Ryen Russillo appears to be on the verge of leaving The Ringer. A report from Front Office Sports says that the ex-ESPN radio host will launch a new digital production company with help from Dave Portnoy and Barstool Sports.
Shortly after the story was published, Portnoy tweeted that he would not confirm or deny the report, "but gun to head I'd probably confirm it." An hour later he retweeted a clip from Russillo's latest podcast episode saying, "Welcome to the family @ryenrussillo."
