    60. The Kitty Bowl, London Fit Check & Referee Drama

    Welcome to the Her Game Days Podcast! This week, Victoria and JoJo get into the Kitty Bowl, the Lions' loss to Carolina, and why "this one's on me" might be the worst thing a coach can say. Aaron Rodgers is doing what Aaron Rodgers does these days, in the bad way, and the Steelers are in turmoil. The Bills lost to the Patriots, and someone here is taking the L. Carlie Irsay-Gordon is on the Colts sideline, and that's her right. She owns the team. Also: why the backup QB room suddenly matters, CeeDee Lamb's 17-catch game, Simone Biles in the best team look of the season, where Hailee Steinfeld is on game days, a very weird week for referees, and the Falcons running around. ## Chapters - 00:00 Welcome back. The Kitty Bowl, not the "Feline." - 01:43 Lions vs. Panthers, and expectations vs. reality - 04:00 Fifteen hours on the couch is a job, actually - 05:48 The theory: when the coach or QB takes all the blame, the team loses - 09:20 The Bills defense, Drake Maye, and that interception - 10:30 Aaron Rodgers, Mike McCarthy, and the Steelers in turmoil - 15:27 Rodgers is a Sagittarius, which explains a lot - 16:48 The other Kitty Bowl: Jaguars 22, Bengals 17 - 18:30 Bills hat off: are the Patriots back? (No.) - 21:40 Carlie Irsay-Gordon isn't a distraction. She's the owner. - 31:38 The backup QB room is now one of the most important rooms in football - 33:50 Tyquan Thornton's injury, and why we don't need the replay - 35:20 Raiders vs. Chiefs: Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza's apprenticeship - 38:00 The QBs who sat first: Rodgers, Love, Rivers, Brees, Brady - 40:40 The Jags' 10 first-half penalties, and they still won - 41:30 Lane Johnson retires. The Eagles are wobbling. - 43:52 Upset Sunday and the survivor-pool carnage - 44:20 CeeDee Lamb: 17 catches, 189 yards, and the game-winner - 46:40 Simone Biles' London trench, and supportive couples - 48:55 Where is Hailee Steinfeld on game days? - 51:00 The 49ers husbands who can't stop looking at their wives - 53:10 Referee drama: Vrabel, Trey McBride, and Adrian Hill - 55:00 NFL refs have day jobs - 59:00 Tyler Shough's seven years of college football - 59:16 The Falcons are back: Penix and the Robinsons - 61:03 Happy Week 5.

    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.

About

Her Game Days is where football meets culture and community. Hosted by Victoria Henderson, each interview features conversations with the women shaping the modern sports world—from founders and broadcasters to athletes, journalists, creators, and NFL wives and girlfriends. Together, they explore the stories behind the game: careers, relationships, travel, ambition, traditions, and the people who make football worth gathering around. Pick Six is the Her Game Days weekly roundup of the six biggest conversations happening across the NFL. Every Wednesday, Victoria breaks down the six most interesting, entertaining, surprising, or talked-about stories—from breaking news and standout performances to internet moments, pop culture, relationship headlines, fashion, and everything in between. The segment is designed to help listeners catch up on everything they need to know before kickoff, all with the conversational, opinionated, and community-driven perspective that defines Her Game Days.
