Pffft. That’s not a boat story.

Sure is. Yeesh. When do the Patriots view this as too much? Probably never because Kraft will double down on keeping Vrabel, as he hates the media for exposing his little massage trips about 45 minutes up the road from me. How is the media going to leave Vrabel alone about this moving forward? The gutless Boston media hasn't said a peep, of course....

Um, yikes! The weekly updates on this story have been wild. If this was all coming out during the Pats season... man.

At this point I expect a lot more is going to keep coming out, to be honest. Once the paps have the lens focused on someone, there isn't a single stone they won't turn over. And unlike uber-famous celebrities who pay teams of people to insulate/hide/cover their skeletons long before the public catches wind of them, Vrabel and Russini got caught with their pants-- well, y'know.

By July we'll know about tests Vrabel cheated on in middle school at this rate.

Someone has an axe to grind with one or both of them. The stuff is being released a bit at a time to keep the embarrassment factor up. V for vendetta I guess.

I suspect its just slime journalism, they cant come up with a real story of their own so they keep chasing down this shit.... people need to get their own lives so they wont get so much satisfaction over finding failings in others lives.

Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?

Surely at some point one of the spouses will file for divorce, right? That's another year+ of catnip for the people who like you said, get way too invested in the personal lives of complete strangers. I think I'm in the camp that Vrabel won't be the Pats coach in Week 1. Leave of absence, resignation, I don't know. But the level of hyperfocus needed to coach a football team in the middle of this scandal of this level is not something most can do. It's been done (Kobe Bryant during his trial comes to mind), but for an entire season? Big ask.

Will this die away by August?

Who knows, but I'll bet many in Pats org are relieved it's only May right now.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

Well right now this story is getting clicks. You add that they both denied that this was anything other than a proper interaction initially, then the whole story begins to unravel.

I do not understand people who carry something like this out for so long who continue to stay with their spouses. This has been more than a fling, so why live a lie and be so cruel to the people you are living with daily. I feel really bad for the spouses and think it is a really sad state that organizations like TMZ who serve no purpose other reporting dirt are around.

The personal stuff should be private. But how she got her job and how she got info is a legitimate question. If you think Charissa Thompson’s nude photos or Coleen Wolf posing in her bikini have nothing to do with their gigs, I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale.

Just the latest example as to why I don't recommend marraige to anyone. A relationship goes sour (as most do), then you just move on without the government dictating terms and the other party taking half your shit. It's why most people stay in bad marraiges and go the "cheating route" because the relationship has gone bad, but they want to avoid the circus and financial ramifications of divorce. Simply not getting married in the first place and entering into a binding legal agreement for "love" would save the headache and your pocketbook.

Or on the flip side, enter matrimony for the right reasons, stay committed to your spouse and avoid the headaches and heartbreaks of "moving on". Much happier and well adjusted as you enter later parts of life.

I tend to agree, but they may be doing it for their kids? I have know quite a few couples that divorce within a year of their kids being out of the house and it comes out later they stayed in an unhappy marriage so they could both be there daily for their kids, if the home life is still civil, i thinks its a good thing for those that can make it work.

I am not following this story much at all, have either of the spouses made any public comments? hell maybe they were cheating as well... just biding their time until they can walk away and not hurt the kids?

who the hell keeps video this old and shitty? I think there should be a law that yes, a person in public can be videod or whatever... until that person tries to profit from those pictures without those in the pics or videos permission. anybody caught profiting from unpermitted pics/vids should be held civilly liable and if it includes minors, criminally as well. if some kid on scholarship is entitled to NIL, then the muses of these people should be receiving compensation as well.

I think that is a great idea.
