After the Baltimore Ravens won the Super Bowl in January 2001, Art Modell visited the set of my nationally syndicated Sporting News Radio set in Westminster at Bair Stadium. I think he was telling jokes — as usual!

Art Modell changed Baltimore forever.

He brought the Ravens to town and he gave me the best advice I ever got from anyone in sports:

“When you think I’m wrong feel free to criticize me. If all you do is praise me, no one will ever believe it. Then, you’ll have no credibility. Whatever you do, be fair, be honest…”

Right Now in Baltimore

Leivovich: On the swamp and racket of The Big Game and bad government

Leivovich: On the swamp and racket of The Big Game and bad government

"It's the best book ever written about the modern National Football League," so says Nestor about Big Game. And that's why we love having its author Mark Leibovich back on when his New England Patriots proudly return to Baltimore for some playoff knockout style football. Now with The Atlantic, the longtime political insider for The New York Times is also heavily immersed in Trumplandia and weighs in on the ongoing Epstein saga and the usual D.C. shenanigans.

Gordy pushes the beat to another Grammy nomination

Two-time Grammy Award winning percussionist and Marylander M.B. Gordy returns from Los Angeles to tell Nestor about the beat of his latest – and fourth – Grammy nomination with "Seven Seasons" in the Classical Compendium category.
Hail, hail Halethorpe! A Honey of a spot to shoot pool, watch the game and taste fresh flavor

Hail, hail Halethorpe! A Honey of a spot to shoot pool, watch the game and taste fresh flavor

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.
