NFL General Comments 2025 Season

Vikings launch search for new General Manager

 

Love that they went into the draft without a GM and now will hire someone who doesn’t even get to pick players for their first year in charge. What a disaster of an organization.

[Jason_R]

I haven’t said anything yet about this train wreck, but I remember pounding the table for this guy when Fatricia was hired instead. Clearly Fatricia was the wrong guy and his hire was disastrous. And clearly Vrabel is a very good coach. But this guy… this is not my kind of guy. 

[slothfacekilla]

I feel very bad for her husband and kids.

[Jason_R]

It’s awful. If someone wanted to destroy your faith in journalists and women, they couldn’t develop a better caricature of either. But mostly I’m just glad we have Dan Campbell instead of that guy (and I hope I haven’t jinxed Lions fans by saying this).

[Tenacious D]

Neither involved will work in their chosen professions again.  Russini flat out lying about it makes her unhirable within any journalistic endeavor.

Gives new meaning to NFL insider….

so she named her youngest kid Michael, hopefully not Michael Vrabel, Jr

Is this a fireable offense for either Russini or Vrabel? For Russini, as a journalist, this clearly compromises her journalistic integrity sleeping with a source. So if she is still with The Athletic, I think it is a fireable offense. For Mike Vrabel, it is unfair and hypocritical to say Diana should be fired and he should not. I think he'll probably survive and not get fired, nor have to resign. But I think this clearly compromises his integrity as a coach and his ability to build a culture in the lockeroom. 

[Motown Bombers]

Russini resigned from The Athletic.

how many players are cheating on their wives and still contributing at a high level?

Not all of them are leaking information about the organization and its plans for roster construction to a reporter that covers the team, while they are sleeping with that reporter.

[Jason_R]

Russini is now un hireable as a journalist.

The real issue that the NFL needs to address is how Vrabel  may have been using his relationship with her to manipulate the free agent market. If this is proven to have happened, he may be terminated andnever coach in the NFL again.

The walls are closing in.

This 💯 if he's using Diana to benefit the roster construction of his own team, as I alluded to earlier, it should be a fireable offence.

Yes, there are multiple offenses that should get him fired by the Patriots, but he should also be reviewed by the NFL. This is as bad as betting on the league.

Since the affair didn’t take place on team property, it’s ok.

So all the same old guys were always trying to screw the lions are coming back? Well, that’s just great.

[Motown Bombers]

Per the new agreement, referees must meet a quota of calls that negatively impact the Lions  in games in which the Lions are participants and/or in games that have significant impact to the Lions.

Yeah, it's one thing to cheat on your spouse, it's another if you were sharing team secrets. I know that seems really callous to say, but looking at it from the team's perspective it's true.

It's the same reason why sports handles things like cocaine use differently than something like gambling. Society looks at one as being much worse than the other, but in sports the gambling is a bigger "sin."

But did he send her texts while on team property or in a team hotel? Did he cross the street before sending the text?!?
