Since leaving ESPN, Bill Simmons has signed with HBO, produced a weekly podcast, and made occasional appearances on sports radio and television shows. But his writing which had been a big part of his media brand’s success with ESPN and Grantland, has been relatively quiet.
Well, that’s about to change.
Simmons confirmed today on Twitter that he has a brand new website “The Ringer” in development, and reports indicate that a launch is expected to occur in late-Spring or early-Summer. Here’s the announcement.
Simmons also announced several new hires, including seven former Grantland employees. They are Craig Gaines, Bryan Curtis, Ryan O’Hanlon, Danny Chau, Riley McAtee, Joe Fuentes, and Tate Frazier.
