From record-breaking wins to celebrity scuffles, this weekend had it all! Even if you don’t follow sports, these are the stories you’ll want to drop in conversation this week.
⛷️ Mikaela Shiffrin made history (again) with her 100th World Cup win 🏅—all after overcoming a brutal injury and PTSD-like anxiety from a crash in November.
🏒 Steve Carell, Justin Bieber & Danny DeVito hit the ice for a charity hockey game to benefit LA fire relief efforts. The highlight? Bieber and NHL (National Hockey League) legend Jeremy Roenick got into a scuffle while Snoop Dogg cheered from the stands. 😂
⚾ The New York Yankees (MLB - Major League Baseball) changed their iconic no-beard policy after decades of enforcing clean-shaven faces. Meanwhile, A-Rod hit a half-court shot 🏀 and won a student $10,000 💰.
⚽ JJ Watt might be forced out of retirement after jokingly betting that if his Burnley F.C. soccer team’s goalie kept a shutout streak, he’d play for the Cincinnati Bengals (NFL - National Football League). Well… 12 games later, no goals allowed. 👀
✂️ Patrick Mahomes debuted a new haircut after the Super Bowl (NFL) loss—and the internet has thoughts.
⚾ End of an era: ESPN and MLB will split after 2025, meaning “Sunday Night Baseball” will cease to exist.
🎬 Coming up this week: The NFL Combine (aka the Underwear Olympics). Tune into Wednesday’s podcast for a behind-the-scenes look at the world’s most invasive job interview.
