UPDATE: Dianna Russini Revealed She's "Seen The Memes" & Thinks "You Guys Are Really Funny" But Otherwise Did NOT Address The Mike Vrabel Scandal During Her 1st Comeback Show. BRAVE!
The Russini Rabbit Hole really is the gift that keeps on giving huh? Pageviews City! If you missed the start of her 1st "livestream" back from the shadows, Jerry covered that above. Lots of technical issues and overloaded servers apparently. Ended up being delayed around 69 minutes. Very Barstool SPORTS of her really. Like battery acid in your mouth. Not unlike the replies she got on her 1st comeback tweet yesterday. Knew those trolls wouldn't miss a 50 year storm.
But Old Balls' blog went live this afternoon while she was still on the air creating #content. So there are some new worthwhile nuggets to add to this bucket o' slop. And although she did NOT address the Mike Vrabel drama in any meaningful way, or give any sort of apology, or show even the slightest ounce of remorse for allegedly doing unethical Big BJ journalism & embarrassing her entire family for months in the process...
Credit where it's due she IS running the Wing-T halfback dive to perfection this week. Just keep on falling forward for 3.3 yards at a time and act like nothing happened on the previous possession. Never stop pounding that fuckin' rock right up the A-gap. Best on best. Smashmouth football.
"Over the last few months, I have had a lot of time to think about my life and my priorities and the person I want to be moving forward. Being home in New Jersey with my husband and our two little boys and being truly present, it gave me so much
perspective that I didn't even know I needed… Anyone who knows me knows, I have always been obsessed with the NFL but maybe because I wasn't around it so much the last few months, my passion for covering this league [the NFL] has NEVER been stronger. I'm so grateful for this chance to do it again"

Good stuff. Mike Alstott would be proud. And speaking of huge hulking Michaels, there was a slight reference to Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel to kick off the show. Just nothing serious about the subject. Fun jokes for the hole WHOLE family!
“Yeah, a lot of them, a lot of memes out there, D, thank you for reminding me. I will say though, I do think that the AI version of me is, it’s like an LA 10. That is the way I want to look. My nose is small, my forehead is only like three fingers, you know, I’m like, this is what I want to look like"
“I gotta tell you, my favorite one is the Tiny Desk. I mean, to have Vrabel & the Patriots playing ‘Outstanding’ and the big reveal being you on sax is AMAZING. That to me was peak apex Dianna Russini and this whole thing with the memes"
“It was miserable, but the joke I had with it is that I actually play the saxophone!"

Peak apex Russini indeed. But hey, I ain't mad at her! Honestly pretty great for me that she seems holy wholly unwilling to take any responsibility for her role in all this. Just means more clicks for me covering these new Big J journalism efforts from her. Plus every game the Patriots lose moving forward will only make the scab of this scandal grow even more. Delicious.

Giphy Images.And brother, people WILL be picking at that gaping wound nonstop. So don't shoot the messenger here. I'm merely delivering the news & using her only Getty pictures available for engaging thumbnails. Also she is absolutely correct as well, the memes are hilarious. Here's some of those to close this out. To end the show. Welcome back D!
