Dianna Russini Announces Return to Sports Media

Dianna Russini described the past six months as heartbreaking and said the aftermath of the photo scandal involving New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel had initially felt like a nightmare. The scandal broke in March and led to her resignation from The Athletic. On November 9, she discussed the experience and said her husband, Kevin Goldschmidt, supported her through it.

Russini is returning with The Russini Report, a one-hour program set to air through BetUS TV’s online platform and X profile starting November 11, 2026, at 12 p.m. Eastern. She will also write a column to accompany the show.

She will additionally appear as a regular guest on the Nobody’s Safe podcast, hosted by Jon Weiner, known as Stugotz. Russini said Weiner had been a loyal friend at a time when she felt people were enjoying seeing her career unravel.

Russini also said she received support from people across the NFL, including franchise proprietors, player representatives, front-office executives, sideline leaders, and athletes. She noted that some of the players who supported her were star quarterbacks.
