NFL insider Dianna Russini’s new show is off to a rough start.
Well, it didn’t actually start because it appeared the BetUS website crashed at noon, the premiere time of “The Russini Report” on Wednesday.
A message that read, “Sorry we’ll be back soon. Please try again later” was shown on the website.

Russini returned to sports media after her and Patriots coach Mike Vrabel’s photo scandal broke in March and led to her resigning from The Athletic.
The former ESPNer officially announced her new show in an interview with People on Monday, where she spoke publicly about the scandal for the first time.
Russini opened up on “the nightmare” aftermath of the situation and explained that her husband, Kevin Goldschmidt, a Shake Shack executive, was her biggest supporter.
She did not name Vrabel, nor did she address allegations that she and the coach, who is married, had an affair.
“The best way to describe what the last six months were like for me is heartbreaking,” Russini said. “At the beginning of this, it was a nightmare.”

The New Jersey native explained that she and her family stopped following the news cycle about a month after she resigned from The Athletic in April.
“The lies became so out of control,” Russini said. “This was a runaway train, and there was nothing I could do to stop it. Once we realized nothing was going to stop this, it became unhealthy for us to read it because it wasn’t helping us heal. It was piling on and adding to what we were already dealing with.”
Russini and Goldschmidt have been married for six years and share two young sons.
Page Six broke the story and published photos on April 7 showing Russini and Vrabel holding hands while at a resort in Arizona in March.
The outlet published more photos of them together at Tribeca Tavern in the early hours of March 11, 2020.
The Patriots supported Vrabel in the aftermath of the photos being released, and he missed Day 3 of the NFL Draft to seek counseling with his family.
Vrabel — married to his wife Jen since 1999 — told reporters at the time that he had difficult, candid and productive conversations with his family, and he did not elaborate.
The pair have two sons.
