July 27, 2022 21:42 - 12.3 MB

Day 1 of Training Camp 2022 is in the books for the Ravens and perhaps the best takeaway from today's session is that no one was injured.

However, there were a few highlights and lowlights as RSR's Tony Lombardi discribes in detail. Links mentioned in this episode: http://russellstreetreport.com This podcast is hosted by ZenCast.fm

Making Sense of Cash Over Cap

April 14, 2022 19:06 - 3.52 MB

The hosts of Inside Access on 105.7 The Fan in Baltimore have been highly critical of the Ravens and their free agent spending, or lack thereof, at least in the minds of the body wash or bar soap co-hosts.

April 05, 2022 00:11 - 2.67 MB

Jimmy Haslam and the Cleveland Browns paid a great price for a good quarterback who will never live up to the money and the draft capital it cost to get him.

Browns Doing Browns Things

March 24, 2022 17:04 - 2.55 MB
