This info started going around today, lots of articles talking about it, people are all flabbergasted because that would have made her one of the highest paid employees in the entire company of 6,000 people. I'd love to hear what her ex-coworkers are saying right about now.

Not sure why that number shocks people when you see the contracts ESPN is dishing out to their newsbreakers like Schefter, Woj, Shams, etc.

Russini was the #2 behind Schefter at ESPN at the time she left for the Athletic.

In terms of making money, was she actually worth that much in additional revenue?

The only sane reason you'd pay someone 800k is if you genuinely thought they were going to generate more than that in additional profit.

Are people really subscribing to the Athletic in droves because of this one particular tart?

I have no idea, but my point is that they paid to pull her away from ESPN.

All of these newsbreaking positions are dumb.

The practice is definitely dumb because they are all just mouthpieces for the teams they are breaking news on.

Unfortunately, the public at large eats their shite up which is why they are getting the money that they do.

It's the allure of feeling like you're on the inside, which is complete and utter bullshite.

It's why I question that sanity of people who pay for recruiting subscriptions. None of those people are actually uncovering anything on their own, rather they are just telling the story that they are being fed by the school and/or recruit to control the narrative.
