Dianna Russini has resigned from her job at the Athletic after Page Six published photos of her at a luxury hotel with New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel.
The veteran NFL reporter shared the news in a letter to Athletic Executive Editor Steven Ginsberg, obtained by Page Six.
“I have covered the NFL with professionalism and dedication throughout my career, and I stand behind every story I have ever published,” the letter said. “When the Page Six item first appeared, The Athletic supported me unequivocally, expressed confidence in my work and pride in my journalism. For that I am grateful.”

What is it with these Patriots coaches?
And don’t forget the owner... Visiting strip malls to find cheap massages with happy endings when you’re a billionaire, is akin to Tiger Woods and Jim Irsay driving drunk and stoned, when they could easily afford a chauffer driven limousine or at the very least a cab.
Why are rich people so dumb?
Looks like she made her own Shake Shack.
So 2 adults seen together without their spouses around, enjoying each others company.
OMG!!!! get the gallows pole
OMG!!!! get the gallows pole
Led Zeppelin III, good album.
LOL- if that were only the case...this has been a consistent pattern of behavior for her, the past 12 years...
No- GREAT album....
“Seesaw- knock on my door!!”
My favorite Zep song of all time is on that album- Out on the Tiles...
Not the point. Quid pro quo relationship. That would be allegedly sex for stories. Vrabel is actually more to blame for the situation than she is. She in a manner of speaking prostituted herself. He took advantage of that situation in a position of power. All of this of course allegedly. But she doesn’t resign if there was even a shred of her story that was true.
Wiki sez Dianna is married to Kevin Goldschmidt. Could be a problem.
LOL. Russini is in her 40s and Vrabel is 50 I think. So at least it isn't as bad as Belichick and his, uh, embarrassing, great-granddaughter-aged girlfriend.
This is a free country. Everyone is free to sleep with anyone they want, without public criticism.
You can sleep with whomever you want, doesn’t make one immune from the consequences of their actions.
Patriot missiles?
I’ll let myself out...
Yes, you should...LOL!
“this is a free country. Everyone is free to sleep with anyone they want, without public criticism.”
And WITH public criticism..
You're just jealous.....
Poor “Eve”, now banished from the Garden of Eden & it’s Earthly Delights, while “Adam” remains, his work schedule only barely disrupted.
Love “Over The Hills And Far Away”.
Vrabel’s turnaround of the Patriots was pretty impressive.
Because they don’t want people know where it is they’re going. I had a friend who worked for a multi-millionaire but he refused to drive because of the insurance liability.
