Mar 30, 2026; Phoenix, AZ, USA; New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel during the 2026 NFL Annual League Meeting at the Arizona Biltmore. Mandatory Credit: Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images Newly surfaced photos appear to show Mike Vrabel and Diana Russini kissing in a New York City bar back in 2020.
The New York Post’s Page Six published the photos Thursday, one day after the New England Patriots head coach announced that he will miss Day 3 of the NFL draft on Saturday to attend counseling.
The scandal began on April 7 when the Post published photos of Vrabel and Russini, then an NFL reporter for The Athletic, holding hands and hugging at a luxury resort in Sedona, Ariz.
The pictures published Thursday were supposedly taken at the Tribeca Tavern in the early hours of March 11, 2020 and appear to show the pair sitting close together at the bar and sharing a kiss. “They were kissing and they were all over each other. He had a ring on,” an eyewitness told Page Six.
At the time of the photos on March 11, 2020 — remembered as the day COVID-19 was officially declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization — Vrabel was coaching the Tennessee Titans and was already married to his current wife, while Russini was engaged to her current husband.
Vrabel, 50, gave a statement to the Post for Thursday’s story.
“As I said the other day, I promised my family, this organization and this team that I was going to give them the best version of me that I can possibly give them. In order to do so, I have committed to seeking counseling, starting this weekend. This is something that I have given a lot of thought to and is something I would advise a player to do if I was counseling them.
“I have always wanted to lead by example and I believe this is what I have to do to be the best husband, father and coach that I possibly can be,” Vrabel continued. “This is not an easy thing for me to admit, but it is one that I know will make me a better person. I appreciate the support that everyone has given me and promise a stronger resolve as a result.”
Vrabel will be with the Patriots on Thursday night when they make their first selection in the 2026 NFL Draft at No. 31 overall, and also when they choose players late in the second and third rounds on Friday. He will be absent for the last four rounds on Saturday.
Russini resigned from The Athletic last week amid an investigation by the New York Times-run organization into the nature of her relationship with Vrabel.
When the Arizona photos initially came out, Vrabel said the pictures “show a completely innocent interaction and any suggestion otherwise is laughable.”
Vrabel became the head coach of the Patriots — one of the teams for which he played — ahead of the 2025 season and guided New England to Super Bowl LX. The Seattle Seahawks defeated the Patriots 29-13.
Vrabel earned his second AP NFL Coach of the Year honor last season after winning the award in 2021 when he led the Titans. He was Tennessee’s head coach from 2018-23.

#Deadspin #Victor #Wembanyama #concussion #traveling #Spurs">Deadspin | Victor Wembanyama (concussion) traveling with Spurs
Apr 21, 2026; San Antonio, Texas, USA; San Antonio Spurs forward Victor Wembanyama (1) reacts after falling to the ground during the first half of game two of the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs against the Portland Trail Blazers at Frost Bank Center. Mandatory Credit: Scott Wachter-Imagn Images Victor Wembanyama will travel with the San Antonio Spurs to Portland for playoff games this weekend while going through the league’s concussion protocol.
Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said Thursday that the star center is “progressing” and has not been ruled out for Game 3 against the Trail Blazers on Friday night.
The best-of-seven first-round Western Conference Series is tied at 1-1 with Game 4 also in Portland on Sunday afternoon.
“He looks good,” Johnson said. “The update is that he is following each protocol, he’s progressing and he’ll travel with the team.”
“To my knowledge, we haven’t even had that discussion (about ruling Wembanyama out),” Johnson continued. “The protocol is the protocol. The league is who’s mostly at the top of that. We’ll just hope that he continues to progress. Whenever that timing is, that’s when it will be.
“We’ll just kind of keep going through the protocol, and hopefully he continues to progress. It’s pretty straightforward. So, obviously we hope he’ll be back at some point. But we’ll allow the protocol to play out. There’s nothing more important than his health.”
Wembanyama, the unanimous NBA Defensive Player of the Year, sustained the concussion during the Trail Blazers’ 106-103 win in San Antonio in Game 2 on Tuesday night.
He hit his face on the floor at near-full speed after being knocked off his feet during a drive to the basket with 8:57 remaining in the second period, with the contact leaving him dazed enough to struggle standing up before jogging off the floor to the locker room.
The Spurs had some success without their star this season. Wembanyama missed 18 games this season with various injuries, with San Antonio going 12-6 in those games.
The 7-foot-4 Wembanyama, 22, averaged 25.0 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists and a league-leading 3.1 blocks in 64 games (55 starts) in the regular season. He scored 35 points in San Antonio’s 111-98 win in Game 1 last Sunday but finished Tuesday’s loss with five points in 12 minutes.

#Deadspin #Austin #Reaves #cleared #oncourt #work #rejoin #Lakers #lineup #days">Deadspin | Austin Reaves cleared for on-court work, could rejoin Lakers’ lineup in 7-10 days
Apr 21, 2026; Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic (77) and guard Austin Reaves (15) look on from the bench in the first half of game two of the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs against the Houston Rockets at Crypto.com Arena. Mandatory Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images Austin Reaves is working out on the court and closing in on rejoining the Lakers’ lineup.
Reaves was cleared for the latest step in his progression of rehab from a Grade 2 oblique strain suffered on April 2 against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the same game in which Luka Doncic (hamstring) was injured. Doncic remains out and has not considered any plan to be in the lineup during the Lakers’ first-round playoff series with the Houston Rockets, ESPN reported.
But Reaves’ return could become feasible if the best-of-seven series lasts five or more games.
Los Angeles holds a 2-0 lead in the series. Because of multiple days off between games in this series, Game 5 is scheduled for April 29; Game 6 is May 1 and Game 7 would be played May 3, more than four weeks after Reaves’ initial injury.
Reaves was the second-leading scorer for the Lakers this season, averaging career bests of 23.3 points and 4.7 rebounds to go with 5.5 assists per game.
Doncic’s timeline is thought to be closer to six weeks than the four-week range for Reaves.
The next phase of upramp for Reaves would involve graduating to halfcourt 3-on-3 work and full-court activities including 5-on-5 scrimmaging.
