Summary

Welcome back to another episode of the Sports Gossip Show! We start out with a few cute announcements: UWNT star Sophia Smith and Arizona Cardinals' wide receiver, Michael Wilson, are expecting a baby! So are Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey, and both couples posted announcements that get the gals talking about the types of athlete baby announcements. The 49ers cut Kirstin Juszczyk’s husband Kyle — Kristin just launched a clothing brand, Offseason, and is known for making amazing garments out of NFL jerseys. Sorry to Kyle, but maybe his new team will spark another creative idea for his wife.

LeBron James went up to ESPN’s Stephen A Smith after a Lakers game and told him to stop talking about his son, Bronny, who famously became an NBA player last year. Stephen A is taking this and running with it! And honestly, the gals are pretty confused at this point! But that doesn’t stop them from having many thoughts. The Sixers got booed at WWE Smackdown in Philadelphia, because Philly fans are nothing if not consistent. And Timothée Chalamet took Kylie Jenner to the Indian Wells tennis tournament, and the resulting video is…very funny.

UNC head coach Bill Belichick and his girlfriend Jordon Hudson are still doing the most at the University of North Carolina. Plus, an unconfirmed Sports Gossip Show scoop about why Hard Knocks isn’t happening there. We’re just asking questions! Detroit Pistons player Malik Beasley’s wife, Montana Yao, filed for legal separation. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had dinner with Michael Jordan, because Hurts is now a Jordan Brand athlete. Michael Jordan, come on the pod!

And here’s a news item we didn’t have on our sports bingo card: Former Canada Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding was added to FBI’s 10 most wanted list for allegedly running an international drug ring and orchestrating murders related to it. Finally, we check in with our guy (lol) Aaron Rodgers, who might be the quarterback of a new team by the time you read this. He allegedly wanted to go to the Rams…did he listen to us and consult his astrocartography chart??
