Probably after lunch on Friday, the way all the cowards in your industry drop the news they want to bury. Not-so-bold prediction: Justin Tucker has kicked his last kick for your franchise.

Dear Catie Griggs: When Orioles fans ask why I don’t have an Orioles media credential, I’m sending them to you for answers

I’m pulling for you to fix the Orioles on-and-off the field, even if you continue the bizarrely petty Angelos family tradition of willfully, purposely and strategically mistreating me and restricting a legitimate professional working local media member from asking you serious questions in the David Rubenstein “Next Chapter” era. “We all want the same things here.”
ColumnNes: My letter to Orioles President Catie Griggs

ColumnNes: My letter to Orioles President Catie Griggs

This month, I've had many Orioles fans ask me on the streets of Baltimore why David Rubenstein, a full year into his new ownership and trying to spread a different image from Peter Angelos with a stunt like this bobblehead promotion this weekend, would continue to deny me legitimate press credentials after 40 years of covering Baltimore sports. So, I wrote this letter to new President Catie Griggs a month ago, a week before Opening Day:
Dear David Rubenstein: I really believed things were going to be different with "The Next Chapter" of Orioles history – but I was wrong so far

Dear David Rubenstein: I really believed things were going to be different with "The Next Chapter" of Orioles history – but I was wrong so far

I'm still "under review" and denied media credentials. You're still under review by every fan of the Baltimore Orioles and every citizen who chipped in $600 million toward your $1.725 billion asset. Be a better person and a better baseball owner than Peter Angelos. Be the noise for truth, accountability and decency. Make "The Next Chapter" a truly inclusive one, David.

Dear Steve Bisciotti: Ask Chad Steele what he thinks I said about Sage so I can tell Ravens fans why I was really exterminated

“What did do you do wrong, Nestor?” “Why would the Ravens throw you out?” “Why are you the only one in the local media whom they’ve thrown out?” “Why have they treated you this way?” “WHAT DID YOU DO WRONG!?!” I am fed up with these questions from Baltimore sports fans so I wrote to the owner because these questions are his to answer. Letters to John Harbaugh and Eric DeCosta are also coming soon.

Our 25 WNST Stories of Glory

WNST STORY OF GLORY No. 9: The power of the WNST Text Service to break and deliver sports news

The founder of WNST is an old news hound who was trained by the best in the business in the 1980s at The News American and The Baltimore Sun. When the internet became a thing at the turn of the century and texting quickly became ubiquitous, Nestor Aparicio asked his listeners to join the WNST Text Service sponsored by Koons Ford of Security Blvd. No spam! Ever. It’s been over 18 years since we launched the most trusted source for breaking sports news in Baltimore. What was the big news that you heard first and where were you when you received the text? (And ask Nestor about the time he purposely launched one in the cafeteria at the Ravens’ Liars Luncheon with NFL schedule news to watch everyone in the room reach for their phones!)

WNST STORY OF GLORY No. 18 – Our Give A Spit 30 MLB Ballparks in 30 Days Marathon

Even though this is further down the list, it might be the greatest thing we’ve ever done. When Jennifer Ford Aparicio was diagnosed with leukemia in March 2014 and survived that summer watching baseball, Nestor was inspired to live out a dream and make it matter. And the 30-30 MLB Give A Spit Tour was born. In June and July of 2015, the couple swabbed for the bone marrow registry in 18 ballparks, swabbing thousands of baseball fans over 30 days and even made it Cooperstown. No rainouts, one passport forgotten, many celebrities and wonderful friends we visited and made along the way on behalf of There Goes My Hero.

Maryland Oyster Tour

The Urban Oyster benedict Hampden

Day 4: Maryland Oyster Tour A divine brunch in Hampden with fritter Benedict deliciousness

We can’t say that we’ve ever had an oyster fritter. And certainly never on savory french toast covered with a perfectly poached egg glazed in scrumptious velvety Hollandaise. Day 4 of The Maryland Oyster Tour took Nestor to Hampden and the absolutely divine oyster fritter and eggs Benedict at The Urban Oyster on The Avenue for Sunday brunch. This might’ve been the best thing we tasted on the tour!

“We all want the same things here.”

The choice of Starks sparks Ravens glee about defensive possibilities

It wasn’t hard to read the enthusiasm of the Ravens’ brass in the aftermath of the selection of Georgia safety Malaki Starks with the 27th pick of the first round.

The unraveling of the Orioles pitching and disappearing bats

The Orioles finally won a 2-1 game in Washington to avoid a sweep on Thursday night but Luke Jones and Nestor continue to talk about the fundamental roster problems of a scuffling Birds’ squad that has stacked too many losses early to feel good about the pitching and defense.

Opening the Pikesville Far & Dotter with hometown style and local comfort

It once was a Panera on Reisterstown Road but if you’ve seen the changes, you should stop in and see the newest Far & Dotter storefront.

Delivering safe, pure water all around the beltway

They measure water in parts-per-trillion these days and our pal Doug Workman of Liberty Pure continues to educate Nestor on some Baltimore water basics about well water, reservoir, contaminates and ways to make sure it’s Liberty Pure – fresh and safe. Have you seen this truck?

McCallum: All of the April issues that ail Birdland

It’s getting late kinda early this spring as the Baltimore Orioles have provided an April thud.

Baltimore vs. Washington (again)

Our old WTOP Sports pal Dave Preston discusses the current state of Washington and Baltimore sports. The Orioles struggling with the worst starting pitching in the majors and frigid bats.

Is Brandon Hyde the right leader for Orioles?

The pitching is battered and bad. The bats have been silent and morale appears near rock bottom. The Baltimore Orioles are in a bad spot and Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the job of Brandon Hyde – the motivator and manager – as the slump worsens and the left-handed pitchers on the other side stack up on the hill. Twenty four runs allowed on Sunday. One lousy hit for the offense on Tuesday. Something’s gotta give…

It’s always time well spent on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour talking rock music, Orioles baseball and his business as a lifelong NFL player agent with Chad Wiestling, who lives here in Baltimore but will be in Green Bay with his client and superstar running back Josh Jacobs all weekend. Lots of football knowledge in this one…

Assessing the Charlie Morton disaster

After a 24-2 beat down in his latest start, Luke Jones and Nestor wonder what happens next for Charlie Morton and the Baltimore Orioles’ beleaguered starting rotation with the season teetering in the wrong direction (already).

The real financial damage of tariffs on Main Street America

Bringing the Maryland Crab Cake Tour back to The Beaumont in Catonsville in the recent aftermath of the damage to the stock market and your 401K retirement accounts, it was imperative we get former Baltimore County Councilman and notorious financial centrist Tom Quirk back to do the math on tariffs, federal cuts and the damage being done to local government and business by the lunacy of it all.
