Mike Vrabel has gone to cancel and is back to work, but it seems like he’s not going to be able to escape the Dianna Russini scandal.
Last week, Vrabel announced that he was going to skip day 3 of the NFL draft on Saturday to seek counseling after the NY Post released photos of him cheating on his wife with Russini.
“I’ve had some difficult conversations with people I care about about — with my family, the organization, the coaches, the players. Those have been positive and productive. To be successful on and off the field, you have to make good decisions. That includes me. That starts with me.”
‘What I can promise you is that my family, this organization, the team, the staff, the coaches, everybody, our fans most importantly, will get the best version of me going forward.’
While leaving a Utah airport over the weekend, Vrabel was hounded by a photographer who asked him uncomfortable questions about his alleged affair with Russini. The photographer followed Vrabel from the airport concourse to his car. Vrabel refused to answer any of the photographer’s questions.
