Patriots head coach Mike Rabel just spoke to reporters ahead of the 2026 NFL draft, explaining he downplayed those early photos, with Diana Rossini to shield his family from the spotlight. He stepping away for a three-day counseling session this weekend, missing parts of the draft, and says he might skip more football events if needed. He's stress-putting family before the job, owning up to his actions without diving into details. People wants to deliver his best self to his wife, kids, team, and the organization, calling this the right move to lead by example. The drama kicked off nearly two weeks back, when photos dropped of him and Rossini getting close at an Arizona hotel resort. Both brush it off at first as innocent group hangs with reporters and sources, nothing more. Then a 2020 photo resurfaced showing them extra cozy at a bar, but neither has commented on that one publicly. In 2043, quit her gig at the athletic early this month to dodge the media storm before their probe wrapped, saying she won't let the rumours derail her career.

Rabel trusts Patriots crew to handle things while he sorts this out and comes back stronger. That wraps Durham news today, brought to you with AI.
