The road to the 2026 NFL season continues, with all 32 teams now knowing when they will face their opponents this year following the release of the new league schedule.
The schedule release has become an event in and of itself, with every franchise vying to produce the best video content to announce when they will play their 2026 slate of games. Naturally, with the drama surrounding Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel this offseason, it was questionable whether the scandal involving the pair would make the schedule release videos.
However, the Los Angeles Chargers emphatically answered that question by lacing their schedule release videos with subtle references to Vrabel and Russini. Meanwhile, Russini is said to be weighing up options to give a tell-all interview on the rumored affair.

Dianna Russini left fuming
Dianna Russini's dominance of the NFL's offseason headlines has led to the resurfacing of comments and admissions she has made about the league, including once admitting she was left furious after being asked a question about ex-Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
Last month, Russini and New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel were spotted holding hands and hugging at an adult-only resort in Sedona, Arizona. While both parties, who are married to other individuals, deny any wrongdoing, more has since come to light about their relationship, making Russini and Vrabel arguably the biggest talking point of the 2026 NFL offseason.
The former Athletic insider was spotted with her husband, Kevin Goldschmidt, on Mother's Day.

The pair share two children together, with Russini once admitting during an appearance on 'The Pat McAfee Show' that she was left incensed by a question about Roethlisberger while giving birth to one of her kids. Russini said: "The man that delivered my baby is a big Steelers fan. He knows what I do for a living, and we had to take a couple of breaks because I was getting tired.
"So it’s quiet in the hospital, and my doctor just goes, 'You think Ben [Roethlisberger] would ever come back?' I go, 'What?'
"He is like, 'You know, like Big Ben.' I go, 'Are you doing this to calm me? Because you are pissing me off.' He goes, 'So it’s a no.'"
