Update to the New England Patriots media schedule: Mike Vrabel is expected to address reporters prior to the start of tonight’s NFL draft at approximately 7:20 or 7:30 p.m. in the media workroom.
This is crazy timing, especially when the Patriots said that Vrabel would not be at the NFL Draft on Day 3. Today a report from Page Six, newly obtained photos show Vrabel and NFL reporter Dianna Russini together at a secluded New York City bar, Tribeca Tavern, in March of 2020. The images and eyewitness accounts describe a notably intimate interaction, with the two sitting close, engaging in animated conversation, and at one point appearing to share a kiss.
An eyewitness claimed the pair were “all over each other,” adding that Vrabel was wearing a wedding ring at the time. That detail stands out given that Vrabel was already married to his wife, Jen, while Russini would go on to marry Kevin Goldschmidt just six months later. Both individuals now have families, each with two children.
This is crazy, but this is giving the Patriots a really bad image in the news.
