The Mike Vrabel-Dianna Russini scandal has reached NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
On Thursday, several new photos showing Russini and Vrabel, who are both married to other people, kissing six years ago, were leaked by the NY Post.

As seen in exclusive new pics obtained by Page Six, the New England Patriots coach and the NFL reporter were spotted together inside the dimly lit Tribeca Tavern in the early hours of March 11, 2020.
They sat close to each other while conversing at the bar, at one point appearing to share a kiss.
“They were kissing and they were all over each other,” an eyewitness told Page Six. “He had a ring on.”
Hours before the NFL draft, Vrabel addressed the leaked pics during a media interview.
“I take accountability for my actions and the actions that caused a distraction to the people that I care most about: my family, football team, the organization and our fans. . . . my family needs me this weekend and that’s where I’ll be,” Vrabel said.
On ESPN, Goodell was awkwardly asked about the Vrabel-Russini scandal and if the NFL would investigate the Pats’ head coach.
“This is not a personal conduct policy… It’s a personal matter, and we’ll leave it at that… I think the teams handle these matters when they’re personal matters…”
Mike Greenberg asked Roger Goodell about Mike Vrabel ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft on ESPN.

As of now it doesn’t appear that the NFL will investigate Vrabel over his actions.
