Vrabel's Scandal: NFL Coach Steps Away for Therapy

0:00It's April 24th. I'm Corey with the story. This is NFL News Today, driven by AI and built for football fans. Patriots coach Mike Frabel is caught in a growing scandal with Diana Rossini, a former NFL reporter. Foto's first surface showing them cozy at a luxury resort in Sedona, Arizona back in late March before the owner's meeting. Frabel called any romance rumors laughable at the time. Then more pictures dropped right before the NFL draft on Thursday, this time from a New York bar in 2020. The fallout hit hard, leading Frabel to step away for therapy and family time. At a press conference Thursday night in Gillette Stadium, Frabel got pressed on flipping from dismissal to needing counseling. He stressed protecting his family and set his actions fell short of his own standards, but kept details private. He's skipping day three of the draft to be with his wife and two sons, though he'll stay reachable for team leaders like owner Robert Kraft. No interim coach named, and it doesn't sound like a long absence.

1:00The NFL won't discipline him since no crimes are alleged, but this blimish on his sharp coaching rep might linger forever, even if he brings new. England back to Super Bowl glory.
