College career
Silipo played football at Tulane University and graduated with a degree in education.
Montreal Alouettes/Montreal Concordes
As a free agent, Silipo would sign with the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League on July 11, 1981. He was assigned jersey number 67 and played in two games during the Alouettes' 1981 season. The Alouettes franchise folded in May 1982 and the team re-emerged as the Montreal Concordes. Following a dismal 3–13-0 record in 1981, the Concordes immediately started a rebuilding process and several players were released, including Silipo on June 28, 1982.
Kansas City Chiefs
After being released by the Concordes, Silipo signed with the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League on July 10, 1982, and subsequently attended the Chiefs' training camp located at William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri. He was later released by the Chiefs on August 30, 1982. During his time with the Chiefs Silipo wore jersey number 75.
Denver Gold
Silipo signed with the Denver Gold of the United States Football League (USFL) on December 7, 1982. Silipo would wear jersey number 66 for the Gold and went on to play in 17 games during their 1983 inaugural season.
San Antonio Gunslingers
He was selected by the San Antonio Gunslingers in the 3rd round (16th player selected) of the USFL expansion draft in September 1983. Silipo played in nine games during the 1984 season and returned to play in 1985 as well. Notable is the fact that Silipo and his teammates continued play during the 1985 season despite not being paid on a regular basis. As a result of the financial problems that owner Clinton Manges faced, the Gunslingers released all of their players, on July 22, 1985, just minutes before the deadline to pay the players for two overdue paychecks.
Buffalo Bills
Silipo signed with the Buffalo Bills as a replacement player during the 1987 players' strike. He played in his first and only regular season NFL game against the Indianapolis Colts on October 4 in front of 9,860 spectators at the 80,290-seat Rich Stadium. Two weeks later on October 20, 1987, he was placed on the injured reserve list, effectively ending his professional career.
Endeavor Academy
He later worked as a physical education/health teacher at Endeavor Academy located in Centennial, Colorado.
