Kevin and Big J. start the show off discussing the results of Strikeforce Heavy Artillery. When TJ arrives the guys talk about Backstrom's new contract, the Hershey Bears, the newest DE signed by the Redskins, the ACC's contract with ESPN, the Nationals losing streak and the Orioles woes.

Be forewarned Kevin is a bit off declaring that the Redskins had signed 19 defensive linemen (bad stat by the research team). At the moment the Redskins have 13 defensive linemen and 13 linebackers on the roster.
