Two Boston radio hosts at WEEI, Andy Hart and Nick Stevens, were fired after speaking out about photos showing Patriots coach Mike Vrabel and NFL reporter Dianna Russini together. Russini resigned from The Athletic and Vrabel is skipping part of the NFL Draft to attend counseling, indicating the scandal is real and significant in sports media circles. The timing of the firings has raised questions about whether the hosts were punished for their coverage of the controversy rather than other business reasons, though the article itself doesn't establish causation directly.
