Did he make the grade? The official Steve Bisciotti Press Conference Report Card is here…

Since the Baltimore Ravens owner provided his “report card” on some of his favorite media members at Tuesday’s press conference – and let’s be honest, we all know I didn’t make the “professional” grade cut because I bring tough questions and uncomfortable truths – I’ve decided to provide my inaugural (if he comes back every year) “Steve Bisciotti Press Conference Report Card.” Because people keep asking me what I think in addition to asking why no one reads anything anymore at The Sun behind a paywall.

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.
