Inside the NBA on Sunday night poked fun at Dianna Russini and New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel with a graphic showing the pair embracing, Titanic-style.
The day before, the Boston Celtics lost to the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 7 of their first-round playoff series. The 76ers pulled off a historic series comeback after trailing 3-1, and will face the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
When a teamâs season comes to a close in the playoffs, Inside the NBA honors the occasion with a âgone fishingâ graphic. The image typically features the players on a fishing boat and other visuals relevant to the team or city. For the Celtics image, Vrabel and Russini were pictured on the bow of the ship doing the iconic Titanic pose.
âYou guys areâŠâ Charles Barkley said as he noticed the two at the end of the ship.
Kenny Smith asked who the two people were and said he didnât know them. Barkley wasnât amused by the question and told Smith to âstop it.â
âI donât!â Smith responded.
Shaquille OâNeal said, âYou did that on purpose, Underdog,â referring to Inside the NBA producer Joe Underhill.
Host Ernie Johnson, however, had no interest in getting involved in the mess. He identified everyone else on the boat aside from Russini and Vrabel.
âThatâs all I see on that boat,â Johnson said. âI donât see anything else.â
Weeks earlier, Vrabel and Russini â at the time a reporter for The Athletic â found themselves at the center of controversy when photos emerged showing them spending time with one another at a luxury resort in Arizona.
