Speaker 1 (00:00):
No, no, they shouldn't. For now, everybody knows the allegations.
The New York Post and the entire media has been
reporting on this about the alleged affair, and it's alleged
between Mike Vrabel and sports reporter Diana Rossini. I'm not

(00:20):
going to get into all the sort of details. What
is very clear is that it's clearly becoming a distraction
in the locker room and in many ways a distraction
for the organization. But in the end, this is a
scandal between Verabel and his wife, Russini and her husband,

(00:42):
and this should remain a private personal matter. However, and
I'm just stating now what everybody knows. Vrabel is safe
as long as the Patriots keep winning. But mark my words,
if the Patriots have a bad season, or let's say

(01:03):
they start the year off one in five, one in six,
two and seven, two and eight, or two and nine,
this scandal is not gonna help him. In fact, it's
most likely gonna hurt him. And that's when his enemies
and critics are gonna use this sex scandal to undermine

(01:24):
his authority, undermine his credibility, and they're gonna go for
his political throat and demand that he be fired or
let go. And so my advice to Mike Vrabel not
that he listens, but if he is listening, Mike A,
keep your nose clean and b you better win because

(01:47):
if you're not winning, they're gonna use this scandal and
wrap it around your neck. The media is gonna do it,
other teams in the NFL are gonna do it, Your
critics are gonna do it, and then the craft ownership
may have no choice but to let you go. So
you heard it here. First. Rabel's job I believe is

(02:11):
safe for now, but if this team starts losing September, October,
November and the boo Birds come out, he may be
in trouble and this scandal may ultimately cost him his
job
