Joe Burrow’s Turf Toe, Carlie’s Colts Kill It, and Taylor Makes an Entrance with Ali Krieger
We’re pouring one out for the Bengals’ Joey B, who’s out for the next three months recovering from turf toe. Blake begs the question: why couldn’t it be a sexier injury? Elsewhere in the midwest, the Colts are killing it for the first time in *checks watch* a long time. Some say it’s thanks to the new QB on the block, Daniel “Indiana” Jones. Our verdict? It’s thanks to Carlie Irsay-Gordon, who’s been prepping her whole life for this. Plus, we catch up with former USWNT member, Ali Krieger, about life post-retirement and what cross-sport solidarity means for the future of women’s sports.
