ESPN Expat Simmons Launches New Site The Ringer

Boston Globe: Sports media mogul Bill Simmons’s new website, The Ringer, is officially up and running. The new site is hosted on Medium and has already attracted a large following. With more than 218,000 Twitter followers on day one of publication, Simmons’s first project since parting ways with ESPN more than a year ago is off to an auspicious start. Having gone on a hiring spree in March, the site appears to be following a similar model set during Simmons’s time running Grantland.
