This week in Pretty Boys of the NFL, Tom Brady apparently hit it off with Sydney Sweeney at the Bezos-Sànchez wedding across the pond in Venice. Blake begs the very important question — can Tom Brady even flirt? Back home, Tight End University kicked off, where players came for the football and stayed for an impromptu Taylor Swift concert. Thanks, Travis.

In this episode of Well Played, we also cover: 

  • A recap of our time in the Stubhub suite for a recent Liberty game

  • Kelsey Plum sharing the real reason many WNBA stars are in a shooting slump 

  • Ben Shelton confirming what Caroline knew to be true – butter yellow is in 

  • The prettiest boy in the NFL who refused to play because it was “too cold”

  • How we want to see sporty enemies squash the beef, à la Coco and Aryna
