    Mike Vrabel speaks, is LeBron comparing himself to Odysseus?, Azzi and Paige press conference-gate, the new Blazers owner won’t even pay for t-shirts

    2026-04-21 | 51 mins.
    Madeline and Charlotte are back with a new ep! First, relationship news: Guardians catcher Austin Hedges proposed on the field after win, Anna Hall married Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton, Gracie Hunt’s non-engagement party party, Sam Darnold’s wife Katie Hoofnagle Darnold gave the exclusive to Hailee Steinfeld’s newsletter Beau Society.

    Tom Brady posted a shirtless Reel playing volleyball with his daughter. As one does! Mike Vrabel spoke to reporters about the Dianna Russini situation and the statement was as good as we’re going to get.

    NBA Playoff drama —is this the end of the Warriors dynasty? Cleveland put out a questionable graphic. LeBron and his son Bronny did a promo for Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, and Charlotte gives what is hopefully a correct history lesson. The Portland Trailblazers’ new owner, a guy named Tom Dundon, is super cheap?? The gals dive in.

    And, finally, two other lessons in PR: Azzi Fudd and Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings communication people, and Lando Norris and the Guardian.

    Dianna Russini resigned over Mike Vrabel situation, Bill and Jordon at Savannah Bananas and Michael Malone at UNC, Caleb Williams with Kardashians at Coachella, WNBA free agency

    2026-04-16 | 42 mins.
    Madeline and Charlotte are back with some updates: After photos leaked of NFL insider Dianna Russini holding hands with Patriots head coach, Mike Vrabel, Russini resigned from The Athletic. The gals talk about how male insiders in this industry cross ethical lines constantly and are not held to the same scrutiny and don’t suffer the same consequences. Plus: What’s going on with Mike Vrabel and the Patriots?

    UNC football head coach Bill Belichick and his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, attended a Savannah Bananas game. Speaking of UNC, former Denver Nuggets Michael Malone is the new head basketball coach, and his daughter is also a volleyball player at the school. Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson got married to Kelsey Kay Holmer — were the flowers compressed? Bears quarterback Caleb Williams was spotted at Coachella with Kendall and Kylie Jenner, which is sports.

    WNBA free agency is in full swing and the gals have updates about Azzi Fudd, Satou Sabally, A’ja Wilson, and some damning stuff about the Chicago Sky. Amazon had “technical difficulties” during the very end of the very close, over time Hornets-Heat NBA play-in tournament game. Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves are out “indefinitely” for the Lakers with injuries, and Doc Rivers is out as the Bucks coach.

    When it comes to Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel-gate, everybody is missing the point

    2026-04-14 | 1h 3 mins.
    Madeline and Charlotte are back after a short break last week to tackle the story everyone is talking about: The photos of NFL insider Dianna Russini and Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel. The gals talk about the public relations nature of the situation, the role that “insider” reporters play in sports, and the bigger picture of the media landscape that people need to consider when talking about the situation.

    First, a few items about the WNBA Draft (more on that on Thursday), because former UConn teammates Azzi Fudd and Paige Bueckers were reunited on the Dallas Wings and…are they still dating? Rory McIlroy won the Masters for the second year in a row, and now he has to come up with a whole new menu for the special dinner. Plus: the Artemis II astronauts are the GOAT sports figures of our time.

    Geno Auriemma's non-apology to Dawn Staley, Chicago fumbles Angel Reese, Tiger Woods goes to Swiss rehab?, and a shocking new update to the athlete wedding complex

    2026-04-07 | 54 mins.
    Madeline and Charlotte are back with another episode — the only one for this week because they are taking a tiny break! First, a few March Madness updates: UCLA won the women’s tournament and the Michigan men beat UConn with five transfers. Geno Auriemma went after Dawn Staley and the apology he issued was…not great!

    The Masters starts on Thursday and golfer Jason Day is making waves with his Malbon outfit, which involves birds and fish (complimentary). Plus: Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler’s nine-day-old son, and more. Tiger Woods is going to rehab in Switzerland? Bills quarterback Josh Allen and his wife, actress Hailee Steinfeld, had their baby and went to Seahawks Quarterback Sam Darnold’s wedding. Gracie Hunt (daughter of Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt) had a compressed flower engagement that exposed a new problem in the athlete wedding industrial complex: votives. Track star Noah Lyles got married to Junelle Bromfield, a Jamaican track and field athlete, at the same place NBA star Kemba Walker got married.

    Angel Reese is being traded from the Chicago Sky to the Atlanta Dream, which is great for Atlanta and stupid for Chicago. Italy didn’t make their third-straight World Cup, Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken missed the NFL coach’s photo because he was getting his haircut for the photo, and Lakers star Luka Doncic is going to Spain to deal with an injury.
