Feeling the love with leftovers for Baltimore people in need of a meal

Baltimore Positive

Our “A Cup Of Soup Or Bowl” week is always best when we’re talking about meeting basic human needs on the streets of Baltimore and Omar Tarabishi of Leftover Love joined Nestor at Faidley’s Seafood in Lexington Market to discuss nourishing the soul with food for the people in rescuing neighborhood food for the less fortunate.

Giving the new guy a fair chance

Baltimore Positive

It turns out that John Harbaugh really wasn’t the Baltimore Ravens head coach for life. And, now, we’ll all have to get used to the freshly minted face of the franchise as Leonard Raskin and Nestor assess the Jesse Minter hire. And the famously anti-Michigan, pro-Buckeye financial guy has to accept the former foe as savior.

Getting SMART about preventing violence and solving crisis in Baltimore

Baltimore Positive

As the supervisor of the violence prevention program at UMMS Shock Trauma, Brianna Rock sees the hardest side of life in our city. She joined Nestor at Faidley’s at Lexington Market as part of our A Cup Of Soup Or Bowl series to educate folks about addressing violence through a public health approach, which includes holistic support for victims, legal aid, and mental health services.

Are the Orioles really “armed” for April?

Baltimore Positive

The new ownership group reached deep into the monetary reserve to sign slugger Pete Alonso in Baltimore but what’s up with the pitching? Luke Jones and Nestor discuss that one more arm the Orioles need in the rotation – not to mention a too-thin bullpen – in preparation for pitchers and catchers to report to the refurbished facility in Sarasota.

Third time is a charm? The dream of Weaver comes back to Baltimore, again

Baltimore Positive

We’re so old that we remember when young Anthony Weaver was a Baltimore Ravens draft pick from Notre Dame and NFL hopeful playing on the defensive line. With rookie head coach Jesse Minter calling the plays for the defense, he turned to a trusted Owings Mills veteran in bringing Weaver back for third time to the organization as the new defensive coordinator. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the decision and the personnel in making it work.

The fresh faces of Santa Clara and Super Bowl LX

Baltimore Positive

It’s not Belichick and Brady or The Legion of Boom but the franchises look familiar even if the matchup in Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara feels like old blood. Luke Jones and Nestor preview a compelling if not star-studded affair as the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks are doing it with fresh faces and familiar old friends.

When the NFL offensive coordinator is the same age as the quarterback

Baltimore Positive

The new King of The Castle has begun to assemble his coaching staff and the Jesse Minter organization includes a 29-year old, first-time offensive coordinator and play caller in Declan Doyle, who will be charged with maximizing the efficiency of Lamar Jackson as the Baltimore Ravens retool everything with a new head coach. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss what that might look like with some new personnel, which will be the next phase of the young offseason.

Hitting it big and betting The Big Game

Baltimore Positive

Seth Elkin of The Maryland Lottery returns to talks Super Bowl betting and jackpot winning with Nestor before the big game, emphasizing the importance of legal sports betting, noting a $1.7 billion wager estimate this week on Seattle and New England in Santa Clara.

Taking the first snaps with new head coach Jesse Minter

Baltimore Positive

What do we ever really learn from a first press conference with a new NFL head coach? Luke Jones got the seventh question at the Jesse Minter debut and at least we learned about defensive play calling and the tone of the new leader of The Castle in Owings Mills as the rookie head coach stepped before the media to set the agenda for the 2026 Baltimore Ravens alongside Eric DeCosta and Sashi Brown.

Going deep once again with the wisdom of Joe Flacco

Baltimore Positive

Once again, we gave him a chance to announce his NFL retirement here but our Super Bowl XLVII MVP continues a 19th offseason of mental and physical preparation to get another job in the league doing what he’s always done. Joe Flacco returns for another offseason NFL chat with Nestor and looking back but still forward to throwing more touchdowns and winning games. Here’s why…

The inner workings of an entrepreneurial education at Coppin

Baltimore Positive

The modern path to making money and having a career is certainly different in the present “hustle” world of being a business instead of finding a job. Dr. Tamirra Lucas heads up the Center for Strategic Entrepreneurs at Coppin State University and gives Nestor an education in the strategy to a modern entrepreneurial education and degree at Coppin State. Learning about learning…

How will Jesse Minter be different than his Harbaugh mentors?

Baltimore Positive

Clearly a young NFL coach who has spent the last decade working under the “Harbaugh Philosophy” will be bringing a whole lot of the previous system back to the Baltimore Ravens as the new head coach. Luke Jones and Nestor wonder what will be the same and what changes that Jesse Minter has in mind for Lamar Jackson and the organization amidst the high expectations set by his predecessor.

Minting the new era with more of the same Hard Ball?

Baltimore Positive

The Baltimore Ravens made former assistant Jesse Minter the new head coach of the operation in Owings Mills on Thursday afternoon. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the decision to stay very rooted in the Harbaugh tree by hiring a defensive coordinator who Lamar Jackson is familiar with from three seasons together here. Is this big change – or just a continuation of the same program with a freshly minted face?

Remembering everything I forgot about Super Bowl XXXV

Nestor Aparicio

Nestor Aparicio wrote a book on the Baltimore Ravens 2000 championship called “Purple Reign.” Twenty years later and a week after chatting with members of the team, he swears there are a million stories still never told…

Catching up with Brandon Stokley 25 years after his magical first Super Bowl XXXV touchdown catch in Tampa

Baltimore Positive

We’ll never stop celebrating the Baltimore Ravens’ Super Bowl XXXV championship but there’s no better place to mark time than a quarter of a century after the magic of the first one. Wide receiver Brandon Stokley caught the first touchdown on January 28, 2001 in Tampa and joins Nestor from his sports radio homeland in Denver to talk Sean Payton, Peyton Manning and how life changes but the memories never fade away.

John Harbaugh gets the last laugh and a $100 million honeymoon in New York – for now

Baltimore Positive

Longtime columnist and football author Ian O’Connor attended last week’s coronation of John Harbaugh as the new head coach of the New York Football Giants and tells Nestor why Big Blue has high expectations and a low recent bar for the former Baltimore Ravens leader. A fresh start for Harbs in The Big Apple leaves many questions on this side of the ball.

Going for the Gold

Baltimore Positive

The fun part of the promotions are the grand prizes you can only win if you play. John Martin of The Maryland Lottery tells Nestor about some fun winners who are going for the gold with the U.S. Olympic team and others who will be taking their shots with the Harlem Globetrotters at UMBC in March.

Bisciotti and DeCosta make the ‘friends and family’ hire with Minter

Baltimore Positive

Sure, there were a lot of interviews and rumors and even a few on campus visits but it’s pretty clear that Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti and general manager Eric DeCosta preferred to keep it in the Harbaugh family when hiring the next head coach. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the career path of Jesse Minter and the Ravens’ familiarity and comfort with the new leader of the building in Owings Mills, who knows the hallways well.

The Cleveland radio guys asked what I really think about the Jesse Minter hire…

Nestor Aparicio

The guys at WHBC in Ohio found Nestor Aparicio in his favorite state of “guest” vs. “host” and asked everything you want to know about his thoughts on the hiring of Jesse Minter as the new head coach of the Baltimore Ravens. He also got in a few cheap shots on the Cleveland Browns during this Super Bowl XXXV 25th anniversary celebration week in the Charm City.

Drums, cannabis and science rocking the education of the plant – and the future of medicine

Baltimore Positive

The Maryland Crab Cake Tour brought a spirited holiday edition of the show to Far & Dotter in Timonium with Dundalk drummer and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Gina Schock of The Go-Go’s joined by Curio founder Michael Bronfein and daughter Wendy Bronfein discussing how a once pharmaceutical family drummed its way into the cannabis wellness business in Maryland.

Making a list and checking it twice

Baltimore Positive

Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the second round of Ravens head coach search and the wants and needs of Steve Bisciotti and Eric DeCosta to lead The Castle in Owings Mills.

The Buffalo blow up and competition for ‘hottest’ head coach and QB widens

Baltimore Positive

Sure, other teams are grabbing their leaders and preparing for the next phase of their lowly rebuilds in Tennessee, Atlanta and New York, but the Baltimore Ravens are taking their time in Owings Mills. Luke Jones and Nestor respond to Bills firing of Sean McDermott and who is next in line for Ravens search as the NFL prepares for Championship Weekend. Will Lamar be involved in the recruitment now that Josh Allen is coachless?
