Watching from the outside but the story from the inside is coming…

Nestor Aparicio discusses watching the start of Ravens season on television instead of being able to ask questions of the franchise like he's done for 26 years as a Baltimore sports journalist at NFL games. The truth is coming. Watch this space...

Does your sports owner have integrity?

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 Angelos: You’re a civic disgrace just like your father, now sign the lease!

With the news of the bizarre suspension of MASN broadcaster Kevin Brown making national headlines, Nestor Aparicio inks a personal letter to Baltimore Orioles owner John Angelos in #ColumnNes.

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

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 letter that started it all on August 3, 1998 from Nestor to Baltimore sports fans

On August 3rd, 1998, Nestor Aparicio inked a letter to local sports fans in The Baltimore Sun. Now 25 years later, did he live up to his promise and goals to serve the local community?

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

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.

At some point, John Angelos will need to answer questions about future of the Orioles and a signed lease

With all of the questions about the next All Star Game coming to Baltimore, Nestor Aparicio once again asks John Angelos why the Camden Yards lease demands are so secretive as the Orioles win games and the stall with local government continues.

The future of sports in Baltimore

Why having Orioles fans downtown matters for Baltimore

Nestor Aparicio expresses the joy he feels in seeing people coming back downtown for baseball with Dennis Koulatsos. After all, that's what Free The Birds was all about 17 summers ago.

Adding up the money and expectations for Lamar Jackson moving forward

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.
