Vrabel Denies Affair Rumors, Fans Unconvinced

0:00On April 21st, Mike Rabel, the new head coach for the Patriots, just held a press conference to address swirling rumors about a personal relationship, with NFL reporter Diana Racini. He denied any wrongdoing and called the speculation laughable, but fans aren't buying in, lighting up social media with backlash. The chatter stems from reports of an alleged affair that reportedly caused Racini her job at ESPN. Rabel's comments came after weeks of silence, and he stuck to a story without issuing an apology or deeper explanation. Social media erupted right away, with many accusing him of lying in public and demanding the NFL penalize him like they would a player. Some even tied it to past tampering allegations during his Titan's days, calling him a disgrace to the league and his family. Not everyone's piling on, though.

As the Patriots gear up for the season, all eyes stay on Rabel
