Questionable tactics
BY TOM ROCK
During the final media availability of the week, Pats LB Mike Vrabel was asked by one of those tanned, smiling TV reporters "What's the craziest question you were asked this week?"
Vrabel said he noticed a few wedding proposals during the media day, but said most of the annoying questions hadn't been put to him. Then he spoke about how such antics really degrade the sport. He said that those quirky questions and reporters who are just looking for stunts are an embarrassment. And he said he had a lot of respect for the reporters, particularly the regulars who cover the team in New England and try to keep the focus on football with sharp analysis and keen insight into the sport.
The tanned reporter smiled througout the entire answer, then, I kid you not, said this:
"Mike, just one more question: Who's the funniest guy on the team?"
