Spam Sandwiches and the Women Behind Lombardi’s Packers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
SilentPunt Podcast 223 / September 10, 2026 The story of Vince Lombardi’s Packers usually arrives in the voice of John Facenda: frozen breath, muddy jerseys, and giants doing battle on the tundra. But after the cameras left, a group of young women was doing much of the work that made those football lives possible. This week, I’m joined by mother-daughter authors Laura Kostelnik Biskupic and Katherine Biskupic , authors of Lambeau Ladies: The Boundary-Breaking Women Behind Lombardi’s Packers . We

SilentPunt Podcast 222 / August 27, 2026 Joe Palumbo has been a national champion, an All-American, a lawyer, an NFL intern, a sports agent, a wealth manager for professional athletes, and a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt.

And, of course, about spending the rest of his life arguing with Franco Harris over what really happened during the Immaculate Recep
JJ Birden Was 157 Pounds - and Lasted Nine NFL Seasons (opens the original)
Read excerpt
SilentPunt Podcast 219 / July 30, 2026 At 157 pounds, JJ Birden was never supposed to last nine seasons in the NFL. In this conversation, the former Kansas City Chiefs receiver explains how he turned speed, preparation, and a stubborn desire to prove everybody wrong into a career that included catching passes from Joe Montana. Birden also opens up about his less-documented years after football: business successes and failures, the coffee shop he owned despite not liking coffee, and the life-chan
