Summary
The gals are back from Buffalo, where they had a phenomenal time and watched Charlotte’s New England Patriots beat Madeline’s Buffalo Bills — full recap of the trip coming on Thursday!
Today, there are a few big stories to cover: NBA star LeBron James teased “The Second Decision,” and it ended up being an ad for Hennessy — the internet isn’t fun anymore!
The tension between the WNBA commissioner Cathy Englebert and star players, especially Napheesa Collier, reached an all-time high over the weekend and it doesn’t seem to be cooling down anytime soon.
The Patriots beat the Bills in a former-Bills player Stefon Diggs revenge game and a statement game for Pats quarterback Drake Maye.
UNC head coach Bill Belichick reportedly forbade UNC from posting about Maye, a UNC alum. Parents of UNC players spoke to the press anonymously and it doesn’t seem great down there!
The Chiefs’ vibes continue to be very off — Travis Kelce lost on Monday Night Football while Taylor Swift, his fiancee, promoted her album on Jimmy Fallon.
