00:00We're not sure if Mike Vrabel is going to get through
00:02the latest controversy with Diana Rossini.
00:06Give us the update.
00:07This story just keeps growing legs,
00:10and the latest is that Diana Rossini and Mike Vrabel
00:14took a boating trip together, just the two of them,
00:19back in June of 2021 while Rossini was pregnant.
00:23This is according to TMZ.
00:25They obtained photos of a rental agreement with both Vrabel
00:28and Rossini's signatures on it.
00:31The NFL duo booked the vessel in Putnam County, Tennessee,
00:35back in June 2021, according to a source with direct knowledge,
00:38who says the then-Tennessee Titans head coach and the journalist
00:42were the only people aboard for their two- to three-hour rental.
00:46What's crazy is that the company still has waivers from 2021,
00:52and you see both of them with their signatures on there.
00:55Do you think if TMZ isn't on a hunt for you that they're-
00:59They're not going to get it.
01:00They're not going to uncover everything.
01:01You're not listening.
01:03I said what's crazy is the company still has the waivers.
01:05Well, they-
01:06Why would they keep a waiver from 2021?
01:08Because they're a reputable boat rental company.
01:11I don't know.
01:12But there's a picture.
01:13Not everybody deletes everything in two seconds like you.
01:15Two seconds?
01:16Six years?
01:17I know, but people keep records.
01:18I know, but people have memories.
01:20It might be the owners who can't believe that time Mike Vrabel came in
01:23and rented a boat from him.
01:25The TMZ-
01:26That's the thing that's so interesting.
01:28And again, you know, Diana was a friend of the show for a long time.
01:32I haven't spoken to her in years, but, you know,
01:34I just feel bad about the whole situation.
01:36I'm guessing you're not going to speak to her for more years.
01:37Well, I'm not going to bother.
01:39But what just blows me away is that,
01:44let's say they were having something going on,
01:47and clearly they had a relationship.
01:48To be out so in public about it is what's so wild.
01:51Like, he was an NFL head coach at that time.
01:54Now, Diana seemed like the smarter-
01:55Diana's a TV personality.
01:57She seemed like the smarter of the two in this incident.
01:59Big time risk.
02:00The TMZ report indicates that Rossini declined to take photos
02:04with any of the staff at the marina.
02:06Yeah.
02:07While Vrabel took one photo,
02:09but requested that it not be posted on social media.
02:13Right.
02:13Yeah, but then they had pictures at a casino soon thereafter.
02:16Look, they were hanging out all the time.
02:18That's the bottom line.
02:19There's no denying.
02:20Hanging out in that time frame.
02:23She happened to be pregnant at the time.
02:25Here's my thought,
02:25and I know he's not going to say it like this
02:27because I think he basically said it
02:29in his first press conference.
02:32People are wondering if he's going to get fired for this.
02:34Uh-huh.
02:35I don't think so.
02:36Like, what if he just went out in front and said,
02:38you know what?
02:38I made a bad decision.
02:39I had an affair.
02:40Yeah.
02:41But I have 100% of me into this team,
02:44and I want to coach,
02:45and we're moving forward.
02:46That's kind of what he said.
02:47Right.
02:48I said it's kind of what he said.
02:49I know.
02:49I feel like they want more because they want him to,
02:53the media in general,
02:54they want him to just spill his guts,
02:58and they're just going to keep bringing it up.
03:00They're just going to keep bringing it up.
03:01Yeah, the media wants him to resign or get fired.
03:03They just want blood.
03:07They keep bringing it up.
03:07I feel like if he survived this far,
03:10that he's probably going to survive it.
03:12I think so, too.
03:13I think so.
03:14He did get a standing ovation,
03:17but you saw the Patriots had something
03:18with their season ticket holders or whatever.
03:20Like two weeks ago, he got a standing ovation.
03:22I mean, just let him to the Super Bowl.
03:23Yeah, they went to the Super Bowl.
03:24If they went 4-13, okay, he's probably fired.
03:27Yeah, it makes it easier to fire him.
03:29Sure.
03:29But if you go to the Super Bowl, it's hard to do that.
03:31If you're winning, the fans and the fan base
03:33couldn't care less what you're doing
03:35as far as potential extramarital affairs.
03:38Don't you think it's at the point
03:39where everyone's uncomfortable with it all?
03:40Aren't you kind of uncomfortable
03:42reading the newest, latest, salacious bind on it?
03:46I think we all kind of get the picture.
03:48It's definitely invasive, but it's enough already.
03:52It is kind of titillating.
03:54I'll be honest.
03:55It is.
03:56I am just being honest.
03:57It's kind of titillating.
03:59And I know Diana's a friend.
04:01We've known her for years and years,
04:02but she's an adult, just like Vrabel,
04:05and they both made bad decisions from the looks of it.
04:08Can you justifiably fire a head coach
04:12if he just said,
04:13all right, you guys know what happened.
04:16I will admit it.
04:17I had an affair for the last seven years
04:20with Diana Rossini.
04:22Yeah.
04:22I stepped out of my marriage.
04:24I've been married since 1999.
04:25I don't think people give those kind of details.
04:27Most people don't give it.
04:28I understand.
04:28Even public figures.
04:29But I'm just, I'm saying, if he said that,
04:31I'm going to guess.
04:32And he was completely honest,
04:34would it go away?
04:35Are they going to fire you because of that?
04:37I'm going to guess.
04:37That's not right.
04:38He's coaching a football team.
04:39If Robert Kraft wanted to fire him,
04:41I'm guessing there's like some sort of morals clause
04:43in every single NFL head coach's contract
04:45that gives the owner the right
04:47if they do something that they feel like
04:50doesn't reflect well on the organization and the team,
04:53that they have the right to fire them.
04:54But I don't think it's going to happen
04:56because he's a winning coach.
04:58But is that right?
05:00Because I don't know the marital status
05:03of every head coach, right?
05:05But I'm sure there are some head coaches
05:06who are single.
05:07I'm sure there are some that are divorced.
05:09Yeah, sure.
05:10This one gets caught having an affair with a reporter.
05:13Okay, that makes it a little,
05:14the reason why it's a little more titillating
05:16is because it's an NFL reporter.
05:18And you know where you see her all the time.
05:20Right, if it was, you know, an accountant,
05:23it wouldn't be getting as many headlines.
05:25Yeah, I couldn't care less.
05:26Like that dummy CEO who was hugging
05:29his office girlfriend at the Coldplay show
05:32like last year.
05:33I forgot about them.
05:35I don't care about that anymore.
05:37Those guys got all pummeled, though.
05:38They lost all everything.
05:40Oh, yeah.
05:40Lost all their jobs.
05:41They're out of sight, out of mind
05:43because, I mean, it's a tech company
05:45that nobody had ever heard of before it happened.
05:46Look, one of these people lost their job.
05:48Oh, for sure.
05:50But it's also with a subordinate.
05:52There's probably,
05:53we've watched a lot of harassment videos in our day.
05:56I'm just saying, one of the people lost their job.
06:00If Mike Vrabel was caught with a prostitute
06:02instead of Diana Rossini,
06:04would he be fired?
06:05I think that actually would be worse.
06:07That would probably, of course it would be worse.
06:09I don't know if that would be worse.
06:10I think that'd be better.
06:11Better to be caught with a prostitute?
06:13Yeah, because then you can't be accused
06:14of like giving secret information and all this.
06:18Yeah, but it's illegal.
06:18The journalistic integrity.
06:20Yeah, but it was illegal when Robert Kraft did.
06:23It's illegal and there's a stigma attached to being
06:26with a prostitute.
06:28I think it's easier.
06:29I think he would get off easier if it was a hooker.
06:31If he just said, yeah, I was drunk.
06:32I don't think so.
06:33I don't think so.
06:35I think...
06:35I'm not saying he would have been fired.
06:37I think it looks worse, is my opinion.
06:39All right, those are players.
06:41I don't know.
06:42But they're not going to fire...
06:43I don't think you can fire the guy.
06:45I don't think the story would have legs.
06:46Are you going to fire a guy if he gets a divorce?
06:49No.
06:50You're going to fire a guy if he's a gay?
06:52Is there a story...
06:53It's because it's another fellow celebrity
06:55in the sports world.
06:56Yes.
06:56Yeah.
06:56That's why.
06:57Is there any stories about the two marriages?
06:59Are they separated?
07:01Are they still together?
07:01Oh, I don't know.
07:02The only story was...
07:03Apparently, they're both hanging on.
07:04Both spouses are hanging on,
07:08but bitter, of course.
07:09Oh, I'm sure.
07:10You know, the whole thing.
07:11Who knows if they'll survive?
07:12I mean, the only story was
07:13Vrabel went to counseling for a day.
07:15Well, no, they have other stories
07:16that say that the wife is pissed,
07:18but she wants...
07:19You know, listen...
07:21Jen Vrabel?
07:22Yeah, that she believes in the vows
07:24and she's trying to hold on
07:25to see if she can't salvage it.
07:27And then the husband for Diana,
07:29allegedly, is super pissed, too,
07:31but he still has love for his wife.
07:33Yeah.
07:33But they're in a tough spot.
07:35Yeah.
07:36Do you see what Inside the NBA did?
07:37Brutal.
07:38No.
07:38When the Celtics got eliminated?
07:41Mm-mm.
07:41Well, every time a team gets eliminated
07:44from the playoffs,
07:45they do a bit gone fishing.
07:48And they'll have some sort of goofy picture
07:52with the players with fishing hats
07:54and all that sort of thing.
07:55And instead of just players,
07:57they had Jason Tatum,
07:58they had Jalen Brown,
07:59all the players.
08:00And then they had Vrabel and Rossini
08:02doing the Titanic scene.
08:03Oh, no.
08:04On the boat.
08:05It's not great.
08:05More shrapnel.
08:06We're just catching shrapnel everywhere.
08:08It's kind of wild that ESPN greenlit that
08:11or the producers did.
08:12Yeah.
08:12They always had a conversation about it.
08:14Right.
08:15Right?
08:15Should we do this?
08:16Mm-hmm.
08:17I don't think Vrabel's going to get fired.
08:19I think he might resign
08:20or take a sabbatical.
08:21It's just too much...
08:22It's too much attention on him.
08:24They're not letting go.
08:25It's melting.
08:25They're not letting go.
08:26No one's letting go.
08:27TMZ's going to...
08:27Every press conference,
08:28they're going to be hammering him.
08:29But what else can come out?
08:31I mean, we've already seen videos
08:33and pictures of them.
08:34Diane can tell her side of the story.
08:35Different spots.
08:36There's the report that she's getting ready
08:38to do that.
08:39TMZ's going to keep digging
08:41and digging and digging
08:41because New York Post beat them
08:43to the story,
08:43so they're embarrassed.
08:45I think it's a real chance
08:46that he takes a break,
08:47at least for the season.
08:49That's possible.
08:49I wouldn't be shocked by that.
08:50Just to let everything die down.
08:54I guess I could say
08:55I'm going to work on my personal situation,
08:57work on my marriage.
08:59But I can't see Kraft firing him
09:01based on Kraft.
09:02No, I don't think he's going to get fired.
09:03He probably is.
09:04No, but listen,
09:05you guys think I'm an alien.
09:06I think if he had gotten caught with a hooker,
09:09it would have less legs than this.
09:11This is because it's a fellow celebrity.
09:14Both are bad, but yeah.
09:15That's why.
09:16All right, if you want to weigh in
09:17on the latest in the
09:18Diana Rossini-Mike Vrabel situation
