Bits & Bites: USA

This Week in Tennis, Soccer, and Hockey

The GIST: The Revolution might have lost yesterday, but with the Patriots grabbing a commanding win and clawing back to a .500 record, we’re all smiles in Beantown.

This week in sports: Alex Morgan, NHL Schedule

The GIST: The U.S. women’s national soccer team (USWNT) is used to winning on the field, so it only makes sense that they win off the field, too. The team settled part of their ongoing legal battle with the U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) this week.

The GIST: Although the Washington Football Team’s game against the Steelers was postponed from Sunday to Monday — with trades for the Wizards and the Spirit and a much-deserved accolade for a Mystics athlete — the District’s still popping.

The GIST: The Hub’s football and fútbol teams are helping us kick off Monday on a high note. The Patriots escaped with a close win over the Arizona Cardinals and the Revolution marched onward in the MLS playoffs.

This week in Formula One, Soccer

This week co-hosts Ellen and Steph give you the gist on the quick hits you need (think: The Pope x NBA, COVID-19 in the NFL and MLS playoffs) while diving deep on some key talking points about equality and equal pay in sports. Just in time for your Thanksgiving Zoom debate, er, dinner. Tune in won’t you?

We’re looking for anything (babies, basketball and even the MLS) to take our minds off the Eagles after their 22–17 loss to the Cleveland Browns yesterday.

American Mikaela Shiffrin is back on the slopes...and the podium.

The Jets are still winless and both MLS teams lost in play-in games. Maybe Jersey’s the problem?
