Not every headline is bad for Mike Vrabel this week — the New England Patriots coach was just named the most influential Bostonian!!
Deadlines are a bitch, huh?
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Boston Magazine revealed the cover for its May issue on Tuesday … and lo and behold, the guy at the center of a massive scandal with NFL insider Dianna Russini is plastered all over it — smiling from ear to ear alongside his star quarterback, Drake Maye.
The feature highlighted the duo’s massive success in 2025 — breathing new life into a franchise that dealt with rare struggle in recent years and reaching the Super Bowl.
There’s no mention of Vrabel’s recent personal matters … so we’re assuming this article was filed weeks ago. Either that, or the mag is simply sticking to football.
Folks were quick to hit the comment section … pointing out the timing couldn’t be more ironic.
Vrabel left the Pats during Day 3 of the NFL draft to seek “counseling” … previously telling the media he wasn’t living up to his own standard.
He has yet to speak on specifics of his relationship with Russini … but the reporter has since resigned from her job with The Athletic.
As for Maye … well deserved. The guy almost won MVP.
