Summary
In this week’s episode of The Sports Gossip Show, Madeline describes the excitement of watching the NY Liberty win a championship, and Charlotte drops a fun fact about Liberty head coach Sandy Brondello. Somehow the gals end up talking about falling asleep at a NASCAR race before moving on to the damning evidence that Bill Belichick’s 23-year-old girlfriend is running his Instagram account. But it doesn’t stop there — the two detectives piece together what this could have to do with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.
Matthew McConaughey put out a super weird statement directed at Texas fans for throwing water bottles onto the field. The former Bears quarterback and ex-husband of reality show celeb Kristin Cavallari, Jay Cutler, got arrested for a DUI and gun possession — and the Daily Mail had an incredible headline for it.
Then it’s time to dig into the NBA’s opening night! Charlotte is in Boston for Celtics-Knicks opening night, so Madeline and Charlotte share a few Knicks-centric updates (Jalen Brunson went to Lucali) before examining a shirtless video addressed to the rapper 50 Cent that Pacers star Tyrese Halliburton filmed at 4 am with three ladies. It turns out that Charlotte is 76ers veteran Kyle Lowry, and Madeline is the young, tech-savvy rookie Jared McCain. Bronny will make his debut with his dad on Tuesday, and another famous sports father-son duo will be in attendance.
Madeline and Charlotte dissect Alix Earle’s latest video about her boyfriend Braxton Berrios’ torn ACL. Then they check in on the Yankees-Dodgers World Series matchup — featuring turtlenecks — and, finally, celebrate (sort of) Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott’s recent golf-course engagement.

| 0:19.9 | I cannot believe we've already done five episodes. What is |
| 0:23.1 | time? I know. And someday we're going to lose track and lose count. And then we'll know we've really |
| 0:28.8 | made it. That's true. We're just like we're too big to even know what episode number we're on. |

| 0:55.4 | the Knicks. So I'm very excited. Well, I'm going to be living vicariously through you. I had like |
| 1:01.2 | a taste of championship juiciness at the Liberty game on Sunday night. They won the WMBA championship |
| 1:09.1 | and beat the Minnesota Links in the weirdest |

| 1:25.1 | Did it just feel insane? |
| 1:32.9 | The energy was like unparalleled. I've been to, you know, a fair number of sporting events, but the sound was so intense. I've actually never considered being like, I need earplugs |
| 1:38.6 | immediately. Like, where can I purchase ear plugs in the venue? Like, it was so loud. I'm like, |
| 1:43.5 | I need those loop earplugs or whatever those fancy earplugs are. I'm like, I need the high-tech earplugs in the venue? Like, it was so loud. I'm like, I need those loop |
| 1:44.3 | earplugs or whatever those fancy earplugs are. I'm like, I need the high tech earplugs to block |
| 1:49.1 | all of this sound. That's wild. You know, I actually, the, I've, I covered NASCAR before. |
