WNST STORY OF GLORY No. 17 – That crazy playoff night in Nashville with Steve McNair and Ravens fans for charity

If you ever bump into Nestor and want one of the wilder stories of his journey, ask him about the night he did a charity event with Steve McNair in Nashville. We took several busloads and planeloads of Ravens fans to Nashville several times. The 2001 playoff party was legendary but it was in January 2009 when the former Oilers, Titans and Ravens quarterback came to Limelight to greet a sea of purple. And then we threw a party. The videos tell the story better than we ever could. Especially that poor taxi driver…

Are we getting ripped off by billionaire sports owners? (Of course we are…)

It’s been three decades since Baltimore went “all in” on the promise of sports to revitalize a downtown community. Neil deMause of Field of Schemes tells Nestor that this Angelos family money grab and its parity clause benefit to Steve Bisciotti is the same in every city for American sports franchise owners.
