Tiger Woods’ DUI and car crash, is F1’s Max Verstappen retiring?, why the Chiefs should sign Taylor Swift, and March Madness madness!
•
Madeline and Charlotte are back with a very loopy episode of The Sports Gossip Show! They recorded this episode on Monday because there is a very special episode coming on Thursday that they had to film on Tuesday.
First, quick Joe Burrow update. Then: Ilia Malinin won a third world championship title! Max Verstappen is considering retiring from F1 because he isn’t having fun at work. The AFCON drama continued when Senegal’s players paraded the Africa Cup of Nations trophy in front of tons of fans after the Confederation of African Football decided that Morocco won the championship. Even though they didn’t?
March Madness — the Final Fours are set for men and women, and there was a totally insane end to the men’s Duke-UConn game. Tiger Woods was arrested for a DUI after yet another car crash, and it’s all just pretty sad. The Connecticut Sun are moving back to Houston to become the Rockets, even though a bunch of other markets tried to buy the team. Toronto Tempo head coach Sandy Brondello hired her husband, Olaf Lange, again. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attended iHeartRadio Music Awards, and the Chiefs should sign her. Tom Brady can’t stop trying to come out of retirement.
