It would be ironic for Robert Kraft to fire anyone for a lapse in morality.

Post now published photos of her and Vrabel together at a bar 6 years ago. And she has a 5 year old named Michael that she followed up with this tweet when he was a newborn. Yowza.



Her big yapper and past quotes are burying her.

Wow, sounds like Vrabel is at risk of losing his marriage so he's going to counseling. It's not a day one or two of the draft kind of problem, it's a day three kind of problem.


LMAO!!!!!!

This is true. I was thinking more along the lines of Kraft getting tired of this mess and not wanting to deal with the accompanying bull**** .

Well, yes. Maybe he's tired of dealing with this bull**** . I don't know, I'm not a Pats fan, I really don't care, I was just wondering if even Kraft might have a breaking point here.

You don't have to be a pats fan, just someone who understands how pro sports works. He took them to the Super Bowl this year. Anything short of murdering someone and they would want to keep him. If he went 5-12 this past year, then maybe they'd use this to get rid of him.

TMZ now reporting they rented a boat together in 2021, while she was pregnant. They were the only people on board per the source. She gave birth to her son....Michael (!)...shortly thereafter.

Patriot road games are going to be the gift that keeps on giving for fans this year. If I'm the organist / music director for any of their opponents, you should be stacking up the cheating songs and play them relentlessly.

Smashing a 6-7 month pregnant lady, at least in my mind, that baby is yours. You're married and having an affair with a woman in her 3rd trimester, I'd feel the lowest of low as a human being unless I was positive the unborn is mine (Honey, if you ever see this post of course I'd never cheat on you, this is all hypothetical to this story).

That dude either had kids that are his that isn't public knowledge, or he's got a gigantic preggo kink (which I will say, both times my wife was that pregnant I was fully on board). But I could never ever ever poke at an in utero baby that's not mine.

They were together long before that. Her soon to be ex should be getting a paternity test. This lady is incredibly cruel. I joke on the Maury thing, but seriously, this is ****ed up even if it is the husband's kid. To name him after the ******* you're ****ing? Crazytown.

All this is crazy, but it's interesting that Russini is not getting blasted (no pun intended) like Mike is. I would guess that chick has been nailed by half the league while being married

With how long and how public they clearly were, it's crazy that they originally tried to deny it. Really didn't think there would be anything else come out from their 6+ year affair?

I would say she's getting blasted in a different way. Mike is getting hit publicly because he's still a publicly facing NFL head coach.

She's resigned and gone to ground and is arguably getting less heat publicly. But she's basically unemployable at this time so she's taking her medicine in a different way.

I bet she's employed by the start of the season. If you've noticed, little to no people in the industry are talking about her because the reality is a lot of these attractive women are banging the players, coaches, front office personnel. I bet it's taboo to bring it up. I remember when Jalen Rose divorced Molly Q cause she was banging SAS, but you heard very little about it.

There is zero chance she's hired by any traditional media outlet in the next 2 years at least.

And she is absolutely getting torched online. At the beginning of this she took 99% of the heat. Once she quit and went bunker mode and more has come out, it's going to hit Vrabel since he's still out there.

Her PR strategy for any semblance of a return will be an exclusive interview on her favorite morning news show in about 4-6 months, with a podcast tour after, then possibly starting her own or attempting to after that to remain relevant.

Fair enough. I am not an online guy, so I read little to nothing. Still say she starts her own podcast in short order. I do know she has a great relationship with Cowherd. He owns The Volume.

You really feel awful for her husband, his wife, and all their kids. But I also think it's going to be really fascinating to watch how the Patriots' PR and marketing and community affairs departments handle this.

There's such a small set of athletes who are icons with a team and then come back to coach that team with a lot of success. Vrabel won 3 titles with the Patriots and is on their 50th Anniversary team, their all 2000s team, etc. Finally gets the head coach job at NE and takes them to the big game and wins coach of the year.

Are there any examples of an absolute legend player / coach who then has an incident like this . Only one I can think of is Pete Rose, and he was a much more black & white case because he broke explicit rules of baseball.

Obviously, Vrabel has the weekly call in show like all head coaches. But I'd imagine before last month, he was a highly-sought after speaker in the New England area. He has a non-profit with two OSU teammates about reading and "being positive role models" for kids. I'm sure he has been previously very visible in the community.

Plus, the PR and media team are now going to have to start every single press conference he does by warning the media to not ask certain questions even though the organization will never once mention anything about the subject. But people are still going to ask those questions, even if they take the hit for it and get their credentials revoked.

Reading Vrabel's bio, his kids are both grown and out of the house. Obviously, Russini's are young, and that really makes her look awful. I don't think she'll work in visible media again. She'll need to go get a faceless job in some friend's company that pays you 6 figures to not be seen by the public.

And if you don't remember her for 2015, well there's this.

She certainly won't end up at any "legitimate" news source, as any news she breaks will just be joke fodder.

It happened at the absolute best time of year for Vrabel. I imagine he may briefly address it to start camp and then it will just be an embarrassing footnote in his history.

She is toast. No one legit will ever hire her. Too many young ladies right behind her ready to do a better job and without the stigma. Maybe she lands on barstool or something, but she's also getting older.

How much do you have to hate yourself and already think you're a piece of **** to engage in something that heinous? How do you marry someone and give that little of an F about them?

People don't make sense to me.
