I have no doubt that someone like FS1 would throw money at him. But I'm talking about specifics. Ryen really can't hold a show on his own. Some of his best work comes from when he has an interesting co host or it's a roundtable environment.

So it's possible that he could leave ESPN and link up with Kanell on FS1. But would you really want to listen to that tag team again? Because Russillo & Kanell was very hit or miss at times.

I dont think Ryen wants to leave ESPN because it would be better for his career. I think he knows it wouldnt.

I just think he feels it is time to leave for his own happiness. I think he kinda wants to do his own thing

I like Russillo, but venting on Twitter about your job is dumb.
it's ESPN...they LOVE all this controversy. It helps keep them relevant.

They rely HEAVILY on social media shitstorms

Russillo not happy with ESPN


He would fit in nicely with the MSB then. He does not have to work for Disney, he can resign.

I don't think he'd be out of work long, if he left.

He'd definitely find work and it may also be a good decision to do so at this point, but he'd also likely "never" be heard from again.

I don't mean that literally but you get the idea.

Russillo knows he's being pushed out. Its weird that they dont do more with him. He's one of the best they have.

I don't get it. Do people really like Stephen A., Mike and Mike, and shite like that better? It's awful.

Nobody can deny this. Anyone who plays pickup knows this.

If you are white, and you hustle and play physical defense, you will be fricking hated compared to a black guy doing the same

Its like someone said earlier- Its not about being good/knowledgeable/interesting anymore. Now its about being controversial and edgy. Its why idiots like Cowherd and Stephen A have their own shows.

Russillo should partner up with Marcellus Wiley.

After Max Kellerman left his ESPN-LA radio show with Marcellus (max and marcellus) they paired marcellus up with random espn personalities for about 2 months before finally settling on someone.

BY FAR the best combo was Russillo with Wiley. They were actually better than Max and Marcellus.

Russillo, SVP, Kanell, Clay Travis roundtable TV show/radio show on FS1 would kill it.

Looks like he will go out in a blaze of glory. I'm thinking like Mack in The Predator.

The LeBatard show has raised complaints about promos during their show in the past as well, although their's was different. 

They complained that promos were claiming "the biggest names in sports talk here" and then listing Josh Norman and Dabo Swinney talking on Mike and Mike, etc. and then their guest: Ty Detmer 


Having Ty Detmer as a guest, is in essence what the Lebatard gimmick is all about.
