Does your sports owner have integrity?

Baltimore Positive

As the Orioles continue to refuse to take $600 million of your money for free to keep the franchise at Camden Yards, Nestor Aparicio and Dennis Koulatsos discuss integrity, credibility, good faith and bad ownership in local sports and its ugly history in Baltimore.

Dear John and Louis Angelos: Are you a Rocky – or a Bullwinkle?

Baltimore Positive

The sons of Peter Angelos got a “Dear Orioles” letter from Nestor back in July 2018 encouraging them to step forward and run a legitimate local baseball franchise. Now in the aftermath of the Kevin Brown suspension fiasco at MASN, any sensible fan would realize what we’re up against as a community with a born-on-third and thinks he hit a triple Fredo with a penchant for punishment like his old man.

The mean, mean pride of 25 years of WNST and your support

Baltimore Positive

Nestor Aparicio tells Dennis Koulatsos why he’s so proud of the past quarter of a century of serving truth and accuracy to Baltimore sports fans via the airwaves and internet. And why the Orioles and Ravens still matter so much to our community.

Looking ahead to whats next for the business of sports in Baltimore Conway

The future of sports in Baltimore

Baltimore Positive

No one does Baltimore sports history like Nestor Aparicio. Bill Cole opened up a nest of birds and the future of the Orioles and the lease situation at Camden Yards and the value of a sports franchise to Baltimore. This one got spicy and went overtime.

Adding up the money and expectations for Lamar Jackson moving forward

Baltimore Positive

In the aftermath of the Lamar Jackson press conference announcing the biggest contract in NFL history, Luke Jones and Nestor react to words of the quarterback and whether passing for 6,000 yards is realistic in Todd Monken’s offense. And there was the part where he asked to be traded out of Baltimore.

At last, The Lamarathon is over!

Baltimore Positive

Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the long view of Ravens draft weekend and the end of the Lamar Jackson contract saga and everything that comes next for the franchise that spent the last six months adrift trying to address its quarterback situation.

When the local media is bullied, Ravens fans are the losers

Baltimore Positive

Lifelong journalist Nestor Aparicio took a deep dive with Dennis Koulatsos on the unprofessional public relations antics of Chad Steele and how the integrity and accountability of the Baltimore Ravens organization has changed dramatically over three decades. “No questions for our leadership about Lamar Jackson,” says the brand manager. Patently absurd.

The end of accountability in Owings Mills

Baltimore Positive

Nestor Aparicio sounds off with Luke Jones on the cowardice of Ravens PR and Chad Steele intimidating the media who dare to ask questions about the state of the franchise quarterback and the future of Lamar Jackson at a legitimate press conference. It was quite a show in Owings Mills on Wednesday at the Liars’ Luncheon.

What is going to make Lamar Jackson happy?

Baltimore Positive

During the season, Nestor Aparicio and Dennis Koulatsos held a weekly referendum on where the quarterback and the franchise were on the happiness and success scale. It’s been a long road of mistrust and callouses and bruised feelings in the Lamar Jackson contract battle with Eric DeCosta and the Baltimore Ravens. A deep dive here.

What did we really learn from the words of Lamar Luke and Nes post Lamar

Now, we’ll find out if the Ravens really want Lamar Jackson?

Baltimore Positive

Lately, whenever Nestor Aparicio walks into a room around Baltimore he gets the same question: “What do you think is going to happen with Lamar?” Dennis Koulatsos asked him the tough questions and if you cared enough to ask here’s the extended answer.

What I learned sitting on the roof in Houston and watching Ravens beat Texans in an empty stadium

Nestor Aparicio

How committed is Nestor Aparicio to covering the Baltimore Ravens as a lifelong journalist? He left BWI during the plague traveling to Houston along with just one other local journalist to cover a game before there was a vaccine in vacant NRG Stadium. Read his #ColumnNes report back from when “The Knee” was a thing that got NFL players blackballed and football was the only thing open for business during a worldwide pandemic.

#ColumnNes Who in the purple congregation still believes – and why?

Nestor Aparicio

After doing bustrips and roadtrips for a quarter of a century to playoff games all over the country and taking tens of thousands of our citizens along, I really wondered if there’s anyone who wants to get on the bus to Cincinnati this weekend believing the Ravens will still be in the tournament at midnight on Sunday night?

A Ted Talk: Lying Leonsis and abandoning The District with “accountability”

Baltimore Positive

When Nestor read his business journalist pal Liz Farmer had written from the heart about the Caps and Wizards leaving Washington, D.C. for Virginia, it was time to move beyond the Baltimore fiasco with Angelos and Camden Yards to discuss even more local stadia and arena civic cash grab madness amongst billionaires in The DMV with an expert on government fiscal policy.

#ColumnNes The purple renegades answered the song with heroics in Pittsburgh

Nestor Aparicio

When Tommy Shaw starts the “Oh, mama” refrain of “Renegade,” it usually provides a spark of life for the black and gold faithful that spills from the stands and Terrible Towels onto the grass. The Steelers even exhumed Wiz Whalifa to sing that horrific song at halftime – and it still didn’t matter!

#ColumnNes Snooping around for the narrative in a gritty, season-defining win for Ravens

Nestor Aparicio

No, it’s not a time for sweeping narratives but the story of the Baltimore Ravens right now is uncertainty and the path to win the division actually going through the division over the next month in a unique scheduling model that was thought to be a benefit until it’s actually Pittsburgh Week and you don’t know who your quarterback is going to be until you see an MRI.

#ColumnNes How many meltdowns are too many for self-destructing Ravens?

Nestor Aparicio

When Lamar Jackson plays poorly – and most of Sunday was another poor effort throwing the ball where he actually wanted to throw it, especially the long ball – the Baltimore Ravens are going to have a whole lot of trouble trying to finish football games against competent competition.

A frank discussion about the night this website crashed under heavy traffic

Baltimore Positive

Mike Rosenfeld of Web Connection joins Nestor Aparicio to discuss the night a major announcement about his media pass with the Baltimore Ravens being rescinded crashed the Baltimore Positive website – and what happened next. A business and digital leadership course ensued. Out of disaster comes opportunity! (Oh, and you’re gonna love the way this website looks next week…)

#ColumnNes There are no bad wins over Bill Belichick in Foxboro

Nestor Aparicio

But don’t bury the lead in this one: Lamar Jackson (still) might be the best player in the National Football League and his “value” as a Most Valuable Player continues to soar as he does things no one has ever done at the most valuable position on the field and the most difficult position to play in all of sports.

I fell asleep once on Lamar Jackson and it ain’t happening again – Bleedat!

Nestor Aparicio

It was quite a show on the banks of the Ohio on Sunday afternoon. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh boldly promised a “revolution” this season and while I’m not 100% sure that Lamar Jackson will soon ride down Pratt Street with the Lombardi Trophy, you can’t help but be impressed by the here and now and the thrill of what this kid is doing if you love Baltimore football. Let’s put it this way: every defensive coordinator breaking down nine weeks of film this year sees the Che Guevara in what Greg Roman and his band of marauders is coming do to the 11 guys you dare put out there to chase Number Eight and varying triple-threat Heisman packages. As I waited by the visiting locker room door (one that I have stood at many times in recent years after awful losses in Cincinnati) and watched Lamar from 50 feet away signing autographs for Ravens fans to the “MVP!” chants as he came off the field at Paul Brown Stadium, it started to hit me. I called that play “an instant classic” and tweeted “send it to Canton” about 15 seconds after it happened. A few minutes after watching this
