Summary
Welcome to the first show of 2025!
After two weeks away, The Sports Gossip Show is starting the new year off with a bang by announcing that you can call or text us 712-7GOSSIP (712-746-7747)! Send your hottest takes, your juiciest tips, and your best jokes — if they’re funny enough, Madeline and Charlotte might even play them on the show.
Now onto the good stuff: The thirst trap artist returns. AKA, Tom Brady posted another picture where he is shirtless. This time he wasn’t fishing, but he did show off how he throws a football. Then Madeline gives a rundown of all the athlete engagements you missed over the break, and discusses her deep dive on Impersonal Foul into athlete flower arrangements.
Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones is waiting for his EGOT: Madeline and Charlotte dissect his star turn in Taylor Sheridan’s show Landman. Spoiler alert: He’s a very good actor?? Speaking of dramatic turns, NBA star Jimmy Butler and the Heat are locked into a war of the wills because Jimmy wants out. Is this like a marriage? Maybe! Speaking of NBA, Draya Michele brought her 22-year-old son to see her 22-year-old boyfriend/father of her child/NBA star Jalen Green play basketball.
Kristen Cavallari wants us to think she’s dating Tom Brady, and Bill Belichick’s 24-year-old girlfriend is bedazzling UNC gear. Madeline talks about how Notre Dame beat her Georgia Bulldogs, and why she’s rooting for the Irish now (spoiler alert: their head coach Marcus Freeman is hot). There’s a lot of drama with the San Diego Padres ownership, and it’s almost exactly like a plotline from the TV show Succession. In other baseball news, Shohei Ohtanhi and his wife Mamiko Tanaka are expecting a baby! And, finally, some coaches got fired, Joe Burrow isn’t in the playoffs, and actress Edie Falco wants to punch NBA player TJ McConnell in the face. Happy new year!
