Summary
The Sports Gossip Show is back! Madeline has a bone to pick with Dave and Buster’s, and Charlotte wishes the internet were never invented. Anyway, onwards!
This week starts with a salute to Diana Taurasi, who retired after 20 years with the Mercury. Then, some reporting from Madeline on NBA Centel, the parody account on X that briefly went away last week. Is there internal turmoil in the Centel universe? Speaking of the NBA, the Lakers are playing out of their minds and the Mavs are falling apart. Kyrie Irving blew out his knee and ownership is now…raising prices? This somehow leads to an important conversation about t-shirts.
Some personal news: Travis Kelce, tight end for the Chiefs, is not retiring after all. The gals speculate as to why he’s coming back. Did his girlfriend Taylor Swift help him make the decision? Plus, Wes from this season of The Traitors weighed in and said he knew Travis and Taylor were dating for months before anyone else knew. Madeline and Charlotte go on a very important journey about which reality shows they’d like to be on.
Bill Belichick and his girlfriend, Jordan Hudson, are once again up to stuff. They will not appear on the reality show Hard Knocks, after it seemed like a done deal. Creative control seemed to be the problem, and the gals speculate that Jordon wanted to be in charge more than producers were willing to let her. Jordon recently weighed in on politics, and the gals are pretty sure she’s playing the long game for something.
Former Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers may play for the Giants this year, and the gals think he needs to check his astrocartography before he signs up. Speaking of the Jets, the players graded ownership, and owner Woody Johnson got an F. Plus, the Cincinnati Bengals need to be better when it comes to families. Maybe toxic workplaces aren’t great! Then, in MLS news, the Houston Dynamo apologized that Inter Miami star Lionel Messi didn’t play in Houston, and gave fans a free ticket to another game. The Mavericks should pay attention!
