Baltimore Positive

All revved up but striking out at home and fond failed memories of paradise by the baseball light with Meat Loaf

Baltimore Positive

Longtime Meat Loaf drummer John Miceli shares tales of the myth of “Bat Out Of Hell” and the Neverland Express band as the “Celebrating Meat Loaf” group brings a special Halloween show to Rams Head in Annapolis on Saturday afternoon with the music of Jim Steinman with a Rocky Horror twist. And, finally, Nestor gets to tell the “Paradise By The Dashboard Light” Phil Rizzuto story at Merriweather Post Pavilion to the drummer who didn’t miss a beat on that fateful day in 1996.

Snooping through Ravens final prep without Lamar for upstart Falcons in Atlanta

Baltimore Positive

The Baltimore Ravens are rarely an underdog in the Lamar Jackson era but they’ll be without him at the dome in Atlanta as Tyler Huntley seeks to lead the men of purple with a steady diet of Derrick Henry in an effort to defeat the upstart Falcons. Luke Jones and Nestor snoop through the final prep and who will be tackling Bijan Robinson on Sunday night on Peachtree.

The memorable tales of Kixmas, Child’s Play and backstage access at Hammerjacks

Baltimore Positive

Going through all of these memories from four decades ago of rock stars and concerts and the backstage access life gets a little cloudy so our resident rock star John Allen of Stone Horses came back to Pizza John’s in Essex. Nestor surprised his lifer pal with a Child’s Play blast from the #AlmostFamousNes music critic vault of the music memory bank and the receipts of local rock history. Tales of Kixmas, Russ Mottla and 98 Rock, Chrysalis Records and the hair era of the good old boys in East Baltimore making a mark on the world and the “Rat Race” of getting a video played on MTV.

The scary season of big fun and jackpots

Baltimore Positive

We just love saying “Hall-O-Win” every October so having John Martin of The Maryland Lottery return to get Nestor ready for the pumpkin spice and the “Cobweb Cash” means that free candy and some growing jackpots are on the streets.

Bijan Robinson and Falcons appear to be a real problem for Ravens on Sunday night

Baltimore Positive

If you didn’t see Bijan Robinson and the Atlanta Falcons play on Monday night in New Orleans, don’t worry we did. And as Luke Jones and Nestor continue discussing the ankle of Lamar Jackson, we certainly aren’t loving the Baltimore Ravens’ chances on Sunday night in the dome without a full arsenal. It’s nice to be 3-1 in Owings Mills but the men of Jesse Minter have their hands full and a focus on tackling on Peachtree in front of Mike Tomlin and the NBC crew.

The brotherhood of E Street and friendships made through the music of Springsteen

Baltimore Positive

With our newest sponsor (and real life bank) Rosedale Bank coming aboard as a partner at WNST and Baltimore Positive, it was long overdue to bring our longtime pal Don Scheeler to Pizza John’s in Essex on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour to tell his “Rosedale Federal” family story and how he met Nestor on the streets of New York with a free Bruce Springsteen ticket two decades ago. Life on E Street with two guys with real Baltimore roots and an #AlmostFamousNes music memory bank that fills a vault.

Ravens show acute center of attention in Week 5 trade for Jurgens to bolster line in front of gimpy Lamar

Baltimore Positive

And, of course, we have a lot to say about the unique desperation of a Week 5 trade of a 2nd round draft pick for a two-time Pro Bowl, Super Bowl-winning center who was a lousy guard with a back injury history, a big contract and is currently in concussion protocol. All that said, Luke Jones and Nestor still endorse anything that protects Lamar Jackson and gives him a chance to win a Super Bowl for the Baltimore Ravens. Oh, and about his ankle and Tyler Huntley and the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football…

Life with a leaky and learning-on-the limp offensive line isn’t optimal for a gimpy Lamar

Baltimore Positive

We’ve been concerned about the center of the offensive line for eight months and now with Vega Ioane moved into the middle, the guard spots become even more illuminated along with the depth needed to keep pace with the NFL realities. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the depleted unit, the ankle of Lamar Jackson and what it might mean in Atlanta on Sunday night for Declan Doyle and the game plan against the suddenly stout Falcons.

What does modernizing the State’s Attorney office mean for Baltimore County residents?

Baltimore Positive

With elected officials in unique positions, we always start with the roles of the job and incoming Baltimore County State’s Attorney Sarah David unfurls for Nestor her ambitious plans to modernize the Towson office for local citizens. On her second visit to Pizza John’s in Essex on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour, she reiterates her desire to share information to strengthen public safety, grow community engagement and provide transparency about crime and holding criminals accountable.

Let’s Light The Night for Blood Cancer United on Friday at the stadium

Baltimore Positive

Join the Blood Cancer United team with survivors, warriors and walkers all coming together to Light The Night with reds, whites and yellows all around the stadium as we celebrate and remember all who have battled bravely once again to raise money and awareness to keep folks alive. Nestor welcomes Brandi Orcutt-Velez to learn all of the details of this year’s evening, which promises perfect weather at the stadium.

Here a flag, there a flag plagues Ravens on both sides of the ball

Baltimore Positive

John Harbaugh is long gone as the head coach of the Baltimore Ravens but the penalties that often were assigned as his task to clean up have remained under rookie leader Jesse Minter. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the defense, flags and how the problem will affect the team if Lamar Jackson isn’t on the field Sunday night in Atlanta.

Souvenirs, steak and the sweet smell of victory in Rio de Janeiro

Baltimore Positive

The beaches, the mountains and the 56-yard field goal of Tyler Loop made the 5,000-mile journey for every Baltimore Ravens fan taste like a fresh caipirinha on the sands of Copacabana after beating the Dallas Cowboys. And even more so for our money insider Leonard Raskin, who returns from Rio with full a Ravens fan and tourist report about Brazil for Nestor.

What happens when Jim Palmer talks to Orioles management?

Baltimore Positive

As if the Baltimore Orioles don’t have enough problems and real drama, this week it was the words of Jim Palmer and the disregard and defense of manager Craig Albernaz that engaged Birdland while the MLB playoffs rolled along on the field. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Hall of Fame discourse and the tone-deaf ownership and management of this whole David Rubenstein era of leadership, on and off the field and its ear toward the franchise heroes who built Camden Yards and the fans who support the Orioles two billion-dollar brand.

Getting that important check-up in the neighborhood with GBMC

Baltimore Positive

It’s nice when you can find a doctor in the neighborhood without having to go to the hospital so Nestor was pleased to chat with Dr. Ashley Yuen, who educates us about her GBMC family practice right in East Towson and all of the great reasons to get a check-up for peace of mind and body.

Another sloppy win and lingering concerns for Lamar muddy the week ahead

Baltimore Positive

Any win is a good one but the Baltimore Ravens needed to survive an onside kick late after another defensive meltdown in a game that Lamar Jackson left early with an ankle problem and a limp. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the concerns after a too-narrow-for-confidence 24-18 win over the lowly Tennessee Titans.

Life inside The Star, the superstars of MLB and rock star memories with the “other” Mussina

Baltimore Positive

Three decades ago when Mike Mussina was toeing the rubber at Camden Yards, his younger Mark struck up a friendship with Nestor that has lasted a lifetime. And in the week after a Baltimore Ravens’ victory over his beloved Dallas Cowboys, it was time to turn to a one-time WNST radio host when the station began 28 years ago to bring the MLB playoffs and our 28th anniversary music memory bank exploration full circle with a side order of Meat Loaf and Van Halen. And maybe some Tommy Conwell…

Fall fun, purple winners and new games

Baltimore Positive

As the Home Run Riches seasons winds up and the Ravens scratch-off season kicks into full gear, Senior Advisor John Martin of The Maryland Lottery brings Nestor into October ready to win and learn about some new games and ways to win.

When you make a lifer friend camping out for Billy Joel tickets at Hecht’s in 1983

Baltimore Positive

This recent gathering of old music tickets, artifacts and memories would not be complete without reaching to the guy Nestor met as a 14-year old camping out for concert tickets at the old Hecht’s at Reistertown Road Plaza. Our old Live Aid and lifer pal Richard Abrahams brings the rock and roll music memory bank to State Fare in Catonsville on the Maryland Crab Tour, adding huge contributions with tales of U2, The Alarm and The Smithereens to our 28 bands of significance as we count ’em down. Oh, and that time we camped out at The Spectrum for Rush tickets in the dead of winter of 1984…

Schaech: Bringing the Blue Ridge magic back to Baltimore

Baltimore Positive

Edgewood native and now-Nashville-based actor Johnathon Schaech returns to discuss the recent success of his Amazon series “Blue Ridge” and talk Baltimore sports with Nestor as the seasons change and the wait continues for Orioles fans everywhere.

The end of the season Orioles press conference they didn’t want you to see

Baltimore Positive

We are still baffled at the direction of the Baltimore Orioles and nothing was more troubling than watching Mike Elias and Craig Albernaz make excuses without accountability (or ownership representation) at a Monday press conference at The Warehouse that their own network, social media and website didn’t air live. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the future of the franchise and the tumultuous offseason ahead for MLB as the rest of baseball watches the postseason.

Nashville football past, present and future and the legend and lore of Ravens at Titans

Baltimore Positive

Every time we visit Nashville, the downtown area and vibrancy seems to double. Now with a giant new stadium being erected and Super Bowl coming to the Music City in four years, the locals are wondering if the Tennessee Titans and their stolen colors of the Oilers will catch up to the progress on the field. As Cam Ward attempts to find success and Titans come to Baltimore a double-digit dog, we welcomed legendary Associated Press sportswriter Teresa Walker back to update us on the drip and drabs of waiting on Derrick Henry to steamroll his old franchise on Sunday.

The new center of attention as Ravens scramble to find an offensive line

Baltimore Positive

Sure, the Baltimore Ravens should whip the hapless Tennessee Titans at home on Sunday but as Luke Jones and Nestor point out, finding a real and effective offensive line combination must be at the front of concerns as Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry and Zay Flowers look to produce points in the coming weeks. It’s less than ideal. Just ask Eric DeCosta…

I recognize those uniforms the Titans stole from Houston!

Baltimore Positive

There is no one on earth better equipped to tell the story of the Houston Oilers becoming the Tennessee Titans than NFL historian and five-decade Houston Chronicle reporter John McClain, who always makes time to talk football and Hall of Fame worthiness with us. The General provides a full preview and review of how those LuvYaBlue uniforms wound up on Cam Ward on Sunday. Oh, and why the Texans stink so far…

Long scuffling Titans come to Baltimore massive underdogs on Sunday

Baltimore Positive

We don’t play the Tennessee Titans as often as we used to around here but lifer Nashville sportswriter Jim Wyatt returns from the Music City for a realistic and current state of the former Houston Oilers franchise and the debate about those Luv Ya Blue threads they’re sporting and selling. But, about the winning…

Maybe the AFC North is better than we thought?

Baltimore Positive

While all four teams in the AFC ended Week 3 with a 2-1 mark, we’re not so sure that the surge of the Browns and resolve of the Steelers will stand the test of time or the standings. But, for now, the Ravens certainly haven’t looked the part of the dominant outfit we expected a month ago. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the center of the purple concerns on the offensive line and prepare for Titans on Sunday in Baltimore.

Kicking up the many glaring issues that should’ve cost Ravens another loss in Rio

Baltimore Positive

The Dallas Cowboys had four chances on the 1-yard line in the final minute and still lost the game. Fans of the franchise of Jerry Jones are familiar with bad beats but so are Luke Jones and Nestor, who kick up all of the issues the Baltimore Ravens will need to resolve after their miraculous win over America’s Team in South America.

Loop The Redeemer kicks up a memorable win in Rio

Baltimore Positive

The run to Rio de Janeiro ended with an interesting Loop. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss all aspects of the Baltimore Ravens 34-31 win over the Dallas Cowboys on the foot of the kicker whose burden has been heavy since last season’s exit miss in Pittsburgh. This time, it was 56 yards and “good” on a day when the field, the play, the tackling and the run game weren’t always good enough. The guys in purple return to America from South America at 2-1. That’ll work…

Plenty of real concern all around for the sport as MLB playoffs commence (without the Orioles again)

Baltimore Positive

Anytime we can bring our favorite baseball folks together to discuss the state of the game in the fall as the playoffs begin and the leaves change, we’re thrilled. We loved having former MLB outfielder and Towson Tigers alum Casper Wells talking seams with our longtime baseball insider Allen McCallum to debate the Orioles state of the franchise and another gloomy MLB offseason labor mess at State Fare on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour.

Is Lamar Jackson ready to run in Rio?

Baltimore Positive

It feels like that mesh point scramble that helped propel Lamar Jackson to being a two-time MVP candidate with his wheels has been put in the shop by new Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Declan Doyle. Luke Jones and Nestor get ready for Ravens and Cowboys in Rio and talk about when No. 8 becomes a true second running threat in a game that feels like it’ll have a lot of Derrick Henry on the turf at Estádio do Maracanã.

The Orioles long, perilous road back to being a serious contender with lousiness of Team Mike Elias

Baltimore Positive

We don’t think much about this Baltimore Orioles “program” is working as intended. After another season where most things went wrong and not enough went right, Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the franchise’s long road back to the field with the Major League Baseball labor crisis about to ignite and what fans can expect with another Mike Elias “rebuild” that feels extremely unwarranted and unwanted by everyone but the ownership.

A big leadership week for Minter to pick up pieces in Rio

Baltimore Positive

Coming off an ugly home beat, the Baltimore Ravens will hop a plane to Rio de Janeiro and a business trip against the Dallas Cowboys in Brazil. The lights will be bright, the turf will be questionable and the men of Jesse Minter will be depleted and need to respond against the biggest football brand in the world on international television from the legendary Maracana.

The loss of Ernie Accorsi and what he meant to us in Baltimore

Baltimore Positive

We’re not the only ones who loved the late, great Ernie Accorsi. His roots in Hershey and love of Baltimore sports and his journey through Art Modell’s Browns in Cleveland to the Giants of New York and George Young led him to New York Post columnist Mike Vaccaro, who joins Nestor to share stories of their mutual sports passion and friendship with one of the greatest guys we ever met…

All revved up but striking out at home and fond failed memories of paradise by the baseball light with Meat Loaf

Longtime Meat Loaf drummer John Miceli shares tales of the myth of “Bat Out Of Hell” and the Neverland Express band as the “Celebrating Meat Loaf” group brings a special Halloween show to Rams Head in Annapolis on Saturday afternoon with the music of Jim Steinman with a Rocky Horror twist.
