We always have time and the heart to continue to deliver the message of former Baltimore Ravens and Stallions linebacker O.J. Brigance, whose battle against ALS has inspired everyone he's ever touched. Nestor was touched by the visit from the Executive Director of the Brigance Brigade, Drew Vanlandingham, who brings Nestor a Juice update and educates us on the big Canton walk and run on May 3rd.

It's been far from perfect but it's been good enough for the Orioles to remain very much in the hunt in the American League East as the scuffling Boston Red Sox come to Camden Yards this weekend. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Birds taking two of three in Kansas City and tip-toeing through all sorts of injuries, cold bats and a bullpen that's provided much-needed relief to help them hover near .500 while awaiting better health and Camden Yards cooking.

We still love the OG Dundalk location of Costas Inn but coming up on the first anniversary of the "new" Timonium location we sidled up to the bar inside the racetrack grandstand and adjacent to the OTB to discuss the upcoming horse racing Triple Crown season and all of the things that Pete Triantafilos has learned in expanding his father and family's vision for the hospitality that has made the name "Costas" legendary in Baltimore seafood circles.

We've always mingled with the same executive leaders who make Baltimore and our region grow and go, so it was a pleasure to hear more about the I95 Business story from founder Vicki Franz, who shares her story of publishing and local business connection for C-level professionals and business owners throughout the area.

His father Kevin served as Baltimore County Executive and was on the campaign trail attempting to become the Governor of Maryland in 2018 when he tragically died. So, it's not a huge surprise that youthful Karson Kamenetz would be dipping his toes into the political realm with a run at the county council seat at stake in the 4th District on the northwest side of the beltway. We discuss what is important to constituents in our area right now like traffic, crime and affordability. And the power and expectations of his family name.

Sure, it's not the lineup that manager Craig Albernaz envisioned back in Sarasota in February but the Orioles need to figure out how to stop striking out and start hitting with runners in scoring position. Nestor Aparicio and Luke Jones discussed the Birds' struggles, including a five-game losing streak and scuffling through Kansas City waiting for the roster to get healthier and more productive.

Is there an "ace" in the starting rotation deck for the Baltimore Orioles? Sure, we all believed that Trevor Rogers and Kyle Bradish would make it look easy and that Shane Baz would pitch to his contract and Chris Bassitt would stabilize the staff and Zach Eflin...and then the season began. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Birds' pitching depth and scraping by on any win possible in Kansas City.

When the Preakness isn't in Baltimore, only has 4,800 attendees and might not have the Kentucky Derby winner (again), it's incumbent that we find the brightest and most veteran minds and industry observers to examine every aspect of what the hell is going on with the middle leg of the Triple Crown, which was once the annual Charm City Super Bowl and has lost its luster beyond recognition. Lifer horse racing insider and Baltimorean via Philly, Dick Jerardi returns for the 35th consecutive spring to give Nestor a full perspective on future of Preakness and Triple Crown and what's at stake in the largest Stakes race in our state.

It's been quite a week for the fashion-forward sports fans of Baltimore. Our pal and sports brand artist Todd Radom joins Nestor to discuss the Ravens Next Flight uniforms and helmet variations and the City Connect" concept for Orioles fans. Let's peek inside how the mind of an artist, the heart of a billionaire, the wants and needs of Nike, "properties" and how the churn of reality and sales shifts the times, shadows and "laundry" of your favorite team and league.

If we were "branding" this, we'd call it 'Korman's Korner' but since all we have to sell is local journalism and facts and truth in reporting, Executive Sports Editor Chris Korman of The Baltimore Banner returns for another free-form round at Costas Inn in Timonium on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour. Some spring sports cleaning and cleansing with Nestor about the Ravens, Orioles, Terps and local coverage of the college NIL world and high schools sports. And how it all ties together with club teams and the recreation Little League world, where he hangs his hat and leadership. We made this one for the "stick to sports" crowd...
