Coppin State Anthony Jenkins

Coming back to Coppin State and The Nest

In the first of many Coppin State conversations in our 14th year of Baltimore Positive partnership as the WNST flagship of Eagles sports, President Dr. Anthony Jenkins returns to get Nestor for another semester of learning and life in West Baltimore, where the campus and spirit grows at The Nest.

John Eisenberg Bird Tapes

Eisenberg on thud of Orioles quick exit: “It was not appealing baseball”

Our mentor and longtime columnist at The Baltimore Sun, John Eisenberg returns with more lost Bird Tapes telling the history of Orioles baseball, and schools Nestor on Orioles offseason ownership history and some Washington and Baltimore football lore as the Commanders come north to face the Ravens.

Oriole Park

The business of Orioles baseball and what will make “The Next Chapter” successful?

In their usual wide-ranging chats, our financial guy Leonard Raskin joins Nestor to celebrate their birthdays this week while discussing the Orioles’ struggles on the field and in the stands, the Ravens’ performance in Cincy and the differences between Baltimore and Washington over the years as Jayden Daniels and the Commanders come to the Charm City.

Do you love those memories of Capital Centre as much as we do?

Capital Centre retrospective book author Kevin Leonard regales Nestor with stories of Landover childhood glory and Abe Pollin from Costas Inn on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour. Everything you ever wanted to know about your favorite red and blue arena on the D.C. beltway where all the stars shined. (You need to get this book!)

Washington Commanders at Baltimore Ravens

The Battle For Maryland is real this time: Jayden vs. Lamar in Baltimore

We always felt like this should be more of a “rivalry” than a novelty. Luke Jones and Nestor get ready for a high-stakes battle between the team from the south in the burgundy in gold coming to Baltimore to face the Ravens as a 4-1 upstart NFL darling. Should be plenty of offense in this one on Sunday.

Is Washington football ready to hail victory once again?

Earning back the trust of lost fan bases has been a theme here this week. Our old pal Chick Hernandez of USA9 returns to give Nestor some truths about the incredible transformation of the Washington NFL franchise, hailing victory once again and coming to Baltimore (and bringing fans buying high-priced tickets) for a Jayden Daniels vs. Lamar Jackson matchup that has locals ready for football.

Commanders Ravens

A packed house and big prices as Washington comes to Baltimore for a big football game

Tucking away another unlikely Ravens win in Cincy

It’s been a tough start to the season for Baltimore Ravens special teams unit over the first quarter of the season. After watching the Bengals operation fail with the game on the line, Luke Jones and Nestor give the purple special teams and the Hall of Fame foot of Justin Tucker some overtime conversation for saving day and beating Cincinnati.

“What was John Harbaugh thinking calling that timeout?”

In a game full of exciting plays and an unlikely come-from-behind 41-38 overtime win over division rival Cincinnati, Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the continuously curious coaching decisions of John Harbaugh with timeouts and game and clock management.

Empty Oriole Park playoffs

Did Mr. Rubenstein and Catie Griggs see all of Orioles empty seats for playoff games at Camden Yards?

If the whole sections of empty green seats at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in October don’t send a bright orange signal for change and improvement to the new ownership of the Baltimore Orioles, there is no hope. Luke Jones and Nestor wonder aloud where the franchise goes – on and off the field – with new owner David Rubenstein in what they hope will be an offseason of massive transition and accountability that fans haven’t witnessed in three decades.

The injuries and frosty late season bats of 2024 Orioles

The Baltimore Orioles managed just one run in two games of the AL Wild Card round against the Kansas City Royals. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the woeful bats of the October Orioles and what happens next for Elias and roster after a summer where it wasn’t good enough – or healthy enough – to win postseason baseball games.

…and still waiting for the next Orioles parade

It’s been a long time since the last time for the Baltimore Orioles and a civic celebration. Our old schooler Leonard Raskin joins Nestor at Costas Inn on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour to reminisce and pine away for the next time we have a championship parade in Baltimore for baseball.

Trying to figure out what went wrong in Orioles season of promise

The injuries mounted, the errors added up and the offense withered through the summer. We always worried about the pitching but in the Wild Card round, Corbin Burnes and Zach Eflin were tremendous. The offense was atrocious and the season is suddenly over. The Orioles scored one run in 18 innings. Luke Jones and Nestor lament a lost season after the Wild Card meltdown losses to the Kansas City Royals.

Samuel Cosby NKF Kidney

What it takes to get a kidney and save a life

We’ve told many stories with the folks from the National Kidney Foundation to support events like the Kidney Walk on October 6th at UMBC. But, when you meet Sam Cosby and hear his inspiring journey, you might want to do more than just walk and run. Are you a match?

Getting an invite to the best party of the year

Our forever pal James Bond of the Living Classrooms Foundation gets Nestor ready for Maritime Magic in Fells Point on October 4th. Come down and eat and drink and dance and learn and support one of the great groups that is working to lift and grow Baltimore!

Allen McCallum Orioles

Allen McCallum: Can the Orioles make new memories for Baltimore fans this October?

These two guys watched the 1996 and 1997 Orioles playoff disappointments together from the press box in Cleveland and New York. Now, with the next Baby Birds headed into a second straight October, our old pal Allen McCallum joins Nestor to prep for a wild baseball playoff orange carpet ride once again. Is this the year?

Can Orioles exit Ragans and Royals in a short series?

It’s taken a year for the Baltimore Orioles to get back to the baseball that matters. Luke Jones and Nestor get Birds fans ready for October and sudden death baseball with Kansas City Royals. Gotta win Game 1 and Corbin Burnes vs. Cole Ragans is a good one.

Who is ready to be an October hero for Orioles?

With playoff fever quelled by the sluggish play of the Baltimore Orioles in the second half, Luke Jones and Nestor wonder if the bats can turn on and the bullpen can meet the challenge of an October run as the Kansas City Royals come to Camden Yards for a Wild Card week battle.

No ceiling for Ravens defense after stifling Josh Allen and Bills

It took a month to see a full performance for the Baltimore Ravens defense but it was a complete effort in pummeling Bills quarterback Josh Allen and the Buffalo attack. Luke Jones and Nestor praise the men of Zach Orr and discuss Joe Burrow and the Bengals, who await in Cincinnati on Sunday.

Watching The King royally run over the Buffalo Bills

It was an impressive performance on many levels for the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night but nothing impressed Luke Jones and Nestor more than finally seeing the promise of a running attack that couldn’t be stopped – early and late. Derrick Henry is (still) a Dude.

Big week here in the Charm City. No one does it better…

Brandon Hyde
