It's truly been an exhilarating week! On Wednesday night at Padonia Station, I had the opportunity to interview former Ravens head coach Brian Billick, former Baltimore sportscaster John Buren, and WNST's Drew Forrester in WNST's King of Baltimore Sportstalk Finals. It was a great time talking sports in front of a live audience.
At the end of the night, I was crowned the King of Baltimore Sportstalk! The other six competitors did outstanding work, and I truly enjoyed meeting them. It's exciting to know there are others out there just as passionate as me about Baltimore sports. It's such a passionate city filled with knowledgeable and proud fans.
I would just like to thank everyone who have shown their support by reading my blogs and listening to my radio spots. Your kind words and encouragement continue to mean so much to me!
As for the future, I hope to do more work with WNST and WNST.net, but we'll see what happens. It's truly a great sports media company that really knows the pulse of this great city.

Update on WNST's King of Baltimore Sportstalk Competition
I thought I'd take a moment to post an update on my status in WNST's King of Baltimore Sportstalk Competition. I have advanced to the final round, taking place next Wednesday, May 27 at Padonia Station at 7 P.M. If you're in the area, I invite you to come out and cheer me on. There are six other finalists, and it figures to be a fun night of local sportstalk.

Why the Orioles bullpen held a closed-door meeting
From the home office in Glen Rock, Pa., I bring to you the Top 10 Reasons Why the Orioles Bullpen Held a Closed-Door Meeting on Monday Afternoon.
10. They’re still trying to figure out just how high Radhames Liz’s ERA was in his last stint with the club.
9. “I know we’ve asked you before, but is it pronounced ‘Danny’ or ‘Dan-eez?’”
8. They figured since they can’t manage to close the door late in the game, they might as well try to do it in the clubhouse.
Read the rest and comment here.

Join me on AM 1570 WNST on Friday afternoon!
I'll be in the WNST studio on Friday afternoon at 4:20 to discuss what's happening in the world of Baltimore sports. With the Ravens starting their mandatory minicamp on Friday, it figures to be a hot topic on Friday afternoon.
I'd like to know what you think the biggest story will be heading into training camp at McDaniel College on July 27. Are you most interested in seeing the progression of Joe Flacco from his rookie season to year two? What about the effect new defensive coordinator Greg Mattison will have on the Ravens defense after the departure of Rex Ryan? Or, are you anxious to see who emerges as the replacement for Bart Scott in the Ravens linebacker corps?
There should be plenty to talk about as we get our first tease of football this weekend! You can listen in the Baltimore area by tuning into AM 1570 WNST or listen online at WNST.net. I'll be taking phone calls at 410-481-1570. Start your weekend the right way with Luke Jones on WNST!
