San Francisco - Dianna Russini, once a prominent NFL insider at The Athletic, may soon return to sports media. Five months after leaving The Athletic, Russini is "absolutely" planning a return, according to a report by Front Office Sports. Among the potential employers, Barstool Sports has emerged as the leading candidate. Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports, has already expressed his willingness to hire Russini, calling it a "no-brainer."
Russini has an established relationship with Barstool, particularly with "Pardon My Take" hosts Dan "Big Cat" Katz and PFT Commenter. However, Russini has not yet signed with Barstool, and her final decision remains undecided. The timing could be significant, as the NFL regular season is about to commence, and Russini's return would put her back in the football conversation just as the league gains prominence.
