It's hard to imagine a crazier week than the oneDianna Russinihas had.
Russini broke the sports internet when suggestive photos surfaced of her andNew England Patriotshead coachMike Vrabelat a luxury hotel in Sedona, Arizona. Those photos set off a firestorm of speculation, questions, and obvious issues around journalistic objectivity, considering her role atThe Athletic.
After initially backing her,The Athleticannounced they were going to investigate Russini's behavior. Shortly after that announcement, Russini resigned while rejecting the "narrative" she said had been "constructed" around the incident.

TheNew York Post'sPage Sixreported on Friday evening that Russini "mounted a daring rescue of an elderly man and his dog from an overturned Jeep."
The accident occurred around 5 p.m. Wednesday, when, per local New Jersey outletPatch, a 17-year-old in a Honda Civic collided with a Jeep when making a turn, which flipped the SUV onto its side. In a sign of the severity of the accident, the Jeep's position reportedly trapped the 73-year-old man and his dog inside.
Page Six spoke to an eyewitness, who said Russini was "driving along the same road as the Jeep, and the accident happened right in front of her car."
"She ran out and had a tall man put her on top of the Jeep to open the door, and she and the other guy pulled the driver and his dog out of the Jeep," said the eyewitness. Local police arrived soon afterward.
