Fire Vrabel?

[Thelonious]

I suppose it will make those engaged in fighting sexism happy to note that pantytwisting *****ery is not limited to the ladies. This is a largely male venue, yet the squeals of affected dismay are as loud and persistent here as at any 1950's ladies' bridge club. That's the only good news I see in this pathetic display.

Seriously, they are both married, they are not both dead!

If Jenn Vrabel was a redhead at least one of them could be courting death

Are you trying to take sams job by starting this thread? .....
Asking for Sam

Oops, I did not think of that.

Sam, I’m sorry.

Adults are gonna do adult things…he wasn’t in the pats locker room nailing 3 cheerleaders…

If he managed that I’d give him a raise.

Yes. Even in my prime the third one would’ve been challenging. And Vrabes is 50, so as close to my present age as he is to those prime years…

Consequences Vrabel will have to deal with:

- Probably a nasty divorce.
- Relationship with his kids.
- If the divorce is nasty and drawn out, it will spill into his worklife. But it'll pass and he'll recover.

Consequences Vrabel will NOT have to deal with:

- Job security. Any talk in this regard is panty-twisting madness.

Or his consequences may be coming home, telling his wife the details to get her excited and then having her proceed to outdo Dianna in the sack.

We have no idea what kind of relationship the two of them have.

As a former redhead I am conflicted between agreeing and resenting the stereotyping

Fire Vrabel?!? For allegedly having an affair?

Any punishment he should face is with his family. If he cheated, I hope his wife gets everything she wants in a divorce if that is the route she goes. But I don't think even with a high profile job, that his job should be in jeopardy because of what he does in his private life that isn't illegal.

Yeah, for all we know Jen may let Mike enjoy some extramarital relations with a few chosen ladies. If so, it would actually be somewhat clever to get in bed with (literally) a national NFL reporter who has connections all over the league and can help you control the media to a certain degree. Etc. Of course, that's a pretty bad look for Russini but that's not a Vrabel problem.

Seems like 99% of the public assumes all of these to be true without evidence:
1. Vrabel and Russini definitely had sexual relations
2. Neither had permission from their spouses to do so
3. Both tried to hide it from their spouses
4. Their spouses are upset
5. Their spouses are going to divorce them

We have evidence of zero percent of the above. All you have is smoke that could lead you to believe maybe point #1 happened but it is a supposition and not a definitive fact.

There is plenty of evidence this happened. I would not call it proven beyond any reasonable doubt based on what we know so far, but to act like these accusations are being made without evidence is just not true.

2. Neither had permission from their spouses to do so

I know absolutely nothing about the Russini's, but there is plenty of evidence that Vrabel would not have had permission from his devout Catholic wife of 25 years to bang other women.

3. Both tried to hide it from their spouses

Well the very first (and so far only) statements either made was to deny anything happened. So yeah if something happened, they certainly seem intent on hiding it.

4. Their spouses are upset

This is the same as #2.

5. Their spouses are going to divorce them

This is a prediction which may or may not happen. You can't have "evidence" of a prediction.

As a survivor of @ 50 years of exposure to the female variety I can say unequivocally the stereotype is firmly based in reality. If you're lucky enough to survive being married to a redhead... you're lucky enough

this is so much nonsense it’s ridiculous… I hate the media and what it has become

What lol. This feels like working backwards from a conclusion

 

[bresna]

All of this hot-headed redhead stuff cracks me up. I've been with my redheaded wife for 46 years - married for 39 of them and we have two redheaded daughters. The person that gets heated up over nothing ("Where's the FLAG"!!) is not any of the women in this house.

What part did you not understand?

 

[UrbanCowboy]

No prob, and thanks for the compliments. I feel I should apologize for giving in to my penchant for stirring **** up.

And I really did want to find out if there was anyone who actually would fire the COTY over such an issue, because the discussion thread about it seems like there really might be. The whole thing has riled some folks up so much. Problem is that I can’t really tell if the two votes for summary execution are serious or in the same spirit as my OP. Ah well, twas fun to see the responses.

the "clutching pearls" option was hilarious

Your post is just assumption built upon assumption built upon assumption.

I mean, not saying that Vrabel should be fired, but the Russini thing is way more "fireable" than the Belichick thing. The Belichick thing was just funny. Outside of whatever you think about an age difference like that with BB and Hudson, there's no football context to that. With the Vrabel/Russini thing, there's the backdrop of her being a reporter making it inappropriate if they were dating in the minds of many. Though I'd argue it's more Russini who shouldn't be doing that in her role than Vrabel is in his.

Ummm…no one’s suggested Bill would have been fired for Hudson. Creepy as that is, whatever.

Bill should have been fired (and was) for mailing it in those final years, only coaching players “he liked”, making Matt MF Patricia OC, and some incredibly poor drafting that left the cupboard bare. You can be a weirdo, jerk, even a freak. You just can’t suck.

Had he still been dominating, he could have had a sex tape with Hudson come out and been fine.

It is more common than a lot of posters here realize for long married couples, where husband makes $$ and has power, to basically become roommates. Wife doesn’t want to sleep with husband anymore, but wants to enjoy all the trappings still. Husband doesn’t want to blow up the family, but also doesn’t want to take sex off his menu because the wife did.

Boom…”quiet arrangement”.

Now, usually these arrangements have an implicit “don’t be a moron and get caught” component so if Vrabes smashed Russini that’s just dumb and careless.

where is the Meh, dont care, i watch for the action on the field ,, not off

No, it isn't.

The undeniable fact is that there is evidence of an extra-marital affair. I won't say there is proof, but there certainly is evidence, enough evidence to make belief that something happened a very reasonable conclusion.

We also know for a fact that the Missus is a devout Catholic. That is not an assumption; that is a widely reported fact. There are countless articles describing how she brought him back into the fold after he had lapsed during his college days. There are also countless articles about them supporting their local diocese when he was in Tenneessee.

It takes a special type of moron to look at what we know and conclude "hey gee, maybe the devout Catholic wife of 25 years and mother of 2 is perfectly comfortable with an open marriage and polyamorous relationship!!"
