Legendary WJZ sports guy John Buren joined Nestor in honoring Fatso back when he had plenty of energy to tell his story – in the way that only Artie could tell it!
He arrived with Kordell Stewart, refused to sign autographs and had an awesome mink coat. But as you will hear, Prime sat center stage and answered every question from every Ravens fan when he was no longer in the "prime" of his legendary career.
