Her talents brought her this far, but we’re convinced Billie Jean Bling and Althea Glitterson – her sparkly Labubu sidekicks – will bring her to the end. Plus, a recap on the first weekend in college football and a look ahead at week 1 of the NFL season. In this episode of Well Played, we also cover: How many Honey Deuces Blake spilled at the US Open Serena Williams' reaction to her sister's new doubles partner Who clipped another Dallas athlete’s wings How Chapel Bill dropped the ball during his UNC debut Why some people are calling Caitlin Clark’s Nike logo “Temu Chanel” Send Its: Baby Stella at the US Open Micah Parsons facetimes a fan The hairy and heavy-breathing ESPN analyst Caitlin Clark’s logo design Caroline’s IG: @cghendy Blake’s IG: @blaaakkkke theSkimm’s IG: @theskimm PS: Did you know theSkimm has a sports newsletter?
