Derek's Bio
Born in Baltimore, MD, and raised and currently residing in the oasis of Pasadena, Derek has been a lifelong fan of Charm City sports. Before he could walk, he was propping himself up against the television set with one hand, tiny bat in the other, trying to emulate the swing of Eddie Murray. Despite their best efforts to rip the love from his heart, Derek still dreams of the day when the Orioles are no longer the laughing stock of the American League East, and the MLB in general. Growing up a fan of football, but with an allegiance to no team in particular, Derek had no problem latching onto the Ravens from the day he heard they were on the way. He spends his days as an environmental scientist, but by night, Derek shares his thoughts at his website, B'More Birds' Nest (www.bmorebirdsnest.com), and now here at WNST.net.

(You know, like LOLCATS…) My full game recap is in the works, but in the meantime, let’s have some fun at the Patriots’ expense, shall we? Thanks to the Baltimore Sun for all the pics. ... Read More »
As everyone knows by now, no doubt, little Wes Welker’s season is over. Welker, eerily, was making a cut to try to avoid Bernard Pollard, the same guy who ended Tom Brady’s 2008 season in Week 1, when his knee bent awkwardly. That awkward bend served to injure his knee ligaments to the ... Read More »
The last time the Ravens and Steelers met, it was Thanksgiving-time. The purple feasted on the Steelers’ backups in true Thanksgiving fashion. The Nest, in the spirit of the season, gave thanks for all the reasons we’re glad we aren’t Steelers fans. This time around, its another Holiday, and another meeting ... Read More »
#10. Ketchup-Mush Field Heinz Field is the biggest piece of Crap football playing surface left in the NFL. Maybe instead of producing all of those damn Terrible Towels they could spend some money on putting together a field that’s just slightly better than the pile of dirt I played in growing up. Or at ... Read More »
