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

He has. But it seems like the consensus among fans is that nothing he says is good enough unless he goes out and gives everyone every small detail.

Pointing out how badly Mike has conducted himself is not the same as saying the public needs to hear "every small detail".

Again, read what Bedard wrote:

It was obvious from Vrabel's (fiirst) statement that he didn't consult with any public relations professionals. That, or he ignored them completely, thinking he's the smartest guy in the room — a charge that goes back to his playing days — and that he was beyond reproach.

What Vrabel should have done, at the very least, was issue a non-denial denial to buy a few days to meet with crisis PR managers to craft a real response that would allow everyone to move on as quickly as possible. Admit enough to be vulnerable and humbled. Ask for forgiveness and privacy while you work on becoming the husband, father, and coach everyone expects you to be. Basically, much of what Vrabel did on Tuesday, just 10 days earlier.

Instead, he doubled down and taunted the NY Post, which was basically asking for more dirt digging. It was evident that something was going on. Not only was he untruthful about that, but he was also defiant. If you're caught, admit it, ask forgiveness, and move on. It normally works.

Compare and contrast to how Mike actually played things:

“These photos show a completely innocent interaction and any suggestion otherwise is laughable,” Vrabel said in a statement to Page Six at the time.

Mike ain't the first person on Earth to get caught with his willy out.

He should have thought things through a lot better than he did.

It seems he just thought he was bulletproof, but then he took a few rounds to the head.

I feel like the man has two strikes against him, the affair and the botched handling of the affair.

One more strike and he's out!
