Dianna Russini’s shocking new employer revealed with show set to launch

Dianna Russini appears to be preparing a return to sports media with a new pro-football show, reportedly sponsored by offshore sportsbook BetUS. The move matters because a betting sponsor could affect her standing and access in an NFL that has campaigned against illegal sports betting.

An X account called @RussiniReport describes the programme as covering pro-football news, injuries and analysis, with live episodes on Wednesdays at noon Eastern time. The article says Kalshi, FanDuel, PrizePicks and Barstool Sports are not involved. Russini resigned from The Athletic after an investigation by The New York Times found her relationship with NFL coach Mike Vrabel was inappropriate; she has denied an affair.
