The Cuck Strikes Back

An unexpected twist to the Russini-Vrabel saga

A number of people in the sports media were noticing that the pictures of the New England head coach and the former writer for The Athletic were sold very cheaply to TMZ considering how viral and valuable they’ve proven to be, and wondering if they might have been taken by a private investigator hired by one of the rival NFL teams looking in order to undermine the advantage the Patriots were enjoying by having special access to a leading NFL insider.

The primary suspects were the Philadelphia Eagles, as Russini published a story about Eagles wide receiver AJ Brown that tended to reduce his trade value right around the time it was reported that the Patriots were the leading candidates to trade for him.

However, it’s now reported that while the photos were taken by a private investigator, the PI was not hired by an NFL team, but by Russini’s husband, presumably in preparation for a divorce filing.

A source close to Dianna Russini tells me that they believe Dianna and Vrabel were caught by a PI and that the PI was hired by Dianna's husband.

Apparently he’s less of a Delta pushover than we assumed he was. Given that he’s pretty well-off, documenting her adultery would be important in both protecting his assets and improving his legal position. And stripping her of her professional reputation while exposing her lack of character to the entire world in one fell swoop smacks of a strategic mind at work.

There are a lot of important lessons to be learned from this affair, and the most important is probably this: never marry a woman who doesn’t proudly take your last name.
