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.

Dear John Harbaugh: How many of the lies do you think we believe?
Making commercials when you win; hiding without accountability or the expectation of it when you lose. And, lately, you lose far too much…and hide far too frequently. And that starts with your owner and oozes into your locker room. And manifests with wealthy, entitled players hiding in defeat. It’s beyond a “bad look.” It’s what losers do – and true champions would never even consider. Accountability is optional for the Baltimore Ravens but the scoreboard and standings don’t lie.
