We actually have some football on this football podcast today.

Amanda Rykoff tells us about the Jay-Z/Eminem concert at Yankee Stadium and discusses the etiquette of live-tweeting TV shows with potential spoilers. Amanda writes at The OCD Chick and has over 43,000 tweets to her credit. We also ask Amanda, a graduate of NYU law school, about everyone going to law school these days and the historical context of Ines Sainz’s experience in the Jets locker room. I wish we could have had her on longer.

Old-timey NFL picks with Phil Raintree.

Dan Levy is a Philly guy, so we asked him about Michael Vick and his chances of usurping Kevin Kolb as the Eagles’ starting quarterback, presuming he has any. And aren’t there ramifications here for the NFL’s concussion policy? I asked him about his daily podcast, On The DL, and his new sports media site, Press Coverage. And then somehow we got into the long-term prospects of soccer in Philadelphia, but also America as a whole.

And if you don’t care about the show, well, at least you can look at some cheerleaders. Via.

Alan Black/David Henry Sterry, Spencer Hall. In the wake of Blogs With Balls 3, Ryan reads the news. Newcomer Shakey unveils his new game show, which might be the only game show on Earth dumber than “Deal Or No Deal.”

19:34. PUNTE interviews the authors of The Glorious World Cup: A Fanatics Guide, Alan Black and David Henry Sterry (Alan’s the one with the awesome Scottish accent. It would have been nice if I had figured this out before the interview had ended).

What we lack in dick jokes this week, we make up with two terrific interviews. Ryan reads the news. SI contributor and editor of “Grant Wahl At The World Cup” Grant Wahl drops in to guess on how much Americans are (or should be) watching the upcoming World Cup. I understand that it’s some sort of soccer tournament. Programming director at Yardbarker Alana G drops in for a Blogs With Balls panel preview. Hosted by Josh Zerkle and Brandon Moskal.

Recorded June 1-2, 2010. Runs 57 minutes. Listen on the embeddable player, download the ep here and follow HOUSE OF PUNTE: The KSK Podcast on iTunes.

Josh and Brandon discuss current events with news reader Ryan Walsh. And is that Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe stopping in to clear the air on “importing” and to share a little poetry with the crew? Awesome. Ryan Gallivan stops in to discuss the status of his blog, and his “relationship” as described by Facebook. Chris Lucas previews Blogs With Balls 3 in Chicago on June 5, and discusses why people (blue-chip advertisers, specifically) suddenly care about blogs.

UPDATE: Mr. Lucas wanted to issue a clarification. ” I made it sound like TMobile called me and Don and that’s not true, nor fair to Yardbarker who could have gone to any number of bloggers. If you don’t mind posting that clarification, I would appreciate it.” Posted.

34. Josh and Brandon debate the douchebaggery of the “Kobe Bryant fan” who is “okay with the silence.”

We interview Will Leitch, who tells us about his new book, Are We Winning?: Fathers and Sons in the New Golden Age of Baseball, available Tuesday, May 4th. Will tells us about his days at Deadspin and weighs in on some of the issues facing independent media today.

33. PUNTE and Brandon start off by complaining about everything. And then Zak Woods, MMA writer from Watch Kalib Run gives us the Cliff’s Notes on storylines and people to follow in mixed martial arts. Stephanie Stradley, aka “Texans Chick” at the Houston Chronicle, drops in to offer some lawyerly wisdom on this Big Ben business. She was on Millionaire once, but we didn’t talk about that on the show (she does so here.)

31. THE DEATH PANEL. Josh and Brandon wander completely off the reservation in this off-topic April 1 episode. Instead of dumping on Donovan McNabb or laughing at the Buffalo Bills, we assembled a panel of experts for a non-partisan discussion of the federal health care legislation signed by the President last week.
