Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Published On: Tue Jun 30 2026
Description: Ken Carman and Anthony Lima break down body cam footage of NFL reporter Diana Russini getting pulled over in New Jersey, where she namedrops Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell to the trooper to get out of a distracted driving ticket. The tactic works, with the officer fanboying over the Vikings instead of writing her up. Ken and Anthony riff on whether other Browns figures like Joe Thomas or Todd Monken could pull off the same move, before circling back to discuss the ongoing Watson versus Sanders quarterback competition and the East 9th Street closure wreaking havoc on their commutes.
