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.
