About Bryan Curtis

By Peter Hailey

Bryan Curtis grew up in Fort Worth, Texas before attending the University of Texas.

Upon graduation, Curtis got his start as a reporter-researcher in 2000, helping the Washington, D.C. publication, Slate, cover the 2000 presidential election.

Curtis’ major breakthrough came after a five-year stint at Slate, when he was tabbed to be the media writer for Play, a quarterly sports magazine of the prestigious New York Times.

Shortly thereafter, Curtis would begin working at Grantland where he became a go-to voice on sports, politics, movie reviews and, like before, the media.

When Grantland was shut down in 2015 – much to the chagrin of its devoted readers – Curtis stuck with Simmons, and was named editor-at-large at Simmons’ new website, The Ringer, in February 2016.
