  "account": "The Athletic released an internal investigation into former NFL reporter Dianna Russini on September 3, revealing she failed to disclose her conflict of interest due to her relationship with New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel. Vrabel was asked about The Athletic's findings during a news conference and stated, \"No, I don’t have any reaction. We're moved on and focused on Seattle and focused on the Patriots and focused on getting better this week.\" Russini resigned from The Athletic shortly after the photos of her with Vrabel were published, as The Athletic's investigation stated the photographs indicated a relationship that jeopardized their credibility and created a conflict of interest.",
