March Madness means nothing but net… Louis Vuitton and speedos.
“You had to call out Remember the Titans, too, man. Never forget I am a liability. ”

Secured The Bag: It’s official, WNBA players are getting paid what they’re worth after the league and the players association reached a verbal agreement on a new CBA. The salary cap is $7 million, with average salaries exceeding $585,000. Entry-level salaries were bumped up from 66k to 300k. Top stars, like A’ja Wilson, are already expected to make $1.4 million the first year. This is a huge win for women’s basketball and women’s sports as a whole.
Stars in the Stands: On Tuesday night, Team Venezuela stunned everyone in the World Baseball Classic championship when they defeated Team USA 3-2. Celebrities showed their support throughout the tournament. Bad Bunny and Timothée Chalamet were spotted in the stands earlier in the tournament, along with fellow athletes Drake Maye and Coco Gauff, who slayed at the final game.
Madness, But Make Fashion: March Madness just started, and we’re already in love. Southern rolled into the first round after their First Four win, and Dawn Staley even gifted them some Louis Vuitton. They take on South Carolina tomorrow. Meanwhile, Arizona State’s coach, Molly Miller, carried the team on her back, literally, during ASU’s First Four win. Her blazer featured the seniors’ signatures on the front and the rest of the team on the back.
Cinderella Stories: On the men’s side, we have some Cinderella stories in the making with #12 High Point University upsetting #5 Wisconsin, and #12 VCU crashing #5 UNC’s party. Miami (OH) also advanced to the first round, with some help from its school swim team, who literally wore Speedos and goggles to distract players.
