Bill Simmons’ new venture has been kept well under wraps, but we are finally starting to see it take shape and it has a name. Simmons took to his Twitter page on Wednesday morning to announce that his new website is named “The Ringer,” and the social channels are ready to roll. You can follow The Ringer’s Facebook page HERE, the Twitter account HERE, and their Instagram page HERE. The Ringer is set to debut sometime later this year, and NBA fans are hoping that it gets up and running sometime in the beginning of June.
As of now the new Simmons roster features former colleagues of Bill’s: Bryan Curtis, Danny Chau, Riley McAtee, Craig Gaines, Ryan O’Hanlon and Joe Fuentes. There will be more hires and announcements coming soon.
