Watch “No One Listens; Everyone Hears” – The Media Story of Nestor Aparicio, WNST and Baltimore Positive

You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll learn. Watch “No One Listens; Everyone Hears” – The Story of Baltimore Positive, Nestor Aparicio & WNST” here. A documentary film narrated by Kyf Brewer, Gina Schock, Mickey Cucchiella, Mike Brilhart, John Allen, Ray Bachman and Bill Cole. Special and eternal thanks to Gregg Landry and Blue Rock Productions for the spiritual guidance and documentary awesomeness on this project. Nestor and his family and partners would like to thank every one of you for four decades of support of WNST, our sponsors and advertisers who allow us to do this Baltimore Positive thing.

My fall journalism “Declaration of Independence” – A working-without-access Labor Day of Baltimore sports and breaking ‘kayfabe’ on how we’re going to cover Orioles and Ravens

What does it say that Nestor Aparicio has been professionally bullied, gaslit and banned by Orioles and Ravens ownership after four decades of covering Baltimore sports as a professional reporter, author and journalist? Plenty. About billionaires, money, fealty and the death of local sports journalism and the emergence of team websites as monopoly “news” sources. Read and learn…

Moving the Ravens press box – and kickoffs

After the second preseason sleeper with the Atlanta Falcons, our Luke Jones joins Nestor to discuss David Ojabo, the offensive line and scrimmage life in Green Bay. And the new media view of the field and the NFL’s new kickoff return strategy for the genius of John Harbaugh.

How will Team Rubenstein move the economic needle to boost Orioles payroll and potential?

With the trading deadline ahead and the first measurement of ownership’s strategy on the field coming into focus, our business insider Eric Fisher from Front Office Sports gives Nestor the economic realities of MLB, local media issues and the hurdles and growth needed from Team David Rubenstein moving forward as Catie Griggs takes over the business of Birdland

Badenhausen: Rubenstein bought a distressed asset in Orioles

Our defending champion of sports business valuations and the whys and hows of billionaire owners, Kurt Badenhausen of Sportico joins Nestor once again to (finally) discuss the exit of the Angelos family and the financial realities that David Rubenstein and new ownership inherit with the Baltimore Orioles. And the media and sponsorship landscape for Catie Griggs to take $600 million of your money to grow Camden Yards and an All Star Game into a cash machine that stimulates payroll growth…

Having a blast at Camden Yards with friends

Beating the Yankees is always a rare and beautiful sight for any Orioles fan to witness and behold. But, as Nestor Aparicio explained to Luke Jones, it’s more fun whilst sitting over the New York dugout heckling Juan Soto, Aaron Judge and Anthony Rizzo every time they fail in another Orioles Magic beat down of the Bronx Bombers at Camden Yards with friends.

Search no further for better words of wisdom for David Rubenstein and “Next Chapter” of Orioles baseball in Baltimore

If you want to know the real history of Baltimore baseball, you ask the folks who authored the story of Orioles Magic. Charles Steinberg comes back to Baltimore to hail Larry Lucchino and the real heroes of Camden Yards and saving the Orioles – and offers his best wisdom and native advice to new owner David Rubenstein from his Worcester Woo Sox seat at Polar Park.

How will the “next chapter” of Orioles ownership communicate with traumatized Baltimore fan base?

It’s been 18 years since local communication and public relations guru Greg Abel created the “We’re Not Gonna Take It” video after Nestor Aparicio led “Free The Birds” to communicate some uncomfortable truths to Peter Angelos. That was September 2006. Now, with David Rubenstein taking over the helm of the Orioles franchise, what do we expect to be better for the fans – other than everything?

Debunking the local media myth: Peter Angelos did not “save” the Orioles for Baltimore

Many people reached to Nestor Aparicio in the aftermath of the death of Orioles owner Peter G. Angelos looking for some kind of pronouncement. After watching the media reports in Baltimore with various inaccuracies about the billionaire lawyer’s real accomplishments, Luke Jones joined him to react and opine and to set the legacy straight for local citizens who have been fed various levels of myth, poppycock and fake history.

Where is Steve Biscotti hiding? And why…

With our crew in Florida for Orioles spring training and a new beginning for the baseball franchise, Luke Jones and Nestor wonder aloud where and why the Ravens’ owner might be seeking quiet shelter while the rest of his billionaire partners convene at the NFL Owners Meetings in Orlando this week to count their money. (We’ll be there, too! Like we always are…)

Chapter 3: My Pop and Little League in Dundalk

What are your Little League memories of youth? Here’s how Nestor fell in love with baseball at rec leagues at Colgate, Eastwood and Berkshire in Dundalk with his Pop as an umpire and manager for kids.

Dear Steve Bisciotti: Ask Chad Steele what he thinks I said about Sage so I can tell Ravens fans why I was really exterminated

“What did do you do wrong, Nestor?” “Why would the Ravens throw you out?” “Why are you the only one in the local media whom they’ve thrown out?” “Why have they treated you this way?” “WHAT DID YOU DO WRONG!?!” I am fed up with these questions from Baltimore sports fans so I wrote to the owner because these questions are his to answer. Letters to John Harbaugh and Eric DeCosta are also coming soon.
