it.” The gals reiterate that your employer is not your friend. 

And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for: a conversation about The Athletic’s explosive Jordon Hudson reporting. UNC head coach and notorious 72 year old Bill Belichick’s 24-year-old girlfriend has been active on the school emails, talking about how hiring Bill’s son shouldn’t be advertised as nepotism. Also, she’s trademarked a lot of new companies for Bill lately, and her email signature says she’s the COO of a fake company. AND, she’s competing to be Miss Maine in the hopes of going on to compete in the Miss USA pageant. 

Finally, US vice president JD Vance dropped Ohio State’s trophy. A real metaphor!

The gals had too much to talk about this week, and LeBron James has been up to a lot, so they put together a quick special episode on the NBA star for your Thursday. 

First off, a quick update to the prolonged fight between LeBron and ESPN talking head Stephen A Smith (0:44) (for a full primer, listen to this episode of SGS). It turns out that Mattel is making a LeBron James Barbie (3:00)? And the gals….love it? Someone send them a doll ASAP. In other commercial news, Savannah James, LeBron’s wife, is starting a high end skin care brand (5:02), and resident skin-care expert Madeline tells you everything you need to know about it. 

Finally, the gals talk about actual basketball, and Charlotte issues an apology to the Lakers (10:24).

Madeline is back from vacation (thank the good lord) and the gals are back in action! They start off by examining the recent breaking news that the Denver Nuggets fired head coach Michael Malone and GM Calvin Booth, which proves that companies will even kick star employees to the curb (3:19). March Madness has officially wrapped up, and Paige Bueckers and the UConn Huskies are champions after a ten-year drought (9:43). They’ve also broken the Candace Parker Curse, which you can learn all about here. The Florida men beat Houston to win a championship, but Madeline and Charlotte were not happy with the outcome. 

Notre Dame star Olivia Miles announced that she’s transferring to TCU (20:38). Speaking of TCU, star player Hailey Van Lith is now on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swim, so the gals decide where they’ll do their inevitable swim photoshoot (21:04). Then it’s time for a few couples updates: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been popping up in ski locales (24:09), soccer star Trinity Rodman hard-launched her tennis star boyfriend Ben Shelton (29:22), and LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne and Pittsburgh Pirate star Paul Skenes were featured in GQ (30:36). 

In news nobody saw coming, a biotech company backed by Tom Brady and Tiger Woods brought back the formerly-extinct dire wolf (do it to a dinosaur and the gals will be impressed) (36:05). Gisele Bünchen and her Jiu-Jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente will not be attending the Met Gala which makes Madeline think that Tom Brady will be there (39:55). And, finally, an update on everyone’s favorite couple: Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson (41:21).

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.
