At the Super Bowl in January 2015, Nestor sat down to discuss with then-young Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker a potentially glorious Hall of Fame career in the Charm City eating Royal Farms chicken and drinking real fresh, real fast coffee and going to Canton.

When we take “A Cup Of Soup Or Bowl” to Costas Inn in Dundalk, old friends are bound to walk in and when James Thomas tried to sneak out, Nestor pulled him back in to discuss everything that’s happened since he was the quarterback of their 1978 Pop Warner football team in Logan Village.

Luke Jones and Nestor discuss “most valuable” and voters and All-Pro Awards and “Honors” TV shows that are dreadful. And the Canton knocks of glory that didn’t come (just yet) for Yanda and Suggs.

And of course, the Chiefs’ attempt at the unprecedented three in a row in New Orleans.
It turns out that the “Lamar Jackson vs. Josh Allen” debate for MVP was a tad bit premature. As Luke Jones and Nestor discuss another Mahomes and Kelce Super Bowl in New Orleans, we wonder what it’s going to take for another AFC team (and quarterback) to break through in the Taylor Swift era.

The praise for the offense of the Baltimore Ravens is universal but they’re still not playing football into late January.
