The torch has been passed at Baltimore Beatdown, our SB Nation affiliate which covers the Ravens. We would like to say goodbye to Bruce Raffel, who had managed the blog since its inception in October 2007. The person taking over is Jason Butt, who made his welcome post at Baltimore Beatdown here.
Jason's experience in NFL writing comes as a member of CBS Sports' Rapid Reports team of writers. Jason covered the Atlanta Falcons for two years with the network, but picked up the Ravens last year. Here is one of his Rapid Reports articles from the end of 2012.
Welcome to the network, Jason! Hopefully we can extend an olive branch for some good discussions with him and his staff as the season approaches. Be sure to head on over to the Beatdown to check out what Jason has in store for Baltimore's training camp.
