So Dan was trying to get suspended, got a slap on the wrist, and ultimately suspended himself 
Simmons' creativity was massively overstated. Really, his strength is that he has a good eye for potential talent. A lot of that first wave of Grantland hires turned out pretty well.
But The Ringer fell off HARD from the Grantland days. They're okay, I suppose. But their non sports content (and their sports content that's written in the same style as their non sports content) is borderline terrible.
I agree that ESPN could use some sort of creative shakeup, but that shyt isn't coming any time soon with their current regime.

I notice Mike Ryan is only ever disturbed by black issues.
He gets up in arms about women's issues (called Lavar a straight mygonist), but, doesn't seems to think Joe Rogan is problematic in the slighest--he gets pretty close to white supremist.
He was fukking glowing.

I'm a fan but I know Joe does weird shyt at times.

His last name is Ruiz but he goes by his middle name Ryan. That should tell you everything you wanna know about the guy.

You can easily talk against racism without mentioning names.
And why is everyone always reactioning to his rhetoric and not his policy?

Mike Ryan is so terrible. Just had to listen to him slurp and defend OBJ. I really hope the Browns have a bad season just so I don't have to listen to him talk about them. I know there are homers and they defend their teams but the way this dude does it is unbearable.

Damn, I wouldn't be shocked if Dan fukked around and got them to buyout his contract. "Welcome to the Stugotz Show!"

I remember Dan saying he took less money just so he could have the ability to say what he want and not have ESPN completely control what he says.
And it's not like he said anything scandalous.
A journalist went journalist. If ESPN wanted a fukking puppet to do and say everything they wanted, they should've hired some of the 20,000 other boring ass sport radio personalities out there and be shocked when nobody watches the shyt.

God I hope not. I like Stugotz, but dude cannot carry a show by himself.
