Russini & Vrabel Nothing to see here?

I think you’d only lose the team if you lied to them.

What about lying to Kraft?

 

[Nikolai]

Football players barely care if you masturbate openly in the locker room, I doubt this **** even clocks on their radar lmao.

You’d lose the team if you have a double standard like if the team is using some monogamy morality clause on its players.

I doubt that Early Bird Bob would be doing that given his scandal.

I doubt that the players care at all.

Yeah, I don't think a bunch of professional athletes in the 22-32 age range are super pearl-clutchy about things like this. It's more like:

"Damn, that's wild."

And move on with the day.

This whole story is grist for the purity mills still being operated in 2026 for some reason...

**** like this is why I don't want to put on my pats hat outside of the season.

****ing kraft has to get involved and screw it up even more. Hes off the deep end man. But it's not like it's gonna get any better when Jonathan is in charge.

They bring shame to our fan base

C'mon, man.

Kraft can't win: you're mad he stuck his nose in, other people would get mad if he didn't stick his nose in.

Shame? This is football, not Boy Scouts.

We live in a time where the biggest religious outfit in the world shielded its employees who diddled little boys.

If you expect football players to hold a pristine standard of conduct, I think you're setting yourself up for a fall.

Where is the woke "Me Too" crowd when you need them?

Thread from hell. Will not die.. Thursday come quickly!

 

[Bill Lee]

Re. Vrabel, it's not "the deed" itself as much as authoritatively admonishing off-field distractions and then creating one. He'll need to say something to them.

I feel like creating a distraction would be public drunkenness, DUI, public exposure, public fornication, etc.

I feel like meeting an alleged side piece at a secluded resort designed for privacy deep in the off-season isn't really the same thing.

Yet I also feel he needs to at least admit his actions created the appearance of impropriety, and apologize for that to the team.

Welcome back!

 

[Betterthanmost]

Welcome back!

I have become slightly annoyed by the story to be honest. I feel though there is a relationship with Vrabel, it was not sexual in nature but there is nothing they can do to disprove it. Don’t want anyone here to smash me over the head about this to keep feeding this thread but it is just a case of bad optics at worse but you just can’t convince the mob.

You're entitled to cling desperately to your belief nothing illicit happened, but to call people who think there was an affair "the mob" or act like it is a mob mentality is intellectually dishonest. The evidence is overwhelming. This isn't a witch hunt.

Let's be real, if this was any of the 31 other coaches, nobody here would be bending over backwards to give them the benefit of the doubt some are desperate to give Vrabel.

It's pretty simple, you say you were there with friends, have one of them corroborate the story for you. Easiest thing in the world and they let it drag on.

He didn't take Chris Carter's advice and have a fall guy.
