00:00But I'm wondering how this, like, carries into the year.
00:02We were kicking around the idea of just, like, road games.
00:05And Mike Vrabel's going to have to have a pretty thick skin
00:07because I'm sure some of the signs, some of the things the fans are saying
00:10and doing, it's going to, like, I think it has a chance to be a bit of a
00:16sideshow throughout the season.
00:17Do you see it that way at all?
00:19Yeah, definitely.
00:20I think the fallout continues.
00:23I mean, we're down to playlists.
00:25Right.
00:25And taking pictures of a guy at a Utah airport and presuming that that's,
00:30you know, an apology gift and measuring how long his counseling session was.
00:37So, I mean, there's nothing really happening,
00:39so we're generating things that are happening.
00:41And that's not going to end until something moves it to a level of, okay,
00:47the storm's over.
00:48Let's assess the damage.
00:50So, and that's what's interesting about that.
00:52The forecast, you know, there was a Daily Mail piece.
00:54We're going to talk about it on BST tonight.
00:57And we talked about it a little bit yesterday is, you know,
01:00what's the forecast for Mike Vrabel is continuing as head coach of the team.
01:05And you would presume that it's highly, highly, highly likely.
01:09But you really can't forecast until the storm's over.
01:13And I don't think the storm is necessarily over,
01:16just in the fallout that continues to drip and drab
01:18and the feeding on the carcass that continues.
01:21Okay.
01:22So, it's interesting you brought that up because I was about to ask you about
01:24that Daily Mail piece.
01:25And, you know, the crux of it is Vrabel's probably safe
01:28and the Patriots aren't looking to make any moves.
01:30But if they did, Mike Tomlin is a name being kicked around,
01:34which is interesting on a bunch of levels.
01:35Like, number one, what would that be like?
01:38Number two, it wouldn't just be, according to this story,
01:41Josh McDaniels or Doug Marone or someone on staff
01:44who's already had head coaching experience.
01:47So, I think there's a lot of layers to that.
01:49I mean, do you think the crafts have to be thinking about plan B, C, D,
01:53if something does surprise them or go sideways with Vrabel?
01:57Just based on that article and the sourcing,
01:59and I don't know who they might have talked to,
02:01but if they're reporting that that happened, again,
02:04I'll play Mickey the Dunst and believe what I'm told.
02:06So, it would seem that they're at least forecasting that,
02:11but it also said that, you know, they're basically,
02:13I don't know if they said that, but ride or die with Vrabel
02:15and are willing to stand by him.
02:18So, I think that was the ending upshot,
02:21but certainly it's probably not a bad idea to forecast
02:25what you would do if the dribs and drabs continue
02:29and the leaking continues.
02:30The beatings will continue until morale improves.
