Nestor/NST reaches new low

**birdbrain** · 08-30-2006, 01:13 PM

dont know but they mentioned something about tom davis and his wife.....Again, why bring other folk up?

**larrylater** · 08-30-2006, 01:27 PM

I heard that garbage on the way in to work. At first I didn't realize what was going on & thought that my fiance had screwed with my presets.

It was thoroughly disgusting and had no business being on the air. Nestor seemed to be giving Art somewhat of a pass, tossing him softball questions & saying uh, we've all been in internet chat rooms, blah blah blah. Yeah, but we all haven't molested a child!! Nestor is the king of self-indulgence and this O's "rally" thing has turned him into a cartoon. Can't take him seriously any more.

Tom was caught on the other end of the Art Sinclair deal and ended up with Brian Bi.... ahh nevermind...

Try again: who the fuck is Art Sinclair, what's his connection to the Ravens, and what's his scandal?

**larrylater** · 08-30-2006, 02:12 PM

Mista T, Art worked for WCBM and was the radio voice of the Blast for many years, along with Charlie Eckman. He was charged & I believe convicted of having sex with an underage girl (16). He met the girl on the internet and claims she told him that she was 18 (he was 61), even though he picked her up at her high school. For some inexplicable reason, he racanted the entire story in graphic detail this morning on what used to be an all sports station.

Art Sinclair was the sports guy on WCBM 680 for years. I think he actually won a sportscaster of the year award and he was the 'voice' of the Blast.

I was unlucky to turn on the WNST internet feed as that was just kicking off.
Any tips how to get slime/grease out of PC external speakers?

Yet, you tuned in and listened to the whole thing.

Yep, I did, thanks for asking. I was waiting for Nestor & Art to button their pieholes so that Drew could get to the Ravens report. Carry on. :)

Reminds me of Stern's fans. 2/3rds of them "can't stand him" so they tune in everyday. The old morning team of the Swami and a cpl of other horrible hosts used to make me crazy so I checked in everyday.

Hi guys (and gals) -- that "other site" devoted to Ravens coverage taught me the valuable lesson of NOT posting, so in my new role as "reader only", I'm much less involved. Nonetheless, I like what Tony has done with 24x7 and this site so I'm an occasional reader here.

Having read everyone's thoughts and opinions on the Art Sinclair "issue", I think it's important to point out something that is in direct contrast to something that LarryLater posted. I don't do this to defend Art. What he did was wrong. He knows it was wrong. He was punished. He's paying his debt as the court deemed appropriate. But Art isn't here to defend himself against the lies, so I will.

In one asinine sentence, LarryLater proved why message boards such as these can be VERY dangerous open forums. Hopefully Tony and his staff will take note of dumb behavior like this and figure out some way to more carefully review some of the nonsense (also called "lies") that people post.

In Larry's rant, he threw a line in there about "molesting a child", connecting Art Sinclair with such an act.

If you listened today. Really, truly listened, you would have heard the whole story. Art did NOT molest a child. Nothing of the sort happened. Art made contact with a young lady that he believed to be 18 (that's what she told him). Yes, she was 16. But - you sittin' down for this, all you parents of 16 year olds? - in our great state of Maryland, 16 is the LEGAL age for sexual consent. Great state we live in, eh?

The young lady was NOT a minor (by law) and she was NOT a child.

Art's home computer was confiscated and the obvious search was made to connect him in some way with "child pornography". No such content was found on his computer and no charges relating to "child pornography" were ever filed.

Art plead guilty to, essentially, having sex with someone in public. That's it.
I'm not downplaying it. But the truth is, that was the ONLY charge that ever made it to court. The four charges initially against him were, surprise, surprise, dropped when the District Attorney didn't have enough evidence to proceed with the case.

He is not a registered sex offender in the state of Maryland. He is not a child molester. He is, though, a guy who had a sexual encounter with a 16-year old female while he was married and that is absolutely W-R-O-N-G. He knows it, you know it, we all know it. He plead guilty to having sex in a public place (unnatural act, the state calls it). Guess what? If you and your wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend etc. go out to dinner tonight and have a drink or two too many and decide you can't wait until you get home to "do your thing", if you decide to hop in the back seat of your car in the parking lot of the restaurant, you are committing a crime in this state, even if you're married and even if it's consensual.

I've probably violated that law about 15 times in my life...just never with a 16-year old girl I met on-line. Any of you ever violate that law in your life? Show of hands, please. Thought so.

So before you read LarryLater's drivel and assume he's speaking the gospel, please understand he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Child molester? Nope. Guy who exercised extremely poor judgement and got caught and RIGHTFULLY paid the price for that transgression? Yes.

OK, flame away. I'll put my reading glasses back on and return to my previous position as "reader only".
