00:00I hope this is the final thing I say about Mike Rabel until football starts again.
00:09Assuming he's even coaching the Patriots when the season starts.
00:13But what happened yesterday, or I guess, I don't know if it was yesterday.
00:17I saw the video yesterday.
00:19I imagine it was probably Sunday or Monday.
00:21I think it was Monday morning coming back to go to work.
00:24From Salt Lake City, yeah?
00:25Yeah.
00:25So a TMZ Sports videographer decides to wait at the airport to sandbag Mike Rabel as he arrives back in
00:34New England to resume his duties as the head coach of the Patriots.
00:37Play the video here, guys, if you can.
00:40Mr. Rabel, how are you, sir?
00:41Good, good.
00:43How are you holding up?
00:43How are you holding up, man?
00:47Look, listen, there's just a lot of talk that, you know, that there's just a little bit of a double
00:51standard here.
00:52I just wanted your take on that.
00:54Are you doing all right?
00:55Yeah, no, thank you.
00:56I appreciate you.
00:57Kind of power, you're powering through?
01:02Are you and your wife hoping to work it out, Mr. Rabel?
01:08Look, I'm just going to, I just got to say, there's some talk that maybe you should step down.
01:12It's a distraction to the Patriots.
01:14I wanted your opinion on that, sir.
01:17What does accountability look like for you at this point, sir?
01:22Head coach to the Patriots.
01:23Big distraction here.
01:28Sir, is there any comment at all?
01:37Sir, do you have the support of the Patriots?
01:41Full support.
01:43Any comment, anything to say to Patriot Nation at all?
01:52All right, good luck.
01:54Good luck.
01:55That's Team Z Sports.
01:56Remember, Team Z didn't want to cover this at first, and now they have a guy stalking Mike Vrabel from
02:02the airport all the way to his car in the parking lot.
02:08Like, that's a little much.
02:09It's too much.
02:10Crossed the line a little bit on that one?
02:12Yeah.
02:12Like, at the end of the day, he didn't break the law.
02:17No.
02:17Right?
02:18He didn't break the law.
02:19At the end of the day, he didn't steal nuclear secrets and give them to the Russians.
02:24Right?
02:25He didn't even sell inside information about orange derivatives to put Duke and Duke out of business.
02:33He didn't do any of that.
02:34Right?
02:35Right.
02:35And also, his job, we've got to put his job where it is.
02:38He's a football coach.
02:39He's not a president.
02:40He's not a senator.
02:41He's a football coach.
02:43Right.
02:43He's like a meaningless human being.
02:45Right.
02:45At the end of the day.
02:46And Vrabel, in my opinion, showed tremendous restraint because the first time he says thank you, once I get outside
02:54the airport.
02:54Like, leave me alone, dude.
02:55Like, the guy's alone.
02:56But he knows if he says something or he, like, bows up to the guy.
03:00Uh-huh.
03:00That becomes a bigger story.
03:02And, by the way, as much as the Patriots have supported him, if anything else happens, he's done.
03:07Oh, he's gone.
03:07Yeah, he can't do anything else.
03:08Right.
03:08But I'm just, I'm watching that going, like, I get it.
03:11It's scandalous.
03:12Everyone wants a piece of it now.
03:14But, like, he didn't, like, we're following a guy that cheated on his wife?
03:18Yeah, it's too much.
03:20And then what's accountability look like?
03:22When you ask a question like that, it's just to be a jerk because what can he say?
03:26What could he possibly have said there?
03:28Now, that being said, because I do think that crossed the line, and I do think it's overkill
03:33at this point.
03:33Yeah.
03:34With one caveat, if I may.
03:36Uh-huh.
03:37One caveat and only one caveat.
03:41If you told me as a fact, okay, that that videographer was hired by the New York Jets,
03:51then I'm 100% faithful.
03:53Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on, hold on.
03:53I want to be very clear about that.
03:55Whoa, whoa, whoa.
03:55I think it's overkill.
03:57It is.
03:58I think it's wrong.
03:59It is wrong.
04:00As bad as what he might have done, I don't think he deserves that.
04:04I agree.
04:05Okay?
04:05So you're doing great.
04:06But if you told me this was the Jets' way to get back at the Patriots, I fully support
04:14it.
04:14Whoa, hold on.
04:15So your morality goes out of the window if it's your favorite football team?
04:19That's right.
04:20That's right.
04:20You just, there's just.
04:21100%.
04:22No morality at all.
04:23As a matter of fact, if Darren Moogie, my GM, treats on his wife, you ain't going to hear
04:27nothing from me.
04:28That dude's doing a great job.
04:29That's right.
04:30So that's why.
04:31As soon as you have a four-game loser streak, though, you'll be ready to get rid of him again.
04:34If you came in here today and said, hey, Craig, I tell you, there's photographs of the Jets'
04:38GM in Sedona with someone with Ian Rappaport.
04:42Yeah.
04:42All right?
04:43Going to town.
04:44And you're like, hey, let's do a topping on it?
04:47Mm-hmm.
04:48Bring it up to you.
04:49Go ahead.
04:49All right, listen.
04:50I don't want to do this to you, but you know your GM, he's a hot name right now.
04:53Yeah, they caught him out in Sedona.
04:56There's pictures of him at the resort with Ian Rappaport.
05:00They're in a hot tub.
05:02Their hands are locked together.
05:04Ooh.
05:04There's hugs.
05:05Where's my GM happy?
05:06He seemed very happy.
05:08I got nothing else to say.
