“The High Standards and Low Profile of Steve Bisciotti”

Nestor Aparicio

We know, we know. We’ve been a little hard in coming with legitimate, probing questions for billionaire NFL owner Steve Bisciotti in the aftermath of the firing of John Harbaugh this week.

Where is Steve Bisciotti hiding and when will he appear?

Writing the book on the most powerful position in sports

Nestor Aparicio

With his book on the evolution and the biography of great quarterbacks now a best-seller, it was perfect time to visit with author Seth Wickersham of ESPN, who joins Nestor to discuss what creates and powers the modern position toward success – and failure. Always a great chat with one of America’s great sportswriters.

Leibovich: On the swamp and racket of The Big Game and bad government

Baltimore Positive

“It’s the best book ever written about the modern National Football League,” so says Nestor about Big Game. And that’s why we love having its author Mark Leibovich back on when his New England Patriots proudly return to Baltimore for some playoff knockout style football. Now with The Atlantic, the longtime political insider for The New York Times is also heavily immersed in Trumplandia and weighs in on the ongoing Epstein saga and the usual D.C. shenanigans.

Here’s why now is the perfect time to get intelligent about AI

Baltimore Positive

At some point, you’ll embrace artificial intelligence because it’s here to stay.

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.

It’s such a significant game because it will define what has been a confounding, deflating and defeated season for the Baltimore Ravens.

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…

Let’s welcome in happiness and better health in 2026

Baltimore Positive

With the grand opening of the state-of-the-art Planet Fitness on York Road in Timonium, we told our friends Justin Drummond and April Fowler that we’d bring the Maryland Crab Cake Tour by to welcome them into the new year if they’d provide the inspiration and the awesome PF Times Square party hats.

Anything can happen in Pittsburgh

Baltimore Positive

It’s the biggest game of the year and it’s come down to Baltimore at Pittsburgh for the AFC crown. The Ravens are a 3 1/2-point favorite to beat the Steelers and host a playoff game after a 1-5 start and a wild weekend for Derrick Henry in Green Bay and Aaron Rodgers without D.K. Metcalf in Cleveland. Nothing makes sense. But here’s what we do know…

The drama of Ravens at Steelers builds (again) as frustrated franchises fear failure fallout

Former Steelers QB Charlie Batch returns in advance of the Ravens return to Pittsburgh in a battle for the AFC North crown to give Nestor insights on the final stand of Aaron Rodgers, the Lamar Jackson injury and ways that the favored Ravens can come to The Confluence and eliminate Mike Tomlin with Derrick Henry pounding the ball and Snoop Huntley playing the quiet reserve role that he once made famous in the Steel City.

Saving a lost season still possible for Harbaugh and Ravens in Pittsburgh

Baltimore Positive

It’s been quite a slog for everyone involved in the Baltimore Ravens organization in 2025. Leonard Raskin and Nestor take a real assessment of the end of a football season and the beginning of the playoffs and another chance for the men of John Harbaugh to redeem themselves – and their turbulent season – in Pittsburgh.

Hail, hail Halethorpe! A Honey of a spot to shoot pool, watch the game and taste fresh flavor

Baltimore Positive

This stands as a warning to anyone who invites Nestor by their place for the Maryland Crab Cake Tour: you’re an invite and a taste away because he’s en route to meet more great local folks who want to promote their business. Owner Soo Mi Kang of Honey’s in Halethorpe invited us over and must’ve known that offering “Crabby Toast” would invoke the legend of Charles Markwood Eckman. Competitive billiards, great food and the game is always on at this old-school joint on the south side.

Is it time to “move on” from John Harbaugh?

Baltimore Positive

When you park Derrick Henry with a two-score lead at home and the season on the line and lose the game, it’s time to discuss the job security of the head coach. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss yet another blown 4th quarter home lead, this time to the New England Patriots and the future of John Harbaugh became quite the hot take topic amongst Baltimore Ravens fans on the internet in the aftermath. But it’s a fair question: who is running this mess?

The Misters Robinson of Baltimore and our fractured city in 1966

Baltimore Positive

His next stage production at The BMA begins on March 5th and Dan Rodricks returns to Gertrude’s for the holidays to take Nestor back to his Aparicio roots with the 1966 Baltimore Orioles winning the World Series – and the realities of the city, race, politics and a colorful upcoming show “No Mean City: Baltimore 1966.”

What could two Dundalk teachers with 105 years of experience possibly still teach us about science and music?

It didn’t even seem possible that colleagues Calvin Statham (59 years) and George Scheulen (46 years), who once taught Nestor at Holabird Junior High School in 1979, could still be teaching him about the important things in life beyond chorus and physics all these years later. Two beloved Baltimore County educators continue trying to tame their rambunctious student for the holidays with music and love (and crab cakes) at Costas Inn in Dundalk.

Sausage, soccer and suffering local World Cup madness

Baltimore Positive

Bringing the Maryland Crab Cake Tour back to DiPasquale’s for an Italian tour of the holidays, we knew Darren The Sausage King would bring us some seasonal favorites.

Finding the history and center of community support at St. Francis in Reservoir Hill

Baltimore Positive

It was years in the making, finally getting Torbin Green of St. Francis Community Center to visit for a Faidley’s crab cake for the holidays. Turns out it’s a busy job serving 20,000 folks in West Baltimore with youth programs, family love and food distribution in West Baltimore. Let him tell you about the pride in the work they do and its impact in the neighborhood over generations.
