Every time we visit Nashville, the downtown area and vibrancy seems to double. Now with a giant new stadium being erected and Super Bowl coming to the Music City in four years, the locals are wondering if the Tennessee Titans and their stolen colors of the Oilers will catch up to the progress on the field. As Cam Ward attempts to find success and Titans come to Baltimore a double-digit dog, we wel...

Sure, the Baltimore Ravens should whip the hapless Tennessee Titans at home on Sunday but as Luke Jones and Nestor point out, finding a real and effective offensive line combination must be at the front of concerns as Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry and Zay Flowers look to produce points in the coming weeks. It's less than ideal. Just ask Eric DeCosta... The post Luke Jones and Nestor discuss Ravens...

There is no one on earth better equipped to tell the story of the Houston Oilers becoming the Tennessee Titans than NFL historian and five-decade Houston Chronicle reporter John McClain, who always makes time to talk football and Hall of Fame worthiness with us.

Three decades ago when Mike Mussina was toeing the rubber at Camden Yards, his younger Mark struck up a friendship with Nestor that has lasted a lifetime. And in the week after a Baltimore Ravens' victory over his beloved Dallas Cowboys, it was time to turn to a one-time WNST radio host when the station began 28 years ago to bring the MLB playoffs and our 28th anniversary music memory bank explora...

We don't play the Tennessee Titans as often as we used to around here but lifer Nashville sportswriter Jim Wyatt returns from the Music City for a realistic and current state of the former Houston Oilers franchise and the debate about those Luv Ya Blue threads they're sporting and selling. But, about the winning... The post Titans insider Jim Wyatt joins Nestor from Nashville with preview of Raven...

We are still baffled at the direction of the Baltimore Orioles and nothing was more troubling than watching Mike Elias and Craig Albernaz make excuses without accountability (or ownership representation) at a Monday press conference at The Warehouse that their own network, social media and website didn't air live. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the future of the franchise and the tumultuous offseas...

While all four teams in the AFC ended Week 3 with a 2-1 mark, we're not so sure that the surge of the Browns and resolve of the Steelers will stand the test of time or the standings. But, for now, the Ravens certainly haven't looked the part of the dominant outfit we expected a month ago. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the center of the purple concerns on the offensive line and prepare for Titans o...

It's always fun to talk baseball in October with folks who live and love the game. Former MLB outfielder Casper Wells and our trusted sponsor with The Comfort Guys, Zach Dermer join Nestor for a state of baseball and the Orioles offseason from State Fare in Catonsville on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour.

This recent gathering of old music tickets, artifacts and memories would not be complete without reaching to the guy Nestor met as a 14-year old camping out for concert tickets at the old Hecht's on at the Reistertown Road Plaza. Our old Live Aid and lifer pal Richard Abrahams brings the rock and roll music memory bank to State Fare in Catonsville on the Maryland Crab Tour, adding huge contributio...

The Dallas Cowboys had four chances on the 1-yard line in the final minute and still lost the game.

The post Luke Jones and Nestor kick up all of the issues Ravens...

The run to Rio de Janeiro ended with an interesting Loop. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss all aspects of the Baltimore Ravens 34-31 win over the Dallas Cowboys on the foot of the kicker whose burden has been heavy since last season's exit miss in Pittsburgh. This time, it was 56 yards and "good" on a day when the field, the play, the tackling and the run game weren't always good enough. The guys in...

Anytime we can bring our favorite baseball folks together to discuss the state of the game in the fall as the playoffs begin and the leaves change, we're thrilled.

It feels like that mesh point scramble that helped propel Lamar Jackson to being a two-time MVP candidate with his wheels has been put in the shop by new Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Declan Doyle. Luke Jones and Nestor get ready for Ravens and Cowboys in Rio and talk about when No. 8 becomes a true second running threat in a game that feels like it'll have a lot of Derrick Henry on the t...

We're not the only ones who loved the late, great Ernie Accorsi. His roots in Hershey and love of Baltimore sports and his journey through Art Modell's Browns in Cleveland to the Giants of New York and George Young led him to New York Post columnist Mike Vaccaro, who joins Nestor to share stories of their mutual sports passion and friendship with one of the greatest guys we ever met... The post Ne...

Somebody better spread the news that Baltimore was the epicenter of several gigantic "bring them into the city" events this year. The greatest soccer player of our lifetime. The biggest country music artist in America did two nights. So did the biggest K-Pop act in the world. And the two biggest rugby clubs in the world left behind big tourist money. Our sports business professor Marty Conway take...

Coming off an ugly home beat, the Baltimore Ravens will hop a plane to Rio de Janeiro and a business trip against the Dallas Cowboys in Brazil. The lights will be bright, the turf will be questionable and the men of Jesse Minter will be depleted and need to respond against the biggest football brand in the world on international television from the legendary Maracana. The post Luke Jones and Nesto...

There's no sugar-coating an ugly loss than ends with a 16-play drive where your defense can't get off the field and your new "defensive genius" head coach has no explanations after losing to the New Orleans Saints and a neophyte quarterback at home. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Ravens defense and how Tyler Shough somehow willed the Saints past a group we believed to be more formidable at all...

The reason we save money is to enjoy it and this week many Baltimore Ravens fans will be experiencing a once-in-a-lifetime (or at least until the Ravens play in Abu Dhabi or Bangkok) trip to Rio de Janeiro to see the men of Jesse Minter take on the Dallas Cowboys in an international clash at the legendary Maracana Stadium, which may or may not be a playable NFL surface. Our money dude Leonard Rask...
