    55. Vanessa Giolitto: A Decade in Sports Media, Motherhood, and the One Metric That Matters

    Vanessa Giolito has spent a decade in sports media at ESPN, Sports Illustrated, NBC Sports, Bleacher Report, and TikTok, and she started out clipping college hoops highlights for three hours a night. This week, she and Victoria get into the version nobody puts on LinkedIn: what a decade as the only woman in the room actually taught her, the layoff that turned out to be a blessing, the Friday of the NFL Draft when her water broke, and she filed the package anyway, and why she almost didn't hit post on her own business. She also hands over the one metric she'd give any creator with no analytics team and no time, plus the advice she gives every young woman trying to break into sports. In the episode, we talk about Vanessa’s consulting business, which is currently on hold as she launches into her next adventure!

    53. We're Officially Her Game Days + This Week's Pick Six

    The Football Social Club | Episode released July 28, 2026 The Game has a new name — and it's ours. Victoria kicks off this episode with the official rebrand to Her Game Days, why it captures what this community has always been about, and her own origin story (a lost bet on a second date, a Detroit Lions jersey, and a friendship group that turned into a movement). Then it's straight into the Pick Six: the six biggest stories in the NFL this week, plus a rapid-fire round of everything else you need to know before Sunday. So no woman has to do game day alone — new fans, lifelong die-hards, and everyone in between, this one's for you. In This Episode [00:00] The Rebrand: Game Days Are For Her. The Game is now Her Game Days, the Football Social Club. What the new name means, why it matters for the next generation of women fans, and why this community was never about proving you belong in a "boys' club." [03:17] Victoria's Origin Story: How a lost bet on a second date turned into a lifelong Lions fandom, a group chat, and eventually this whole community — and why Her Game Days exists for the women who got into football through a guy and stayed for themselves. [05:15] Housekeeping: Substack + Fantasy Football We're live on Substack: hergamedays.substack.comAll socials are now @HerGameDaysSeason 2 of Living in a Fantasy, our fantasy football league, has its waitlist open now. Sign-up details drop once the season kicks off, with returning leaguers hearing from us no later than August 10th. Link in the description — share it with any woman in your life, new fan or die-hard.[06:44] Training Camp Diaries Victoria's in San Diego and headed to Rams training camp Monday — her first ever camp experience. She's got tickets to four different camps this summer and will report back next week. This Week's Pick Six 1. Justin Herbert & Madison Beer Are Engaged. The Chargers QB popped the question to the Grammy-nominated pop star. Both Pisces, birthdays five days apart, and — per Victoria — one of the more believable romances in the NFL/pop-star crossover universe (joining Olivia Culpo & Josh Allen, Taylor & Travis, and the now-ended Cardi B & Stefon Diggs). Herbert is signed through a five-year, $262.5M extension; his 2026 salary of $24M is fully guaranteed. 2. Jalen Carter Is Now the Highest-Paid Defensive Tackle Ever. A four-year, $152M extension (worth up to $160M, $106M guaranteed) makes Carter the highest-paid DT in NFL history at $38M/year. Victoria also revisits a difficult chapter from his time at Georgia, a fatal car crash involving a teammate and a staffer following the team's national title celebration, and the toll it's taken on him since. 3. Vita Vea Wants Out of Tampa: The Bucs DT requested a trade after extension talks fell through, he's in the final year of his deal with no guaranteed money left. He wants a West Coast team, ideally the Raiders, to be closer to home. Victoria breaks down why the guaranteed-money conversation is basically a relationship metaphor (you'll have to listen). 4. Daniel Jones Is Fully Cleared and Ready for Camp. The Colts QB confirms he's recovered from the torn Achilles that ended his breakout 2025 season, the one that turned him from a Giants cautionary tale into the guy who beat out Anthony Richardson and signed the largest two-year contract in NFL history ($88M, up to $100M). 5. Kyle Shanahan Comes Forward After His Car Crash: The 49ers head coach was seriously injured in a mid-July collision, with a broken nose, three ribs, a broken hand, 40 stitches, and a severe concussion. Initially reported as the other driver's fault, Shanahan corrected the record himself this week, taking responsibility for the crash. 6. Eric Bieniemy's Family Situation: A developing and difficult story out of Kansas City: the Chiefs OC's wife was shot by their son and is now in stable condition following surgery. Bieniemy has stepped away from camp to be with his family. Sending good energy to Eric and Mia. Rapid Fire: News You Should Know Brian O'Neill (Vikings RT) signs a $96M extension through 2030Jacoby Brissett (Cardinals QB) gets a raise to $15.5M as presumptive starterAaron Rodgers confirms 2026 is officially his last season — and gives a rare update on his private lifeTyreek Hill escalates his divorce proceedingsGeorge Pickens (Cowboys WR) playing on the 2026 franchise tagA Cardinals front-office staffer faces an indefinite ban over a draft leak and gambling investigation; he's appealingDaniel Adongo, a former Colts linebacker, was deported this weekA Patriots wide receiver's now-iconic shirtless, barefoot training camp entrancePatrick Mahomes spotted beachside with Brittany Mahomes, LeBron James, and Kevin DurantBen Steele (Commanders TE coach) fired following a DWI arrest, just months into the job Links Substack: hergamedays.substack.comInstagram / Socials: @HerGameDaysFantasy Football Waitlist ("Living in a Fantasy"): link in episode descriptionThanks for listening to another Pick Six.

    50. JusT&T Married, Jonathan Cooper's Case Escalates, and Baker Mayfield Draws a Line in the Sand

    Pick Six: Taylor & Travis Tie the Knot, Jonathan Cooper's Case Escalates, and Baker Mayfield Draws a Line in the Sand Victoria is broadcasting from Miami for the first time — new apartment, new city, same Pick Six energy. This week: the wedding of the decade, an engagement that's been a long time coming, a beef that's either staged or very real, an assault case working through Douglas County Court, Tyreek Hill's murky 2026 outlook, and three contract situations worth watching before training camp opens. Listen for the full breakdown. Show notes and timestamps below. In this episode (00:00) Miami, at last. A year of recording from hotel rooms, Buffalo, Hawaii, and her mom's house ends with Victoria finally on the ground in her own Miami apartment — plus training camp tickets for both coasts. (02:47) Story 1: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got married. The July 3rd Madison Square Garden wedding, officiated by Adam Sandler — a Happy Gilmore 2 friendship come full circle. Taylor in Christian Dior haute couture (reportedly Dior's first-ever bridal haute couture). No bridesmaids or groomsmen; Austin Swift and Jason Kelce stood as man of honor and best man. Over 1,000 guests, zero phones, and a guest list that doubled as an NFL WAG roll call: Brittany Mahomes, Kelly Stafford, Camille Kostek, Anna Zemmer, Claire Kittle, Sierra, Maddie Major, Emily Mayfield, and Samantha McAfee. Simone Biles claps back at the internet for doubting she and Taylor even know each other. And the NFL's conspicuous silence on the wedding — will Vogue get there first? (11:43) Story 2: Brooklyn Adams and Amon-Ra St. Brown are engaged. The Game's second-ever guest and the woman running the St. Brown Foundation is officially becoming a St. Brown. A win for the Lions' notoriously tight-knit WAG circle. (11:43) Story 3: Jaden Daniels vs. Brandon Ayuk. A World Cup heckle, a "mama's boy" callout tied to Daniels' mom-slash-agent Regina, a mutual unfollow, and an "I'll run it 5-on-5" Instagram taunt. Insiders are split on whether it's a real rift or a trolling bit — bad optics either way for an unsigned free agent. (15:36) Story 4: Broncos linebacker Jonathan Cooper faces a felony assault charge. Two arrests in one week, conflicting accounts of a domestic violence incident, a forensic exam documenting a choking injury, and a consolidated felony case. Cooper was released on personal recognizance bond July 3rd with a strict no-contact order; a disposition hearing is set for July 24th. The Broncos have excused him from mandatory minicamp but haven't taken a public stance. Victoria's take: the league's fines don't match the severity, and it's time for real accountability. (18:57) Story 5: Tyreek Hill's 2026 is a question mark. Still rehabbing multiple torn knee ligaments and a dislocated knee, still unsigned, and without a team to manage the injury narrative for him. A 2026 season on the field is looking less likely by the week. (22:46) Contract watch: Pickens, Lamar, Mayfield, and Hopkins. George Pickens signs his $27.3M franchise tag and reports to minicamp — holdout over. Lamar Jackson's restructured deal pushes $84.49M to 2027, and owner Steve Bisciotti wants an extension done before free agency, but nothing's signed. Baker Mayfield is pushing for $50M/year and has drawn his own line: a deal by July 30th or negotiations wait until after the season — no holdout regardless. And DeAndre Hopkins is taking his time, naming Joe Burrow as a dream QB and drawing rumored interest from the Bengals, Vikings, Chiefs, and Commanders. Fantasy football fans: pre-sign-ups for The Game's all-women fantasy league drop in the coming weeks. League reopens in August with new features.
