Mike Vrabel: unofficial bigamist and how he and Robert Kraft are like David Remnick and Jeffrey Toobin

Friday 5/8/26

Mike Vrabel was basically living a secret double life. A bigamist without being a bigamist technically. Reminds me of Ida Lupino's 1953 film The Bigamist with Edmond O'Brien, who totally could play Vrabel if he came back to life.

These people are so arrogant. Going around, doing that, thinking you're untouchable. The absence of morals and character you need to have to then just come home to your spouse and family. "Hi, honey, how was your day?"

I suspect that Vrabel just used his wife as his household manager.

I've thought all along there's a higher chance than anyone else seems to think that Vrabel is formally gone from his job. I said the other day there's all kinds of ways to be done and be gone.

And I definitely believe he's done in the sense of being what he was, or thought he was, or carrying himself like he was. He's forever psychologically undermined within himself. You get toppled, and you're not legit to begin with, you don't get your pose back in your own head.

People have something wrong here. They say that there's no way that Robert Kraft would move on from Vrabel, because Kraft is a sketchy, low class guy himself. So he's cool with this kind of thing.

Doesn't work that way.

People who are horrible will move on from someone who isn't as horrible as they are, citing that person's transgressions, when that latter person causes them embarrassment, ridicule, what have you. That person who they're now removing/terminating can be doing a version of what they're doing that very hour, and they can be doing a worse-yet version of it, but they'll act as if it's this thing that would never enter their head, would be so out of character for them.

It's like David Remnick and Jeffrey Toobin. Remnick knew what Toobin did. All the heinous stuff he did. Following women home and asking if he could anally fist them. It was reported in the mainstream media. The affair, the impregnating, needing to be forced to take a paternity test, not honoring his legally decreed obligations, etc.

You think David Remnick gave a fuck? He didn't, because it wasn't impacting him. It didn't catch on.

Then, when Toobin got caught jacking himself off during a New Yorker Zoom media, he became a punchline in the popular culture. The public went for this. And it wasn't as bad as the rest of the crap he'd done for years. It just caught the public's imagination.

It's not a ranking of moral misdeeds. The caliber of the misdeed. This being worse than that. There isn't some reciprocal correlation between what's worse and what causes the public to cry out in shame of someone else.

The public can very well not give a toss about the thing that is far more horrible than something else that takes less thinking to understand or lends itself to a meme and is more generically lowest common denominator in the middle school manner, which is what most so-called adults are mentally: middle schoolers.

That set up David Remnick to be embarrassed. So Remnick fired Toobin. "You gotta go, boy. You had a great run, and we both enjoyed it and liked to talk about it, but I can't be looking bad myself, sorry."

That was the only reason why he did. Remnick's evil. He had no problem with Toobin doing whatever he wanted to do before that.

You can rape, molest, these people don't care. They know about it with each other often. And they'll keep right on hooking that person up and expecting that person to do for them what they can as well.

It's when what the other person did becomes a problem for them, in terms of public perception, that they're all "This must stop!" like they're so morally upstanding and didn't just throw the pearls on half a second ago to clutch at.

But prior to that point, which it rarely gets to, because it has to bounce a certain way and there's a lot of luck involved with that--or bad luck, if you prefer as one of these such people reading this--and things like timing for it to reach the public and catch the public's attention, they have no issue whatsoever with one of their own doing the wickedest, darkest deeds.

Smoke 'em if you fucking got 'em.

We're talking straight up scum. Remnick, Kraft. If it blows back on Kraft, feels like it makes him look bad, he'll drop Vrabel like he was his worst enemy.

It's never about right and wrong with these people. It's about what they think they can get away with. What doesn't become a problem for them. What they're not held accountable for. Then they do whatever they gotta do when it reflects back on them or they're busted in a way that it catches on.

That's when they're sorry. But of course they're not really in the slightest. Then that other person has to go as if the person whose decision that is is this upstanding moral member of the community.

Like I said, straight scum.
