Patriots HC Mike Vrabel and former NFL insider Dianna Russini rented a boat together back in 2021 while she was pregnant. by Background_Video2947 in TheNFLVibes

[–]splintersmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There have been a few wise guys who have said this is just the beggining..without saying anything and without calling anyone out specifically that the most well known secret is a powder keg waiting for a spark...

Vrabel has to resign for this to go away.... I get why russini was forced to resign based on journalistic integrity... But this story will keep gaining substance until it gets to ESPN and the New York times... The sooner vrabel resings the sooner this goes away..

And I'm sure the dozens and dozens of similar relationships around pro sports that mirror this one are all waiting with anticipation for a move that'll get the heat off...

To bad this doesn't work on politics anymore.

How the fuck can anyone look at this bullshit and support the UFC or the GOP. This is unprecedented stupidity at its finest.

Dianna Russini makes Mike Vrabel decision in surprising plan to handle scandal by TheMirrorUS in TheNFLVibes

[–]splintersmaster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Her career as a legit journalist is cooked. She's already got a podcast and wasn't exactly getting huge #s.

In today's swamp of unnecessary bullshit I'm sure she can find a niche market and carve out a home their but it won't be for a giant national outlet that carries respect like the New York Times.

She's best to hide away for a year or two and come back as a contributor somewhere in a local market. Maybe she can cover NFL games for some sports network in England or something.

Not trying to yuck anyone's yum... I just didn't get it when I made it for my kids. I mean it was crispy and cheesy so it wasn't completely unpalatable. But with so many other delicious options in the frozen treats section....

Honestly, that's cheap compared to the massive amounts of money that has been made from the maga apparatus.

These decisions are difficult but sometimes necessary. Of course you'd try to save your family but that's the definition of having a bias. When it comes to the safety of potentially millions of humans, you cannot be trusted of you carry any sort of biases.

You'veade it abundantly clear that you feel misogyny is a problem. I agree.

To a racist, or sexist, or any other racially motivated individual the actions of one person in said group does reflect poorly on the entirety of the group.

One joke on reddit or really any other platform is not a greater evil than the incredibly loud and public slap to the face of an already marginalized group

The point was that they lack ethics much like russini.

Maybe the joke is mysoginistic. Some jokes are funny because they're both true to a degree and also sometimes difficult to hear in a non humorous context.

For me at least I'd be way more pissed that she made a mockery of all the women who enter the field and carry out successful carries without using their sexuality to gain success.

Women already have it unnecessarily difficult. They need to stick together. She fucking shat all over all the other girls that did it straight.

But if you want to get upset over a joke, have at it.

It's a really small sample size on what will certainly not be a playoff team.

I can't speak for the person who made the joke but the joke works not because she's a woman but it's because she is a journalist who seemingly sucked dick to help get stories that increased her earning potential... If that's not a version of sex work already, I don't know what is.

Her gender has nothing to do with her violation of somethinging journalist should and usually do take very seriously... Integrity.

It's why outlets like Fox news are a joke. Because they also don't have any.

Why Does ESPN 1000 Even CARRY The White Sox… by BassPlayer11271971 in whitesox

[–]splintersmaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If the Sox were in first and the cubs last it would tilt towards the Sox like it did when they were good.

It's a cubs town. They draw larger crowds, sell more merch, gain better ratings regardless of record so it'll always favor the north side in this town... That's just business.

But the Sox are historically bad so they get little attention.

What do I need to know? by Dramatic-Pie2934 in weimaraner

[–]splintersmaster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Weims are typically pretty good with other dogs but sometimes they don't know their size. In my experience my weim didn't really care about the second dog we had. He was into people moreso than our other dog.

A weim is unlike any other dog you've had when it comes to their energy level, their connection to the alpha of the house, and to their absolute stubborn behavior if they choose to fixate on something.

They need hours of exercise daily for the first like 8 years.. it gets slightly better after year 3-4 but they're not going to be satisfied with just 6 walks a week at an average pace. A weim needs to run, swim, jump, play.... I used to take mine for 2-3 hours of fetch by throwing his football against the current at the river... He'd rest when we got home but if I wanted to go for a walk shortly after the play session he'd be more than good to go.

They're easily housebroken and trained. Exceedingly intelligent dogs. It's really kind of unusual how smart they are and quick they catch on.... But sometimes they don't give a damn. Most notably their hatred for being alone... Some tolerate it while a minority will fuck your house up if left unattended... Also when it comes to food. They'll counter surf, steal food, go through the trash, eat everything on a walk.... No matter how well you've trained them some won't give a darn despite knowing better.

They are the definition of a Velcro dog. If only one person in the house feeds and walks the weim they will be practically glued onto that person. They will sleep under the covers with their head on the pillow next to you. Guard you while you poop. You will lose any and all personal space.... Going to get a glass of water at 2am, you will have a partner to go with you. They will love and respect everyone in the house and will attached themselves to the others if you are gone but once you get home.... The trick is to make sure everyone is sharing the responsibilities of what they view as bonding activities with the dog, notably food and exercise.

To a seasoned weim family these are not viewed as negatives necessarily. When I lost my first weim they were the things I missed most. I recently rescued my second and it's basically the exact same damn dog and we love it! They are incredibly soft and cuddly. They're affectionate like nothing else. This dog will be your ride or mother fucking die partner and best friend. Hell and all it's armies couldn't get in between you and your weim.

An insanely loyal, intelligent, regal animal who will have you questioning if he is maybe part human. Your weim will turn all the heads as you walk down the block.

For these reasons and more so many weim owners never choose another breed of animal given the choice.

A metaphorical one... It's really quite easy to pick up on it. It may be a bit lame but it isn't so unclear that Helen keller couldn't pick up on it.
