Ryan wouldn’t be in trouble if he’d just slept with her and moved on, but he’s never been a fan of one-and-dones.

My guess: Miller paints it as ESPN management vs. Bill Simmons, with the Grantland staff as loyal supporters of Bill, while Holly is saying the staff is a third and separate camp that just wanted to continue to do good work, with or without Bill. They’re the ones who lost the most in all this.
