Macklemore vs Bob Kraft and the silencing of dissent, Arch’s apology, Tom Brady’s poetry, and the WNBA’s union has questions for the NBA
Madeline and Charlotte are back with a jam-packed episode! First up, Raiders quarterback Fernando Mendoza’s partnership with OpenAI and a Tom Brady surprise. Texas quarterback Arch Manning issued an apology for laughing at a horrible AI video of ESPN’s Holly Rowe, and the gals dissect it. On Tuesday, many major men's sports leagues sent a letter to state gaming regulators saying they’re worried about the harassment athletes deal with because of sports betting. They didn’t include any women's sports leagues and the WNBPA was like….pardon?There’s going to be increased security when LSU head coach (and former Ole Miss head coach) Lane Kiffin goes back to Oxford for Ole Miss-LSU — specifically, 19 officers on horseback. And, finally, the rapper Macklemore recently said Free Palestine when he opened for Ed Sheeran. He was then dropped from Sheeran’s tour, and it turns out that Patriots owner Bob Kraft led the charge. The gals talk about what people with money will do to try to silence messages they don’t like.

Sydney Sweeney’s rage-bait sports betting ad, the AI video of Holly Rowe, Zverev’s US Open win, and Aaron Rodgers made it a horrible week for women in sports
Madeline and Charlotte are back with another episode of Sports Gossip, in which they dissect a very bad week for women in sports. First, a few fun things: Taylor Swift was at Travis Kelce’s home-opener (in which the Chiefs beat the Broncos) with…Tom Cruise? Also, Widow’s Bay won a bunch of Emmy’s, which isn’t sports, but sort of is. The US women won their fifth-straight FIBA World Cup gold medal, and the content coming out of it from Angel Reese and all the players was great. Okay, time for the bad stuff. Elena Rybakina won the US Open, and there are some not-great things going on with her coach, Stefano Vukov. Alexander Zverev also won the US Open, and multiple women have accused him of domestic violence, yet the ATP has done nothing about it. Texas quarterback Arch Manning publicly laughed at an AI-generated clip of his head coach, Steve Sarkisian, slapping ESPN reporter Holly Rowe. And the actress Sydney Sweeney appeared in a very sexist ad for a sports betting company in which she has equity. The gals talk about where we are as a society, and how all of these things are related.

Earle Meets World spills into the sports world and paints a bleak picture of Alix Earle’s fame and family
Madeline and Charlotte are back with a bonus episode — they binged Alix Earle’s reality show, Earle Meets World, and have lots of thoughts. They talk about how the Tom Brady alleged hook-up situation was handled, the Earle family dynamics, what the show teaches us about reality TV in 2026, the way influencers will try to expand their platforms, and much more.

Is LeBron James’ Polymarket ad the new version of cigarette commercials? + the Bill Belichick timeline at UNC is the darkest possible outcome
Madeline and Charlotte are back with a question: Does anyone care that LeBron James did a Polymarket ad? They discuss the superstar’s new commercial that also features athletes like Eli Manning, Richard Sherman, Derek Jeter, Rajon Rondo, Reggie Bush, Sue Bird, and celebs like Alexandra Daddario, John Leguizamo, Craig Robinson, Spike Lee, and more. It seems bad, but people don’t seem to be too angry about it, so the gals are curious. Then, they talk about the Bill Belichick disaster at UNC. GM Mike Lombardi resigned last week amid ongoing an HR investigation, and there is reportedly also an investigation looking into Steve Belichick, whom lawyers have allegedly questioned about drug related issues and involvement with players. Pretty much the darkest possible timeline!

Mina Kimes on the juiciest NFL storylines: Mike Vrabel, Aaron Rodgers, gingers in football, the 49ers’ scandals, and much more
ESPN NFL analyst Mina Kimes joins the show to discuss all the juiciest NFL storylines before the season kicks off with Seahawks (Mina’s team) vs Charlotte’s Patriots on Wednesday night. The gals talk to Mina about all sorts of things: Will the scandal involving Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini affect how the Patriots play this season? Did Sam Darnold’s wedding help the Seahawks? How will the Chiefs fare with Travis Kelce entering his 14th season as Taylor Swift’s husband, and offensive coordinator Eric Bienemy’s horrible family situation? Why was Deshaun Watson named the Browns starter? The 49ers had a bizarre offseason, with coach Kyle Shanahan’s car crash and owner Jed York’s arrest for suspicion of engaging in prostitution — will any of this affect the team (not to mention the Daejon Love story)? And finally, Aaron Rodgers’ strange comments about hoping he has a “pregnant wife” by next year and why the people who attack Mina for talking about Rodgers are behaving like idiots.

All the juiciest college football gossip you need before Week 1 with Jessica Smetana and Lucy Rohden
Madeline and Charlotte are back with a very exciting episode: a crossover with Jessica Smetana and Lucy Rohden, two dear friends of SGS who have started a great new show, College Football Happy Hour. The four women in STEM get into all sorts of CFB drama, including Lane Kiffin’s LSU insanity, whether Arch Manning is interesting, Bobby Petrino’s coaching renaissance for Bill Belichick at UNC and Jordon Hudson’s recent outfit, USC’s lack of fans (lol), Notre Dame’s professionalism, Iowa’s quarterback mess, and much more. Finally, the show ends with an insane story about Caitlin Clark’s boyfriend’s parents getting themselves kicked out of the very welcoming Iowa community. You’ll have to listen to believe.

Tom Brady’s leather pants, Travis Kelce’s new ad (and dog), Coco Gauff’s mom, Taylor Fritz’s new girlfriend, and the crazy Daejon Love 49ers scam
Madeline and Charlotte are back at Sports Gossip HQ (Charlotte’s apartment) and they’ve got a bunch of gossip for their Shareholders. They start with Tom Brady’s leather pants, because Charlotte scored an exclusive interview with the much-maligned garment. Then it’s on to Travis Kelce’s Tommy Hilfiger ad, in which his and Taylor Swift’s dog makes her debut. Coco Gauff’s mom posted on Instagram that she can’t give people US Open tickets, so stop asking! Tennis star Taylor Fritz is dating Olivia Jade, and his ex, Morgan Riddle, made her presence known at the US Open in the best way possible. Messi retired from international play, so he’s just chilling in Florida now. Then the gals get into the Daejon Love scandal. Love posed as a 49ers player and scammed at least 26 women out of 1.3 million dollars, and Madeline interviewed one of the victims. And, finally, Joshua Kushner’s very silly comments about the FIFA deal that fell through.
