Russini & Vrabel Nothing to see here?

[Bill Lee]

Accountability…

It's so Felger to try to make the "he's lost the team" angle stick.

No one without a lot of air time to fill or clicks to get believes that.

I think you’d only lose the team if you lied to them.

felger's a useless packer lovin' idiot. anyone giving his stupidity, at anytime on any subject, any credence is just dumb or a willful pessimist.

The fact that Russini couldn't provide any communications with her friends planning this trip, couldn't provide pictures or receipts confirming she was with anybody but Vrabel, and couldn't get a single one of these alleged friends to speak up and corroborate her story says pretty much all you need to know.

The media that broke the story was going to kill it if she could corroborate her lie. Her employer was going to keep her if she could corroborate her lie.

She had way too much to lose to not do everything possible to show that her story of being there with friends was true. Which means it wasn't.

So the next logical question is.... if it's innocent, why would you tell an elaborate lie you can't back up? Once you make up a story to cover something up, you effectively lost the benefit of the doubt.

You know, all she had to do is take 5 minutes on ChatGPT and make pictures of her and her friends at the resort, in the pool, on hikes…. In the fake world of AI her friends were there. .

That's the biggest problem in a situation like this as it relates to coaching. Lying about it. If people can't trust your word, that's the biggest problem going forward after something like this

Vrabel will address it with the team behind closed doors -- a mea culpa in some fashion that will renew their faith and preserve the cultural touchstones established in 2025.

Give Felger some credit, he bases that on inside information from Marjorie in Metheun and Susie from Southie. He's a real journalist.

It was only a matter of time before the media turned this into a Patriots story and not a Vrabel cheated on his wife story.

If the report is true, don’t blame the media for reporting it.

It seems people are just addicted to hear other people say crazy stuff.

I guess this is why we used to use the term 'shock jock', saying shocking things grabs people's attention.

Felger was raised in a family where he heard his father say crazy stuff about the Packers so he doesn't have to leave his comfort zone to say the kind of crazy stuff that other people would be uncomfortable saying.

He was smart enough to see how saying crazy stuff resonated among the knuckle draggers, and he's laughing all the way to the bank.

If you look at Wikipedia you find he has property in the Seaport District and on Nantucket, a very pretty wife, and a nice family too.

Great gig if you can get it.

Football players barely care if you masturbate openly in the locker room, I doubt this **** even clocks on their radar lmao.

True, and to nit pick, I doubt there is much if any faith lost, except maybe for team members with Henderson's point of view.

Even then, if is's true to his faith, he knows everyone is a sinner and he's able to grant forgiveness, right?

For the others, c'mon.

Almost all of them grew up as outliers on the athletic and social scale.

Almost all have the kind of carnal knowledge that is only a fantasy for most other people.

Even without that, it's not like concepts such as infidelity and/or divorce are unknown to modern athletes.

Heck, being married in the first place is what is becoming more and more rare these days.

You can always count on Florio to flog the dead horse.

[owner Robert] Kraft took advantage of that extended timeframe to put pressure on the reporter and the newspaper

Russini promptly contacted a “crisis communications expert” after becoming aware of the situation.

Yawn.

Florio admits in the last line of the story (after he got his click) that these actions are sensible and to be expected.

Same old Florio song and dance: Start off by trolling, then try to un-troll himself later, so he can sleep better at night.

Nope, Mike, you are a clown-ass troll. Do like Felger does, and own it!

Given the newly learned info (below) that the team attempted to interject, the Pats are part of the story, like it or not.

Report: Patriots tried to stop New York Post from publishing the Mike Vrabel-Dianna Russini photos

Nearly two weeks after the New York Post first published photos of Patriots coach Mike Vrabel and former Athletic reporter Dianna Russini at an adults-only resort in Sedona, Arizona, the story finds new ways to remain relevant.

**** like this is why I don't want to put on my pats hat outside of the season.

****ing kraft has to get involved and screw it up even more. Hes off the deep end man. But it's not like it's gonna get any better when Jonathan is in charge.

They bring shame to our fan base

I agree. But what he says to the public can't contradict what he says to them privately. Or respect is going to be lost.

I think you’d only lose the team if you lied to them.

You’d lose the team if you have a double standard like if the team is using some monogamy morality clause on its players.

I doubt that Early Bird Bob would be doing that given his scandal.

I doubt that the players care at all.

Re. Vrabel, it's not "the deed" itself as much as authoritatively admonishing off-field distractions and then creating one. He'll need to say something to them.
