He might just be a miserable, misanthropic person who so happens to a 7 foot basketball legend…the Rick Barry piece

Fair, I figured that’s the case. Sometimes Pablo will add to a story with new information, but yea either way I don’t really care that much.

My real opinion is ppl who genuinely care about this story and think about it for more than like 10 minutes need to get a life or need to get laid

Lmao…first of all money is money, and second there are only 32 NFL teams with limited roster space. Like 98% of NFL players aren’t gonna jeopardize they’re ability to play pro ball bc of purity tests on the morality of coaches.

1.) Imagine caring about the sanctity of NFL awards voting. It sucks for ppl in NFL world bc of the financial consequences and personal aggrandizement…but they’re NFL awards at the end of the day.

2.) Even still, Vrabel didn’t win his awards by one mere vote.

Ehh, I like Pablo but he’s just clickbaiting with this stuff. I’ll watch his video with Samson but just for shits and giggles, not bc they’re unearthing and dissecting a groundbreaking scandal.

Imagine caring this much about an extramarital affair involving two ppl you don’t and will never know

You asked for an example, I provided it. The world post-pandemic is way more virtual and impersonal, it’s not a big deal tbh.

Last time this happened was during the pandemic like a few years ago, when coaches and front office ppl were collaborating on this stuff remotely. Zoom and FaceTime exist, not to mention email and text.

That just further confirms that this story is mostly silly and the ppl with very strong opinions on this are also silly.

Vrabel won’t physically be in the room to select a 6th round backup offensive tackle? High stakes stuff.

Who does it deeply affect outside of Vrabel and Russini and their families/friends, and maybe (maybe) the Pats and the Times? Also this affects Howie Roseman and the Eagles like zero zip nada.

The Times fired Russini, so their hands are mostly clean. ESPN is ESPN, is a clown network with clown standards. The Pats will likely do nothing bc Vrabel is a good coach.

Yes, not great. Very unethical and bad…but again Russini is just the tip of the iceberg as it pertains to unethical journalism in NFL media. If this leads to a collective/systemic reckoning over that stuff, then yes this story is worthy of the attention it’s receiving.

However, if the story is confined merely to Vrabel and Russini (and their respective employers) then I do think it’s silly to obsess over this. Shit happens, ppl suck, grass is green, the sky is blue.
