00:00Final comment for me at least I think for the foreseeable future on the Mike
00:04Vrabel scandal with Dan Rossini yeah obviously new stuff comes across our
00:08desk next week we'll handle it as appropriate but the last update that I
00:14saw coming in this morning was that the tape had been shopped around so obviously
00:19the person that I you know photograph them knew exactly what they were doing
00:23yeah it was someone that was specifically there to try to I guess
00:25catch them specifically and then wanted that they wanted the photos to be out
00:29there they went to TMZ TMZ amazingly said no to the photos yes which seems like
00:36that goes against what teams he was built for I know these not the most you know
00:40biggest celebrities in the world but you see what the result has been of their
00:44photos being leaked yeah I think teams he probably regrets the fact that they didn't
00:48buy them but I was more interested in how much they sold for so the whoever the
00:52person is that took the photos and shopped the photos I guess the week prior to
00:56this one before they went public with the New York Post and page six did you see
01:01how much money it was it wasn't a lot it was eight grand yeah and it's become the
01:07biggest story in this country outside of more serious things like what's happening
01:11in Iran and the ceasefire and all that kind of you know very important stuff in
01:15our country in our world but that would bother me ego-wise like if I was either one
01:21of these two people like if you took the time to secretly photograph somebody right
01:26yeah and then a shop those photographs around and then you feel like if you're
01:31one of those two and you find out that those photographs which have forever altered
01:37at least for her maybe her career path for him his reputation and maybe it much
01:42worse than that we'll see how this whole thing plays out and they were bought for
01:46only eight grand I would feel some kind of way about that I'd be furious right
01:52that's all I'm worth like what's the right number for you like 25 grand 50
01:55grand 100 grand well for me like what's the going rate yeah like I feel like right
02:00now maybe it wouldn't be eight grand but if I'm at the top of my field like these
02:04two are yeah I'm gonna need a hundred grand at least five figures right yeah I mean
02:09come on if I'm at the top of my field like so then I'm already thinking like why are we
02:13spending so much time talking about something that sold for eight grand yeah maybe it's not
02:18that big a story I didn't talk about the banana with duct tape on it at art basil that sold
02:24for a
02:24million five right perhaps but I talked about this all week that's right you made a mistake there
02:29perhaps in your editorial decision I should have talked about the banana I think so yes posing as
02:34art yes now there is another thing that's out there now oh what is the other thing that is
02:39they're saying that perhaps yeah TMZ turning turning it down and how accurate they are they
02:45take pictures from influencers or whatever yeah this is perhaps mean that the there's no veracity to
02:52the story no I because the pictures are the pictures like just because you put them out
02:56you're you obviously you're making a suggestion of what's going on right but what if there was another
03:01what if TMZ knows that right next to that bungalow yeah for example was um her husband
03:09his wife like perhaps yeah I don't think that's about she said she said it was a group trip that's
03:16yeah and they've never produced a single person on that trip not a photo or no not a person but
03:20they said it was a group trip and there were six other people there yeah if TMZ knew there were
03:25six
03:25other people there yeah perhaps is that why they turned down the photo yeah I don't know and then I
03:29was thinking you know and I might have been the first one to say this on a microphone and it
03:32doesn't
03:32matter if I was or wasn't that those pictures were taken by somebody hired to take them in my opinion
03:37or somebody that knew what they were up to yeah and wanted to out both of them right so then
03:41I
03:41started thinking who are the most likely people to hire someone to take the pictures obviously a
03:46spouse is the first place you go easy right whether it's his wife or her husband that's the obvious
03:51first place to go I want to catch them in the act so then I can use that for divorce
03:55proceedings
03:56I get as much money as possible not that you know she makes more than a husband I don't know
04:00what
04:00Mrs. Rabel does or doesn't do but he makes more than her but you you get the point there right
04:04and then I started thinking maybe it wasn't a spouse at all because there is another possibility
04:12for who would have wanted to make them both look bad okay and that would be somebody who's well aware
04:19that they had they're having a relationship so they know they're having it right yeah and that would
04:25mean it's either a fellow coach a player or another insider huh so for example right for example this
04:37is just an example to make it clear Adam Schefter says oh yeah I don't like that you're not thinking
04:43it's Adam Schefter but yes an example that type of thing like who does she compete the most with
04:47right right there might be someone saying wow if she were out of the way maybe I become the senior
04:54NFL insider for the athletic oh right yeah because for the whole week I was saying it's a spouse it's
05:02a
05:02setup you know it's a professional photographer that kind of stuff then we find out they were shopped
05:07right right now if you hire a private investigator to take pictures for a divorce proceeding you're not
05:14shopping those pictures you want you actually want to you're just using them for your own personal
05:18benefit you don't want anyone to see them actually you want to file get everything done and then have
05:22a gotcha moment so why would somebody shop them well you shop them because you want people to see
05:27them yeah who would want people to see those photographs to embarrass them publicly yeah right that
05:35makes a lot of sense so then I start thinking all right who is Mike Vrabel wronged right who is
05:40the
05:41Patriots head coach last year he's not employed right now oh what player got cut by Mike Vrabel
05:47a lot of that might have a Jones against it could be a lot of them NFL you what insiders
05:51like I'm sick
05:52and tired of having to give my stories and my work you know to the senior reporter and I don't
05:57know if
05:57that's how it works to the athletic but I know that's how it works at ESPN you know because back
06:01in the
06:01day a very very close friend of mine someone you know as well Tyrone told me that the deal
06:06at ESPN back in the day was that if you broke an NFL story you had to give that story
06:13to Chris
06:14Mortensen so that he could break it to keep up the image that he was the most well-connected NFL
06:20insider at ESPN and there were a lot of reporters at ESPN back in the day I'm not sure if
06:25it's still
06:26the case when it comes to Adam Schefter but I believe it might be where if you're like at the
06:31bottom end on the totem pole like you're the youngest reporter at ESPN and you've got great
06:36sources and you have a breaking story you first have to give that story to at the time it was
06:42Chris
06:42Mortensen and that he was allowed to break the story based on your work and you got no credit for
06:48it
06:48huh now I do know at ESPN that you have to sometimes put on who you are you have to
06:54actually
06:55give your story to Adam Schefter for him to confirm it before ESPN will then run with it
07:00so maybe you're a pissed off insider at the athletic and you're like this is my way to the top
07:06either way somebody made a point of trying to catch them specifically in the act you know this was not
07:14a random thing where I'm just messing around my camera uh you're in a resort for lovers uh in Arizona
07:21and I happened upon this someone wanted to get them specifically and knew that they would be there
07:27that's true but what if rabble's in them streets and there was another woman yeah who was jealous of
07:33her that's all on the table so if something new happens we'll talk about it if not that's the last
07:38we'll talk about it on this show
07:40you
