Former coach of Venus Williams highlights problem in tennis that is finally being addressed
Former coach of Venus Williams highlights ongoing tennis court speed issues.
Jay Glazer's viral video of NFL coaches day drinking at a hotel has garnered millions of views without backlash, highlighting a perceived double standard in the industry. In contrast, a similar scenario featuring Dianna Russini might provoke outrage.
Mentioned in this story
There’s a video going viral of Jay Glazer.
In it, one of the most powerful NFL insiders in the business is seen standing poolside at the Biltmore Hotel during NFL owners meetings, surrounded by 28 of 32 active NFL head coaches, toasting drinks and calling it their “18th annual NFL head coaches day drinking day.”
2.6 million views. 10,000 likes. Zero outrage.
Now imagine if that video featured Dianna Russini.
That’s the central question explored in the latest episode of “Pablo Torre Finds Out,” by Pablo Torre and former Marlins president David Samson.
When Torre pressed him on the relationship between insiders and front offices, Samson didn’t flinch:
“When I give an insider a piece of information, I want something back. It’s a trade. Of course you do. So that is very normal,” Samson said, via YouTube.
Samson, who spent 18 years as a team president, knows exactly how that list gets built — because he watched it happen from the other side of the transaction.
Those names aren’t leaked. They’re placed.
The Glazer video is the perfect case study. Here is a man who openly threw a multi-year, multi-coach drinking event and posted it to social media for millions of fans to see. And rather than blowing up his career, it reinforced it.
“His job doesn’t change because of his relationships with these coaches,” Samson said. “As a matter of fact, his audience would say, ‘I need you to have these relationships with these coaches.’”
And Samson makes a vocabulary distinction that matters: Glazer is an insider, not a journalist.
His credibility is built on his access, not despite it. His sources are his friends. His clients train with him. That’s not a conflict of interest — it’s the product.
On the other side of that same pool at that same Biltmore Hotel on March 31, 2026, was former Athletic reporter Dianna Russini, doing, Torre reports from two sources with direct knowledge, essentially the same thing — hosting coaches, building relationships, cultivating the kind of insider network that the job demands.
The difference? Russini was there with Patriots coach Mike Vrabel. And several weeks later, photos of the two of them together in Sedona .
The video showcases a relaxed atmosphere among NFL coaches, raising questions about industry standards and accountability.
Dianna Russini, as a female sports journalist, could be judged more harshly than her male counterparts, reflecting gender biases in sports media.
Jay Glazer's video received 2.6 million views, indicating significant interest and engagement from the public.
