Dear John Harbaugh: The long fraud of your goodbye and $oft landing in The Big Apple

Nestor Aparicio

I’ve blessed myself with 60 days to give your rather abrupt departure here some time to fully decant – like a hair-raising, pellet gun plum Ravens vintage – and smelling that musty, stale aroma and a hint of that rancid taste in the mouth you get when someone leaves town wearing a smile that doesn’t quite match the damage they did on the way out. “What do you want me to tell the other humans I know when they ask me about you?”

Ravens deal for the Mighty Maxx and instantly become Super Bowl favorites

Baltimore Positive

The impact of the Maxx Crosby trade will be felt over years but the first reactions of Luke Jones and Nestor are succinct: this is the biggest trade in franchise history and very against many of the principles of the Baltimore Ravens. Here’s why it makes sense for Eric DeCosta – and Lamar Jackson!

For the love of Dan Rodricks and real Baltimore history

Giving Peter King a ring and learning more about the history of NFL

Baltimore Positive

It’s been a while since we heard from legendary NFL insider Peter King so we gave him a call and found out that he’s been hard at work on a new book about the 40 years of his trail of covering the biggest stories in the sport.

Finding the WBC mojo as spring training splinters for MLB players

Baltimore Positive

The World Baseball Classic and war time stock market fears

A Baltimore “birds” past and present with John Eisenberg

Baltimore Positive

He came to Baltimore 40 years ago and became the venerable columnist at The Sun and then an insider with the Baltimore Ravens but his present passion was rooted in a late 21st century book on the history of Orioles baseball. Author John Eisenberg returns to school Nestor on Birdland lore and the future Bird Tapes of past glories. From Jesse Minter to Craig Albernaz, our mentor is always on point and separating fact from opinion.

The Linderbaum decision looms large for Ravens and DeCosta

Baltimore Positive

The Baltimore Ravens brain trust have assembled in Indianapolis preparing to pick 14th in the NFL Draft in April but the minds of Luke Jones and Nestor are on two massive contract issues that will need closure before the free agency tampering begins in two weeks. First up is the Lamar Jackson restructure but the real market value for center Tyler Linderbaum and the salary cap tolerance for general manager Eric DeCosta will come into full focus before March 11.

How will we know if Jesse Minter is doing a good job?

Baltimore Positive

They won’t kickoff until September but what are the early signs of “success” for the new Baltimore Ravens head coach and his youthful staff?

The “Alby Effect” and how it will affect and infect Orioles youthful energy

With Westburg down, Orioles renew high hopes for Coby Mayo at third base

Baltimore Positive

Luke Jones and Nestor discuss what it means for Coby Mayo and newly-acquired Blaze Alexander now that grapefruit baseball has begun and jobs are available in Baltimore.

Believing in miracles all over again

Baltimore Positive

For the old folks, it was better than it was 46 years ago and on live television. For the youngsters, it was a chance to drink beer at 8 a.m. and yell “USA, USA” for a sport we’ve been waiting for America to fall in love with for real. Leonard Raskin joins Nestor to wave red, white and blue of USA Hockey and memories made from 1980 that extended to Milan and beating the Canadians in 3-on-3 in OT for the gold.

And what will the role of the new Baltimore Orioles ownership be in the looming dogfight?

Profits are up, accountability is down and internal report cards are a no-no for guys like Steve

Baltimore Positive

The NFL continues to rule the sports world even in the slowest of times. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the NFLPA report cards on franchises and transparency and accountability amongst billionaires who can’t even get an Epstein List regular who just hired John Harbaugh to come to light and off their ownership ledgers. We’d ask Steve Bisciotti about it, but of course he’s evaporated again for a while…

Taking another swing at spring training without Holliday and Westburg

Baltimore Positive

There are certainly reasons to be optimistic that the Baltimore Orioles won’t repeat a last-place performance in the American League East but losing two blue-chip, emerging players before March doesn’t lift hope. Luke Jones and Nestor take another swing at spring in Birdland with Jordan Westburg and Jackson Holliday injured before the team takes the field in Sarasota.

The unmistakable purple air of Harbaugh around Minter

Baltimore Positive

They won a lot of football games in Baltimore while John Harbaugh was the coach of the Ravens.

Familiar is comfortable in Owings Mills with the new regime.

Judging the Olympics so far…

Baltimore Positive

Adding Bassitt for real money and losing Holliday for real time

Baltimore Positive

It’s already been a short week of additions and subtractions as the Baltimore Orioles sign veteran starting pitcher Chris Bassitt on a $18.5 million one-year deal and lost Jackson Holliday to a broken hamate bone, which changes the Opening Day lineup.

Making a debate over Hall of Fame credentials of Yanda and Suggs

Sports cartoonist Ricig discusses family mission in Africa and Orioles and Ravens new directives in Baltimore

Baltimore Positive

It’s always time well spent with our oldest sports newspaper pal and lifer cartoonist Mike Ricigliano, who resumed his Ko-host role at Koco’s Pub for “A Cup of Soup Or Bowl” talking about the Orioles and Ravens fortunes this year. But, more importantly, Ricig told Nestor the story about his wife’s family heading to Kenya to help families and children in need in Africa via Future In Our Hands charity mission.

Betting on The Big Game the modern way – safely and legally

Baltimore Positive

Giving the new guy a fair chance

Baltimore Positive

It turns out that John Harbaugh really wasn’t the Baltimore Ravens head coach for life.

And the famously anti-Michigan, pro-Buckeye financial guy has to accept the former foe as savior.

Are the Orioles really “armed” for April?

Baltimore Positive

The new ownership group reached deep into the monetary reserve to sign slugger Pete Alonso in Baltimore but what’s up with the pitching?

Third time is a charm? The dream of Weaver comes back to Baltimore, again

Baltimore Positive

We’re so old that we remember when young Anthony Weaver was a Baltimore Ravens draft pick from Notre Dame and NFL hopeful playing on the defensive line.
