About Russell »

I was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio and have been a lifelong fan of the Cincinnati Reds and Cincinnati Bengals. I am married to my best friend, Niki. We have two kids, Jenna and Rusty Jr.

I enjoy spending time with my family, going to see the Reds and Bengals, playing video games and watching tv. I cannot think of anything better than a night at the GABP with my family.

    I just realized... You not only lied about the things Roethlisberger said, by making up what you felt best suited your needs of making him look...

    Hey Russ,

    It's end of the season time, and I have decided to grade the Reds players. Do you agree or disagree?

    Hi Russell
    I think MLB needs to revamp their structure and their schedule. What do you think?
