13. Billy Ripken

Overshadowed by his older brother and father in the history of the franchise, Billy was the entertainer of the group and has gone on to find success in broadcasting as a personality unafraid to speak his mind unlike the more reserved Cal.

Billy was compared to Ferris Bueller by Cal in describing him growing up and how he’d eventually be the one to keep a major league clubhouse loose, but it was the famous 1989 Fleer baseball card that keeps people talking even 25 years later.

Though he attempted to explain what really happened several years ago, Billy obtained fame when he posed holding a bat with “F–k Face” written on the knob and the card was mistakenly released and rose in value to nearly $500 at one time. Always more of a loose cannon than his more famous brother, Billy Ripken has shown more than enough personality to land on our list of local sports goofballs.

Podcasts, Pearl Jam passion and the present tense with The Mayne Event

They met on the backstretch at Pimlico three decades ago and The Mayne Event always returns and never disappoints for sports, comedy, charity and why Eddie Vedder shouldn't trust Nestor. Longtime ESPNer Kenny Mayne checks in for another round of tales of wiffle ball with Ken Griffey, podcasts with the other Manning and still being pissed off about the Sonics (and Pilots) departure from Seattle.

These milestones continue to add up as the 25th anniversary of the Baltimore Ravens' Super Bowl XXXV win is coming later this month and Nestor is catching up with many of the Purple Reign legacies about life – on and off the field – as we celebrate the night we all felt the civic pride of that first miracle in Tampa. Reflections here with the man who coached Jamal Lewis, Priest Holmes, Sam Gash and Femi Ayanbadejo a quarter of a century ago.
The Ravens weren't good enough on the field

Firing the head coach and changing leadership will certainly create an interesting offseason in Owings Mills. No one covers the Xs and Os of the NFL like Mike Tanier of Too Deep Zone. The one-time geometry teacher of Joe Flacco joins Nestor to discuss the depth and salary cap numbers of the Baltimore Ravens roster and the structural changes Eric DeCosta will need even after Steve Bisciotti finds a new captain to lead Lamar Jackson.
