Former NFL insider Dianna Russini was back in the spotlight this week after a New York Times article highlighted an incident when she was pulled over by police in January for texting and driving and called an NFL coach to help get her out of a ticket. Russini — who resigned from The Athletic after her and Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel’s photo scandal broke in April — is currently under review by her former employer to determine if her reporting was influenced by her relationship with Vrabel. During a February appearance on the “Stugotz and Company” podcast, Russini recalled “making a nasty play” by using her NFL connections to help her get out of a ticket — adding that it was the second time in a month she was pulled over with her kids in the car.
