Patriots HC Mike Vrabel is still dealing with the fallout from his alleged relationship with Dianna Russini and the NFL just thrust him into the spotlight as they announced the Pats would be featured in the opening game of the season, a rematch of their Super Bowl loss to the Seahawks. DP admits he’s more interested in the off-field drama than the actual football game.
Dan Patrick: “You're gonna get eyes on this game anyway because it's the first game of the regular season. Now you throw in the Mike Vrabel element here; that might be more interesting than the Super Bowl rematch here because I didn't like the Super Bowl, therefore I'm not that interested in a Super Bowl rematch here, but…I look at the Patriots now, okay, there's drama, but I don't know how it reflects on the football team, and I don't know if anything else, I was gonna say another shoe drop, you know, feels like it's a closet full of shoes that have dropped already.”
