Grete Griffin criticizes NFL for handling of Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini

Grete Griffin, the wife of Robert Griffin III, publicly questioned the professional double standards applied to New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel and former journalist Dianna Russini. Following a review by The Athletic into a disclosed relationship between the two, Russini resigned from her position at the publication. While the investigation determined the relationship violated journalistic standards, it found no evidence that Russini manipulated reporting to favor Vrabel or his teams. Grete Griffin argued that the disciplinary outcomes were disproportionate, as Russini faced significant career consequences while Vrabel remained as head coach. Vrabel stated he had no reaction to the review findings, noting that the team had moved on to focus on the football season. The NFL previously declined to launch an independent investigation into the coach regarding the matter.
