Well Played: Joe Burrow’s Girlfriend Emergency, Bella Hadid the Horse Girl, and the Heisman Hate Parade

Listen Later

Joe Burrow is the latest high-profile NFL player whose home was burglarized this season. But what should’ve been a good old fashioned burglary exploded when the internet found out that Olivia Ponton made a 911 call reporting the incident, not to be confused with Olivia Holzmacher, his college sweetheart. Caroline and Blake wonder whether JB and OG Olivia split up (his pre-season bleach job is damning evidence) and dive into a Reddit conspiracy theory about Ponton’s potential motives. 

In this episode of Well Played, we’ll also cover: 

  • Who’s salty over Caitlin Clark winning TIME’s “Athlete of the Year”
  • Why the Heisman winner’s fiancée hijacked the headlines surrounding the award ceremony
  • Bella Hadid winning the “Rookie of the Year” title in horsing around
  • The diva player among the 49ers, why Josh Allen’s bound to be MVP, and Patrick Mahomes playing hairdresser for his wife
  • The top athletes and moments winning “The Wellies” in our inaugural end-of-year awards segment
