Did you miss us? Cause we missed you. We’re inching closer to the end of Honey Deuce season, AKA: the end of the US Open. Coming out of the weekend, convos surrounding Naomi Osaka’s return to dominance flooded our feeds. Her talents brought her this far, but we’re convinced Billie Jean Bling and Althea Glitterson – her sparkly Labubus sidekicks – will bring her to the end. Plus, a recap on the first weekend in college football and a look ahead at week 1 of the NFL season.
In this episode of Well Played, we also cover:
How many Honey Deuces Blake spilled at the US Open
Serena Williams' reaction to her sister's new doubles partner
Who clipped another Dallas athlete’s wings
How Chapel Bill dropped the ball during his UNC debut
Why some people are calling Caitlin Clark’s Nike logo “Temu Chanel”
