Her husband is better looking than Mike Vrabel, probably a nicer person since not a cheater, was single, will never have CTE, and was probably excited to date and marry a prominent, semi-celebrity journalist.
She made a terrible judgment call.
You're describing good *on paper*. Clearly no actual attraction, no bedroom spice, no romance, no actual love. She possibly didn't even want her husband's babies. Husband's ick factor is off the charts.
Cake eaters are good with multiple partners. She looks happy in the early pictures with her husband. She just is a cheater.
These days if she'd wanted to be a single mom, nobody would have blinked or asked about the dad. She didn't have to get married. She was likely just going for next best in her opinion. Now she really has f'ed her life. Like Prince Charles did. Her kids are always going to know she has zero integrity.

Tomlin is a good coach but his expire date has passed. He is not the long term answer for the Patriots, Vrabel is.
Because his antics are a distraction. Nobody likes a distraction. Did they keep Gruden around?
The players already have the reputation of drug and steroid addicted thugs who abuse women, now the coaches can have the reputation of immoral scumbags who knock up other men's wives. Lovely optics.

Sleuths have repeatedly been able to link her negative reporting to things that benefited Vrabel as a coach and harmed other coaches, players and teams. It calls into question the integrity of the league and its media apparatus.

I'm shocked it went this far. She is a piece of trash. Surely people knew this.

Excited to date someone with a better job than himself is not an attractive trait in a mate. We normally call that person a gold digger.

They were using her not just for a warm hole to cheat on their spouses, they were also using her to tamper with other players and teams, which is illegal per NFL rules.
She actually was paid pretty well if you believe some of the stories that have come out from this. Let's say 10x
Mike Vrabel makes something like $15M-20M a year. Another coach she is allegedly linked to, Sean Payton, makes $18M a year.
OK so the Patriots dropped the bag for him, but I was thinking more his prior salary. She allegedly was one of the highest paid people at the Athletic, but no way to find out for sure. It's not like they're posting contracts, but similar people get paid in the millions.
I think that rumor she made $1.5M a year is bullsh*t. I'd guess more in the $300K-500K range. But who really knows.
Her comp was over $1.5 million but was not all salary. Some was long term incentive that has already been paid out. he contract expired in June in any event. It likely would have been renewed but who knows.
$1.5m is delusional.

They clearly have an...agreement. She has not exactly been shy about wanting "more".
They had an agreement for her to get knocked up by a coach and raise a coach's baby as his own? I doubt that very highly.
