We're Seeing All Of The Beckhams

…It’s like Survivor but with soccer-related challenges. Football Island will feature thirteen ‘legendary’ (so far unnamed) soccer players and will ‘reignite old rivalries.’ 

You could be the proud owner of a love note Michael Jordan wrote to his high school girlfriend, in which he tells her he will never love her as much as basketball. Ah, young love <3.  

Preps and jocks unite! Ralph Lauren (the man) has always been a big baseball guy. Which is why Ralph Lauren (the brand) is releasing a capsule collection for the Tokyo Series. The line will feature Cubs, Dodgers, and Yankees lewks. 

If NBA Top Shot had a mantra, it would probably be that “It’s over, we’re so back” graph meme. Here’s where things are at with it right now.  

🎵Make ‘Em Say U...N.O…🎵Ok, that was a stretch. Percy Robert Miller, aka Master P, aka Lil Romeo Sr., was named the new President of Basketball Operations at the University of New Orleans. An honor the NOLA native was proud to take on. 

The Twitter account best known for causing widespread confusion (sometimes in a fun way), NBA Centel, has been closed, and as expected, social media is in an absolute uproar.

The Beckhams are the closest thing the world has to a non-royal royal family. They’re charismatic, multi-faceted, unbelievably wealthy, and good-looking. 

Patriarch and English soccer GOAT David has been busy building both an MLS team and a supplement brand from the ground up. He also recently discovered he has pecs, thanks to his trainer, who he says has helped him go up a few cup sizes. And he’s readying himself for the big 5-0 in a couple of months. 

David’s “Beckham” docuseries from two-ish years ago cemented itself as one of the best sports docs in recent history (even though he admits he initially regretted it after he saw the first clips), and now Victoria is getting her own. Her doc, which David had to convince her to do, is titleless at the moment but will cover her Spice Girls days and help us understand how she became a fashion it-girl and brand builder.

He also says we’ll see just how funny she actually is, which we did get a glimpse of after she reclaimed this famous meme. We’re hoping to see some of their sh*t talking that goes down during the couple’s workouts, too.

It hasn’t been easy for some lately, what with the football-shaped void they’re trying to fill in their hearts and all. Josh Allen is turning to the other football to numb the pain. But the NFL combine, which starts today, is giving those of us in mourning a brief injection of life—three days is better than nothing, right? 

So, what’s everyone talkin’ about? 

The talk of the combine seems to be what isn’t going down. Some are ridiculing superstars like Shedeur Sanders and Ashton Jeanty for not participating in the combine. Cam Ward will seemingly be a combine-time decision. And because he’s a beast, Heisman winner Travis Hunter will work out as both a WR and CB.  

If you want to get to know some of the guys, Mina Kimes is doing Pokémon player comps on Bluesky. And may we introduce you to molecular biology major and DIII lineman, Thomas Perry, who comes from the most humble of beginnings. Or standout WR Tetairoa McMillan, who prefers you call him Nola, which he took from his hometown Waimānalo, Hawaii and now uses as his personal Mantra: Negative Attitudes Lose Opportunities. 

And when it comes to storylines and memes, the DJs aren’t shying away from the quick hits. Despite frequently begging everyone to forget about it, the networks love clowning Patrick Mahomes for his 40. And the Lions social team gave us tiny combine photoshops, which, inexplicably, just seem to hit every time. 

The Packers made an attempt to get the “Tush Push” banned, which was one of the biggest questions tackled in all of the coaches’ pressers, but it doesn’t seem like it will happen. And as the new players are ushered in, we’re all reminded just how old we are—don’t worry, Mike Vrabel, you aren’t alone. 

Also, Tom Brady was or was not hanging out with Matthew Stafford (unclear) in Montana, and these reporters are fighting at the combine about it. 

Even in its technical absence, the NFL is delivering right now.  

The NFLPA released its annual report cards yesterday, something that, at face value, doesn’t seem intrinsically interesting, but boy were they. The cliff notes are: the Jags got rid of their rat problem, Dan Campbell and five other coaches got perfect scores, the Buccs say their facilities are literally stinky, and the Patriots have requested to switch out the ashtrays on their plane for working wifi—which begs the question, how old is their plane?
