Lamar Jackson Pittsburgh Steelers Baltimore Ravens

What happens Monday morning if Ravens lose in Pittsburgh on Sunday night?

Nestor Aparicio

It’s such a significant game because it will define what has been a confounding, deflating and defeated season for the Baltimore Ravens. After a 1-5 start, fumbles and mistakes and blown defenses – not to mention an injured version of Lamar Jackson for much of the season – John Harbaugh and the men in purple have a chance to fix it all in Pittsburgh. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss what happens if they’re not discussing a playoff game in Baltimore next weekend.

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…

Let’s welcome in happiness and better health in 2026

Baltimore Positive

With the grand opening of the state-of-the-art Planet Fitness on York Road in Timonium, we told our friends Justin Drummond and April Fowler that we’d bring the Maryland Crab Cake Tour by to welcome them into the new year if they’d provide the inspiration and the awesome PF Times Square party hats.

Anything can happen in Pittsburgh

Baltimore Positive

It’s the biggest game of the year and it’s come down to Baltimore at Pittsburgh for the AFC crown. The Ravens are a 3 1/2-point favorite to beat the Steelers and host a playoff game after a 1-5 start and a wild weekend for Derrick Henry in Green Bay and Aaron Rodgers without D.K. Metcalf in Cleveland. Nothing makes sense. But here’s what we do know…

The drama of Ravens at Steelers builds (again) as frustrated franchises fear failure fallout

Baltimore Positive

The plot for the battle for the AFC North title at The Confluence on Sunday night thickens with daily reports about the health of Lamar Jackson and T.J. Watt – and the pending doom for the losing franchise, coach and quarterback. Will Graves of The Associated Press in Pittsburgh returns as the defending champion of Steelers knowledge and brings the full color of the Ravens and black and gold drama into focus with Nestor.

Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers

Big stakes on Sunday night for Ravens and Steelers coaches, QBs and franchises

Baltimore Positive

It feels like more than just two mediocre teams with legendary stability and pedigree battling for an AFC North title in Pittsburgh on Sunday night. Luke Jones and Nestor assess the big stakes of Ravens at Steelers for coaches, quarterbacks and the offseason trajectory of the franchises given the long tenure and tumultuous seasons of John Harbaugh and Mike Tomlin. And now Lamar is gonna play, too!

The magic Batch and make-up of a backup quarterback who can win a big game off the bench

Baltimore Positive

Former Steelers QB Charlie Batch returns in advance of the Ravens return to Pittsburgh in a battle for the AFC North crown to give Nestor insights on the final stand of Aaron Rodgers, the Lamar Jackson injury and ways that the favored Ravens can come to The Confluence and eliminate Mike Tomlin with Derrick Henry pounding the ball and Snoop Huntley playing the quiet reserve role that he once made famous in the Steel City.

Saving a lost season still possible for Harbaugh and Ravens in Pittsburgh

Baltimore Positive

It’s been quite a slog for everyone involved in the Baltimore Ravens organization in 2025. Leonard Raskin and Nestor take a real assessment of the end of a football season and the beginning of the playoffs and another chance for the men of John Harbaugh to redeem themselves – and their turbulent season – in Pittsburgh.

And we’re back off to Pittsburgh for all the AFC North marbles

Baltimore Positive

What a wild holiday weekend and big finish ahead for the AFC North crown! Luke Jones and Nestor discuss all of the trappings of a Ravens at Steelers game on Sunday night at The Confluence with the loser going home and the winner hosting a playoff game.

Does Shane Baz addition really help Orioles offseason pitching puzzle?

Baltimore Positive

With the grand opening of the new Planet Fitness in Timonium underway, Luke Jones joined Nestor on York Road at Planet Fitness to discuss the Orioles’ acquisition of former first-round draft pick Shane Baz and a Christmas primer on ways the Birds have improved heading into 2026.

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.

Is it time to “move on” from John Harbaugh?

Baltimore Positive

When you park Derrick Henry with a two-score lead at home and the season on the line and lose the game, it’s time to discuss the job security of the head coach. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss yet another blown 4th quarter home lead, this time to the New England Patriots and the future of John Harbaugh became quite the hot take topic amongst Baltimore Ravens fans on the internet in the aftermath. But it’s a fair question: who is running this mess?

Sausage, soccer and suffering local World Cup madness

Baltimore Positive

Bringing the Maryland Crab Cake Tour back to DiPasquale’s for an Italian tour of the holidays, we knew Darren The Sausage King would bring us some seasonal favorites. Nestor explores some East Baltimore holiday flavor in Canton just in time for kielbasa and sauerkraut on the dinner table while talking World Cup fever with Highlandtown soccer legend Pete Caringi.

If we’re picking between Harbaugh and Lamar? Who stays, who goes? And what does Steve think?

Baltimore Positive

We’re not at the Black Monday stage of the NFL’s open season on hiring and firing but the Baltimore Ravens and owner Steve Bisciotti along with general manager Eric DeCosta might find next week to be the ugliest week of a long and tiring season. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the latest dust-up in the organization where the head coach has blown a lot of leads and an oft-injured, two-time MVP quarterback will need a contract renegotiation this winter. Is change coming in Owings Mills?

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…

This is the big one

Nestor Aparicio

It stands as the fourth largest jackpot in American lottery history and John Martin of The Maryland Lottery gets Nestor ready for almost two billion reasons to have some fun with “the big one” as Powerball powers past $1.7 billion for Christmas. Ho Ho, hope you win!

It’s been a season of disappointments for heady Ravens roster of ‘stars’

Baltimore Positive

There will be plenty of time in the offseason to send out report cards and walking papers but Luke Jones and Nestor begin to assess the totality of the efforts of the starters and star players of the Baltimore Ravens and wonder what Eric DeCosta and John Harbaugh see. And, more importantly, what Steve Bisciotti will see once the season ends and the bill comes due for a season of constant disappointment and under performance across the roster.

The purple reality of disappointment

Baltimore Positive

Most oddsmakers have the Baltimore Ravens’ playoff chances at less than 10% heading into Christmas weekend and a Saturday night “stay alive” game with the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the reality that the franchise is far from “one player away” from a real Super Bowl run with this roster. The offseason is coming soon…

When all hope starts to fade on a failed season

Baltimore Positive

It all started to fall apart once again as the Baltimore Ravens had another doubit-digit lead evaporate at home for the holidays against the New England Patriots. Leonard Raskin and Nestor lick the purple wounds of a mostly sickening Ravens season and pick up the pieces of parking Derrick Henry while John Harbaugh squirms in the aftermath of another embarrassing loss.

From ‘The Flu’ to flying the Ravens into a Festivus?

Baltimore Positive

Lamar Jackson hasn’t practiced on a Wednesday in almost three months. Luke Jones and Nestor continue to spend midweeks discussing the health of the Baltimore Ravens two-time MVP quarterback and how it can’t be helping the offensive operation. But, a win against the New England Patriots at home will keep hope alive in a wild and zany finish to the NFL regular season.

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.

With Mahomes and Burrow eliminated, AFC will find QB youngbloods in January

Baltimore Positive

As the upstart New England Patriots come to Baltimore, it’s not lost on Luke Jones and Nestor that it’s probably the first of many battles with MVP candidate Drake Maye. The AFC playoffs will include some new faces and old places as the changing tides of the Super Bowl race crystalize through the holidays with big games ahead.

Tripping to Cincinnati wrapped in the frigid warmth of purple victory

Baltimore Positive

The always fun Ravens scratch-off super prize winners made their way to frosty Cincinnati where even the famous chili was chilly but as Doug Lloyd of The Maryland Lottery tells Nestor, great seats, a big win and a wild adventure with a flat tire made a Cumberland memory. And everyone was a big winner on the flight home with the team from Kentucky.

What happens if the Steelers (somehow) keep winning?

Baltimore Positive

The Baltimore Ravens have their hands full with the New England Patriots here this week and the Green Bay Packers awaiting on the frozen tundra next Saturday night after Santa arrives. But, will the Pittsburgh Steelers play the Grinch once again? Luke Jones and Nestor discuss all eyes on the NFL holiday slate as the rematch awaits on January 4th at The Confluence.

Lamar Jackson Pittsburgh Steelers Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens roller coaster once again rises at home for the Krafty Patriots of New England

Baltimore Positive

It’s another holiday season but no one in the Baltimore Ravens community is feeling much of the purple Festivus spirit given the suspect play on the field but Leonard Raskin tells Nestor that the team coming back to life in Cincinnati and in time for New England to arrive is its own gift in a season with a 1-5 start and plenty of disappointment for having so much hope. And no one is betting against them hosting a playoff game the weekend of January 10th.

Volleying with Coppin fun and sports into the new year

Baltimore Positive

It’s always fun to welcome our Coppin State sports marketing pal Ruffin Bell back on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour, especially when there are MEAC championships on the court and a big visit from Dawn Staley and South Carolina Gamecocks coming to West Baltimore on January 18th. Hey Coppin!

Pete Alonso looked the part and won The Warehouse press conference

Nestor Aparicio

The newest and shiniest Baltimore Orioles addition arrived for a bizarrely timed Friday afternoon press conference at Camden Yards and won the day.

Ravens keep spirits bright with complete effort in Cincinnati

Baltimore Positive

A big effort on a frigid day in Cincinnati has renewed hope for the Baltimore Ravens. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the heartening 24-0 shutout win over Joe Burrow and the Bengals with a complete effort and a clear path to a January success style.

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.

Ravens will live on the edge of the ledge rest of season

Nestor Aparicio

The Baltimore Ravens are 6-7 and Luke Jones and Nestor Aparicio aren’t convinced they’re going to repair a lost season as they prepare for another AFC North road game in Cincinnati as the NFL flexes them into a pair of holiday prime time games against New England and Green Bay. The road ahead is fraught with peril and better quarterbacks. So many questions that will be answered on the field by Lamar and company.

That’s Alonso money for a Baltimore Orioles first baseman

Baltimore Positive

It’s not our money and it made the baseball team better so there will be no complaining about Mike Elias taking the money of David Rubenstein and Michael Arougheti and investing in a legitimate attempt to win. The Baltimore Orioles got better with the signing of slugger Pete Alonso but they get $155 million better? Luke Jones and Nestor take a deep dive into the Birdland splash of MLB free agency.

Ho Ho Home for the Holidays and the Maryland Crab Cake Tour

Nestor Aparicio

We’re out on the road with our friends at the Maryland Lottery and GBMC getting our Maryland Crab Cake Tour into some new places with some fresh faces and old friends as we gear up for Santa, family and football with lots of chances to say hello for the holidays. Come share a cup of cheer…

Ravens Bengals

A bungle in the jungle against Bengals would burrow Ravens in deep AFC North hole

Baltimore Positive

Of the games remaining on the slate for the 6-7 Baltimore Ravens, this one appears to be the most winnable. As a 2 1/2-point favorite on the road, expectations remain high for Lamar Jackson to turn the purple tide through the holidays. But, as the longtime voice of the Bengals Dan Hoard tells Nestor, this is a different Cincinnati offense and threat in the Queen City on Sunday with Joe Burrow back, spry and looking to win out. Can the Ravens avenge a home Thanksgiving night embarrassment in The Jungle?

Sprinkling in more fun during the holiday rush

Baltimore Positive

There are a bunch of fun games and an emerging jackpot at the Maryland Lottery for the holidays but watching people cash in on Keno with bonuses is part of the December fun. John Martin returns to get Nestor ready for the big Raffle for a million bucks and some holiday trimmings.

The offensive offense and leaky line of the 6-7 Baltimore Ravens

Baltimore Positive

Sure, the officiating did the Baltimore Ravens no favors on Sunday in a 27-22 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers but it doesn’t mask the obvious offensive issues of Todd Monken’s operation when Lamar Jackson has limitations and the line isn’t good enough. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the offensive operation and failures and whether this well-hyped machine will ever deliver the magic of its promise.

Lining up to talk DVOA and an offensive O line with The Godfather of modern analytics

Baltimore Positive

We all see the problems in the trenches for the Baltimore Ravens but how much impact has that had on the offense as a whole, which has been legendary in the football analytics space since Lamar Jackson arrived and revolutionized the position for the running game.

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.
