Remember That Time

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.

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. In our continuing effort to learn, grow and evolve, Nestor hosts local AI trainer Denis O’Donovan of Profit Comm at the brand new Planet Fitness in Timonium to share the power and purpose of getting involved and learning basic usage now to help efficiency and wisdom.

For the love of Lamar

Baltimore Positive

When the national pundits are discussing the future of Lamar Jackson in Baltimore, it alarms Ravens fans across the purple nation. New Jersey is the home of Vinny Vilardi, a filmmaker who works behind the scenes at MLB Network, but his Ravens’ fandom and passion for No. 8 is told in his story and the untold story of the mysterious two-time, MVP whose renegotiation with Eric DeCosta will become the biggest story in the NFL this offseason.

No One Listens Aparicio Nestor Nasty

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

Nestor Aparicio

Part biography, part civic documentary, this film uncovers the uncompromising journey of Nestor Aparicio—journalist, truth-teller, and founder of Baltimore Positive. Through battles with institutions, personal setbacks, and a stubborn commitment to his hometown, “No One Listens; Everyone Hears” shows what happens when one person refuses to stop believing in Baltimore.

WNST STORY OF GLORY No. 4: The night we brought Harbaugh, Tomlin and Billick together to share Super Bowl glory stories

Nestor Aparicio

In the aftermath of Jennifer Aparicio’s miraculous survival following a second bone marrow transplant, we were inspired to do a second “Night of Heroes” after leukemia survivor Chuck Pagano came back to Baltimore in 2015 to raise money and awareness for There Goes My Hero and the power of swabbing to save lives. 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. A powerful evening.

An unlikely Baltimore and Pittsburgh friendship: How Mike Tomlin really feels about Nestor

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…

Fish, family and fastballs at Gertrude’s with Casper Wells

Baltimore Positive

In the spirit of the holiday season, we bring friends and family together. Chesapeake chef extraordinaire and proprietor of Gertrude’s at The BMA John Shields hosts Nestor once again for a Christmas and New Year’s Eve celebration (at an hour we can all appreciate) along with former MLB outfielder Casper Wells for chat about seven fishes, sauerkraut and Pete Alonso.

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.

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?

Baltimore Positive

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.

Communicating and relating publicly the Maroon way

Baltimore Positive

Our annual “two old sports guys” holiday visit with longtime communications pro John Maroon came on turf very familiar to all parties: Costas Inn in Dundalk, where no one was crabby but the ramping up of artificial intelligence in the world of public relations, marketing and advertising was spicy on our tongues on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour. Always changing, always evolving…

Shaughnessy: On Orioles Magic and the autumn of the spring of Maye in New England

Baltimore Positive

The New England Patriots are back in first place in the AFC North and coming to Baltimore, which always brings venerable Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy back to his onetime workplace to tell old stories of The Evening Sun, Orioles Magic and always brilliant insights on the NFL franchise of Robert Kraft and the 2.0 build out of Mike Vrabel and Drake Maye.

Maxing out on local sports and lousy officiating

Baltimore Positive

Did you know that Tom Davis was once in a movie scene in Baltimore with the legendary Al Pacino? We did and Max Weiss has promised Nestor a full treatment of all memorable local movie history in the next edition of Baltimore Magazine. They continue their holiday chat about bad referees, big money Orioles signings and what’s on the table at Di Pasquale’s in Canton on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour.

Feasting on seven fishes and holiday neighborhood love at Di Pasquale’s

Baltimore Positive

It’s the holidays and time for traditions and trimmings so we ventured back to DiPasquale’s in Canton with former UMBC soccer coach Pete Caringi to ask Domenico DiPasquale about the Christmas tradition of the Feast of The Seven Fishes and bringing family together for good cheer and great food.

City sidewalks dressed in holiday style

Baltimore Positive

It’s always a treat to welcome Matt Gallagher of The Goldseker Foundation back to Faidley’s Seafood at Lexington Market on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour to discuss the progress and challenges of Baltimore City, while shouting out more holiday dining options and civic celebrations than any other podcast or radio show in the market. We love Baltimore – and it shows!

Staying true to your team even when you know they’re lying – or just incompetent

Baltimore Positive

Sure, we kid our pal Mark Mussina about his lifelong loyalty to the Dallas Cowboys but we’re all guilty of being addicted to a team without consequences or, in some cases, any joy at all. Good times, bad times you know we’ve had our share but our favorite brother of a Hall of Famer returns to discuss poor ownership and the self-inflicted obligation of fan support even when you know it’s hopeless.

The power and allure of Baltimore crab cake love and lore

Baltimore Positive

We love bringing the best people in Baltimore together. There’s been a magazine story on the wall at Koco’s Pub for years that compares the Marcella Knight’s jumbo crab cake to the smoked version from our friend Chef Nancy Longo of Pierpoint. So, Nestor brought them together in Lauraville on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour for foodie fun.

Telling the stories from a life spent inside ballparks

Baltimore Positive

There’s nothing better than longing for baseball in the offseason and our pal and longtime MLB reporter Robby Incmikoski joins Nestor from Pittsburgh to discuss his “Sacred Grounds” ballpark book and the malaise of the Steelers and ‘yins booing Renegade.

Nasty and Marvin Lewis at The Barn Draft Day 1997 2

Thirty years later, Marvin Lewis is still teaching us football

Baltimore Positive

Both of these guys look a little older and more seasoned these days but whenever Marvin Lewis spends time with us, we learn. Nestor and the Pittsburgh native discuss life in Baltimore and Da ‘Burgh and talk football magic and tragic as the Steelers and Ravens scuffle to the top of the AFC North and the Super Bowl XXXV champions will be honored downtown this weekend.

The modern reality of the moving grift of NFL franchises a half a century later

Baltimore Positive

They met as young sportswriters in early 1984 here at The News American right before the landscape of the NFL began changing. Longtime St. Louis sportswriter Jeff Gordon joins former colleague Nestor for a Mayflower journey on losing franchises and winning championships – and still losing franchises. From Colts to Cardinals to Rams to Ravens to Inglewood…

Communicating and capturing sports history and local business needs

Baltimore Positive

We knew inviting our old journalist-turned-communications pro Greg Abel would involve a walk down “Free The Birds” memory lane but Nestor did not bring him to Koco’s Pub on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour to talk about the past but instead to question the future of the Orioles brand and Baltimore sports media and marketing with a lifer chronicler and fan of Charm City glory.

Telling the story of the power, money and growth of the modern NFL

Baltimore Positive

No one knows more about the business of the National Football League than longtime sports business insider Ken Belson of The New York Times, whose new book “Every Day is Sunday” goes behind the power and money of the league to discuss the decisions, threats, machinations and leadership of Roger Goodell, Jerry Jones and Robert Kraft in great detail. Learn about the monster…

Dear Catie Griggs: When Orioles fans ask why I don’t have an Orioles media credential, I’m sending them to you for answers

Nestor Aparicio

I’m pulling for you to fix the Orioles on-and-off the field, even if you continue the bizarrely petty Angelos family tradition of willfully, purposely and strategically mistreating me and restricting a legitimate professional working local media member from asking you serious questions in the David Rubenstein “Next Chapter” era.
“We all want the same things here.”

Talking aging, accountability and leadership with still-ready-to-throw Joe Flacco

Baltimore Positive

We gave him a chance to announce his retirement but Joe Flacco says he is not done throwing the football. The well-traveled Super Bowl MVP comes home to Baltimore to talk about Father Time, kids in his house and the locker room, the family life in Indianapolis, great offense, bad analytics and hitting the quarterback. And the answer he gives as to why he went to the podium in Pittsburgh after throwing the Polamalu interception in the 2009 AFC Championship Game is as “elite” as he was in January 2013. Twelve years later, let Joe tell ya what he knows about real life and playing ‘ball…

The sports agony continues in Cleveland

Baltimore Positive

Oh, sure the Cleveland Browns are a last-place operation without a legitimate NFL quarterback but the real story in Northern Ohio is the gambling indictments of a pair of Guardians baseball players. Radio legend Munch Bishop joins Nestor to discuss the future of the football team and the shame of the worst side of sports gambling bubbling up in MLB.

Beware the Canadian baseball beast in Toronto!

Baltimore Positive

Beware the Toronto Blue Jays! And even if the Los Angeles Dodgers don’t win the World Series as heavy favorites, it’ll be clear why they’ll have money to spend as the Baltimore Orioles go to market for a manager and offseason acquisitions via free agency that will be chasing a new leaf of power and capital in the American League East north of the border, where they enjoy beating America in any way possible. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Fall Classic and the incredible Ohtani and Springer shows this October.

Sheinin the light on getting serious about Blue Jays and World Series

Baltimore Positive

Our favorite longtime Washington Post baseball writer Dave Sheinin joins Nestor at the new Costas Inn at Timonium Race Track to discuss everything Orioles and World Series on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour. Birdland ownership, management, the manager, big money and how to start winning again at Camden Yards?

The year of the sports injury in Baltimore…

Baltimore Positive

First, the Baltimore Orioles had a gruesome April and pitching injuries that led onto the field and now the Ravens are 1-5 and trying to get Lamar Jackson (and lots of others) back onto the field to rescue the season. Recovering Tampa via Baltimore sportswriter Joel Poiley brings his Orioles and Ravens passion and wisdom home for a deep dive chat with Nestor about life as a local sports fan during this tough year.

Football bubble NFL

The big money of NFL communications and the rising wall for media access and truth for fans

Baltimore Positive

As we continue to see Baltimore Ravens players slip out the back door after losses and the questions seem to get softer for all of the players and coaches as accountability – and availability – dwindles, we wonder what the future of sports media holds for the fans and truth and answers. Our longtime pal and lifer NFL and Hollywood public relations pal Chip Namias returns to discuss billionaire owners, incomprehensible money and power and the communications changes in football over the years.

Chasing quarterbacks and catching up with Marvin Lewis

Baltimore Positive

It’s always time well spent with our favorite former Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator and now “semi-retired” head coach Marvin Lewis. From his college work at Arizona State and his son’s career at UNLV and his weekly NFL radio calls for Sports USA, he’s staying busy and always ready to talk defense, the importance of a pass rush and what to do when you’re 1-5 and your franchise quarterback is hurt.

A tribute to Heisty and media friendships

Baltimore Positive

We lost the best of us this week. Veteran local media voice Craig Heist left us and left quite an impression on Luke Jones and Nestor at Camden Yards over the years. We pay tribute to his hustle, hard work, Essex humor and unrivaled dedication to local sports – and then honor him by tackling the many bye week issues of the 1-5 Baltimore Ravens.

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.
