New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel decided to have a press conference Tuesday, addressing the media for the first time since those eyebrow-raising photos of him and now-former NFL insider Dianna Russini were published. What did Vrabel want to tell everyone? It's not really clear based on what he actually said. Vrabel started the press conference by issuing a classic non-denial denial, never addressing the photos directly. All that was made apparent is that he has had "difficult conversations" with the team and his family, and that he will "attack each day with humility and focus." Here's the meat of it: > I’ve had some difficult conversations with people that I care about: with my family, the organization, the coaches, the players. Those have been positive and productive. You know, we believe in order to be successful on and off the field, you have to make good decisions. That includes me, that starts with me. We never want our actions to negatively affect the team. You never want to be the cause of a distraction. And when I—those are comments and questions that I’ve answered for the team, with the team, we’ll keep those private and to ourselves.
