Cool Meanderings with Dr. Jerm G

Scandals and Why We Love Them

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1965559/fan_mail/new] In the episode, I talk about the latest public scandal involved NFL head coach Mike Vrabel and former New York Times/The Athletic reporter Dianna Russini. The situation has captivated the sporting world and basically drew attention away from Thursday's opening of the NFL Draft along with the first round of the NBA Playoffs (yawn). I give my thoughts on the adult situation and why we can't seem to help ourselves when public figures end of these salacious situations. CORRECTIONS: In this episode, I mentioned that Vrabel had coached the Patriots for two seasons when in fact Vrabel just completed his first year as the New England head coach. He coached the Tennessee Titans from 2018-23. Also, it was erroneously suggested that Vrable played in Super Bowl XXXI for the New England Patriots against the Green Bay Packers in January 1997, however, Vrabel was drafted in the 3rd round of the 1997 NFL draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. He did not join the Patriots until 2001-02 season. He played with the Patriots until 2008 and was on the 2007-08 Patriots that went undefeated and lost in Super Bowl XLII to the New York Giants. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Music: Nostalgia Neuralgia by Joshua Moses https://joshuamosesmusic.bandcamp.com [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbHNOWjNNdUhYdjhSZ1ZhcnNqOHJEbk1heHRGd3xBQ3Jtc0tubGFHTENwSGt3THJzaUhoVzFlVFhxZ252UG9EekthMFphZ2o4S2plSU15c3hqUFZkMnpZTjE4TlI4MVRocTBUR1RJaHI3TEdwaTBIekdJdmpqRXo4bk16NnB6U2dGem01eVNrNGtqTloxRUtaUkFuYw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fjoshuamosesmusic.bandcamp.com%2F&v=yeaKFJdQDM4] License: Creative Commons — Attribution 4.0 International — CC BY 4.0 Free Download / Stream: https://links.al/xPc [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa1Y0X2pzUVpzYm5jTGxlSWhnWmc5ZGhPTkpXZ3xBQ3Jtc0trdFZQbXNjdWJ3RkFvT0gyMllEd3ZzQ2UtSm5CX0gtcE9IbFBKa3Q0YkRJUTJyVWd5b0ZVcFdFNndHSWN2cDdROWI5WTZuaEhyY01JbUFXX3RoSHlrbXZncVJraWdwNFp0dG56Y19PSnBfVXJOMkpzaw&q=https%3A%2F%2Flinks.al%2FxPc&v=yeaKFJdQDM4] Music promoted by Audio Library: https://links.al/youtube [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbWNXNXBwYUp0QzBrWEZjM3hac2IwSG04aE5pZ3xBQ3Jtc0trV04td3lVTXBXQThDVTZKdGM3X0hoNUU3YmJjM0J6U0daeDNfZnQ1NkhCNFBDNUtxMjAxT053ZnR3emlCZ3lxZkZhUGR5MEJwMjB6MFE0eTNtaWhrUjk4REhWczFNbmpRVUFxdk9KOFh1SjZCamNfOA&q=https%3A%2F%2Flinks.al%2Fyoutube&v=yeaKFJdQDM4] –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Sources: Pablo Torre focuses on the Mike Vrabel-Dianna Russini situation - NBC Sports [https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/pablo-torre-focuses-on-the-mike-vrabel-dianna-russini-situation] New York Post Trolls Patriots' Mike Vrabel With Savage Tabloid Headline [https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/celebrity/articles/york-post-trolls-patriots-mike-132346935.html] Mike Vrabel speaks after new Dianna Russini photos released: "My previous actions don't meet the standard that I hold myself to" - CBS Boston [https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/watch-live-mike-vrabel-news-conference-dianna-russini-nfl-draft/] Mike Vrabel’s battle is far from over | Karen Guregian - masslive.com [https://www.masslive.com/patriots/2026/04/mike-vrabels-battle-is-far-from-over-karen-guregian.html] https://www.elitedaily.com/relationships/cheating-scandals-pop-culture-public-opinion Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1965559/support] If you like this episode, please like, subscribe and share.
