Russini & Vrabel Nothing to see here?

[sb1]

Dianna is probably pissed with that statement from Vrabel. He did her no favors at all.

Eh probably didn't move the needle much. She resigned from her job, that said it all.

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

Blame social media and the Internet.

Tune I talk to my wife about this regularly. Other than Patsfans I am on No social media. She’s on all of them. She’s always telling me did you hear about so and so (friends or celebrities). I reply No and I don’t care. We have become a society about gossip and negativity. Bring back the telephone with the 50’ cord and library microfiche

 

[p8ryts]

The ****ING TRUTH cannot happen soon enough.

It is very disappointing. All that BS about making smart decisions. He basically admitted he got laid and he talked it over with his family and anything else is not our business. True enough, but he is a little tarnished. Nobody likes their heroes to be mortal.

 

[palialka]

THANK GOD the draft starts tomorrow so we can stop talking about this stupid !!!

Why anyone would care about this now beyond Vrabel, Russini and their families is beyond me…

Lol mine is always telling me about some dreadful local news. She's the bringer of doom. She's a great Pats fan in that regard

Yeah. It’s hard for them to gather any mojo when they keep hearing about some guy killing his wife.

As suspected you cherrypicked the presser transcript and didn't actually watch it, missing essential context.

It is not a question of "absolute devotion" to Vrabel or in your case, absolute condemnation.

Yet, as you clearly stated, if I don't buy what Vrabel's selling, I must move on to another team.
Toddlers don't see the world through such black and white lenses.

It's about acknowledging human fallibility

Break out the violins.
It's was dirt bag move on so many levels.
His performative art yesterday was gripping. Glad it gave you a tingle.

Casting yourself as steadfast moral arbiter is quite a cross to bear.

Recognizing dirt bagery has little to do with moral arbitering.

Good luck hating the coach and rooting "for the laundry."

I don't hate the coach.
Does a fine job, in fact.
He'd be better off with less dirt baggery, less lying, less performative art.

Oh fer chrissakes. Crisis expert breaks down his statement?

You don't think they had a team of the same? Please. They tripped over their ****s with this whole situation. Fess up, move on. There would be some residual...but it would be done.

Not telling reporters to turn off the cameras and then still say nothing. It was a joke.

 

[ViperGTS]

Urban Meyer had an epically disappointing stint as a head coach. The team was a dumpster fire. Vrabel is coming off a coach of the year award and Super Bowl appearance.

And that folks is how you measure morality and assess crime and punishment in professional sports.

I highly doubt that Kraft wants to fire him anyway. That’s really the only important point here.

Dude isn't getting fired nor should he. Issue is, does this leave a mark and make him 2 percent less effective. That could affect the margins. Reports were that he hasn't had the same lately. Thats my only concern.

Like holding the players hands for trauma management?

Sounds like my house, the only social media site I’m on is Patsfans, the family laughs at me.

Same as me. Dad, how is Pats message board followed by laughter.

My grandkids love me.

It matters to me because what happens to Vrabel has an impact on the team this board is named after.

Its not over by any stretch either.

Mistakes do not mean trouble. Vrabel is handling it well and can emerge as a stronger coach.

Remains to seen.

Vrabel could be on a short leash moving forward. That is a living hell all by itself.

Separate it from the Vrabel story and I think it's just really good PR training. I think she's right when she says trying to make these things go away tend to help make them stay around longer.

 

[palialka]

This is a personal matter that will have ZERO impact on the team moving forward. He already had a private team meeting to address this and it was squashed…a dead issue as far as the team is concerned.

Pretty sure 99% of the team didn’t care at all and for those who did, no doubt Vrabel was able to address it and put it to bed.

“It's not over by any stretch”…no one on this board knows whether that’s true or not. Whatever happens next is between Mike and his family. Anything else beyond that is just wild speculation. I believe everything within the Pats organization will move forward as normal.

That’s a scary thought that it’s the same Catholic Church it has been for 2000 years, that it hasn’t changed at all after all the accusations and findings against them.

I’d like to hear Martin Luther’s thoughts on that. Lol.

 

[n1997y]

Yeah that has nothing to do with the Church as an institution and everything to do with humanity but you know that and are trolling

I’m not a Catholic, so please enlighten me: do the priests publish a list of those parishioners who have purchased dispensations? Or is that all totally private?

And if it’s public how much information is divulged? Is it just the identity of the absolved? Or does it specify which sins the absolution covered? Is there a published fee schedule, or is everything negotiated ad hoc?

If Vrabel purchased a dispensation is he totally absolved so no apology would be required? Or is a dispensation just like an EZ pass that lets him bypass the purgatory holding cell, but still means he has to appease irate fans?

I doubt Vrabel "purchased a dispensation" to allow him to commit the sin of adultery lol
