Two things (among others, in theory) could bring it to a boil again.<\/p>\n<p>If that happens, how should the Patriots get past it? Former Patriots right end Rob Gronkowski has some advice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s as easy as this,\u201d Gronkowski said, via Fox News Digital. \u201cWin. <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/rob-gronkowski-offers-advice-patriots-silence-noise-around-mike-vrabel-controversy-ahead-2026-season\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">You win<\/a>. You come together as a team. You work together, you work your butt off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s right. Winning will be the best way to put all of it in the rearview mirror.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you win, it solves all problems,\u201d Gronkowski said. \u201cIt really does. It\u2019s crazy how winning in the NFL, it truly does and you\u2019re good to go there. You gotta win, baby.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Again, the issue has subsided.

It also could change if\/when Russini tells her story \u2014 mainly because no one knows what she\u2019d say.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, winning does indeed cure everything. Starting with Week 1 and a Seahawks rematch. <\/p>\n<p>Given the way Super Bowl XL went for New England, a victory right out of the gates wouldn\u2019t just send the story of the offseason to the back burner. It would knock it off the stove entirely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Mike Vrabel-Dianna Russini situation has simmered.
