"Scum gravitates to scum": NFL world erupts after Dave Portnoy says hiring Dianna Russini at Barstool Sports is a total "no-brainer"

Dave Portnoy publicly stated he would hire Dianna Russini at Barstool Sports without hesitation, calling it a "no-brainer" in an Us Weekly interview. Russini has been unemployed since resigning from The Athletic in April amid the Mike Vrabel scandal, where she was earning nearly $800,000 annually. While Portnoy argues a personal affair shouldn't end a professional career, his Barstool colleague Dan "Big Cat" Katz isn't sure she'd even want the job, given how the site has handled the story publicly.
