Mitchell

@idontgetball I’m not gonna defend the Knicks series but in general he was a great 3-4 offensive option with good defense in the playoffs. Best shooter on the team by a wide margin.

did Paul George fr only score 20 points once these playoffs?? did i just fucking read that right

@IsSteeler @cbain100 Until he retires in Philly. I will always support the man who has shown up for the city of Philadelphia.

@cbain100 You want Embiid back? Am I missing something? You think you guys have a remote chance of winning ANYTHING with him on your team?

In Windy we trust

@byajperez @Scottalmeida6 @QuincyAvery “Could” is pretty operative but yes insider information does have that capacity and the NFL as a whole would prefer to not probe into it because of that. This was a point I thought we agreed upon an hour ago.

@Mitchell30Brock @Scottalmeida6 @QuincyAvery Then anyone who broke news could be tampering (in your mind) and that’s just now how the real world of pro sports works.

Anybody ever thought they were both just in open relationships.

@byajperez @Scottalmeida6 @QuincyAvery “Massive” was more in reference to use of all media. Not necessarily russini but any and all leaks that could be construed as tampering with further insight.

@Mitchell30Brock @Scottalmeida6 @QuincyAvery I don’t think it’s “massive.” You’d need to show how other teams were put at a competitive disadvantage—and you’d know how teams feel by now if that was the case bec owners know a lot of reporters to get that word out. Goodell’s bosses are the owners.

@Scottalmeida6 @byajperez @QuincyAvery The nfl would prefer it be viewed as an affair instead of uncovering the massive tampering by execs agents and coaches? Crazy I never would’ve guessed

@Mitchell30Brock @byajperez @QuincyAvery NFL already came out and said it’s a personal matter. Just because they release a nothing burger photo every other day doesn’t mean they will change their mind.

@Scottalmeida6 @byajperez @QuincyAvery And?

@Mitchell30Brock @byajperez @QuincyAvery Team execs and agents use reporters all the time to tamper. Lol

@elonruinedtwit2 @zonewintergreen @QuincyAvery The other GM snaps his fingers and suddenly all the teams are begging to give them what they want instead of them all offering what the national media says the guy is worth?

@Mitchell30Brock @zonewintergreen @QuincyAvery and then when the other GM tells them the actual price? Russini snaps her fingers like Thanos and the trade happens or what? also this has never once happened and is entirely hypothetical

@byajperez @QuincyAvery I think that’s exactly why the can has not been opened. As far as obtaining proof I’m sure you’d be more privy than I am to how much the league can or cannot force from vrabel/patriots/titans but afaik they can request his private communications for review on this

@Mitchell30Brock @QuincyAvery But how will you get the proof? Also, there are many reporters who cover the NFL who run with anonymous sources that could aid their team with a well-placed leak. Not saying it happens often, but this is a can of worms execs may not want to open.

If you think theyre listening to their own people who say “this guy is really good we should get him” and then ignore national reports on value to send more than the national reporter is saying is necessary to get the player you’re an idiot. She doesn’t make them think they’re bad. She makes them think they’re easily obtainable.

@Mitchell30Brock @zonewintergreen @QuincyAvery if you think nfl front offices listen to The Athletic instead of their own people u might genuinely be missing grey matter

I believe they’d only have to prove that vrabel asked her to/leaked private conversations with players under contract with other teams (aj brown specifically) to her. Her willingness to report things afaik is unrelated to the policy and their relationship just makes him asking her to do more plausible

@Mitchell30Brock @QuincyAvery The NFL hasn't opened an investigation (that we know of) into this bec you'd have to show Russini (who is under no obligation to cooperate with a probe) actively helped Vrabel to gain an unfair advantage at the detriment of other teams—and not just doing her job as a reporter.

@zonewintergreen @elonruinedtwit2 @QuincyAvery No nfl Gm is ignoring national reports to overvalue players and send more in a trade while the nation perceives value lower.

@Mitchell30Brock @elonruinedtwit2 @QuincyAvery No NFL GM is making roster decisions based on Diana russinis reporting

Any kind of reporting on players at the behest of vrabel during his time in Tennessee and now with the patriots has the possibility of tampering and should be investigated. I would definitely prefer if aj brown were a top priority but over the course of the last 6 years id be surprised if that was the only instance worthy of a deeper look.

@Mitchell30Brock @QuincyAvery So you're talking about the AJ Brown reporting or something else?

@realJoeGigs @elonruinedtwit2 @QuincyAvery Um why would the owner of the titans release pictures of their head coach with a reporter? And the first pictures published were taken in early march of 2026. You’re mad that after that happened more came out from the last 6 years.

@Mitchell30Brock @elonruinedtwit2 @QuincyAvery 6 years old. Who had them for six fucking years… why now? 2026? Why not 2024 when Mayo was leading Pats to 4-13? Yeah… right

@byajperez @QuincyAvery My bad tho I definitely should’ve at least checked the bio first lmao

@Mitchell30Brock @QuincyAvery You're talking to somebody who has covered the NFL for a long time, owners meetings and all. Reporters can't tamper. They aren't subject to the NFL's Constitution and Bylaws. Here's the most recent publicly available version I acquired via court records. documentcloud.org/documents/2317…

@realJoeGigs @elonruinedtwit2 @QuincyAvery It came out almost a full month before the draft? And the pictures that started it all were taken a month before that and sent to multiple news outlets?

@Mitchell30Brock @elonruinedtwit2 @QuincyAvery Amy Adams Strunk hates Vrabel. She has all the receipts. This comes out during the fucking draft… NFL needs to investigate the Titans… conduct detrimental to the NFL

@elonruinedtwit2 @QuincyAvery Known info? Like that max crosby did not want to go to the patriots as she reported?

@Mitchell30Brock @QuincyAvery u when reporters report on known info 😱😱😡😡🤬🤬👿👿

@byajperez @QuincyAvery I have read the NFL anti tampering policy; have you? Are you sure you know what you’re talking about?

@Mitchell30Brock @QuincyAvery You may want to look up what tampering is.

@realJoeGigs @elonruinedtwit2 @QuincyAvery Um okay I’ve heard literally nothing about that and don’t see how it factors in here

@Mitchell30Brock @elonruinedtwit2 @QuincyAvery Im talking about the Tennessee Titans conducting a smear campaign against the Vrabel and the Patriots.

@LDTwestbmore @elonruinedtwit2 @QuincyAvery Does my fandom have anything to do with russini leaking conversations between vrabel and brown? Or have any impact on her reporting toward vrabel, and whichever team he is on, in regard to free agents and players under contract?

@Mitchell30Brock @elonruinedtwit2 @QuincyAvery Eagles fan huh? You’re biased my guy
