Last month, Dianna Russini made a big splash when she quit ESPN to become a writer and expert for The Athletic.

But it's clear that The Athletic really wanted her and was willing to spend a lot of money to get her. Russini, for her part, said that she felt limited in her job at ESPN and was ready to try something new.

Even though Russini praised King's status in the business and laughed with DA, she was still surprised that King went out of his way to tell her how well she was being paid by going to The Athletic.

Look, there were some parts of that article that made me feel a little confused." I know that Peter is a star and has done so well in life.

I was surprised that he took that approach, but... (laughs) I thought there was more to it than that.

But I know that in the media of 2023, the line he used about people getting paid well to cover such a famous sport is true.

I don't know where he got all of his numbers, but when my husband read that, the first thing he said was, "Did you not tell me something?
