Chris Russell joins Rick and Matt as they talk the Redskins cut down to 53.

IJB Super Sub Alexe Zeese, from the Hogsty, tags in for John this episode and we join the chorus of detractors on the concept of the NFL Preseason. First up we talk about the surreal novelty of the 80 yard game between The Green Bay Packers and the Oakland Raiders and discuss the sordid details that ended in that debacle. This gets us going on ways to improve the preseason and why the financials probably block any real solutions. Then we go hard on MLB topics including the league feeling the need to warn players about truck-stop boner pills, Dominican drug cartels cleaning money through ex-major leaguers and the Houston Astro’s allowing Justin Verlander his hissy fit and banning a journalist from covering his game against his old team, the Detroit Tigers.

Rick and Matt cover all the latest local sports news and cultural oddities that catch Rick's attention

The Redskins officially have announced Keenum will be the starter to begin the season. Shocking no one. We recap game three of the pre-season. Lastly we predict the redskins schedule.

The QB battle. The defense is looking good. Jays odds of surviving the season don't sound good. The O's are for sale? Don Warren should be in the ring of fame. Remembering Joe White.

We recap the Bengals game, and I’ve just been told that there’s another flag that’s been thrown. Seriously, one of the most embarrassing displays by the refs I’ve ever seen. But we’ll get into that, Haskins, the defense, “special” teams. Will Colt ever be healthy again? At this point who knows.

For the first time in weeks, we are back to our regular cast of middle age miscreants. We stay mostly in the National Football League ()cue music) and take a one-way ticket to crazy town by talking about Antonio Brown’s helmet grievance. This somehow raises the name Marty McSorely We lay a wager that data driven sports gambling like what NBC Sports Washington is doing with an alternative broadcast of its preseason games is here to stay. While we dream of a Rodger Goodell deposition we are bearish that Saints fans suing him is going to produce this fantasy. Close out the pod is a regular theme on the show, the corporate wars for how the heck people will watch the ole’ ballgame in a few years.

Seasons of Discontent is back after the boy's exotic vacations, just in time to recap preseason game one. Rick had an in-depth talk with, Caps/Wiz/Mystics and about 500 other teams owner Ted Leonsis.

They give their thoughts on the field of dreams game next year. And perogies on pizza?!

A hall of fame player, and hall of fame broadcaster, Sonny Jurgensen finally has announced his retirement from the radio booth for the Washington Redskins after half a century working with the team. The NFL season got started for Washington with a sloppy pre-season game against the Cleveland Browns. Haskins debut was no thing of beauty, we will get into all that.

As the Washington Redskins get ready to play the Cleveland Browns in the 1st week of the NFL's preseasons we... well, let us be honest no one wanted to do much of a game preview of a 1st-week preseason game. But what we did want to do was get Jamual's observations from his last four days at training camp. Also, we wrap up our position group breakdown with a look at special teams.

Lastly, we are pleased to announce that we are partnering up with Big Heads Media, a collective of podcasts.
