Dianna Russini returns to sports media with NFL betting show
According to the Guardian, former NFL insider Dianna Russini announced her return to sports media with a weekly one-hour show titled 'The Russini Report'. The program, backed by the offshore sportsbook BetUS, will feature game analysis and interviews. Russini resigned from The Athletic in April 2026 following the publication of photos showing her with New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel at an Arizona resort. While an internal investigation by The Athletic found no bias in her reporting, it concluded that her relationship with Vrabel violated newsroom standards. In comments to People magazine, Russini described the past six months as 'heartbreaking' and stated that she would adopt a different, more empathetic approach to her storytelling in her new role.
