#ColumnNes Big mistakes, bright lights and forever a bad Baltimore beat for Lamar and Ravens

Nestor Aparicio

Patrick Mahomes > Lamar Jackson. Still. The more prepared, better coached, better led and more composed team is going to Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas. And the team that made massive mistakes at pivotal times and committed dumb penalty after stupid penalty followed by too many men on the field with the season on the line lost the football game. Read the #ColumnNes of Nestor Aparicio after the Ravens loss to the Chiefs.

What are we hearing about Lamar Jacksom and free agency Luke March 13 tamper into...

#ColumnNes Now, it’s time to win a Super Bowl

Baltimore Positive

The Baltimore Ravens have never played an AFC Championship Game at home. This is the year to change that. Anything less than winning the Super Bowl in Las Vegas on February 11th will be unacceptable.

Purple Reign 2: Chapter 8 “Just a regular Joe”

Nestor Aparicio

With all of the excitement around the play of Joe Flacco leading the Cleveland Browns, here’s the best biography of his life and career ever written. You’ll learn a lot about what makes Joe Cool so cool. Enjoy Chapter 8 of “Purple Reign 2: Faith, Family & Football – A Baltimore Love Story.” Author and radio host and entrepreneur Nestor Aparicio penned this #RavensFlock classic in 2013 after Flacco was the Super Bowl 47 MVP in New Orleans.

Answering the caw in January is the final hurdle for these Ravens

Baltimore Positive

In the aftermath of another impressive road victory by the Baltimore Ravens, Nestor Aparicio answered the call from his Las Vegas pal J.T. The Brick on his Sirius XM Mad Dog Radio overnight show and gave an overview of what he sees from the AFC-leading 11-3 squad and their path to a No. 1 seed.

Let’s talk facts about Orioles and the MSA Memorandum of Understanding

Baltimore Positive

Former Maryland Stadium Authority chairman Tom Kelso returns to answer more of Nestor’s very serious questions about the Baltimore Orioles lease, the “Memorandum of Understanding” (MOU) and what happens to Steve Bisciotti and the Ravens if Governor Wes Moore promises all of The Warehouse and Camden Yards land and power to the Angelos family.

What kind of a civic cash grab is John Angelos trying to get away with in darkness?

Baltimore Positive

Nestor Aparicio tells Dennis Koulatsos what he’s learned about the Orioles intentions for Camden Yards and the downtown area. And he doesn’t like anything about the facts he’s uncovered and the legitimate people with knowledge who are speaking out about the future of our city and who will control the future of the complex and the Maryland Stadium Authority.

#ColumnNes The Browns ground down dirts the Ravens in embarrassing home meltdown

Nestor Aparicio

In Cleveland, they’ll call it a second half masterpiece. Here in Baltimore, it’s a wake-up call for the Ravens that they’re not as good as those Power Rankings and clips from last week said they were and the same ones that we’re sure John Harbaugh never reads or watches. Nestor Aparicio checks in with #ColumnNes after the hideous 33-31 loss.

#ColumnNes Now, the only question is how good the 2023 Baltimore Ravens can be

Nestor Aparicio

Don’t blink: Defense at work! The floor is suddenly rising and the health, cohesive improvement and sheer talent of the Ravens starts to flash the promise that something special is at work in the sixth season of The Revolution of Lamar Jackson. Read Nestor Aparicio’s latest #ColumnNes in the aftermath of the Ravens’ 37-3 rout over Seattle.

ColunmnNes: The letdown – and victory – we all could’ve expected from the Ravens in the desert

Nestor Aparicio

It isn’t always going to be as easy as the Ravens made it look against the Detroit Lions last week. “We weren’t great,” is how head coach John Harbaugh began his post-game statement in Arizona on Sunday in the aftermath of a choppy effort and 31-24 victory over the woeful Cardinals. And the Coach Hardball truth just about sums it up if you’ve been watching the NFL long enough. This was par for the Glendale desert dome course for the Ravens as a franchise over three decades – a pretty typical 4 o’clock, West Coast slog against the backup quarterback of a 1-6 team. At one point it was 24-7 and a cover and a dream. And then the Ravens allowed a weak team with a motivated backup quarterback a teaspoon of hope and a sliver of belief. And in the end, the old Special Teams Coach needed his team and Nelson Agholor to lean into a second onside kick at the end of the game to escape and survive. The Ravens found a way to win a road game while still trying to figure out a way to consistently move the football, avoid penalties and the punishment it involves,

#ColumnNes Lamar makes a statement by taking the heart of the cowardly Lions

Nestor Aparicio

There is never a day when the microphones turn on that Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh isn’t discussing his squad being the best team they can be while convincing us that it’s going to eventually be better than it currently looks. For at least the next six days – and probably moving forward with this healthier version of the 2023 team ­– Harbs won’t have to talk about it: there’s now a reel of four quarters of film to support that idiom. You can’t win the Super Bowl in October. And winning the weekly power rankings whilst pumpkin spice is all the rage and the leaves are still on the trees is bit of a punchline at this point. The Ravens will win ugly again. The Ravens will also lose a few more football games on this treacherous road through the NFL where they will fly to the West Coast three more times before you eat Christmas dinner. (And for all of the bluster about not having a bye this weekend after their European adventure, the boys did better with the London thing than they did going to Pittsburgh.) But if they play like they did on Sunday against

Three was not a magic number for Harbaugh and Ravens in hideous loss to Colts

Nestor Aparicio

At the clock struck four ­– and with the dreaded and departed Colts of the Irsay family proving peskier than we thought – it was the Orioles who whittled their Magic Number down to three. And it was the Baltimore Ravens who needed the magic trey that never came from the foot of Justin Tucker to win the game. Read #ColumnNes here.

Bisciotti

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.
