Jim Rome is a 61-year-old radio legend known for his fiery rants. On Thursday, he set his sights on Robert Kraft and the New England Patriots.
Rome went scorched earth on Kraft for the team's handling of the Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini scandal that he, and many others, believe has been entirely ignored by the Patriots.
"The problem for [Robert] Kraft is that it’s not going away," Rome said. "And there’s nothing he can do to make it go away. In fact, it’s not even dying down, and it’s already been a month. Exactly a month, in fact, since Vrabel issued one of the most ill-fated denials of all time.
"Not only did the public disagree that the photos didn’t deserve any further response, they are refusing to move on from this entire topic. Forget not deserving any further response."
I do believe that Kraft and Vrabel were expecting this story to blow over by now, but I don't see why the two parties making statements about the allegations would speed up that process. Selling photos and information about the alleged affair has turned into a full-blown economy.
"It’s like a 2026 gold rush, and everybody’s out here mining for their nugget, trying to strike it rich," Rome said. "And as long as more and more gold is discovered... it just makes you wonder when it no longer becomes viable for this guy to lead that football team."
I really don't see the argument that, aside from the moral reproach, this incident should disqualify the veteran coach from leading a team. As long as he has the locker room -- which he does -- his ability to coach has not been hindered.
