3. Peter Angelos

His life and his Baltimore Orioles ownership tenure is so riddled with contradictions, pettiness and massive profit that it’s sometimes hard to see past the 21 years of wretchedness and remember his noble goals and missions in 1993 when he bought the city’s civic treasure.

Alas, it hasn’t worked out that way for a poor, Greek kid from Highlandtown. But he did make a billion dollars off of buying the Baltimore Orioles and fighting with everyone and everything that has gotten in his way. He also dreamed of owning an NFL team in Baltimore. One thing Peter Angelos has never been accused of and that’s not dreaming big.

These milestones continue to add up as the 25th anniversary of the Baltimore Ravens' Super Bowl XXXV win is coming later this month and Nestor is catching up with many of the Purple Reign legacies about life – on and off the field – as we celebrate the night we all felt the civic pride of that first miracle in Tampa. Reflections here with the man who coached Jamal Lewis, Priest Holmes, Sam Gash and Femi Ayanbadejo a quarter of a century ago.
The Ravens weren't good enough on the field

Firing the head coach and changing leadership will certainly create an interesting offseason in Owings Mills. No one covers the Xs and Os of the NFL like Mike Tanier of Too Deep Zone. The one-time geometry teacher of Joe Flacco joins Nestor to discuss the depth and salary cap numbers of the Baltimore Ravens roster and the structural changes Eric DeCosta will need even after Steve Bisciotti finds a new captain to lead Lamar Jackson.
