ESPN’s Ryen Russillo and WEEI’s John Dennis Nearly Got in a Fight at the ESPN Super Bowl Party

All, Media Gossip/Musings, Twitter Jason McIntyre February 4th. 2012, 5:49pm

At ESPN’s Super Bowl party last night in Indianapolis, apparently Massachusetts boys Ryen Russillo (ESPN) and John Dennis (WEEI) nearly started the fight they should have had seven years ago.

The 2005 backstory: Allegedly, Russillo was at a party in Boston and is rumored to have hit on a female. This female was the daughter of John Dennis. Naturally, Dennis wasn’t too thrilled – it’s unknown what else Russillo may have said – but he ended up leaving Russillo an expletive-filled voicemail (listen here). You can read more about the incident here and here.

According to someone who was at the ESPN party Friday night, the two ran into each other again, words were exchanged, and they nearly came to blows. You know these mouthy types from Boston – it was probably just a lot of talk. But Russillo apparently still wants a piece of the old man – he’s been tweeting at him this afternoon and would love to get in the ring with him “for charity.” Dennis is lobbing love notes right back.

This John Dennis guy just looks like a dick with ears. I hope Rusillo closed the deal with his daughter. Kind of surprised none the less, Rusillo seems like a pretty reserved guy. Shit happens when you get 2 Massholes in closed quarters I guess.

John Dennis sounds like a classic delusional jackass who thinks he’s “big time.”

For those of you who have daughters at the age of consent, I’ll bet you can relate to Dennis. Regardless of your position on his positions, daddies get crazy when guys are hitting on their “baby girls”.

What’s with this “nearly came to blows” bullshit? If you want to fight, just fight. I think people would be lot more civil towards each other if bystanders never, ever got involved when two “bros” decided to have a “bro-down”. People act like jackass with impunity knowing full well that others will eventually jump in and separate the warring parties. But if douchebags knew for a fact that no one would ever step in and stop the fight when they are getting their heads kicked in, maybe these idiots wouldn’t act so damn tough in public.
Bottom line, let natural selection take its course and just sit back and watch as two “bros” tear into each other. If you’re lucky, maybe one douche will kill the other and world will have one less douche.

Dennis lives in my hometown and I am around the same age as his daughter. Without getting into much detail, this is pretty consistent with what I’ve heard about him. He’d be a dbag in any city.

the pussiest move of all pussy moves is to offer to fight someone “for charity”. really bummed russillo resorted to that.
he should have told dennis to make a move, and then beat the old fucker down.

I think the funniest part of all of this is Dennis taking shots at Rusillo’s drinking habits. Pot, meet kettle.
Dennis and Callahan used to own Boston radio until Sports Hub came along, and mopped the floor with WEEI. Would love to hear what dredged this up.

I wish Russillo pummeled John Dennis mercilessly – all he had to do was swing and he wouldn’t miss Dennis’ huge squash (it’s the size of a refrigerator).

Medium-sized city douchbaggery (Boston, Philly) has a more pathetic feel to it than big-city douchbaggry (NY, LA).
