OT: ESPN host Ryen Russillo arrested for criminal entry while on vacation in WY
Yesterday, dedicated ESPN employee Ryen Russillo tried his level best to push the Robert Lee fiasco out of the news cycle.
ESPN executives: "How the fuck is this only Thursday?? This week has lasted a month."
Money quote from SI.com writeup (LINK):
Ryen Russillo, the host of The Russillo Show on ESPN Radio, was arrested in Jackson, Wy., on Wednesday for misdemeanor criminal entry, a charge that is similar in nature to trespassing.
The police were reportedly called by a couple after Russillo entered their condo and refused to leave. A probable cause affidavit states obtained by the Jackson Hole News & Guide that Russillo was found "lying on the bed in the south bedroom naked except for his pants around his ankles" at around 3:30 a.m.
Before you holier-than-thou types cast stones, who among us hasn't entered someone else's condo uninvited, refused to leave, then passed out naked (except for pants around the ankles)? Judge not, lest you something-something-ESPN.

The night my 3rd daughter was born, I woke up in a stolen car up on blocks that was registered to an Angel Martinez of Grand Rapids. This was just before cell phones, and when I returned back from using a phone at a nearby house, the mobile evidence unit of the GRPD was dusting the outside for prints.
Needless to say, I eventually gave up drinking, but it was a hell of a 21-year run.
Lucky that one wasn't a B&E of a car type rap, or worse, that I had hurt somebody. BTW---I had been driving my wife's (ex) new car that evening, but had somehow misplaced it. She was not happy. Cops found it later though, so all's well that ends well!

Shit. You need to write a book.

... would you say, "Needless to say?"

You may stil have your pants around your ankles, but you won't pass out.
August 24th, 2017 at 12:21 PM ^
August 24th, 2017 at 12:22 PM ^
I can confirm this as absolutely accurate!
August 24th, 2017 at 1:40 PM ^
Disagree. The blow tells you to drink more.
August 24th, 2017 at 12:14 PM ^
A lot of people don't understand that drinking at high altitude will fuck you up. You should only drink about half of what you normally drink if you live near sea level.
August 24th, 2017 at 2:03 PM ^
I've drunk plenty at 8500+ in Colorado and never had a problem.

If so, the Lions may have a place for him.
(I'm hoping that the guy doesn't have a mental illness that would prevent me from finding this incident pretty damned funny. If he does, I hope he gets help. If he doesn't have a mental illness, you have to admire his pugnacity.)

I've been waiting for a Jim Bob Cooter joke.
August 24th, 2017 at 12:20 PM ^
Shit, please tell me this won't leave Will Cain hosting his show for the indefinite future. I was looking forward to Russillo coming back to hear about his thoughts on the Kyrie trade. His NBA takes are usually spot on.

...AND, this guy SURVIVED the firings, aka the The Great Purge of 2017 at ESPN. Please, just make the network go away, and something better will replace it (though this is not raising the bar very high).

I call this a neormal tuesday. Fakenews

They'll probably have Michael Smith or Jemele Hill fill in for him.
August 24th, 2017 at 1:01 PM ^
August 24th, 2017 at 1:24 PM ^
Indeed.

getting passed out drunk is still on the table ... er, I mean fine?
August 24th, 2017 at 5:43 PM ^
I'm not a drinker, so I relate more to the people that found him in their condo. That's not the way I want to meet minor celebrities.

not a regular listener, but it did kind of sound like this was a "finding yourself out west" trip for Rusillo.

The only ones left at ESPN are going to be Lee Corso and three mascot heads.
August 24th, 2017 at 1:15 PM ^
I'm not holier than thou, consume alcohol, am a nerd, and have never come close to this happening.
August 24th, 2017 at 1:44 PM ^
Maybe Galifianakis slipped a roofie in his beer?
August 24th, 2017 at 1:54 PM ^
Elevation and booze..it's real
August 24th, 2017 at 4:58 PM ^
Just spent a week in Crested Butte, CO. House we were staying in was at 10,000'. It's totally real.
August 24th, 2017 at 1:59 PM ^
he tried to get them off without taking off his shoes first, gave up, and then finally passed out.
August 24th, 2017 at 2:12 PM ^
.. into what was spinning into fine wild speculation?
August 24th, 2017 at 2:32 PM ^
August 24th, 2017 at 4:35 PM ^
But you're out of your element, Donny.

This holier-than-thou type has never done that. I have been awakened in the wrong campsite. Close?

Kanell n kept this douchebag. Wait
August 24th, 2017 at 7:45 PM ^
...at least you'll be able to find them in the morning.
