Former NFL reporter Dianna Russini got out of a ticket for texting and driving by letting the traffic cop FaceTime with the coach of his favorite football team, according to a new report.
The anecdote, which Russini shared on a podcast earlier this year, resurfaced in a New York Times article exploring her access to NFL insiders after she resigned from her $800,000-a-year job at The Athletic in April. Her resignation came after tabloid photos were published showing her holding hands and hugging head coach of the New England Patriots, Mike Vrabel at a luxury Arizona resort.
