NFL reporter Russini resigns amid ‘self-feeding speculation’ over photos with Patriots’ Vrabel

Media | The Guardian · Guardian sport and agencies · last updated

NFL reporter Dianna Russini has resigned from The Athletic less than a week after photos of her and New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel prompted an internal investigation at The New York Times-owned sports outlet.

The New York Post last week published the photos of Vrabel and Russini at an Arizona resort and said they were taken before the NFL owners meetings that began in Phoenix on 29 March.
