Russini & Vrabel Nothing to see here?

Not open for further replies.
Unfortunate. But inevitable imo.
 
yeah, even though she’s denying. That’s pretty hard to think it’s anything else at this point.
 
The resignation is not a great sign, though it is mostly a reflection of her side of things. It does add more credence to the fact that there was inappropriate activity going on. I don't know why else she would resign, unless she felt the NYT was going to terminate her simply for fraternizing too much, or something, even if there was not an intimate component. We don't know what Vrabel's side of things from a personal life standpoint looks like, but I don't know if we'll actually find out, either.

If she was innocent then she would sue their asses. She has a better hope at salvaging her career doing that than resigning in shame.

She could also be forestalling the investigation from turning over rocks unrelated to this particular incident. Maybe she discovered they weren’t half-assing the investigation and decided it was best to cut losses now. The Times could hang her on compromising her impartiality as an investigative reporter even if she was innocent of other misbehavior, and they could end up calling into question all of her work not just anything dealing with Vrabes and the Pats.

It feels kinda clear to me now. She’s had endless time to clear herself, prove her alibis, and nothing ever came out of it.

I mainly just hope the NFL doesn’t try to do anything on their end with Vrabel, and things move on. His personal life is still his business to me, whether I condone it or not.

I don't know what grounds they would have, as he did not violate any conduct policy that I am aware of. No law was broken, no charges were pressed or threatened to be pressed. As you've said, this is a personal issue. Not to make light of the issue, but it would be like disciplining a coach for being an alcoholic.

The NFL has no say in Vrabel's personal life. Even if something happened it's commonplace, if they start doling out penalties for sex lives there will be no end to it.

Yep. Even with her contact up 6/30 an NFL reporter on a national level doesn't resign before the freaking draft.

She can't do the job anyway. Anything she posts will get innundated with questions about the scandal, whatever she says not related to the scandal will be totally ignored.

Also, many of her sources in other teams are likely to ghost her hard. They can't trust her not to run to Vrabel with whatever intel she gets from their team. "Don't offer them a 1st, they'll do it for a 2nd, but you gotta wait it out."

Agreed. I really doubt anything happens from the NFL. He already addressed it in the media. Otherwise, it’s a personal issue, not a league matter, or shouldn’t be.

Possibly. My hope is she resigned and decided to commit the time and focus to figure out why she is still married.

Yes but The Athletic already issued a public statement fully supporting her.

I think she did hook up w/ Vrabes but just stating what if she didn't.
 
Asinine gossip in the manner of middle school girls. You all should be ashamed of yourselves for being so sunken in masturbatory glee, but then if you had sound enough character to realize you should be ashamed, you wouldn't indulge in this sort of embarrassing stuff in the first place.
