Well Played: Tyson’s Cheeks, A Cowboy Carter Christmas, and the Princess of Genovia’s Courtside Clash
This past weekend, 60 million viewers tuned in to watch the Tyson-Paul fight. As a bonus that literally no one asked for, viewers also caught a view of Mike Tyson’s butt cheeks. Blake and Caroline chat about how Netflix fumbled the bag with its streaming capabilities, and predict whether the streamer will get its act together in time for Beyonce’s NFL Christmas Day performance.
In this episode of Well Played, we’ll also cover:
- The Princess of Genovia’s clash with OG Anunoby at the Knicks game last week
- Marta’s jaw-dropping goal that clinched the Pride’s spot in the NWSL finals
- A roundup of WNBA news in our feeds this week, including the Dallas Wings’ first draft pick, athletes investing in new WNBA franchises, and an investigation into the Seattle Storm coaching staff
- Why Caroline’s excited for an inevitable Chiefs-Bills rematch, and why next week’s Thanksgiving game is bound to be a dud
- Our top “Send It” moments this week: thousands wish a 100-year-old superfan happy b-day, the $800K bag secured on College GameDay, and the volleyball player who left us in tears
