#ColumnNes: Steel trying to figure out how to win in Pittsburgh

The Baltimore Ravens are not playing smart football. The lack of discipline across the board has reared its head and leaves them as indistinct as their 7-4 mark headed to face to the Chargers.

They are the most penalized team in the NFL. And continually adding to the resume.

They have earned the distinction of the 32nd-ranked team against the pass. Somehow, the Steelers even managed to run for 122 yards on them on Sunday.

My fall journalism “Declaration of Independence” – Breaking ‘kayfabe’ on how we’re going to cover Orioles and Ravens after 40 years

Dear John Harbaugh: I’ll let your words and “help” tell the story of my professional extermination as a Ravens media member

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh privately vowed to help Nestor Aparicio with his media credential bullying situation with Chad Steele in any way he could. Weeks later, Aparicio was exterminated. Harbaugh then told him he was unhappy about it but powerless because it wasn’t his department in Owings Mills.

Dear Steve Bisciotti: Ask Chad Steele what he thinks I said about Sage so I can tell Ravens fans why I was really exterminated

“What did do you do wrong, Nestor?” “Why would the Ravens throw you out?” “Why are you the only one in the local media whom they’ve thrown out?” “Why have they treated you this way?” “WHAT DID YOU DO WRONG!?!” I am fed up with these questions from Baltimore sports fans so I wrote to the owner because these questions are his to answer. Letters to John Harbaugh and Eric DeCosta are also coming soon.

Why did Chad Steele take my press credentials after 26 years of covering the Baltimore Ravens?

This is my story in my own words. Listen and learn about how the NFL treats the local media and avoids the tough questions and intimidates local media who have traveled and reported on Baltimore football since before Art Modell brought the Ravens here in 1995. What happened is wrong and here’s why…

On college football and going to College Park to watch the Terps

Our money guy Leonard Raskin spends his weekends holed down with college football. And what a weekend it was from a South Bend surprise from an old Ravens coach to College Park where Coach Locksley can’t like what he sees. Something to take our minds off the Kansas City loss and 10 days before the Raiders arrive.

Discussing the future of Camden Yards with an expert

The second part of our extensive holiday chat with former Maryland Stadium Authority chairman Tom Kelso continued with a discussion about the future of downtown stadia and growth for Baltimore and what the new lease means for the Orioles, Ravens and the downtown area. No one in local media has discussed this $1.2 billion investment more thoroughly, candidly and accurately than we have and provided the information for citizens. This is important stuff for sports fans and citizens who are funding billionaires for franchises.

Why is a long-term lease at Camden Yards so important for the Orioles?

We’re the only ones in town talking about why the Orioles don’t have a lease at Camden Yards. Dennis Koulatsos asked Nestor Aparicio his thoughts on why there’s no deal between the Angelos family and the new regime in Annapolis.

When the local media is bullied, Ravens fans are the losers

Lifelong journalist Nestor Aparicio took a deep dive with Dennis Koulatsos on the unprofessional public relations antics of Chad Steele and how the integrity and accountability of the Baltimore Ravens organization has changed dramatically over three decades. “No questions for our leadership about Lamar Jackson,” says the brand manager. Patently absurd.
