98.5 The Sports Hub midday host Scott Zolak drew a firm line Thursday. Speaking on Zolak and Bertrand, Zolak explained why he has avoided a developing story. The situation involves Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini.
Zolak made clear his professional ties shape his decision.
“I like my jobs. I like working here. I like working with the Patriots. I like doing games. I like doing TV with them. I like being with the team,” explained Zolak. “For me to sit there and cast stones at this guy would not do me great things. So there’s your answer. In a nutshell.”
Zolak serves as a game analyst for the New England Patriots radio network. He also works closely with team personnel throughout the year. That access, he said, comes with responsibility.
“I’m not going to comment on it,” Zolak said. “I work with Mike [Vrabel] during the football season and multiple times in the offseason, I do things with Mike. I know Mike. Mike and I have a good back and forth working relationship.”
Zolak continued by outlining personal connections to Vrabel and Russini.
“I know Mike’s wife. She’s been in some of the meetings. I know Mike’s two sons. I’ve met them. I’ve hung out with them during the football season. I know Dianna Russini. I know the people involved, and I’m in no position to comment on anything that happened between these two. It does me no good.”
Zolak emphasized he will not speculate. He believes speaking on the matter creates unnecessary risk. For now, he is staying focused on football.
