Burgers, music, gumbo and the spirit of survival at Kooper’s North

The games are on, the music is perfect and the food is terrific, which is why we keep coming back to Kooper’s North in Mays Chapel. And, of course, the gumbo!

And, Maurice, if you’re still out there…

Ricig: Drawing the tough sports cartoons comes along with the news

One of the best parts of “A Cup of Soup Or Bowl” is getting all over town and seeing our best sports pals and talking Orioles and Ravens. Legendary sports cartoonist Mike Ricigliano – aka “Ricig” – joins Nestor for some real Ravens’ community talk with the thud to the Bills and Justin Tucker allegations along with high hopes for the Orioles and summer fun. Let our Ko-Host draw you his mental map to cartooning tough issues and controversial topics from Koco’s Pub.

Lighting the Torch for the good news in Towson

As “A Cup Of Soup Or Bowl” week moved around town, we were moved and inspired by all of the great things happening all over Baltimore.

Tooten discusses his Deep South journey and state of education and race in America

Dr. Tim Tooten was no stranger to Baltimore citizens. The longtime education reporter at WBAL-TV and pastor of Harvest Christian Ministries joined us during the early days of COVID in June 2020 to tell us about his journey from the Suwannee River near Gainesville, Florida to Baltimore and what he has learned about people. A very compelling conversation with a Baltimore education reporting legend, who had just retired from his work as a local journalist. We lost a treasure with his passing.

It’s time for Luke and Nestor to talk baseball and Orioles 2025 hopes

They are the Elton John and Bernie Taupin of Baltimore sports media – only gathering a few times a year and making podcasts, videos, blogs and radio from two different states for two decades at WNST Baltimore Positive. Luke Jones and Nestor Aparicio convene at Kooper’s North on “A Cup Of Soup Or Bowl” to discuss the direction of 2025 Baltimore Orioles. It’s baseball season, Birdland…

The ice cold Orioles Hall of Fame credentials of Fancy Clancy

Baltimore’s most beloved beer man since 1974, Clancy Haskett tells Nestor how it’ll be when Orioles finally win the World Series on Crab Cake Row Day 3 of “A Cup Of Soup Or Bowl” from Koco’s Pub in Lauraville. And we begin the campaign to get “Fancy Clancy” into the Orioles Hall of Fame.

The disrespect of MVP snub will only serve to motivate Lamar – even more

Josh Allen looked happy to win his first NFL MVP Award while we all know that Lamar Jackson has his eyes on a bigger prize – even if he deserved his third trophy for the league’s best player.

Making the Canton case for Marshal Yanda in bronze

Over the past three weeks, we’ve welcomed several members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame selection committee onto the show to discuss the candidacies of Marshal Yanda, Terrell Suggs and Steve Smith Sr. Meet Tampa football sportswriter Ira Kaufman, who brings his usual sage insights on what Yanda might be the first to enter the bust room in Canton.

The streets of Smalltimore and whispers about Justin Tucker

This is only the beginning of the Justin Tucker massage parlor scandal in Baltimore and we wonder when the Ravens will be heard from in these allegations – on and off the field. Leonard Raskin and Nestor discuss the civic fallout around town and who knew what and when and what happens next…

When the Lions didn’t roar in January

In lieu of our traditional Super Bowl Radio Row, we’re reaching out to our NFL world to invite voters for the Pro Football Hall of Fame onto the show this week to discuss a trio of Ravens on the Canton ballot.

Mike Nolan: Here’s why this Lamar and King Henry offense set records

After 34 years of coaching in the NFL, when it comes to learning football we turn to old friends like former Ravens coach and 49ers head coach Mike Nolan to help us better understand the game. Time well spent here discussing defensing Lamar Jackson, the power of great ownership and the abilities of coaches to put the best players in a position to make impact.

tucker

Has Justin Tucker kicked his last kick for the Baltimore Ravens?

Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the second wave of reporting from The Baltimore Banner as three more women have forward with credible stories regarding what is now a Justin Tucker massage scandal – and when and the how Baltimore Ravens will react. And, perhaps more importantly, did anyone in Owings Mills know about this over the last decade while he was on the field kicking field goals?

Talking aging, accountability and leadership with still-ready-to-throw Joe Flacco

We gave him a chance to announce his retirement but Joe Flacco says he is not done throwing the football. The well-traveled Super Bowl MVP comes home to Baltimore to talk about Father Time, kids in his house and the locker room, the family life in Indianapolis, great offense, bad analytics and hitting the quarterback. And the answer he gives as to why he went to the podium in Pittsburgh after throwing the Polamalu interception in the 2009 AFC Championship Game is as “elite” as he was in January 2013. Twelve years later, let Joe tell ya what he knows about real life and playing ‘ball…

Chuck Pagano is back in Baltimore and we’re excited about that

It’s quite personal for Nestor Aparicio and his wife, Jennifer, who made Chuck Pagano their first phone call for advice when she was diagnosed with leukemia in 2014. Luke Jones and Nestor welcome the un-retired defensive coaching wizard Pagano back to the Baltimore Ravens and talk defense, secondary and the upcoming Ronnie Stanley free agency decision.

Monopolizing the Community Chest for fun and winning

Our weekly visit with Maryland Lottery Executive Director John Martin had plenty of sports updates for Super Bowl week and wagering but it’s this new scratch-off that Nestor wanted to talk about plus another week of big wins all over the state.

Please join us and give for “A Cup Of Soup Or Bowl” Week on Crab Cake Row

Next week, it’s time once again at Baltimore Positive and WNST-AM 1570 for our 2nd Annual February “Crab Cake Row: A Cup of Soup Or Bowl Week” and we’d love for you to come by and be a part of it as we tell local stories and raise awareness for dozens of different charities, community groups. And, hopefully, you help us by bringing food and donations for the Maryland Food Bank locally through community food pantries that feed hungry Baltimoreans during the toughest weeks of winter.

All details of Verizon Super Bowl Fan Fest in Baltimore on game day

We spoke with Baltimore Ravens’ legend Jamal Lewis earlier in the week about the big Verizon Fan Fest on Super Bowl Sunday and your invitation to join him downtown to watch the big game. Now, Nestor gets all details about this nationwide “World’s Biggest Viewing Party” and all of the family game day fun from Chris Serico, who gives him the inspiration for the party.

Justin Tucker Eagles

Trying to make sense of the salacious Justin Tucker allegations

It’s not what we’re usually discussing but The Baltimore Banner report about Ravens’ kicker Justin Tucker came on Thursday afternoon and Luke Jones and Nestor gave some first thoughts on the reporting, reaction and future for the accused kicker, who struggled on the field this season.

Ross Tucker: Lamar hasn’t played his best football in January

Former NFL offensive lineman-turned-broadcast Ross Tucker has called as many football games as anyone this season and joins Nestor to discuss the tough exit for the Ravens and Lamar Jackson, and the difficulty of being the player who drops the ball with the game on the line. He also brings a special Valentine’s Day message.

The mistakes of January lead to a long offseason

As one of many Pro Football Hall of Fame voters we’ll have on Baltimore Positive this month, NFL historian and author Jason Cole returns to discuss the candidacies of Marshal Yanda, Terrell Suggs and Steve Smith Sr. as well as what the Ravens need to do to make the next step from January into February. And of course, the Chiefs’ attempt at the unprecedented three in a row in New Orleans.

A week later, some thoughts on Mark Andrews and Ravens’ accountability in defeat

The times have changed. We can all acknowledge that while not lowering the bar of expectations of millionaire athletes – in victory or defeat – or the billionaire owners who used to address the fans via the local media this time of year. Luke Jones and Nestor have a longer conversation about Mark Andrews and the Ravens’ accountability in defeat a week after the Buffalo loss as well as a full look ahead to what happens next in Owings Mills in an always-busy offseason for Eric DeCosta and the scouting staff.

Now, Ravens fans will watch as Mahomes attempts to win three in a row

It turns out that the “Lamar Jackson vs. Josh Allen” debate for MVP was a tad bit premature. As Luke Jones and Nestor discuss another Mahomes and Kelce Super Bowl in New Orleans, we wonder what it’s going to take for another AFC team (and quarterback) to break through in the Taylor Swift era.

Cold, hard cash…

The colder it gets; the bigger the prize! These frigid temperatures haven’t been fun to navigate but for some lucky Keno players this month with the Maryland Lottery, the lower the better. Executive Director John Martin talks millions and local winners to start the year and slowing the roll on football season.

What comes after football season  Raskin

Accountability and the agony of defeat

In their weekly gathering of mutual Baltimore sports fandom, Leonard Raskin and Nestor discuss a week of exhaustive football.
