It's no secret that Rosedale Bank came along in 2020 and rescued WNST and Baltimore Positive during the COVID work stoppage when getting PPP help from the government felt impossible and the "big bank" folks weren't there to take a call, answer an email or care enough to help out a small local business.

Every baseball fan knows that an epic labor war is coming the minute this small market World Series concludes and both sides are very dug in on their stance.

It's all Lamar, Lamar, Lamar here at the injury headquarters of the Baltimore Ravens and Luke Jones playing the waiting and watching game in Owings Mills. But, as we point out, head coach (and defensive genius) Jesse Minter better figure out some ways to slow down the rested, healthy and ready offense of Joe Burrow and his cast of world-class receivers.

With the demise of the radio station on the FM dial, our dude...

The Baltimore Ravens have some moving parts on the offensive line with the addition of Cam Jurgens and a rested and ready Cincinnati Bengals defensive front will test the offense of Declan Doyle, especially if Lamar Jackson is not playing or less than mobile.

For all Baltimore Ravens fans, Luke Jones and Nestor wasted no time doing a postmortem on a terrible 13-10 beat in Cleveland on Sunday to the "first place" Browns. The Derrick Henry fumble.

We'll say one thing for the "new" Baltimore Ravens of head coach Jesse Minter: he hasn't been playing games with the injury report like the other guy.
