Initial reluctance on Vrabel–Russini story

House of Glass is here to discuss an especially fertile week in sports media. Ryan Glasspiegel of Front Office Sports DARED DISAGREE with a few of my takes on Vrabel-Russini. We found considerably more agreement as we shifted to NBA television discussion, as per usual. Topics!

* Mike Vrabel-Dianna Russini scandal and press conferences

* What are the chances Vrabel actually gets fired by the Patriots?

* Whether Patriots knew about relationship pre-hire

* Russini’s career fallout and future prospects

* How the New York Post coverage (story on Vrabel’s wife) went too far

* Steve Kerr’s contract options (coaching vs. broadcasting)

* Kerr’s TV analyst potential at ESPN/NBC

* NBA playoff ratings trends and measurement disputes

* Nielsen vs. streaming metrics fragmentation
