Many OG Baltimore sports fans would tell you this was the greatest day of their lives. The National Football League came back to Baltimore and we won Super Bowl XXXV on a glorious night in Tampa, Florida. But before the game, we threw a party so big that WJZ asked if they come and broadcast from it. The legend of Whiskey Joe’s and Super Bowl Sunday, January 28, 2001. Ask anyone who was lucky enough to be there…
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.

Ever. It’s been over 18 years since we launched the most trusted source for breaking sports news in Baltimore. What was the big news that you heard first and where were you when you received the text? (And ask Nestor about the time he purposely launched one in the cafeteria at the Ravens’ Liars Luncheon with NFL schedule news to watch everyone in the room reach for their phones!)
Nestor remembers the Pittsburgh hotel manager howling when the Baltimore AM sports radio wackjob guy told her he was gonna bring a thousand people in purple to her fancy corporate wedding ballroom for four hours to drink beer and prepare to eliminate the Steelers from the AFC Championship Game. The game didn’t go well in 2009 or 2011 but we threw a helluva party up there with ‘yins. Our WNST Roadtrips could affect everything but the outcome for #RavensFlock.
