Remembering the Baltimore Stallions with Jim Popp

by

Another exciting episode of B-More Opinionated, even with our own Jerry Coleman on assignment in Sarasota!

Jason and Jerry talk about attending Ravens’ OTA’s, the Orioles’ and their continued apparent indecision on what direction they’re going, plus much more.

We’re also proud to welcome former Baltimore Stallions GM Jim Popp. Following the untimely passing of former Stallions head coach Don Matthews, Jason and Jim reminisce about one of the most exciting and magical runs any sports franchise in this city has seen. Between low budgets and dilapidated team facilities, the Stallions still managed to bring a CFL championship to Baltimore — the only non-Canadian team ever to accomplish that feat — and led to the NFL’s return to Baltimore.

And as always, we have Jerry’s homework, Jason’s Married Guy rant, and our minor league player of the week.

PLUS — As discussed on this latest episode, vote on our completely scientific no-joke super-serious poll about how YOU think the Orioles should be handling the upcoming trade season in MLB.

Academy Award Winner Barry Levinson vents about the O’s, and Hall of Famer Jonathan Ogden joins the show

by

It’s a jam-packed BMO Show this week, as we have not one but two guests… and a rant for the ages.

First we cover the Ravens’, catching up on the addition of Jeremy Maclin, and talking Dennis Pitta’s injury and future potential of the receiving corps with Joe Flacco.

We also sit down with a Ravens legend, Hall of Fame lineman Jonathan Ogden to talk his mentorship of Ronnie Stanley, as well as his relationship with the Ravens and the city of Baltimore.

Then, we change topics to something that has been brewing for months on this podcast: Jason LaCanfora’s official (well-prepared!) case to fire Orioles’ GM Dan Duquette. Jason fully recaps Duquette’s tenure in Baltimore and discusses exactly why the move cannot wait.

Finally, Academy Award winning filmmaker Barry Levinson joins the pod to let off his own steam about the Orioles, as well as his recent and upcoming film projects with HBO!

Baltimore’s Cinderellas of Soccer; Plus Ravens’ OTA Injury Woes

by

While the Orioles continue to throw Triple-A pitchers into high leverage situations and the Ravens lose key playmakers in meaningless practices, we catch up with the most undercovered Baltimore sports story today!

Christos F.C., your favorite local semi-pro soccer club, have played their way from the beer league to competing in the U.S. Open Cup with MLS giants D.C. United. Team Captain and lead striker Pete Caringi III joins the pod and talks about the less than improbable road that has led Christos F.C. to serious cup contention.

Jason LaCanfora and Jerry Coleman also discuss the difficult week at The Castle, where the Ravens lost CB Tavon Young for the year, and TE Dennis Pitta — potentially for his career. Meanwhile Dan Duquette and the Orioles’ developmental strategies (or lack thereof) remain a thorn in the side of many fans — particularly those co-hosting the podcast.

And as always, we have Jerry’s homework, Jason’s Married Guy Rant, our Minor Leaguer of the Week, and much more!

Chad Johnson weighs in on the NFL’s new lenient TD Celebration Policy

by

With the news of the NFL rolling back punishment for excessive celebrations after touchdowns, we at the BMO Show felt it was only appropriate that we brought on one of the biggest experts on the NFL’s hypocrisy: Chad Johnson.

Ochocinco goes into detail with Jason and Jerry about his unique relationships with Roger Goodell, Marvin Lewis, and other memories from his playing days against the Ravens.

We also check in on the sputtering Orioles, as Baltimore looks to recover from another bad case of Ubaldo.

As always, we get into Jerry’s homework assignment, Jason’s married guy rant and Minor Leaguer of the week, plus much more!

Digesting the Ravens’ Draft with Assistant GM Eric DeCosta

by

On the other side of the 2017 NFL Draft, Jerry and Jason are back to discuss everything about the Ravens’ selections. The guys spar over the Ravens mentality and their decision to forego offensive weapons in the draft (3:00) before we welcome in the team’s Assistant General Manager, Eric DeCosta (14:00). Eric and Jason go pick by pick for the birds, and discuss some of the tough decisions the team faced throughout the draft including O.J. Howard, Ryan Anderson, and others! Plus get the lowdown on how the team sought after Marlon Humphrey, Tim Williams, and the rest of the 2016 draft class.

We’re also talking Orioles, Adam Jones and the indefensible Red Sox fans (38:00); Jason’s married guy rant, Coleman’s homework… And last but certainly not least, learn the degrees of separation between Uncle Jerry and supermodel legend Elle Macpherson (I guarantee it’s less than you think). It’s a packed show on this week’s episode of BMore Opinionated!

Also, be sure to check out Jason’s latest column on CBSSports.com, where he goes further in-depth on our interview with Eric DeCosta and the Ravens draft.
