Je me souviens the ghosts of 1996 end zone war paint. That might even be me down in the Flying B hard hat at Memorial Stadium on 33rd Street. #RavensFlock

To honor our 27th Anniversary at WNST, I'll be feasting on my favorites, while I give you the best things to eat all over town. And even on the road to Ocean City. Follow along as we continue spreading the light...

Today is going to be a day for some rock and roll storytelling. Yes, it was 40 years ago today, that I attended Live Aid at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia. I even found a lengthy review I wrote for a local music magazine. You real OGs are gonna love this one…

I always see something in Las Vegas that I've never seen before. Sagacious sushi with a syringe of soy! Sublime.

It's time to connect with my Baltimore friends in Las Vegas. Who is headed to The Maryland Party this weekend at the fabulous Wynn and Encore? I'll be doing Baltimore Positive from a poolside cabana on Sunday and Monday with lots of friends, supporters, community leaders and folks coming together.

I sat her down with a headset (while I ran into another room and cringed, thinking it might've sucked). BUT, hashtag#JennStrong just said: "You should put that up for people to hear it! It's really good!" So, it's coming soon...

(It's a Top 10-ever written kind of song for me so it's simply astonishing that this ever happened or that there's evidence beyond a snapshot.) If it sounds dangerous, it was! I'm pretty sure I've never played the CD for anyone. My wife just previewed it for the first time since 400 people in club.

Well, I found the long-lost CD and audio board recording of the night Mike Peters of The Alarm invited me onto the stage at Jaxx in Springfield, Virginia to walk an acoustic high wire (with no soundcheck or rehearsal) and sing a daring version of "Spirit of '76" with him.

When #JennStrong was fighting for her life a decade ago, we received a then-anonymous note from her two-time donor Niels that said it was his "assignment" in life to help others and that's why he was trying to save her life with bone marrow. Today's loss of Pope Francis revealed this gospel:

There should be a rule that when your franchises have played in a classic World Series, you should always wear those uniforms in these inter league dramas. But, it's like "Wear Your Pajamas To Work" Day today at Camden Yards.

Last century, when I was nationally syndicated, I once did "Nasty Nationwide" from the pool in Phoenix at the Arizona Diamondbacks ballpark on a sunny day. I even sat in the hot tub for a segment.

This was seven years ago and I swear I have no recollection of taking this picture with Alex Ovechkin on the ice in Las Vegas after the game. I have weirdly misplaced all of my Stanley Cup 2018 photos and this Great Eight gem miraculously reappeared today.

On December 13, 1991, I walked into WITH-AM 1230 radio station for the first time at 5 Light Street above McDonald's at corner of Baltimore Street. I was recently gifted the metal sign from over the Nacho Mama’s bar by Skunny's family. My radio roots! Saw this mural at Camden Yards & love it

I'm not sure that I've ever really had Doug DeCinces on my show but this might've been the best Baltimore Orioles chat I've ever had with a former baseball player. Don't miss this one!

The loss of John Feinstein makes me profoundly sad because he was one of my absolute favorite foil and sage humans, whose brilliance was always shared and savored. I will miss him and honor him by sharing our best conversations and his wisdom this weekend.

Every time I sent a text to the great John Feinstein of The Washington Post, he would send me back a time and we would happily convene and ramble on and on with time well spent about our mutual love of people, sports and great sportswriting. I am trying to process his sudden loss today...

If this South African billionaire racist maggot asks any of you what I've done the last five days for my country, tell him that I shared the truth about lies, chaos and ignorance of his tactics and inconceivable ignorance of fan boys who have been carrying water for Putin and The Kompromised Felon.
