If you'll notice nearly everything he talks about is in relation to their podcasts, not the long form articles. There was a businessweek article a few weeks back that says The Ringer makes nearly (or perhaps all) of its money on podcasts. I'm not sure it's fair to compare The Ringer or Grantland to other sports journalism websites because The Ringer is a podcast company that happens to also write some articles.
