Vrabel's Hand-Hold Scandal: NFL Draft Distraction

0:00On April 21st, Patriot's head coach Mike Vrable finally spoke to reporters on Tuesday, his first comment since photos surfaced of him holding hands. With Diana Rossini at an adult-only resort, Rossini used to cover the NFL for the athletic, and the picks stirred up talk about mixing team and media worlds. She stepped down from her job earlier this month, saying it was to starve the story of attention, not because she agreed with the claims. Sources inside, the athletic, say their internal probe, raised more questions about her. Meanwhile, the league made it clear they won't launch any investigation into Rable's actions. We're from insider's points to owner Robert Kraft stepping in hard, pushing the New York Post to hold off publishing and even looping in a crisis. They got extra time to respond beyond usual standards, but the story still dropped anyway. This whole mess hits right in the middle of NFL draft prep and off-season training, pulling focus from football. Fans and folks in the biz are buzzing about it, mudding lines between reporters and teams, especially after Tom Brady's gig as a Fox analyst while owning part of the Raiders.
