Sports radio host Craig Carton sharply criticized NFL reporter Dianna Russini on Wednesday over her promotional deal with betting operator BetUS, calling the decision "brain-dead."
Carton, known for his outspoken commentary, addressed the partnership during his program, questioning Russini's judgment in aligning with the sportsbook. Russini, a prominent NFL insider, recently announced her involvement with BetUS in a marketing capacity.
The exchange highlights ongoing tensions in sports media regarding journalists' relationships with gambling companies. Neither Russini nor BetUS immediately responded to requests for comment.
