    Well Played: NBA All Star Agony, 4 Nations Face Off (and Fist Fight), and UCONN Snaps a Streak
    Feb 18 2025
    The NBA hoped to get fans to care about the All Star Game this year and…it seriously backfired. After only 42 minutes of game time during the 3-hour broadcast, fans were left scratching their heads at the new format, the constant stoppages, and Kevin Hart’s (bad) jokes. Blake and Caroline look to the NHL’s 4 Nations for inspiration on how the ballers can make next year better. In this episode of Well Played, we’ll also cover: Why the NBA revamped the All-Star game format, and why fans still hated it Wemby and Chris Paul exploiting a loophole in the skills challenge How the list of the top-100 highest paid athletes in 2024 includes zero women Women’s college hoops heating up with No. 7 UCONN’s win over No. 4 USC Our top “Send Its” of the week including Saquon pulling a ball boy into the Eagles parade, Lebron ditching the All Star game to work out with his daughter, and the three-peat winner of the dunk contest Caroline’s Instagram: @cghendy Blake’s Instagram: @blaaakkkke theSkimm’s Instagram: @theskimm Learn more about your ad choices.

    While the actual Super Bowl game might’ve been boring, Blake and Caroline found plenty to talk about: like Jalen Hurts winning the MVP, Travis Kelce’s post-game walk of shame, and whether or not the Eagles are poised to become a dynasty. In this episode of Well Played, we’ll also cover: Why this was a Super Bowl for haters of all kinds Decoding Kendrick’s halftime performance How many times Taylor Swift was shown during the game (hint: not a lot) The women who won the Super Bowl, including the first Black woman coach and Jalen Hurts’ management team Our top Send Its for the week, including Bradley Cooper’s side hustle, Nike’s first commercial in almost 30 years, and a rapid fire round of fashion police Caroline’s Instagram: @cghendy Blake’s Instagram: @blaaakkkke theSkimm’s Instagram: @theskimm Learn more about your ad choices.

    Feb 4 2025
    It’s Super Bowl week, but the drama in the sports world never stops. Luka Doncic got caught up in what many experts are dubbing the “worst trade in NBA history” while A’ja Wilson and Bam Adebayo hard launched their relationship at the South Carolina alumna’s jersey retirement. After covering big headlines of the week, Caroline and Blake share Super Bowl rituals plus what they’ve got their eye on as the big game approaches. In this episode of Well Played, we’ll also cover: Why Mavericks’ fans haven’t slept since Luka Doncic’s trade to the Lakers Caitlin Clark (potentially) having the fastest jersey retirement since leaving Iowa Why Blake and Caroline are butting heads when it comes to Super Bowl watch habits WTF prop bets actually are and which ones you should care about Lily’s reactions to what’s on our Super Bowl bingo cards, including how often Taylor Swift will appear on the broadcast and who Kendrick Lamar is bringing out during his halftime show Lily’s Instagram: @sportsish Caroline’s Instagram: @cghendy Blake’s Instagram: @blaaakkkke theSkimm’s Instagram: @theskimm Learn more about your ad choices.
