00:00NFL insider Diana Russini, seen in photos with Patriot head coach Mike Vrabel.
00:05And then the latest turn of this story is, I guess, people kind of pressured the Athletic slash New York
00:11Times
00:11because they didn't like the initial response.
00:13So now they are reinvestigating exactly what went down.
00:19I anxiously await finding out the answer to that.
00:22Well, I mean, it's pitchers.
00:25And it's not a good look, I'll say that.
00:27It's not.
00:27But at the same time, it's hard to tell what they're doing.
00:30They're sitting beside each other in a pool.
00:31Video would have been a little bit more revealing because you can try and gauge a little bit more context.
00:36You told me more context than I knew about it as far as where they were at this time
00:40and who was in Arizona and all those different things.
00:42And then my first initial reaction was, like, she's big in the football realm.
00:49Obviously, he's the head coach of the New York Patriots.
00:52But they're not, in my opinion, to be where paparazzi is hanging out or something like that.
00:56They sell pitchers.
00:57So then my first thought was, initial thought was, that's a PI photo.
01:01Like, somebody's spouse got a – but then I go back and think again, like, isn't that ethics?
01:05You can't do that as far as your job.
01:08You're a private investigator and then you sell photos to the –
01:11Page six.
01:11Page six.
01:12So –
01:13By the way, if –
01:15It's probably not her job that would have hired a PI or they would have published, right?
01:19Yeah.
01:20Like, it came out in New York Post.
01:22Yeah.
01:23Page six is like a total old school – by the way, they kept calling – the page six article,
01:29the original article with the photos is really, really funny.
01:33And they kept calling whoever took these pictures or whoever they got reports from their spies.
01:40They're spies.
01:40Yeah.
01:40Like, you're not a spy, man.
01:41I don't know.
01:43Again, I don't know.
01:44I don't know.
01:45But it's not a good look.
01:46And unfortunately for her, she's getting the blunt of the blowback.
01:51And that's unfortunate but also not exactly unexpected either.
01:56No, it's not.
01:56So we'll see how that one ends up.
01:58Another one that's kind of making the rounds this morning and yesterday,
02:03top draft prospect out of Miami, Reuben Bain Jr., was involved in a 2024 car accident
02:08that ultimately led to one death.
02:11And reportedly all NFL teams have been made aware, really already were aware.
02:16This is not a story that was buried.
02:19Maybe to the public it was buried, but it wasn't really buried.
02:24And so it is taking a lot of people back.
02:26But again –
02:28Yesterday when I saw this, I didn't know.
02:30I never heard the situation, everything like that.
02:33Then you look more, you look at when it happened.
02:35And then obviously you look at the family's response of this young lady that lost her life.
02:41And they were like, why is this coming back up?
02:44They're not happy.
02:44They're not happy about that.
02:45They don't want to be drug back to it.
02:47Exactly.
02:47And so because now you talk about paid sicks, there's people reaching out to them now about –
02:52Oh, it already happened.
02:52Oh, yeah.
02:53About what goes on there.
02:55But we understand this is an unfortunate situation that, again, I didn't know that it happened.
02:59But that's why I was like, damn, it's been that long ago.
03:01And this is my first time, and a lot of our first time hearing it.
03:03Yeah.
03:04You know, and so – and it's always that thing where – I mean, you were talking off air.
03:07Around draft time, these things come up.
03:09You got to remember, this was his sophomore year.
03:11We didn't really know who was.
03:13Exactly.
03:13And it's different if it had happened.
03:15It had happened.
03:15And it's always around this time where these stories come up.
03:18Whoever first reported this was probably sitting on it until this time, you know.
03:23That's the thing there.
03:24Yeah.
03:24Yeah.
03:25UFL coach Ted Ginn Jr.
03:27What the hell Ted even done?
03:28Ahead of game – he charged with a DUI in Texas ahead of Sunday's game.
03:32Damn, Teddy.
03:33He put out a pretty nice apology in regards to, like, he owns it.
03:37It's a mistake.
03:37He's got to be better.
03:38He's going to do better.
03:40I don't think he probably feels he needs, like, to get help the way Tiger does.
03:45Sorry, Tiger.
03:46And so, I don't think he went, like, that far.
03:49But I do think it was a relatively mature response.
03:52So, there you go.
03:54Damn it, Teddy.
03:56Falcons exercise fifth-year option on Bajon Robinson.
03:58Oh, I'm not surprised.
03:59I know we were talking before we left about, you know, obviously him and Drake London are eligible for extensions.
04:04And I know – I think it was Joe Patrick said that he thought Bajon would get one sooner rather
04:08than later.
04:09And I know Ian Cunningham was talking about both players as far as the contract extensions is something they want
04:13to get to after the draft.
04:14So, I wouldn't be surprised before training camp that both deals are done.
04:17We'll talk about it at 120.
04:19I have some questions about this because I think there's a chance it gets weird.
04:24What?
04:26The situation of Drake, Bajon, both waiting extensions.
04:31I think there's a chance it gets weird.
04:32All right.
04:35Buccaneers could reportedly be preparing a, quote, big extension for Baker Mayfield.
04:39I would want to see one more year here.
04:42Because I'm a little iffy on where his career is headed right now.
04:45It's not even that.
04:45I think you want to look at it more or less also where you are with the head coach and
04:51all those different things.
04:52And if the new guy comes in, they want Baker and things like that.
04:55But Baker's done –
04:56You might want to see where that draft pick is this year considering the class.
04:59Because I think that's the one thing about it.
05:01Baker's done everything they've asked them to do when he came over from Cleveland.
05:04I mean, obviously you want to win a championship.
05:06But nobody – I didn't expect Baker to play the way he's played since he's been in Tampa.
05:10Well, you know, and –
05:11I'm concerned about how he's playing now and next year.
05:14But it's crazy because remember when we were talking –
05:14It was a couple years ago when they signed him.
05:16We were like, you said why the Falcons don't sign Baker Mayfield.
05:19I was a big supporter of Baker.
05:20Yeah, you were.
05:21We were all –
05:21We were like, really?
05:22Yeah, I know.
05:23Baker?
05:23But, I mean, he's played better than any quarterback he's played since he's been in Tampa.
05:27Well, here's the thing.
05:28In Miami?
05:28Depending on where your draft pick is, you might have to.
05:31There's a possibility.
05:32You also know the alternative of not having Baker might be, you know, no Mansville.
05:37Travis Hunter questioned Ian Rappaport after the suggestion that he's going to be mainly a cornerback this season.
05:43I love the fact –
05:44He said, who told you this?
05:45I love the fact that Travis did it.
05:46It could be still true in all those different things.
05:49It kind of needs – in my opinion, it needs to be true.
05:51I've always said that.
05:52I've always said that.
05:52You and I have been aligned on, like, his premier NFL position.
05:58But his athleticism often – like, you can be a part-time receiver.
06:01He could be a really good receiver.
06:03He's never going to be one of the five best receivers in the NFL.
06:06No.
06:06He could be one of the five best corners in the NFL.
06:08Yeah, he has that type of ability.
06:10So, we'll see how that goes.
06:11But I like how Travis – how he said that.
06:14Because my thing, when these things come out –
06:15Who told you this?
06:16When these things come out, you're like, they all sit there and told Ian Rappaport this.
06:19Yeah.
06:20Like, how did this get to him?
06:21Like, who's in our locker room?
06:23No matter who – who's in these scouting or who's in these coaches meeting that is sitting
06:27or has given him the heads up?
06:29Because I don't know Ian personally, but he's not the type of guy that's going to make something
06:32up off the top of his head.
06:33But, like, come on, man.
06:35The Eagles trade a couple draft picks to the Packers for wide receiver Dontavian Wicks.
06:40He's going to sign a one-year deal with the Eagles an additional year.
06:44A lot of people are tying it to this A.J. Brown.
06:47Are you headed there?
06:48Yeah.
06:48Because we talked about – before we left and everything, and the more comes out is, like,
06:52the cap relief they get if it's after June 1st.
06:54Right.
06:55And so that, to me, with this right here, they might go –
06:57You're talking about trade, though, not cut.
06:59Yeah.
06:59No, no, no.
06:59They're not going to cut him.
07:00No, no.
07:01Because they're going to get stuff for him.
07:02I mean, a lot of people here June 1st, they think you're –
07:04Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
07:05Releasing a guy.
07:06No, they're not going to cut him.
07:07Yeah.
07:07They're going to – because they're going to get a nice little – nice package.
07:10Now, this is one of the things where you would like to get it before this draft.
07:12You can use those draft picks.
07:13There's going to be for next year's draft and a player, possibly.
07:16But, yeah, this is – yeah, this just seemed like it's had legs for the last couple years.
07:21And, you know, before we left, there was a whole bunch of stuff coming out, you know,
07:25as far as how people feel about Jalen Hurts in that building and all those different things.
07:29And I go back to – this dude's had a different offensive coordinator seven straight seasons,
07:34which is crazy to me.
07:35Which is crazy.
07:36Considering what they have been up there – and I know Philly is Philly.
07:41It's the most negative fan base I've ever seen.
07:44Like, considering how good and competitive that team has been for a number of years now,
07:48they got Super Bowls.
07:50I wish this team had Philly football problems.
07:52Not all the other stuff in Philly.
07:53I'd love to see the Philly fans and Philly media have to deal with what Falcons fans have dealt with.
08:00Yes.
08:01Like, you think they're crying about A.J. Brown and Jalen Hurts?
08:04They might burn the link now.
08:05Give them Marcus Mariota.
08:08He was there.
08:09Desmond – yeah, but he didn't play.
08:11Give them Desmond Ritter.
08:13I mean, my goodness.
08:16Anyways, that's Philly fans for you.
08:18Oh!
