The biggest issue for Vrabel besides the mess at home is you seriously have to consider tampering charges. Russini’s reporting, particularly on AJB, could be deemed as such. You also take into account she fabricated a story where Crosby “wanted” to play for Vrabel. He most likely used her to channel conversations with players that he couldn’t talk to without tampering

There absolutely need to be tampering charges, it's easy to see. We've known about it for years

Everyone looks bad in this mess other than the wife of the former Washington GM who called out Russini a decade ago.  

 

Depending on why she apologized and recanted, she might be more angry than anyone.

Specifically on AJB, others have said that her reporting matched what they heard .

It's hilarious, and maybe a little sad, to me that some people are treating Russini like she's a victim here or saying that either one of these people are a bigger piece of shit than the other.

 

1. Russini ain't a victim, she's an adult and a professional who works for a major news reporting agency and has a name that most of the country knows. She's perfectly capable of getting stories without sleeping with men to get them - she chose to do that to get an advantage over others who worked just as hard to try to get to where she was.

 

2. Russini ain't broke. People acting like she makes 40k a year in here. According to reports she has a net worth of 5 million and her husband only makes a little over 100k a year. She's clearly the breadwinner in the household. 

 

3. Vrabel has always been an asshole. We just liked him when he was our asshole and now we hate him because he's someone else's asshole. This is who he is and who he's always been. No one should feel sorry for the guy and he deserves all the criticism he gets because he's had plenty to say and he's portrayed himself publicly as someone he's clearly not. A man who has been with his wife since 1999, has two kids, and built a life with her but then goes and does this.... he deserves zero sympathy from any of us. 

 

4. Same for Russini. She hasn't been married as long but she is married and she has kids. Profoundly selfish. All the crying about power structure and blah blah blah. No one made her do it. Plenty of women make a great career in broadcast and media without resorting to sleeping with sources. Not only did she cheat to get ahead and compromise her journalistic integrity along the way, but this is also a slap in the face to all the women who worked their asses off and only perpetuates the culture where future women may feel pressured to make similarly selfish decisions. 

 

I don't hate them and I don't wish anything bad on anyone but I do feel sorry for their families, I condemn their behavior and I condemn those who would defend either one of them as if they are some victim in all of this.

No matter what you guys do during the offseason DON’T BE A DISTRACTION, A DISAPPOINTMENT TO THE TEAM.  THINK OF THE TEAM!! Especially for some middling booty,…. Be mindful in today’s digital age what people can do with something like that, put you in a bad situation, and bring down the TEAM!

 

Your coach of the year,

Vrooming Vrabel

That was never a serious defense. What if there were "friends"? They were at a couples resort spending the night together romantically involved. 

It's a bald-faced lie.  Gave NYT enough to tell her her best option was to resign...

100% about Russini. She’s not some amateur waif, makes hella jack (part of the reason the other reporters are taking her to task), was the lead NFL reporter in most of her segments, was able to build and shape public narratives based solely on her stories alone, and seemingly did so on her own and to benefit her and Vrabel. She’s an equal to Vrabel in most meaningful ways
