Mike Vrabel skipping day three of the NFL Draft has curious logic
Vrabel won't come clean, but he's spewed a lot of industry standard "taking accountability" pablum that it comes off as a non-confession confession.
New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel was with his organization for the first round of the NFL Draft last night. He'll be with the club again, tonight, for rounds two and three, but will then go on leave tomorrow, while rounds four through seven transpire. “As I said the other day, I promised my family, this organization and this team that I was going to give them the best version of me that I can possibly give them,” Vrabel said in statement Wednesday.
“In order to do so, I have committed to seeking counseling, starting this weekend. ” This is a strange move to say the least. The need for both counseling and spending time with family is, according his actions, more important than rounds four through seven of the draft, but still not as high a priority as rounds one through three.
The reigning AP NFL Coach of the Year still refuses to say why he needs to be with his family and attend counseling, but if you've clicked here, you already know why. And in the off chance you don't know what this is all about, the mothership publication of this website can fill you in here and here . Vrabel won't fully come clean about what is going on, but he's spewed enough of the industry standard "taking accountability" pablum that it comes off as a non-confession sort of confession.
According to reports, the Patriots aren't using an outside crisis management firm on this matter, and well, it certainly shows. It's difficult to decipher the curious logic on this one. Unless the counseling program being utilized here is booked on Thursday, Friday, Sunday and Monday?
