Former Patriots linebacker, target of Rock Pile hatred and member of the NFLPA Executive Committee, Mike Vrabel, was charged with theft...
...wait for it...
...from a riverboat casino.
Amazing.
Since none of the details of this matter are available yet and seeing as how I am far from a respected journalist (or really any kind of journalist), I have no choice but to get down to some good ol' fashioned rumor-mongering!
What I heard was that Vrabel was overseeing a high-stakes poker tournament at Indiana's premier riverboat casino, the Belterra ( Catch Bob Newhart on May 17th! ). As you can imagine, it involved some unsavory characters. Word on the street is one of them was his son. In fact, people tell me Mike Jr. wound up winning the whole tournament. But when the pot was divied up, Vrabel robbed his own son at gunpoint. Then he took off in a small boat tied to the back of the casino.
Because the casino's on a boat. In a river. (I love America.)
I'll update you with the facts as they arise... or I'll just leave it at that.
