00:00to the Vrabel presser, where he just really only talked about it
00:03for about two minutes or so.
00:04I think Valdez has the audio.
00:06I don't know if you're going to play it from start to finish.
00:09No, we can start it when he really addresses it,
00:12but he basically said thank you for being patient and letting me speak
00:17and then was hyping up the draft and then addressed it by saying this.
00:20You know, I've had some difficult conversations with people that I care about,
00:23with my family, the organization, the coaches, the players.
00:29Those have been positive and productive.
00:31You know, we believe in order to be successful on and off the field,
00:35you have to make good decisions.
00:36That includes me.
00:38That starts with me.
00:40We never want our actions to negatively affect the team.
00:44We never want to be the cause of a distraction.
00:48You know, and those are comments and questions that I've answered for the team
00:52and with the team, we'll keep those private and, you know, to ourselves.
00:58I care deeply about this football team, and I'm excited to coach them.
01:03I also know that I'm going to attack each day with humility and focus.
01:10And what I can promise you is that my family, this organization, the team, the staff,
01:16the coaches, everybody, our fans, most importantly,
01:19will get the best version of me going forward.
01:22And that's what I know, and I'm excited to do that.
01:25But I wanted to, one, just address this,
01:28and thank you for your patience in dealing with the private and personal matter.
01:34What was the next question?
01:36I didn't see that.
01:37I'm sure there was a follow-up.
01:39I'm not sure if there was.
01:40He got slammed.
01:53Or what he was doing there.
01:54I mean, of course not.
01:55I've said it on the record.
01:56I support Diana.
01:57So whatever she says, public eye, I support her.
02:00Without, it doesn't matter.
02:01She's my friend.
02:01I'm not going to trash her.
02:02You guys can do whatever you want to do.
02:04I support Diana.
02:05She's a friend.
02:07But let's just assume, though, that they were having a wild affair,
02:11and he still kind of cares about it.
02:13He's not going to throw her under the bus at a press conference.
02:15You know what I mean?
02:16So I don't know what people would expect him to say.
02:19To me, it was almost like confirmation.
02:21But, hey, it's private.
02:22It's fine.
02:23That's a private thing.
02:24You know, I saw this on BroBible or somewhere,
02:27and I didn't really look into it deep.
02:30The one thing is, Rossini apparently said she was on a girl's trip,
02:33and one person pointed out, it's like, well, she could easily provide pictures.
02:37Of course.
02:38And didn't.
02:38Of course.
02:39Like, what girl's trip do girls not take pictures?
02:42Right.
02:42Everyone's read that report, and that's a valid argument.
02:45Of course.
02:46Yeah, but BroBible lied then two weeks ago.
02:48Yeah.
02:49When he said, everybody lies when they're caught if they're doing something.
02:52Everybody lies.
02:53I mean, it was stone-cold obvious what they were doing.
02:55Then they had this rehearsed press release from the two of them
02:59that they were not what it seems, and these accusations are ridiculous.
03:03And now he's saying he's having a difficult conversation.
03:05I think everybody kind of understands probably what happened.
03:08I think that was kind of a BS.
03:10What else could he have said?
03:11I'm sorry.
03:12What would you have liked him to have said?
03:13I'm sorry.
03:13I made a mistake.
03:15I made bad decisions.
03:16He doesn't say anything.
03:17He doesn't take accountability.
03:18He's talking about accountability.
03:19He takes zero accountability in that.
03:21He kind of does when he said I had difficult conversations with people.
03:25That's how he's saying it.
03:26Yeah, and you're going to get half out of it.
03:27It's the wording.
03:28It's just the wording.
03:29Why do you need an apology?
03:30Why do you?
03:31Let's say you're a Pats fan.
03:32I don't need Vrabel to talk at all, but don't go up there and lie again to me.
03:35I don't think he lied.
03:36I think it's sort of unspoken what he's saying.
03:39I don't think he lied.
03:40I think maybe he lied the first time, but this time he's just trying to be delicate with it.
03:45As E.B. said, he's not going to give you details.
03:48He's not going to tell you all that.
03:48He's saying, look, I've got my family I've got to deal with.
03:51The last couple weeks I've been dealing with my family, my wife, and all that stuff.
03:56I've had difficult conversations.
03:57That's how he sums that up.
03:59And then he's basically saying, he's trying to make a quick transition, saying, still focused
04:03on the team and the draft.
04:05Talk to the players.
04:06My whole focus is on that.
04:08Yeah.
04:09I mean, I think we all understand what he's saying now is different than what he said
04:13two weeks ago.
04:14Of course.
04:15Of course.
04:16I think he said a bunch of nothing yesterday.
04:19He's classic coach speak.
04:21He's not going to.
04:22He said nothing, but what else is he going to say?
04:23I think he said by saying, hey, I've had difficult conversations.
04:26You can read between the lines what that means.
04:29If there was nothing going on at all, 100%, zero, and nothing, you know, maybe even it
04:35was just, because again, I support Diana.
04:36Whatever she says publicly, I support her.
04:38I have no idea.
04:39But if it was just like, if he just was like, you know what?
04:42Nothing actually did happen, but I will admit I was inappropriately close to her.
04:46You know, it was, you know what I'm saying?
04:48I don't understand what you're saying.
04:50Emotional cheating or something.
04:51Who knows?
04:52I have no idea.
04:53You say you believe Diana, but now you're saying Vrabel's telling the truth, that he's
04:56admitting that they're inappropriate.
04:57So which one is it?
04:58Here's what I'm saying.
04:59I support whatever Racini says.
05:01I support whatever Racini says.
05:02He says he supports it.
05:03He doesn't necessarily believe.
05:04I support whatever she says.
05:05She's a friend of mine.
05:06Believe what she says.
05:06We get it.
05:06We get it.
05:07This is what Racini said right after the photos came out.
05:11The photos don't represent the group of six people who were hanging out during the day.
05:15Like most journalists in the NFL, reporters interact with sources away from stadiums and other
05:20venues.
05:21Right.
05:21That's what she said.
05:22That was her general answer.
05:24But, I mean, anyone with a brain knows that they were doing something.
05:27Well, if you saw pictures of the group of six, then I would buy into it to an extent.
05:32And allegedly, they asked for that stuff and they weren't able to come up with anything.
05:36Weren't able to produce anything.
05:36So you could do your own math on it.
05:38All I'm saying is I just support her.
05:39I actually feel bad because you know there's all kinds of probably potentially so-called
05:44inappropriate relationships that happen all over the sports world.
05:47And, you know, she's going to have to suffer the consequences more than Mike.
05:52Mike, you know, did a 30-second thing and it's on to the next.
05:55Yeah, I mean, he didn't lose his job.
05:56And the truth is, all fans care about, especially the New England fans, is whether the team's
06:01going to deliver wins.
06:02Totally.
06:03Of course.
06:03And they probably care more about the rumor, and it seems to be more than a rumor, that
06:09A.J.
06:09Brown is going to land in New England.
06:11Now, it might be on June 1st.
06:13But A.J.
06:14Brown to the Patriots, the team that made it to the Super Bowl, that's a big addition.
06:19Well, fans don't care whether their coach is having some sort of illicit affair.
06:25If that's what was happening, they don't care.
06:27They just want a good coach.
06:29It's going to coach your team to wins and get them to Super Bowls and hopefully win
06:33the Super Bowl.
06:33Yeah.
06:34They couldn't care less about what's happening in their personal lives.
06:37But the media wants their piece of flesh.
06:40I think it sounds like Drabby wants his flesh.
06:42Pound the flesh.
06:43He wants his wound.
06:44No, I'd actually just prefer him not to talk at all.
06:46Don't go up there and just half-ass it and talk about accountability when you're not
06:50taking accountability.
06:51Well, he did.
06:51He knew he had to talk about it.
06:53He said, according to him, he's had tough conversations with his team and his ownership and family and friends.
06:58He doesn't have to have it with you.
07:00I don't care what Mike Vrabel does.
07:02That's his business, as is Diana's.
07:05But I just don't like the speech he gave yesterday.
07:07I just thought it was more lying.
07:09It was very general.
07:10Your opinion was the general consensus.
07:14The team apparently tried to squash the pictures from coming out in the first place.
07:20The team.
07:21I'm sure they did.
07:22I think they were in negotiations for days.
07:23They would sweep that under the rug.
07:25They don't want controversy.
07:26Yeah, for sure.
07:31Who actually took the pictures?
07:34Well, nobody knows.
07:35Was it a PI?
07:36The allegation is there's no proof of it yet, but the allegation is people are assuming it
07:41might have been Diana's husband.
07:43But there's been no...
07:44There's been no...
07:45It wasn't her husband taking it.
07:46He hired someone.
07:48Yes.
07:48But there's been no indication that that's true.
07:51That's been what the rumor is.
07:52I could tell you, when I looked at it, that looked like...
07:56That wasn't like just somebody at the resort.
07:58That looked like somebody with a big lens from somewhere.
08:01Yeah, who'd been like he was on a rooftop?
08:02Yeah.
08:03A thousand yards away.
08:05Yeah.
08:05That didn't look like just some guy taking a shot.
08:08Hey, here's Coach Rabel.
08:09Yeah, no, I agree.
08:10Yeah.
08:10But who knows?
08:11So maybe Rossini's husband had, you know, he suspected something and hired somebody and
08:16they've traveled around.
08:17Or his wife.
08:18You just don't know.
08:19Yeah, true.
08:19Could have been his wife.
08:20Who knows?
08:20Didn't her husband initially back her?
08:22Yes.
08:22That's why I think maybe it's not him.
08:25I mean, that's what people are assuming.
08:27But allegedly, he came out and supported her.
08:29So, who knows?
08:31Do you think A.J. Brown puts the Patriots over the top?
08:34He's an upgrade over Stefan Diggs.
08:37It's going to help.
08:38Essentially, he's replacing Stefan Diggs.
08:51I heard somebody make a point.
08:52This would be the most pass-friendly offense he's ever been part of.
08:56Because he was with the Titans, who were a run-heavy team with Derrick Henry.
09:03Philadelphia, yeah.
09:03And then in Philadelphia, you've got Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, run-heavy team.
09:08That this might be the first chance where he could really blossom.
09:14Yeah.
09:14I mean, wouldn't you like to have A.J. Brown on your team?
09:19As long as he wasn't a headache.
09:20Correct.
09:21I mean, when he's not a headache, he's happy.
09:23He's trying hard.
09:23He puts up numbers.
09:24Yep.
09:26And, you know, give May another weapon.
09:28I'd rather have Brown than Diggs.
09:30Remember, coming up at 8 o'clock, we are drafting the Draft Insiders.
09:35Money is on the line.
09:36You want to tune in for that.
09:37That's at 8 o'clock here on the Junkies.
09:39That's at 8 o'clock here on the Junkies.
09:39That's at 8 o'clock here on the Junkies.
09:39That's at 9 o'clock here on the Junkies.
