Luke Jones and Nestor give praise to Minter and entire operation on Ravens thorough beat down of Colts in Indy to start season

/

We knew the Baltimore Ravens had some great football players and other veterans of repute but until we see it on the field, we can’t evaluate the differences between this year and last year. Luke Jones and Nestor give praise to new head coach Jesse Minter and the entire operation of the men of purple after a thorough 41-23 beating of the Colts in Indianapolis to start a season with the promise that comes with Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry and Zay Flowers touching the ball.

The stories we can tell five decades later about our lifeline passion for rock and roll and great music in general. Musician Ron West of The Cultivated and The Duran Band joins Nestor for their mutual Dundalk childhood memories of camping out for concert tickets at Hecht Company from Golden Ring to Reisterstown Road Mall. Seventh row at Journey. Second row at Styx. And that time at Merriweather in the front row with Ben Orr and The Cars.

The day the Colts left Baltimore for Indianapolis

/

With the Baltimore Ravens returning to Indianapolis to start a 31st season in the Charm City, Nestor reached to longtime St. Louis sportswriter Jeff Gordon, who was a colleague at The News American in March 1984 when the Mayflower vans came to Owings Mills. It left quite an impression on a young sportswriter from Detroit, who was in Baltimore learning the craft of local journalism under the fire of an Orioles World Series parade and an NFL team disappearing in the middle of the night.

#ColumnNes: ‘Baltimore beats the Colts’ is always a lovely Sunday afternoon in the land of pleasant living

/

The Ravens certainly haven’t won a lot of games in the friendly heart of the Midwest over these 30 years so a thorough beat down of the Colts in a comfy dome in downtown Indy to start the season is something any purple Baltimore football fan with a true blue soul should appreciate as just a little more special.
