Summary
Madeline and Charlotte are back with another episode — the only one for this week because they are taking a tiny break! First, a few March Madness updates: UCLA won the women’s tournament and the Michigan men beat UConn with five transfers. Geno Auriemma went after Dawn Staley and the apology he issued was…not great!
The Masters starts on Thursday and golfer Jason Day is making waves with his Malbon outfit, which involves birds and fish (complimentary). Plus: Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler’s nine-day-old son, and more. Tiger Woods is going to rehab in Switzerland? Bills quarterback Josh Allen and his wife, actress Hailee Steinfeld, had their baby and went to Seahawks Quarterback Sam Darnold’s wedding. Gracie Hunt (daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt) had a compressed flower engagement that exposed a new problem in the athlete wedding industrial complex: votives. Track star Noah Lyles got married to Junelle Bromfield, a Jamaican track and field athlete, at the same place NBA star Kemba Walker got married.
Angel Reese is being traded from the Chicago Sky to the Atlanta Dream, which is great for Atlanta and stupid for Chicago. Italy didn’t make their third-straight World Cup, Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken missed the NFL coach’s photo because he was getting his haircut for the photo, and Lakers star Luka Doncic is going to Spain to deal with an injury.
