The NWSL’s Holy Trinity

Plus, Hoosiers Is A Football Movie Now

…He has a freeway. The NBA Finals MVP is doing it all off the court. From launching his own shoe independently, to recording a diss track, to teaching a Bridge education camp at MIT – what else can Brown do for you?

Ed Sheeran can snatch your girl and your favorite footballer. He’s the closer for his boyhood club, Ipswich Town, securing a key signing on Zoom before casually performing with Taylor Swift. 

Kendrick Lamar made the song of the year, and it’s inspired some epic battles of the bands. “Not Like Us” is the new bar for HBCU games this season. Grambling State currently holds the top spot. 

Cristiano Ronaldo broke the Internet with his recent MrBeast interview, but we all know the one interview that will top this. We need that CR7 and IShowSpeed sitdown ASAP.

The past, present and future of sports fashion belongs to Dex Robinson. He’s the stylish muse behind your favorite athlete’s outfits, including Tyrod Taylor, Jalen Hurts and Mikal Bridges.

Nobody has benefitted more from the golden era of women’s sports than the WNBA and NWSL, posting record ratings and attendance. Caitlin Clark helped the W reach new heights, the NWSL has an open question of which player will give it a boost?

There’s only one answer. 

Trinity Rodman is her. 

She has talent. Rodman has her own signature move, the Trin Spin, leaving opponents shook and casuals in awe. We’re looking at a future Ballon d’Or winner that’s already rewriting the NWSL’s record books.

She has aura. Rodman is putting butts in seats, returning from her Olympic gold medal moment to packed home crowds. You know she’s the one when the Spirit are selling out games, even if the NFL team is in town.

She has rizz. Completing this holy Trinity is Rodman’s infectious down-to-Earth personality, which makes her incredibly relatable. She plays with her emotions on her sleeves, and enjoys life in that same manner. We love that authenticity.

Twas the night before the semi final 🥳

Rodman is the one to watch heading into the NWSL championship. With a second Spirit title, Rodman can claim her throne.

This new expanded College Football Playoff has been unbelievable. We’re getting March Madness-caliber Cinderella stories on the gridiron. At the moment, Indiana’s shoe sweater fits.

The hottest apparel for Hoosiers fans is the iconic crewneck once worn by College Gameday legend and former Indiana coach Lee Corso in the 70s. It’s a beautiful tribute from Homefield Apparel, which blew up off its love for IU football.

You thought it was just a basketball state with cool candy-striped pants and one of the best sports movies of all time? Not so fast, my friend.

You’ll see a sea of these sweaters in Ohio for Indiana’s biggest game in school history. BOTH College Gameday and Big Noon Kickoff are on location in Columbus, an experience Hoosiers fans could only previously get from a video game.

How long this run lasts is up for debate. Indiana is a beautiful underdog story that deserves a spot in the playoff, but it’s also facing a David vs. Goliath showdown this weekend in the NIL financial gap. 

Still, the little engine that could keeps steaming along. The whole state is behind the Hoosiers now, with sweet collabs like IndyCar only they could pull off, and they’ve become the new totem for schools hoping to revive their football culture.
