Patriots Rumor Is Mike’s job security in any danger now? (Vrabel Allegedly Caught Kissing Russini in New Photos 6-Years Ago)

A report indicating the Patriots are potentially in the market for this player, or have expressed or plant to express interest.
TMZ says the photographer was not a PI hired by one of their spouses.



I don’t believe it’s a casual sports fan either like TMZ says. It must be someone connected to Strunk. Has to be especially with the second batch of photos showing up. This is a media hit.

I thought it would be a spouse.

Strunk or a connection to her would make sense with someone holding on to 6 year old photos this long
 
Brady dumped his girlfriend after she became pregnant. May have dumped her because she got pregnant. Or maybe got her pregnant after he dumped her. No matter which of those you choose to believe it is still sex out of wedlock.
Monaghan found out she was pregnant after they were broken up, when Brady was already in a relationship with Gisele. From everything we know, both from Monaghan herself, and from countless videos and articles after the fact, he was a father to that child, as much as he was to his other two children.

Comparing that situation to Vrabel and Russini publicly humiliating their spouses in interviews, while cheating on them for years, is one of the most inane comparisons i've ever seen, and another proof of the primitive tribalism that is sports fandom. People will make the most ridiculous excuses as long as the person accused benefits their tribe, in this case the coach of their team. Everything is relative as long as the wins pile up.
 
If it is ever proven to be Strunk I hope someone sues the **** out of her.
The thing is, they were going to get caught eventually.

But I don't know how you could sue either. With them being in public

But I get how you're feeling

Especially Russini if she really was only collateral damage here and Vrabel was the real target.

That would also be the least of Strunk’s problems. Ask Dan Snyder.

I don't think the situation is analogous to Brady's situation with Moynihan, but Vrabel's situation isn't abnormal. This **** happens literally every day. No one is above this type of transgression. All that's necessary is the right circumstance.

Also, I've witnessed Tom Brady french kiss his son, so I'm not sure we need to be defending his decency lol

Imagine a world in which people weren't sexually and emotionally repressed by the compulsion of human society to impose arbitrary rules on others that we commonly defy ourselves with no accountability to our hypocrisy and sanctimony.
Someone once Imagined such a world…

Over fifty years ago…

 
I will say that it's pretty hilarious to observe people getting personally offended by *some other guy's* infidelity.

Exactly. If Vrabel was a relative of mine and this is going to cause major issues in the family, sure, I'd be justifiably pissed off right now. But since I've never met him and will never meet him, or his wife, I'm just going to say this was an ******* thing for him to do, but I'm actually more concerned with his ability to help my favorite team win games.

You must know something Tom and Bridget don’t because every single time they’ve spoken on the matter, they’ve said they broke up and then she discovered she was pregnant. Tom was already dating Gisele when he learned Bridget was pregnant.
May have dumped her because she got pregnant. Or maybe got her pregnant after he dumped her. No matter which of those you choose to believe it is still sex out of wedlock.
Sex out of wedlock is not even remotely analogous to adultery.

I remember this situation clearly and retroactively calculated the moment of conception. Bridget was significantly older than Brady with a ticking fertility clock. Their relationship was ebbing. The Patriots just lost in the Gillette mud to Mangini's Jete (artificial turf subsequently was installed). Tom got knocked around in the loss. Moynihan says, "Come here Tommy, I'll make you feel better ... GOTCHA!"

Brady met Gisele and had moved on before Bridget announced the pregnancy. The rest is history.

Permit me to disagree with exactly this part of what you wrote. There are people who are capable of being faithful in the face of temptation. But if you do go out looking for temptation, you will find it.

Both Rossini and Vrabel were disgusting people long before they went and proved it to the world. Cheaters look for an excuse to cheat, none of them wait for the proverbial gun to the head. And they were already this kind of person that might do this long before they met each other. This incident just proved their true nature to the world.

Sadly you are right, this isn't uncommon. But I don't want to let the idea stand that it's somehow tolerable to be this kind of human just because it happens more than we like to think it does. Morality aside, this behavior creates a generation of kids that don't know their own genetic history due to kept secrets, and there you find the true victims of these things.

I do get what you're saying. But I think we're all capable of this type of sin. And I believe it's wise to be humble in this fact. If not for God's grace protecting any of us, (which includes common grace for unbelievers) including myself from this type of sin, that could be us as well.

I think with God's grace, we can and will be faithful. If we stray away from God, we become vulnerable.
 
Stupider huh, nice grammar.
Stupider is the comparative form of the adjective " stupid".
Sometimes " stupid" can also be a noun.
As in, " I just responded to stupid".
Keep digging that hole,Jethro

With the amount of money outlets are willing to pay, it is common for random people to snap photos, especially if they know that the person is married but see them alone with a different person. Could very usually be that. You could fund a down payment on a house with some payouts.

It's more than just the temptation, it's an extremely complicated behavior and many, many "good" people have strayed from their relationships and many, many will in the future.

Of course, many people who take this course of action are, in fact, not good people, but morality simply isn't that black and white.

You enter into a relationship with the understanding that practically speaking, there's a possibility your partner - or you - will not remain faithful.

Just as a drug addict wouldn't be a drug addict if certain variables had broken differently, a cheater wouldn't be a cheater if certain variables had broken differently. Every situation must be viewed in context. Unfortunately (or probably fortunately), we typically aren't privy to that context. That's why it's silly to judge people as human beings based on whether or not they're faithful in their relationships.

Some people cheat in a given relationship and then never cheat again in subsequent relationships. Some people are immaculately faithful for years, the relationship ends and then they cheat in the next one. Are we to condemn them for that?

And indeed, some people simply never stray. I suppose that's admirable, but I wouldn't assume someone is a good person because they don't cheat on their significant other and in turn, I wouldn't assume they were a bad person if they do.

But you're right, I'm sure there are *some* people who would never cheat under any circumstances. I just don't think that makes them any more righteous than anyone else.

This whole thing from all angles is sordid and tawdry -- the arrogant cheating couple, the sneaky photographer/profiteer, leering media outlets, morality police passing judgment -- bottom-barrel human nature on full display. Truly stomach churning.
