We always learn when she returns…
When a Peacock, your credit card and six bucks a month sits between you and Patrick Mahomes

The marvel of Lamar Jackson and awaiting the winners
The reality of the Pittsburgh Steelers game is that many of the starters will have to play four quarters. Dennis Koulatsos joins Nestor to make the argument that maybe that isn’t such a bad thing. As long as No. 8 is ready to go in two weeks, the Ravens can win a Super Bowl.
WNST STORY OF GLORY No. 15 – The night Deion Sanders made Parkville “Primetime” with Ravens fans
We’re still in the process of trying to recover the actual two-hour interview from Putty Hill Station in November 2004, but we remember this is the night that “Prime” rolled into Parkville with then-backup quarterback Kordell “Slash” Stewart (one-time star of the Pittsburgh Steelers) to make it a Hall of Fame evening for Ravens fans. We’ll find the tape. Soon. We hope…

WNST STORY OF GLORY No. 16 – The epic Pittsburgh Purple Pep Rallies and Parties
Nestor remembers the Pittsburgh hotel manager howling when the Baltimore AM sports radio wackjob guy told her he was gonna bring a thousand people in purple to her fancy corporate wedding ballroom for four hours to drink beer and prepare to eliminate the Steelers from the AFC Championship Game. The game didn’t go well in 2009 or 2011 but we threw a helluva party up there with ‘yins. Our WNST Roadtrips could affect everything but the outcome for #RavensFlock.

Luke Jones and Nestor fete the dominant AFC top seeded Baltimore Ravens on a regular season for the ages after a 56-19 dismantling of the Miami Dolphins to earn three weeks of time to get ready for the next game that counts.

Slowing down the Miami offense and earning the No. 1 seed

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…

WNST STORY OF GLORY No. 19 – Getting “Baltimore” back on the Orioles jerseys wasn’t as easy as it sounds
We always find it rather comical that the Orioles and Angelos family nitpicks with Major League Baseball about the City Connect jerseys. In the modern era, everything the franchise does attempts to “reconnect” with the Baltimore fan base that it spent years alienating and subjugating by pampering to Washington baseball fans with the lack of the hometown city name on the road jerseys. Our radio station, hosts and listeners spent the first decade of our existence as the hometown sports radio station trying to explain to Peter Angelos why “BALTIMORE” across the crests of the visiting grays was not just a marketing ploy or a sales pitch, but a way of life for the home team.
