“Skimm This” is a weekly news program that breaks down important stories from the past week and adds context and clarity to answer the questions on your mind. Every Thursday evening.
Hockey (Smut)’s New Fans, Wide Receiver Divas, and Travis’ Wood with Gisele Thompson
WARNING: This episode may contain references to Taylor Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl.” Actually – it definitely will. You’re welcome, Swifties (Caroline). Sorry skeptics (Blake). The NFL’s week 5 delivered on upsets, which has some analysts saying that Drake Maye has arrived, Trevor Lawrence can’t fumble, and Jalen Hurts’ offense needs help. It’s us. We’re analysts.
In this episode of Well Played, we also cover:
- A Caroline-approved haiku about week 5, written by Blake
- AJ Brown not beating the wide-receiver diva allegations
- How Cathy Engelbert responded to Napheesa Collier’s scorched-Earth presser
- Dissecting the hate Ayesha Curry received for her Call Her Daddy interview
- How Gisele Thompson really feels about playing without her sister + former teammate, Alyssa Thompson
