Luke Jones and Nestor fete the dominant AFC top seeded Baltimore Ravens on a regular season for the ages after a 56-19 dismantling of the Miami Dolphins to earn three weeks of time to get ready for the next game that counts. One win away from bringing an AFC Championship Game to Baltimore for the first time since 1971.

If you ever bump into Nestor and want one of the wilder stories of his journey, ask him about the night he did a charity event with Steve McNair in Nashville. We took several busloads and planeloads of Ravens fans to Nashville several times. The 2001 playoff party was legendary but it was in January 2009 when the former Oilers, Titans and Ravens quarterback came to Limelight to greet a sea of purple. And then we threw a party. The videos tell the story better than we ever could. Especially that poor taxi driver...

Even though this is further down the list, it might be the greatest thing we've ever done. When Jennifer Ford Aparicio was diagnosed with leukemia in March 2014 and survived that summer watching baseball, Nestor was inspired to live out a dream and make it matter. And the 30-30 MLB Give A Spit Tour was born. In June and July of 2015, the couple swabbed for the bone marrow registry in 18 ballparks, swabbing thousands of baseball fans over 30 days and even made it Cooperstown. No rainouts, one passport forgotten, many celebrities and wonderful friends we visited and made along the way on behalf of There Goes My Hero.
It was as impressive an effort as any in Ravens' history. Five interceptions, almost flawless offense and a holiday win to make Santa Claus proud. Luke Jones and Nestor recap a glorious Christmas effort by Ravens in beating 49ers 33-19 in Santa Clara behind the art of Lamar Jackson and a defensive gem in befuddling Niners quarterback Brock Purdy.
We always find it rather comical that the Orioles and Angelos family nitpicks with Major League Baseball about the City Connect jerseys. In the modern era, everything the franchise does attempts to "reconnect" with the Baltimore fan base that it spent years alienating and subjugating by pampering to Washington baseball fans with the lack of the hometown city name on the road jerseys. Our radio station, hosts and listeners spent the first decade of our existence as the hometown sports radio station trying to explain to Peter Angelos why "BALTIMORE" across the crests of the visiting grays was not just a marketing ploy or a sales pitch, but a way of life for the home team.
It's complicated – and always will be, the Colts thing in Baltimore for anyone who was alive in 1984. Over a quarter of a century it's never been ignored but back in 2011 at the Indianapolis Super Bowl, Nestor finally put down the sword and the horseshoe for his mental health writing a letter to the citizens of Indiana that got nearly a million views during Radio Row week. But it didn't come without raising a whole lotta hell for a quarter of a century.
