The Pittsburgh Steelers held their first padded practice of the year on Monday, but what happened afterwards will be talked about just as much as what took place on the field.
With The Pat McAfee Show in Latrobe, Aaron Rodgers appeared on set following practice. During his appearance, the four-time MVP quarterback took aim at NFL reporter Dianna Russini.
“You have literally an individual that maybe used to work at ESPN, that covers our league at the highest level,” Rodgers said. “And there’s a major
scandal. And it’s just like nobody can f—king talk about it? What are we even doing here?… if it’s effecting certain things, if there’s leaks going on, if there’s tampering going on. If that person is also an MVP voter and a Coach of the Year voter… that’s real life…”
Russini resigned from her position at The Athletic after photos were leaked of her and New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel together on what appeared to be a private getaway. Photos continued to surface as the apparent relationship between the reporter and coach led to Vrabel taking time away from the team during the NFL Draft.
