Remember when they said that Notre Dame opting out of a worthless pop tarts bowl was going to affect them and recruiting and otherwise? Yeah I do too lol
Kobe Bryant won a significant settlement against a pharmaceutical company 🚨
He tragically died in a helicopter crash weeks later.
Kyle Busch won an $8.5 million settlement against a major insurance company 🚨
He tragically died from a sudden & unexpected illness weeks later.
This Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel story is getting crazier and crazier. Everyday it’s something new.
Why isn’t it being covered with the same vigor as Ime Udoka or Sherrone Moore by the media? Heck even Klay Thompson and Meg the Stallion are getting no holds barred coverage.
A 6+ year affair.
And we're supposed to believe he never used her to get info on the other 31 teams?
His little spy.
@NFL, do your job and go down that rabbit hole.
Some in media and on social media want to distract you in the Dianna Russini - Mike Vrabel scandal.
By focusing on the tabloid stuff (the alleged affair, etc.). they can sweep the scandal under the rug with a simple, "It's none of your business."
I'll remind you what this massive scandal is REALLY about:
1.) Journalism Ethics - self explanatory.
2.) The AP Voting process - Russini had a vote for COTY and is already on record saying she voted for Drake Maye for MVP. The @AP wrote about the Russini resignation and didn't mention anything about this. I think The AP wants this story to go away.
3.) Tampering - Numerous clips and articles have surfaced in which Dianna Russini has talked about both AJ Brown and Maxx Crosby being upset with their teams and the Patriots being a trade destination. Vrabel isn't allowed to lure a contracted player to the Patriots, so people are asking if he used Russini to manipulate the trade market. The NFL hasn't issued a statement on this. It's conceivable they're investigating this internally but that seems unlikely because they haven't issued a "We are aware of it, and we're looking into it" type statement. I think The NFL wants this story to go away.
4.) Accountability - Mike Vrabel is known for preaching accountability with his team, and now finds himself in a serious scandal. Instead of addressing the media, he is nowhere to be found, which is the opposite of accountability. I think Mike Vrabel wants this story to go away.
5.) Odd Media Coverage - TMZ turned down this story because it didn't want to "police the bedroom." The NFL Network acted as though the story wasn't happening. Dan Le Batard admitted covering the story made him uncomfortabe. Barstool admits to having a close relationship with Dianna Russini - it shows. ESPN, which made a big deal of the "Coldplay Couple" remained silent and refused to cover this scandal. Now even when some cover the scandal, it's with kid gloves and focuses on the tabloid stuff as opposed to #s 2-4 above. I think some members of the media media want this story to go away.
@wooknowball @VinnyBonsignore@Raiders Yeah, he will need to be significantly better in all aspects. Not just a pre season game. A whole heck of a lot more goes into leading a football team than playing good. The raiders didn’t do all this so he can struggle after a “good” preseason.
Dan Orlovsky just lost all credibility.
He seriously asked "what biggest games" Fernando Mendoza played in?
Mr. 2-points untouched safety doesn't think the CFP playoffs & Natty are big games? 🤨
Wonder how Ty Simpson did in playoffs & Natty? 🤔
@MitchellRenz365 All he’d have to do is unretire and force the saints hand, correct? I’m not saying I want him on the raiders, but he does have an easy out it seems.
