Logan Paul And Kai Cenat Are Pro Footballers Now

Plus, Is Drake In Line For A World Cup Final Halftime Show

…because Skip called out KD as appearing to be “mentally semi-retired.” KD replied by saying maybe they’re both washed. If anyone knows what that phrase actually means, let Kevin know here

Are soccer star Trinity Rodman and tennis talent Ben Shelton a secret couple, hiding in plain sight? They might just be flirting, but they definitely (maybe) are communicating via TikTok, thanks to Glorilla’s trending audio. 

Thanks to “Drive to Survive,” and Charles Leclerc, Lewis Hamilton, and Kimi Räikkönen know F1’s fits are fire. But actually, they always have been

Circa 2012, while wine drunk in Russia, Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi made plans to play together in New York. The next morning, sans alcohol, they decided the idea was less than realistic. Stars, they're just like us. 

Boo-who is partnering with fashion retailer BoohooMAN?! Deandre Hopkins is. The streetwear line will evoke Hopkins’ love of football and luxury fashion. No word on whether or not it will feature 5XL gloves.


This weekend, dozens of your favorite content creators played in front of 90,000+ fans at Wembley Stadium, raised over $6M for charity, and drew over 16M views on YouTube. Names like KSI, Logan Paul, MrBeast, KaiCenat, Sketch, and so many more, suited up for the event, which sold out in mere hours. 

If you aren’t well-versed in the YouTube-sphere, here’s the rub: British YouTube influencer group—Sidemen FC—have faced the YouTube All-Stars six times in this charity game since its inception in 2016, but the All-Stars have only won twice—this year being one of the most thrilling endings to date. 

A 9-9 tie forced the game into everyone’s least favorite tie breaker, the dreaded PKs. Although it turns out in the case of YouTuber charity games, PKs are actually fun. ISHOWSPEED (whom Thierry Henry himself dubbed captain) narrowly scored the last PK to win the game and proved his training paid off. All-Stars goalie Sketch won Player of the Match

But what really stood out about this match was that it was such a smashing success in terms of views, impressions, influence, and advertising, some say it embarrassed proper professional soccer teams. This one-off match drew in bigger sponsorship deals with huge brands than some Prem League teams get in a full year of partnering with brands.  And can we get a little commotion for manager Sidemen FC Calfreezy’s suit? 

The Men’s World Cup final will be played at MetLife Stadium in June of 2026, but will it be played at 6pm In New York? (Like the Drake song). 

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has teased a halftime performance during the final match, and some are thinking it’s gonna go Sicko Mode. (Like that other Drake song). Speculation that it might be Drake began when he was mentioned, actually, straight up pitched, on Good Day New York to Infantino. Now, recall this clip from a year ago when Drake showed up to talk soccer and Gianni was like “now you’re talkin’ my language, now you’re talkin’ my language,” (like the other Drake song). 

Since Kendrick’s Super Bowl performance directly called Drake out by name, the people are itching for a “Say Ken…” response. But that doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll get it. Most people think it will be Mr. Worldwide or Shakira or Bad Bunny or The Boss (no, not your boss, don’t worry, thee Boss, as in Bruce Springsteen).  

Some soccer supporters are anti halftime performance altogether. Regardless, since Infantino promises “2 billion viewers from every corner of the world…20 times the Super Bowl,” it’s gotta be a little tempting for Drake, who famously lives for this, it isn’t just a hobby like that (final Drake song reference—promise).
