The Ravens talked all week about being locked in, and in the end, they were. Creating turnovers. And even landing on your own fumbles. It all matters this time of year. Turnovers turn over games. The Steelers made too many mistakes. Russell Wilson fumbled early and got picked late. Ballgame.
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.
Former Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Mark Clayton has stayed in touch with WNST ever since the day he was drafted 20 years ago and was a frequent guest on our Monday Night Live shows. Now an entrepreneur, the former first-round draft pick from Oklahoma tells Nestor his unlikely journey into the world of premium sound, full body athletic movement and finding a headset that goes where you wanna go when you are trying to break a sweat.
It was a garden variety three-touchdown road victory for the Baltimore Ravens over another road-grated NFC slappy. Nestor Aparicio writes in his #ColumnNes, The New York Giants never really had a chance.
Not many bands insisted on inviting then-youthful Baltimore Sun music critic Nestor Aparicio backstage after a concert for an interview – but ZZ Top insisted back in January 1991. Turns out when Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill of the little Texas band welcomed him into their dressing room for a post-show at the Capital Centre, it was all about their work with the Delta Blues Museum. For the record, the most accommodating rock stars ever…
You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll learn. Watch “No One Listens; Everyone Hears” – The Story of Baltimore Positive, Nestor Aparicio & WNST” here. A documentary film narrated by Kyf Brewer, Gina Schock, Mickey Cucchiella, Mike Brilhart, John Allen, Ray Bachman and Bill Cole. Special and eternal thanks to Gregg Landry and Blue Rock Productions for the spiritual guidance and documentary awesomeness on this project. Nestor and his family and partners would like to thank every one of you for four decades of support of WNST, our sponsors and advertisers who allow us to do this Baltimore Positive thing.
With both jackpots soaring for the holidays, John Martin of Maryland Lottery gets seasonal with holiday winners and scratch-off success with Nestor as Mega Millions and Powerball grow and glow with possibilities.
The Ravens encountered the No. 1 defense in the NFL and lost the fight. The Eagles are a balanced football team. The Ravens run defense was gashed. And the greatest kicker in history of the sport has lost his mojo. The Baltimore Ravens have a lot to think about over the next two weeks.
We’ve been doing radio shows at Greenmount Station in Hampstead for almost 15 years with our pal Chris Richards. This time for the Maryland Crab Cake Tour, Tim Lohrfink from the sports wagering side of the OTB in Carroll County comes aboard to provide some sports wagering realities now that the mobile side has become easier and more mature in Maryland.
What does it say that Nestor Aparicio has been professionally bullied, gaslit and banned by Orioles and Ravens ownership after four decades of covering Baltimore sports as a professional reporter, author and journalist? Plenty. About billionaires, money, fealty and the death of local sports journalism and the emergence of team websites as monopoly “news” sources. Read and learn…
Our first WNST Ravens reporter Tim Watts joins Nestor at Greenmount Station on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour for memories of turn of the century Baltimore sports glory and tales of tailgates, football players, charity events and pictures that capture the evidence – for better or worse.
Luke Jones and Nestor give final thoughts before HarBowl III as Ravens head to Chargers for Monday Night family showdown in Los Angeles
“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.
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh privately vowed to help Nestor Aparicio with his media credential bullying situation with Chad Steele in any way he could. Weeks later, Aparicio was exterminated. Harbaugh then told him he was unhappy about it but powerless because it wasn’t his department in Owings Mills.
There’s no place like home for the holidays and no one more makes us feel more warm and welcome during December than our incredible sponsors, friends, supporters and local businesses that power us up all year-round. The Maryland Crab Cake Tour is back on the road for the egg nog, conversations, conviviality and fellowship over some seasonal treats and shipping the best of Baltimore anywhere you – or loved ones – will be this holiday season.
The Baltimore Ravens are not playing smart football. The lack of discipline across the board has reared its head and leaves them as indistinct as their 7-4 mark headed to face to the Chargers.
They are the most penalized team in the NFL. And continually adding to the resume.
They have earned the distinction of the 32nd-ranked team against the pass. Somehow, the Steelers even managed to run for 122 yards on them on Sunday.
“Son, have I got a little story for you! Is there something wrong? Well, of course there is. Hey, I’m still alive…just out on the porch. Hear my name. Take a good look. This could be the day.”
Four-decade local journalist Josh Kurtz of Maryland Matters joins Nestor to discuss the many issues, campaigns and dollars being worked during Election Week 2024 and the issues that matter most to voters here and all over the United States of America. Democracy dies in darkness.
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!
Longtime Cleveland voice Kenny Koda of WHBC joins Nestor from the cradle of football in Canton to discuss the agony of Browns fans and disgrace of ownership in the DeShaun Watson fiasco after years of last-place football.
It’s been a very healthy campaign thus far for the the Baltimore Ravens but this is the first week when the injury report has become a concern. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the short week, potential trade deadline movements and big expectations heading to Cleveland.
The world lost a force of nature. We lost a dear friend, mentor and spiritual north star when longtime sportswriter and columnist Phil Jackman of The Evening Sun died at 87 last week. This is a 2003 sitdown with the reformed TV repairman. It’s two hours of his life, views on sports and the world and tales never told about Ali, Yaz, Earl Weaver and Andre The Giant.
On the eve of his 56th birthday, Nestor receives a gift from the aurora borealis gods when the Northern Lights descend on Towson, Maryland on an October night. Leonard Raskin joins Nestor for birthday pineapple pizza at Pizza John’s on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour and tales of a No. 1 “bucket list” item being unwittingly crossed off on an hour’s notice.
It’s been gone for a few months and has been transformed and modernized. Where were you when you heard the big news anytime between 2006 and June of this year? Probably somewhere that your phone went off with Ravens or Orioles breaking news from our Luke Jones getting it to you FIRST… @BaltimoreLuke
Longtime NFL insider Mike Silver returns to tell Nestor the roots of his new book, “The Why Is Everything,” exploring the history of the Shanahan family football tree, with roots in the franchise of Dan Snyder in Washington more than a decade ago. Silver praises the talent of Lamar Jackson and still wonders how the Ravens ever let him test the free agent market last spring.
John Martin of Maryland Lottery celebrates fall baseball excitement and tells Nestor about the huge Multi Match jackpot that is all about us.
Wendy Bronfein and Nestor discuss the biggest party of the year to benefit The Living Classrooms Foundation. Maritime Magic is Friday night and you’re invited.
Actor Thomas Sadoski tells Nestor the roots of his passion for Baltimore Ravens football and his new role in “American Sports Series: Aaron Hernandez” on FX, a dark mini-series tale of the troubled New England Patriots tight end and his murders and death.
When Nestor received an email from Elon University professor and author David Bockino about his local role in a 1997 television football picks show called “Beat The Pros” with Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor and the NFL architect of the 46 defense Buddy Ryan, he agreed to tell the whole story for the first time on the air. The stuff you remember when you think you’ve forgotten everything…
This is my story in my own words. Listen and learn about how the NFL treats the local media and avoids the tough questions and intimidates local media who have traveled and reported on Baltimore football since before Art Modell brought the Ravens here in 1995. What happened is wrong and here’s why…
We all loved everything about the first three quarters of football in Dallas on Sunday. Then the fourth quarter happened. Nestor checks in with #ColumnNes after the Ravens’ 28-25 win over the Cowboys in Arlington.
The Baltimore Ravens have a $50 million quarterback and a fifty-cent offensive line. Nestor Aparicio says in his #ColumnNes that it feels like the Ravens don’t lose much but when they do it’s usually involved some creative decisions, big botches and failed plays. And John Harbaugh lords over it all.
Nestor was once Down Under with The Boss and saw Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band three times inside of a week…then Eddie Vedder showed up in the pit in Brisbane! Could it happen in Baltimore this week?
What is there to say about any Week 1 game in NFL in any year? It’s always choppy, sloppy and stoppy. And that’s just the officiating…
We’ve been waiting since January for this one. The Baltimore Ravens head to Kansas City to face the Super Bowl champions with some news faces and new possibilities in the running game. Let Luke Jones and Nestor get you prepped for Lamar and Mahomes to kickoff the NFL season. Are you ready for some football?
Baltimore County Executive and Congressional Candidate Johnny Olszewski joins Nestor from MACo in Ocean City to discuss hometown issues, diversity in our area and the legacy of Dutch Ruppersberger.
Dan Shaughnessy of The Boston Globe talks Red Sox, new Orioles ownership and legacy of Bill Walton
Last week, they did the podcast at Kooper’s Tavern in Fell’s Point and now Bill Cole and Nestor reconvene after Maryland Fleet and Pride Weekend in Baltimore with tales of a city that shined with happy Philly tourists and plenty of pride.
Wendy Bronfein of Curio Wellness gets a Move testimonial from Nestor for topical pain relief after Northern Lights adventure
Beating the Yankees is always a rare and beautiful sight for any Orioles fan to witness and behold. But, as Nestor Aparicio explained to Luke Jones, it’s more fun whilst sitting over the New York dugout heckling Juan Soto, Aaron Judge and Anthony Rizzo every time they fail in another Orioles Magic beat down of the Bronx Bombers at Camden Yards with friends.
