    Dianna Russini is READY to Talk | Stefon Diggs Case Begins | NBA Game 2 Picks

    The Patriots are bracing for Dianna Russini to tell her side of the story — and Vrabel's job could be on the line depending on what she says. Stefon Diggs is in court for allegedly assaulting his chef and the Patriots already cut him — will he ever play again? And Grant and Tanner lock in their Game 2 picks — both backing the Sixers to bounce back against the Knicks and the Spurs to win a close one against Minnesota. PATRIOTS BRACE FOR RUSSINI TO SPEAK After weeks of the story developing from the outside, Russini may be about to tell her own version of events. Grant and Tanner break down what details could emerge, why New England is reportedly in preparation mode, and whether there's a version of this story that ends Vrabel's tenure before he coaches a single regular season game. STEFON DIGGS IN COURT Diggs is facing assault allegations involving his personal chef — with whom he allegedly had a sexual relationship. The Patriots cut him immediately. Grant and Tanner break down the legal situation, the NFL's likely response, and whether a 33-year-old receiver coming off a serious knee injury with an active legal case ever plays another NFL snap. GAME 2 PICKS — SIXERS AND SPURS BOUNCE BACK Getting blown out in Game 1 doesn't end a series. Grant and Tanner both like the Sixers to respond against the Knicks and the Spurs to win a close Game 2 against a shorthanded Minnesota team. Full breakdowns and full picks before tip-off.  Send us Fan Mail FOLLOW US ON: YouTube- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBN4zGZtlyfETCNE6hi1zGQ Twitter - https://twitter.com/WSNsports Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/worldsportsnetwork Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/wsn_worldsportsnetwork/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@worldsportsnetwork

    Mike Vrabel Gets a Standing Ovation | Shilo Sanders Defends Shedeur | Nuggets are Headed Home

    Mike Vrabel gets a standing ovation at a Patriots event, Drake Maye rallies behind his coach, and the story of Russini pulling a man from a crashed car may not be true. Shilo Sanders calls out a Browns reporter over Shedeur coverage and Grant and Tanner debate whether Watson should start. And the Nuggets get eliminated by a shorthanded Timberwolves team while Jokic escapes the criticism every other all-time great would face - plus Game 7 predictions for Celtics-Sixers. Packed episode.  VRABEL GETS A STANDING OVATION The Patriots are rallying around their coach. Drake Maye went on record saying the team is behind Vrabel amid the Russini scandal. Meanwhile the story of Russini pulling a man from a crashed car may not have happened the way it was reported — and somehow this entire situation has a comedic connection to a JP Morgan scandal. Grant and Tanner break down every new development.  SHILO SANDERS CALLS OUT THE BROWNS MEDIA Shilo went public over what he sees as unfair negative coverage of Shedeur in Cleveland. Grant and Tanner assess whether he has a point, make the case for whether Deshaun Watson should be the week one starter, and map out what Shedeur's realistic future in Cleveland actually looks like.  NUGGETS ELIMINATED - AND NOBODY BLAMES JOKIC  Minnesota was missing three players including Anthony Edwards and still sent Denver home. Grant and Tanner ask why Jokic gets a pass that LeBron, Kobe, and other all-time greats never received after a first round exit — and make their Game 7 predictions for Celtics-Sixers.

    Mike Vrabel goes to counseling after a six-year affair with Diana Russini is exposed — and the question of whether he keeps his job is no longer hypothetical. Brendan Sorsby checks into rehab after placing thousands of bets including on his own team, with $5 million and his eligibility on the line. And Ty Simpson had secret meetings with Sean McVay before the draft — so why did McVay look so pissed when the Rams took him 13th? Grant and Tanner cover it all. VRABEL AND RUSSINI — SIX YEARS This wasn't a fling. Six years of a secret relationship between one of the NFL's most prominent coaches and one of its most prominent reporters reframes everything.

BRENDAN SORSBY CHECKS INTO REHAB The top player in the transfer portal was set to make $5 million at Texas Tech. Now he's in rehab after placing thousands of bets — including allegedly on his own team to win while at Indiana. Grant and Tanner break down the eligibility implications, what happens to the Texas Tech deal, and whether he ever plays college football again. TY SIMPSON AND THE McVAY MYSTERY Secret pre-draft meetings with Sean McVay. A 13th overall pick. And a head coach who looked genuinely pissed when the card was turned in. Grant and Tanner break down what the secret meetings actually mean, whose call this pick really was, and how long Simpson sits behind Stafford before things get complicated in LA.

    Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel are in LOVE?! | AJ Brown Trade Talk | Who will Win the Super Bowl?

    Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel are making headlines for all the wrong reasons. AJ Brown's trade situation is heating up and the Patriots might be his best landing spot. And Grant asks the question nobody wants to answer — is betting Mahomes, Allen, Jackson, or Burrow to win the Super Bowl actually smarter than just taking the field? RUSSINI AND VRABEL DRAMA Photos emerged of the NFL's most prominent reporter and the Patriots' new head coach holding hands at a resort. Grant breaks down the story, the conflict of interest questions, and what it means for both of their professional reputations going forward. AJ BROWN TRADE TALK The chances of a trade are real — and the Patriots remain the most logical landing spot for one of the best receivers in football. But agreeing on compensation is going to be harder than anyone thinks. Grant breaks down every angle including whether New England actually needs him to build around Drake Maye. MAHOMES, ALLEN, JACKSON, BURROW — OR THE FIELD? The NFL has never had more parity. Recent Super Bowl champions have proven you don't necessarily need a transcendent quarterback to win it all. Grant makes the case for and against betting the big four and gives his honest take on where the smart money actually lies. Drop your thoughts below!
