NFL Reporter Offered New Job After Cheating Scandal

NFL reporter Dianna Russini has a landing spot if she wants it. After leaving The Athletic amid fallout from photos with New England Patriots Coach Mike Vrabel, podcaster Jon Weiner said she has an open invitation to join his outfit whenever she wants. “If Dianna Russini decides one day, three months from now, a year from now, two years from now, that she wants to get back into this game, she has a place right here,” Weiner said on his podcast, Stugotz & Company Friday. He added, “I’m not a journalist, I’m a talk show host. And when my real friends fall on difficult times, I like to support them, talk to them, and be someone who listens.” Page Six released photos of the duo, both married to other people, hugging and holding hands in late March at the Ambiente Resort in Sedona. Russini resigned from her role after the release of these photos, and The Athletic announced it would review her reporting. A few weeks later, images surfaced of the two kissing in a shadowy Tribeca bar in March of 2020. Russini deactivated her social media accounts following the release, and Vrabel said he’s seeking therapy and has had some “difficult conversations” with people he cares about.
