NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Compromising photos involving Patriots coach Mike Vrabel and New York Times reporter Dianna Russini were shopped to media outlets before being published by the New York Post.
- An anonymous tipster, not affiliated with known paparazzi or photo agencies, approached TMZ seeking a four-figure sum for the photos.
- Both Vrabel and Russini denied any improper conduct depicted in the photos, though inconsistencies exist between their statements, the images, and the Post's reporting.
- Russini's attempt to address the situation on Twitter was met with significant negative reactions, while the Patriots have remained silent on the matter.
- Vrabel is unlikely to speak to reporters about the issue until routine press conferences around the NFL draft.
