This July 3 will mark the 19th anniversary of Russell Street Report, formerly known as Ravens247. At the very early stages of this endeavor, I took the approach of taking news about the Ravens and distilling it from the perspective of an informed fan. As time went by, the approach was the correct one, since it was pretty obvious that we would never be a source for breaking news. We simply didn’t have the bandwidth to fill such shoes.
On occasion throughout the years, we’ve landed on a few scoops that we were the first to post, but for the most part, we opted to stand by and take the lead from the team insiders and then put our own spin on it.
