Hey there, folks.

It is Thursday, April 23rd, and what?

An eventful week for Patriots head coach Mike Rable.

Started with the press conference.

It's going to end with the draft.

And after that, counseling.

And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and T.J. Did we see this one coming, Robs, counseling? No, because I thought that the way it was revealed, he needed to just say, yep, I've had those difficult conversations with my family and with my team,

and that's going to remain private and onwards and upwards.

Moving on.

Yeah, and that's, I mean, basically the culture of sports played at this level when you have a winning coach with a winning team, he can kind of do no wrong, including some of his high-profile players. So that's

just the way the NFL works. That's how it was explained to me by you. Short of a crime,

short of a crime, right? We see bad behavior and whatever. Excuse me, I don't want to classify it

as that. But yes, to your point, yes, there's a very high bar for losing your job in the NFL. He said what he said, Coach Mike Frable, but to your point now, it's a little surprising, perhaps, that he's come out and said more, which includes he's going to miss Robs one day of the all-important draft that starts today.

And to your point, this has nothing to do with his status as a football coach, how he's

regarded as the head coach of the Patriots.

This has nothing to do with sports fans or his players or the NFL.

This has everything to do with his private life because no one is even investigating him.

He really didn't have to say another word about it.

And he certainly didn't have to go on any sort of PR campaign to refurbish his reputation, because, as you point out, it's not that big of a deal in the sports world.

No, but he has come out now, and your suggestion this wasn't necessarily.
