A Spotify Playlist We Can’t Pause: The Dianna Russini And Mike Vrabel Scandal
Former NFL reporter Dianna Russini hits pause on her Spotify account after a playlist surfaces for “Mike” amid her scandal with Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel.
First, there were photos; now, a playlist to add to the pile of online evidence showing the married Russini and Vrabel in a not-so-loyal light.
Thanks to David Covucci of FOIAball, the online world is now aware of Russini’s playlist, titled “Turnin The Page,” that was shared with a user named Mike in December of 2022, which just so happens to coincide with a Tennessee Titans’ four-game losing streak. Vrabel was the Titans coach at the time, which, of course, makes social media users believe Russini made Vrabel this playlist to help him turn the page on his season.
This could all just be happenstance, but according to TMZ, the playlist includes songs Vrabel is known to play at practice.
The 15-song playlist starts out with “Cuff It” by Beyonce, followed by an array of genres including hits from Latto, Sam Hunt, Def Leopard, and KISS, among others.
If those artists sound good to you, unfortunately, Russini has scrubbed her entire Spotify profile after “Turnin The Page” went public and the “Mike” in question has now changed his profile name to “Tycar” — which, it can be argued, might be a combo of Vrabel’s two sons named Tyler and Carter.
The drama surrounding the former writer for The Athletic and current Patriots coach has exploded in recent weeks after cozy photos surfaced of the two this past March at a romantic resort in Arizona.
More bombshell photos released by Page Six showed the two kissing more than six years ago in New York.

In the wake of the scandal, Russini resigned from The Athletic on April 14 and Vrabel said he would seek counseling, even missing Day 3 of the NFL Draft to prioritize family.
“My previous actions don’t meet the standard that I hold myself to,” Vrabel said ahead of the draft. “They don’t. And what I believe is best for the two most important things in my life, my family and this football team, is for us to take the necessary steps together and to give them what I told them I’d give them, which is the best version of me. And that’s what we’re going to do. And that’s going to start, and that has started, and that’ll continue this weekend, and it’ll continue for however long it takes for me to give them and to complete that promise of giving them the best version of me possible.”
Vrabel returned to the Patriots Monday after taking Saturday and Sunday off to attend the counseling he vowed to. During the draft last week, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell told ESPN that the coach’s situation does not fall under the NFL’s personal conduct policy and is instead a team matter.
Despite the public statements by Vrabel promising to be better for his family, neither he nor Russini have confessed to any kind of romantic affair.
