Chapter 3: What are the implications of Diana Russini's reporting on her career?

128.754 - 161.73 LeVar Arrington

You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. It is the Dan Patrick Show here on Fox Sports Radio. LeVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox in for Dan and the guys. You can hear us weekday mornings before the Dan Patrick Show, 6 a.m. Eastern Time, 3 o'clock Pacific for something we do called Two Pros and a Cup of Joe. Monday through Friday here. Chew, he needs help, man. I don't know why.

0

161.83 - 181.217 LeVar Arrington

I'm trying to get you out of retirement. What do you mean? He needs your assistance. He needs prayers. He needs all those things. So for those of you, like, a little behind the scenes here. Brady and I have been on like a two-week campaign to be a really bad influence on LeVar.

Chapter 4: How is the NFL draft shaping up this year compared to previous years?

181.297 - 204.928 LeVar Arrington

Horrible. And we're trying everything. We are trying everything. It's ridiculous. And nothing has worked. Nothing has taken two yet. That could work. Potentially that could work. But we are trying, which is probably – and by the way, you can check us out on YouTube. I want to be clear on that. 2prosFSR on YouTube. You can watch us right now.

0

205.529 - 223.533 LeVar Arrington

You can see us waxing poetically here on this three-hour journey as we take you all the way up until noon Eastern time, 9 o'clock Pacific. Guys, we've got the very latest on the saga that continues. I don't know if you're familiar with this.

0

Chapter 5: What factors are contributing to the lack of buzz around this year's NFL draft?

223.894 - 243.208 LeVar Arrington

Diana Rossini and Mike Rabel. Yeah, I'm not sure if you guys are familiar with that story. But here is the latest. Diana Rossini now under investigation by The Athletic. According to Mike Reese of ESPN, Mike Vrabel will now not take part in the pre-draft press conference.

0

244.251 - 268.147 LeVar Arrington

And the whole little story that they gave everybody about friends were there, it was an innocent encounter, etc., etc., that lasted for about... 30 seconds before people realize, eh, this doesn't add up. And so now, after The Athletic had Diana Rossini's back publicly and supported her publicly, now she will not be reporting.

0

268.788 - 283.625 LeVar Arrington

Her contract is also up this summer, so there's some speculation that maybe she's done reporting for them for good. And now Mike Vrabel's going to go ahead and step away, which is probably the right move, considering... What do you mean, step away? Well, he's not going to be a part of the pre-draft. Be very clear on that.

0

283.685 - 285.087 Unknown

Not step away, step away.

0

285.067 - 289.533 LeVar Arrington

Pre-draft press conference, he's not going to be a part of it. Because Diana Rossini's step away is away.

Chapter 6: What are the main storylines emerging from the NFL draft discussions?

289.653 - 313.807 LeVar Arrington

Yeah. Period. Yeah. Not Mike Vrabel. Vrabel is going to not be a part of the pre-draft press conference. And look, it's not like anybody's going to ask, hey, what do you guys think about the linebacker depth in this draft? No, they're going to want to know what happened on the rooftop in Sedona. That's what they're going to want to know. So probably a smart move for Mike Rabel.

0

313.867 - 341.896 LeVar Arrington

But the story that we were told and fed initially went off like a fart in church. And here we are. But just be clear that the interview that you're speaking of has already come and gone. Right. Like the story blew up. And there's supposed to be an interview, a pre-draft interview, where Mike Vrabel maybe talks about and highlights what it is that they're thinking about going into the draft.

0

Chapter 7: How do player narratives affect NFL draft excitement?

342.636 - 373.253 LeVar Arrington

So you're talking about a scenario where if it was as open-shut as the coach initially made it sound, there's no problem with you being in front of the cameras. And I would rather... The media hear me and see me say there's nothing there. Can we talk about the pre-draft versus not doing the interview at all?

0

373.774 - 401.21 LeVar Arrington

And that, to me, I feel like that creates more conversation behind everything that's being thrown out there than to me. I mean, it's going to happen either way, but... Don't change what you're doing, is what I would say. Well, let me just ask you this. Does this work in today's society? Because I tend to lean no. If something like this happens, I feel like you've got to get out in front of it.

0

402.332 - 421.496 LeVar Arrington

You have to do more than just say it's laughable because it seems like there's too much smoke there. And pushing off a meeting with the media where you know you're going to be asked about it, And it only allows there to be more time where... I don't know if it's The Athletic or The New York Times. They're now hiring an investigator to look into it further.

0

Chapter 8: What are the potential impacts of the draft on team dynamics and future seasons?

421.636 - 424.76 LeVar Arrington

It's The Athletic. But The Athletic is owned.

0

424.78 - 425.742 Unknown

I think they're owned by The Times.

0

425.762 - 446.232 LeVar Arrington

They are owned by The Times, yeah. But the point is, it only allows for there to be more time for the story to get legs, drum up more of whatever was going on, dig deeper into all of this. And so to think that... It's not going to come up again. You're going to be able to avoid it. It's impossible. Not in today's news cycle.

0

446.252 - 466.122 LeVar Arrington

And I think you talk to most PR firms and people who give advice on this. They'd say to get out ahead of it. Like you're allowing other people now to control the narrative with speculation and more photos and more videos and everything else that comes from this. I mean, I can't tell you how many times I've been sent videos of Diana Rossini talking

0

466.102 - 486.891 LeVar Arrington

Basically talking poorly about her husband, which leads to worse speculation. And the way she'll sound at times makes it seem like, yeah, maybe this is someone who was looking for something else. But not even to go down that road, right? Because the manner in which they're handling it, I think you knew that New York Times or The Athletic, whoever you want to point to, was going to do something.

487.772 - 504.081 LeVar Arrington

But with the Patriots side of this, it's like this isn't just going to go away. And so at some point, you have to stand up. You got to talk about it. And you're going to have to make a statement about it in order to move past. And maybe you do, maybe you don't. Maybe it's always something that kind of hangs around. But that's the world we live in now.

504.301 - 528.981 LeVar Arrington

I think kicking the can down the road doesn't work anymore. Yeah, I... I don't know how... At some point, he's going to be asked about it, especially with that media and the way that this works. And just in general, I don't know how you avoid this. It seems unavoidable. And the longer that it goes on, I would agree, the more that I think it's a bad look because...

528.961 - 540.678 LeVar Arrington

people are just, it's going to build and build and build and build and build, and then finally they're going to get their opportunity, and there's going to be one question and two questions. He already gets frustrated and flustered with the media to begin with.

540.818 - 567.292 LeVar Arrington

He's already a little bit of a red ass and a smart ass, and I just don't think there's any way around having to talk about this at some point. It's going to happen. Here's what has to happen, and I think within the investigation, what's being put out there is that Rossini has to clear up with the athletic, the six other people that were there or supposedly there.
