Baltimore at Buffalo has never been better

Baltimore Positive

Sure, the Ravens soundly beat the Buffalo Bills back in September but this one will take place on the frozen tundra of Orchard Park. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss what felt like an inevitable meeting between Baltimore and Buffalo in January and how the M.V.P. debate won’t matter on Sunday night.

The long road to losing for eternally hopefully Buffalo Bills fans

Baltimore Positive

The first time Nestor Aparicio attended an NFL game in Buffalo with Mike Ricigliano in the late 1980s, he met then-Buffalo Bisons baseball general manager Mike Billoni at the Anchor Bar for wings and pizza and heard the enthusiasm for Jim Kelly and The K Gun offense. All these years later, the Bills still haven’t given their hometown a Super Bowl parade but these Buffalonians are sure that Josh Allen is going to be the one that delivers. First up: King Henry and Lamar on Sunday night in Orchard Park.

When Bills expectations were lowered, Allen raised his game

Baltimore Positive

In an offseason of change and what felt like attrition, the Buffalo Bills were expected to be a diminished team but quarterback Josh Allen has raised his game toward an MVP crown and a home matchup with Lamar Jackson on Sunday night in the AFC Divisional Playoff. John Wawrow of the Associated Press in Buffalo gives Nestor a complete Bills primer before the Ravens come for battle in Western New York.

Coming Sunday night: A heavyweight fight in the Buffalo chill

Baltimore Positive

The stakes have never been higher and the task is clear for the Baltimore Ravens. Luke Jones and Nestor preview a Ravens at Bills NFL Divisional playoff matchup in Buffalo that has intrigue all over the field and a hard Monday morning for the loser. And a potential trip to Kansas City to see Patrick Mahomes as a reward for victory. We can’t wait for this one in Orchard Park!

It’s more than just football in Buffalo

Baltimore Positive

The civic hope thrust upon Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is probably unparalleled in the NFL because of the suffering of the franchise. Bills sideline reporter Sal Capaccio joins Nestor to preview Baltimore at Buffalo and Lamar vs. Josh on a wintry night in Orchard Park for a chance to move forward in the Super Bowl tournament.

Ricig Dummy

My lifer friend (and your favorite cartoonist) who loves the Buffalo Bills

Baltimore Positive

Legendary local sports cartoonist Mike Ricigliano and Nestor have been friends since working together at The News American in 1984. Before the Ravens play in Orchard Park for a chance to move on in 2021, let them tell you about their journey with the Buffalo Bills during the K-Gun halcyon days.

There’s no Maryland Monopoly on winning and football and the purple city

Baltimore Positive

There’s no Monopoly on the fun to be had with the new promotion from the Maryland Lottery.

Will Bills’ defense be ready to tackle King Henry on a wintry Buffalo night?

Baltimore Positive

It’s the January matchup we’ve always talked about – the Baltimore Ravens needing to win on a 15-degree night in Buffalo by pounding the football. Bills insider Matt Parrino of Syracuse.com tells Nestor why Josh Allen has earned the love of Buffalo and what a Super Bowl parade would look like in Buffalo on a February day. And a debate about whether Lamar and King Henry can prevail in Orchard Park.

Making a case for NFL greatness with Buffalo Hall of Fame voter Vic Carucci

Baltimore Positive

In an era where an MVP debate between Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen can be divisive, we defer to the legendary Hall of Fame voter and NFL historian Vic Carucci, who joins Nestor from Buffalo to discuss what makes a quarterback “valuable” and how he thinks of Ravens’ Canton candidates Terrell Suggs, Marshal Yanda and Steve Smith Sr. Oh, and there’s a little football game in Orchard Park this weekend with huge stakes in our hometowns.

Commanders Ravens

The state of Maryland is focused on football as Commanders and Ravens keep rolling in January

Baltimore Positive

Of course we’re on the purple side of the Maryland NFL picket fence but we’ve noticed the signs of life from Landover. Leonard Raskin and Nestor discuss the local Ravens’ passion for football and how all of that enthusiasm skipped the nation’s capital until Jayden Daniels and Dan Quinn hailed up. It’s quite a weekend of state pride football ahead as Baltimore goes to Buffalo and Washington travels to Detroit.

Shoveling dirt on Steelers and shuffling off to Buffalo

Baltimore Positive

It was quite a Saturday night at The Bank for the Baltimore Ravens. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Ravens’ dismantling of the Pittsburgh Steelers and get Baltimore football fans ready for a huge Sunday NFL Divisional Playoff heavyweight brawl with the Buffalo Bills in Orchard Park.

Talking NFL revenue, player contracts, union leverage and the future of American sports leagues all over the world with our returning champion and super agent Leigh Steinberg, who joins Nestor to discuss the lineage of the billions of dollars and jobs of the NFL offseason as another Super Bowl tournament begins with his quarterback Patrick Mahomes watching football this weekend and waiting for another chance for a Lombardi Trophy.

Charlie Morton Orioles

Measuring the Orioles rotation move to Charlie Morton

Baltimore Positive

Luke Jones and Nestor begin the new year by measuring the Orioles’ acquisition of veteran pitcher Charlie Morton and evaluating the real strategy of Mike Elias under new ownership led by David Rubenstein.

Going to the Canton school of what makes a Hall of Famer

An unlikely Baltimore and Pittsburgh friendship: How Mike Tomlin really feels about Nestor

Nestor Aparicio

Back in 2016 when Mike Tomlin joined John Harbaugh and Brian Billick on stage in downtown Baltimore for “A Night of Heroes” and Super Bowl championship stories of leadership, the future Hall of Fame Pittsburgh Steelers head coach had some pointed (yet comedic) words for Nestor Aparicio and self-hatred. This will also tell you a lot about Baltimore Positive and who we are…

Mike Flynn

The “legend” of Ravens’ Super Bowl champion Mike Flynn

Baltimore Positive

He’s always been a legend to us but it was the magic of a quarter-of-a-century of memories flooding back on the field when Super Bowl XXXV champion center Mike Flynn returned to the Baltimore Ravens as a “Legend of Game” with his family and personal tales of Lamar support for MVP. And Costas crabs, of course on his way outta town…

hineswardradiorow

Hines Ward says Ravens-Steelers rivalry is only thing he misses from playing days

Baltimore Positive

When folks ask Nestor Aparicio, “What is your favorite interview ever?” this one is high on the list. The former Pittsburgh wide receiver (who inconceivably isn’t in the Pro Football Hall of Fame) talked with Nestor and Luke Jones on Radio Row in Arizona ahead of Super Bowl XLIX. This one was fun! A perfect prelude to any Steelers-Ravens game…

Finding the right Match in the New Year

Baltimore Positive

Understanding how to play Multi-Match is where the fun begins. The jackpot for a fun in-state game is best explained by John Martin of The Maryland Lottery as 2025 has begun with some big jackpots, new games and local winners.

WNST STORY OF GLORY No. 4: The night we brought Harbaugh, Tomlin and Billick together to share Super Bowl glory stories

Nestor Aparicio

In the aftermath of Jennifer Aparicio’s miraculous survival following a second bone marrow transplant, we were inspired to do a second “Night of Heroes” after leukemia survivor Chuck Pagano came back to Baltimore in 2015 to raise money and awareness for There Goes My Hero and the power of swabbing to save lives. If you missed one of the great nights in Baltimore vs. Pittsburgh sports partnerships in May 2016, you can relive it by watching three Super Bowl winning head coaches on one stage for a great cause. This was also the last public appearance of former Ravens president David Modell, who had some very important words, as did Super Bowl XXXV champion James Trapp, who also survived leukemia. A powerful evening.

Can Ravens beat Steelers without Zay Flowers?

Baltimore Positive

The Baltimore Ravens will be without their speedy wide receiver on Saturday night in an AFC Wild Card playoff game with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Zay Flowers injury and how the Ravens will attack their rivals at home on a cold winter night in a knockout game.

steelers vs ravens

Suddenly, no one thinks Steelers can win in Baltimore

Baltimore Positive

The Steelers haven’t won in a month. The Ravens haven’t lost in a month. Will Graves of The Associated Press in Pittsburgh says it’s hard to find reasons to feel confident in a Russell Wilson offense that has sputtered down the stretch as Mike Tomlin has a motivational sell to his veteran players to salvage a lost season with a big underdog win in Baltimore on Saturday night.

Finally welcoming the Steelers back to Baltimore for a playoff game…

Baltimore Positive

The last time the Steelers came to Baltimore for an NFL playoff game, it involved Donald Kroner, a plane crash and a bad home loss. That was 1976. As Leonard Raskin and Nestor reminisce about the more recent January battles of the Ravens going to Pittsburgh for this epic rivalry, this one figures to be a much more favorable match up for Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry to run to the next stop on a Super Bowl run as a 3 seed over the struggling renegades on the run Saturday night.

Realities of growth of sports wagering and season of local playoff football
