It was nearly three decades ago when Nestor dubbed the Baltimore Ravens’ Pre-Draft Press Conference “The Liars’ Luncheon.” So, it’s fitting that Luke Jones joins him here for straights truths about the Eric DeCosta “process” that began with Ozzie Newsome and will deftly navigate next weekend’s NFL Draft with owner Steve Bisciotti asking hard questions of his football people.

But, once again, the Justin Tucker scandal they’d love to make “go away” is still kicking on draft weekend. Luke Jones and Nestor go through the lies and truths of the gathering of selected media for a league-mandated buffet of comedy and eras. And delicious ravioli.

All is very quiet in Owings Mills and the aftermath of the NFL Owners Meetings in Florida but owner Steve Bisciotti (quietly) inked head coach John Harbaugh to a three-year extension and team president Sashi Brown defended keeping Justin Tucker on the roster.
