Spending a March evening in State College waiting on Bruce Springsteen and watching Nittany Lions fans prepare for basketball March Madness, Nestor noticed the wrestling thing and asked the longtime basketball color voice of Happy Valley Dick Jerardi to explain "We Are" and talk Big 10 basketball, Bob Baffert and Kentucky Derby hopefuls.
Our rock and roll soul from Portland, Oregon talks the new rules of baseball, the summer hopes of the Baltimore Orioles and why tribute bands matter in the modern music scene.
Luke Jones and Nestor get you ready to watch the Terps and Mountaineers with the WNST Baltimore Positive community on Thursday at Hollywood Barstool Sports Restaurant in Perryville. Let's make West Virginia fear the turtle.
Our financial insider Leonard Raskin joins Nestor to discuss memories of The Bullies of Baltimore and going to The Big Game – just once, or maybe twice?
John Martin of Maryland Lottery tells Nestor how far we've come since last year's Super Bowl on sports wagering in our state and how we got to bring "Las Vegas" for The Big Game to the palm of your hand for the first time this week.
How committed is Nestor Aparicio to covering the Baltimore Ravens as a lifelong journalist? He left BWI during the plague traveling to Houston along with just one other local journalist to cover a game before there was a vaccine in vacant NRG Stadium. Read his #ColumnNes report back from when "The Knee" was a thing that got NFL players blackballed and football was the only thing open for business during a worldwide pandemic.
This is my story. This is the truth. And it must be told. In its entirety because it's so outrageous as to be almost unbelievable. Covering the Ravens is all I’ve ever done professionally since the team arrived in Baltimore in 1996, and this is how I feed my family and pay my bills as a small local business and AM 1570 radio operator and entrepreneur.
If Lamar Jackson regrets the statement to the fellow in Pennsylvania, he should’ve offered an apology to him. If he regrets the world seeing his ugly words, Jackson has a platform with a million followers and could’ve offered an apology. If it was truly “out of character,” then show your character and admit a mistake and move on.
