Russini & Vrabel Nothing to see here?

I think interview wise, those days are over. She may report on them, but I doubt she’ll be getting any news from Vrabel or the team.

Nothing officially - and no actual interviews as others have noted given the potential conflict of interest and attention that will bring

But he'll leak to her and she'll leak to him

That's fine by me - people often develop romantic relatoinships in the workplace as that's where they meet each other

But even if Vrabel were arrested in a FL massage parlor I don't think Kraft would be overly judgmental - TreVeyon might be - but not Bob Kraft.

For the record I don't really care if Kraft or anyone else gets a handy on the flip - there's real problems in the world and that's not one of them

My main point is if this one any one of the 31 other coaches with some reporter there wouldn't be much dissenting opinion but because it's our coach it's different.

Well because it's our coach it's interesting to talk about. If it were any other coach it wouldn't be a thread. But I'd still hold the same opinion

Man...that wide shot doesn't paint a great picture for him, and it's probably going to create a long night for him at home. Definitely don't envy him. Although the best way to avoid doing anything you might regret is to not put yourself in that situation to begin with. Especially in this day and age. Somebody is always watching.

Mike Pence was onto something when he said never be alone with another woman lmao

Depends on the context. Hugging a woman at a wedding when you’re surrounded by friends and family is probably not an affair. Hugging a woman at a romantic Arizona couples getaway when your spouses aren’t there, perhaps no one else was there (depending on which reports you believe) and spending the better part of the day with just her is rightfully going to raise eyebrows among anyone with 2 functioning brain cells.

It certainly doesn’t help that she has been plausibly accused of such a thing in the past.

I guess I don't get a lot of context from a couple of still shots. Anything can look bad in one frame

Trying to imagine my wife going on a work trip to a couples retreat hotel in the middle of nowhere, being photographed with a guy all day holding hands with interlocked fingers, suntanning side by side in the pool, dancing on a bridge with no one nearby... and then when I say wtf she answers "Well duh that's not how babies are made."

Like, come on man.

Honestly, Dianna made a bad move there as well. Like a couple of other people have mentioned, while her editor came to her defense, I'd be surprised if this doesn't take her completely off the Patriots beat, because as others pointed out, it will be tough for her to report on anything with the team without this being mentioned.

This just made her job a little more difficult and took away a connection that would have given her an edge. Vrabel will likely be fine regardless, but for her, it's definitely much more complicated, and she has more to lose professionally than he does.

It's unfortunate because it's hard enough being a woman in a media landscape that's already slowly contracting as it is. Especially given how competitive it is for her and other women in her field, and the fact that she already seemingly had one incident that is now going to be back in the spotlight. Definitely not a great situation.

I gave you the context. This wasn’t the owners’ meeting where they were both working and bumped into each other in the lobby.

I'm not arguing it was coincidence I'm arguing it doesn't mean they're having an affair

Dancing on a bridge with no one nearby? Did I miss something outside of that still shot?

I would think she would never be allowed to give interviews with the Patriot’s organization ever again.

Woooo, hold your horses. It is not that serious.

Yep. I used to have joking text threads with a former co-worker and at times I would threaten to kill him. Looks pretty damning if you read one text, hopefully he's never found dead.

I would say that not being "allowed" is a bridge too far. But avoiding Foxboro for the foreseeable future is probably a likely scenario.
 
I had this post created and almost hit post when I deleted it. Then I saw someone else created it. I don't really know why but after looking at it more..they are both ****ed in their marriages. Russini has that look if you know what I mean. I'm not being judgmental but if anyone can look at this in any other way than they are boinking each other while being married...I dunno. The spin now about all these other people being there...I mean you can't see anybody even close.

Too bad too because now this impacts the families including Vrabels kids etc. As someone said this was the worst known secret in sports dating back to the Titans and before she was even married. It also doesn't do much good for the organization right now either with the draft coming up.

It was a grade A ****up by Vrabel. I thought he was a bit smarter than that, but at the end of the day he is an ex jock. So it's not surprising.
 


Arms and legs crossed, yeah she's definitely into him like no woman I have ever seen.

If you mean for like 5 years you are probably right.

This is a horrible look.

They both married. Besides her working the titans beat when vrabel did (and mad rumors that he was her source) they don't have a working history together.

Theres no reason for them to be there together without their families.

Vrabel looks like a ho here. Its a huge bomb to his reputation and his message to players about taking responsibility. Diggs just got caught like a month before this and vrabel does this. At the least it's misguided.

Bad PR hit after Krafts bj and hand jobs. Also there's tons of people who think bill and jordon are gross together. Plus Kraft has wilded out with way younger chicks lately. Again lots of people think this behavior is gross.

Plus the pats just signed up for hard knocks. Its another distraction. It matters. If you say it doesn't matter you're just think from your own personal position. Millions upon millions is spent on PR and crafting a message. That's totally blown outta the water
