Episode Notes
It was a big week in basketball news. Justin Bieber played in a rec league designed for “CEOs, VIPs, and people from all walks of life” (you may raise your eyebrows) while the NBA faces two scandals of its own. One deals with illegal sports betting and rigged poker games. The other? Jaylen Brown’s hairline. Also: Blake and Caroline surprise each other with sporty Halloween costumes for the pod, so watching on YouTube or Spotify is a must this week.
In this week’s episode, we also discuss:
- The moment we became Justin Fields stans
- A World Series game so crazy, Blake and Caroline are even intrigued
- U.S. Soccer’s work to support pregnant and post-partum players on the USWNT
- Why getting fired as a college football coach is almost as lucrative as being an active one
- How to watch the NWSL Decision Day games this coming Sunday
