A question for Baltimore residents (and others who might catch WNST)

Youtube started recommending me Nestor's stuff on Ravens. I tried watching one and stopped promptly.
Does anybody listen to him? If so, how can you stand a tone of his voice?
I had the same experience, about one minute of listening and I’m done. I’d rather listen to Vinny cerrato than this obnoxious uninformed fool.

Baltimore residents have extremely low standards for sports journalism it seems lol
 
I love this attitude...

Early in the season when we were given only a hint of what this team could be we were all concerned with getting any love. We’ve been conditioned to think we had to fly under the radar to be successful. We counted on being the underdog to draw on for motivation. In the past we would get props and sometimes disappoint.

My son told me “how about we just become a really good team that gets credit for being a really good team and we just learn how to deal with expectations and still succeed.

The above quotes are Harbaugh’s way of dealing with the praise and it is echoed by everyone on the team.
 
I’m getting really tired of watching Mark Andrews get mugged every week with no PI call. It’s led to at least 2 of Lamars INTs as well
 


Very interesting. Cleveland (9) and Cincinnati (8) have played the most winning teams. Then us and Atlanta at 7 and we still have 2 to go.
Serious battle testing there.
Next year should be remarkably easier, as the AFC North plays the NFC East, the current laughing stock of the NFL.
 
Those quotes from Harbs showed me that he has a knack of spitting hot fire at any given time. Those were BARS!
True but the main point of my posts was that gone are the days of hoping we fly under the radar and cringe as a fan base when people start predicting us to win cause that’s when we have a let down.

That was another team. A similar team but different at its core. They now have the weight of expectation but that’s ok because they don’t care what is said they only care about winning and they win by believing in each other.

This team just says bring it on

its unsurprising given that we've had to play the nfc west and the afc east (as well as us and the steelers in our division)

that's not surprising considering they have had to play both the Ravens and the Steelers and we have had to play Cleveland and Cincinnati who have losing records.

Competence and confidence are the best friends. Fans needed a little time to adjust but we're getting there.
