Report: ESPN suspends Ryen Russillo until September
ESPN Radio host Ryen Russillo will be off the air for a while after a criminal entry arrest, but he looks to have kept his job.
Richard Deitsch of Sports Illustrated reported Monday that Russillo, who drunkenly entered an apartment that wasn’t his in Wyoming last week, is currently suspended by ESPN and will return to the air on September 5.

That’s great news for Russillo, who may have feared that he’d lose his job in the days after his arrest. Ultimately, he just has to wait a bit before returning to air.
Russillo was found naked and intoxicated in a Wyoming condo early last Wednesday. It’s certainly an embarrassing story for both him and the network to say the least.
