Russini & Vrabel Nothing to see here?

dude, they are 7 years apart.......
 
That’s some evil scheming photoshop work there if I don’t mind saying so…I think. What use to be a fun thing, photoshopping a huge dong in a sleeping friend’s open mouth for example, has turned into a marriage/relationship/job ending endeavor for those inclined toward such maleficence. Tut-tut! Joking aside, people need to stop worrying about and bashing/insinuating things that has ZERO to do with themselves. Mind your own damn business! Hopefully big Mike and the others in the pic come out unscathed. The fact the people have to explain or justify what is going on in a pic of them and friends at a pool when they were out of town or something, says a lot about us…

I think that is a naive view. If this leads to trouble for Vrabel on the homefront, it could definitely impact his work life.

My working theory - which I gladly admit is just a wild ass guess based on no evidence whatsoever - is Russini’s husband hired a PI to track her to either find if she is being unfaithful and if so, get some incriminating evidence.

Either that or some freelance photog just happened to be there at the same time. Who knows….

Yup. Totally agree.
What's more likely, that some random is taking pics of vrabel at an exclusive resort or that her husband hired a PI.

Russini has been making jokes about her husband for years. It seems like joking but she did it over the course of years on TV shows. Very public. Rumors of her performing sexual favors on the Washington GM and then the smoke in Tennessee when vrabs was there.

Sorry but the husband seems like an excellent source of these photos. The one on the balcony? So some rando follows vrabel all day and then gets a wide angle shot of them all alone atop the bungalow?

Seriously you gotta jump thru a lot of mental hurdles to think they are innocent.

This will 100% distract the team. Good thing otas haven't started.

As I said. The only person who should be embarrassed is the old ass man in a hot tub with a much younger woman who isn't his wife and tried to gaslight us that there's nothing to see here.

No one is jumping to conclusions here. It's right there in your face. This isn't on the tabloids. It's on Vrabel.

Your obvious titillation has driven you to near madness. Perhaps a cold shower.....

Perhaps. Or perhaps Vrabel should be embarrassed he got caught up in a secret rendezvous cheating on his wife.

It doesn't make him a bad person. People make mistakes. It's still embarrassing and I'm guessing he feels quite embarrassed.

I'm not pretending anything, I think it's ******** and have said so from the start. You apparently want to gossip like a little girl without getting any criticism for it.

The "friends" were never there. The only two people in the real, unedited photographs are Vrabel and Russini.

The pernicious photoshopping you speak of was done by Barstool - it was a gag, a joke. They photoshopped the "friends" into the original photos.

I am not sure how/if this affects Vrabel in a football sense. Maybe some guys are skeptical on his "represent the team" and high moral character messaging now but I think it is pretty well known that a lot of these guys cheat on their wives and girlfriends so honestly who knows? Either way both Vrabel and Russini are equally at fault for all this nonsense but career-wise Russini is going to take a much bigger hit whether it is fair or not.

It definitely causes his players to question his morality, sincerity and at minimum his decision making. This incident and however deep this goes is going to leave a scar one way or another even with the team.

We don't know the details and it looks awful. I do think it's possible for things to be mended with the team though.

No players is going to care if the coach is ****ing around as long as the coach isn't some scrub nobody respects. If anything he has some cred now

So you are saying that The Athletic is lying about something that can be easily proven?

"Much younger woman"...? You're joking, right?

Of all the things which may or may not be going wrong in this situation, their respective ages (50 and 43) is not even remotely on the list.
 
Statement from the Athletic:

Instagram)
Amid huge backlash from fans and fellow reporters, some wondered if Dianna Russini’s employers, The Athletic, would part ways with her. Steven Ginsberg, executive director of the company, now owned by the New York Times, revealed the decision.

“These photos are misleading and lack essential context,” he said. “These were public interactions in front of many people. Dianna is a premier journalist covering the NFL, and we’re proud to have her at the Athletic.”

I personally don’t like cheating.

But these celebrities lives are so complicated and intertwined. They don’t live lives like us. If he’s not doing anything illegal, it’s really none of my business to really speculate.

We have no clue what was actually going on, and we also have no clue what dynamics are going on in each of their marriages. He could be in an open marriage for all we know.

What is cheating? Why do you get to set the rules?

Russini has been relentlessly dropping "AJ Brown wants to go" tweets for the past couple of months

Maybe she’s on the take from AJB’s agent and needed proof she was doing the work?

This is funny but this is also a good reference point for what is not appropriate vs what is still in the realm of maintaining professionalism. The only slightly iffy part is the photo where their hands are together, maybe, but it’s not really in a romantic way either and without any other context it’s not worth much.

We’ve been seeing lots of pictures where he’s got hands together with players, especially rookies. Why nobody is up in arms about his abusing his power position inappropriately with them?

Maybe she’s researching a story on how Vrabes works out prospective draft candidates?
