Mike Vrabel Has A Very Good Reason For Wanting To Lose Super Bowl 60

This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.

Mike Vrabel and the New England Patriots are now one win away from lifting the Lombardi Trophy. However, he might be hoping for a loss. 

If you’re a man, you’ll definitely understand…

The Patriots booked their place in Super Bowl 60 with a 10-7 win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Their next opponents: the Seattle Seahawks. 

Seattle’s offense looks unstoppable right now. Sam Darnold is playing out of his mind, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba is impossible to cover. Should they turn up two weeks from now, Vrabel will have the perfect excuse. 

Perhaps he never imagined he’d get within one win of a Super Bowl. He probably did not expect to do so in his first year. Back in 2019, the last time the Patriots were here, it was a pipe dream. 

Vrabel was the head coach of the Tennessee Titans at the time. He joined his player, Taylor Lewan, and a former teammate, Will Compton, on their new ‘Bussin’ With The Boys’ podcast for what was just their eighth episode.

Unfortunately, he made an offer he will regret now. 

Mike Vrabel Said He’d Cut His Package Off For A Super Bowl

Vrabel, a three-time Super Bowl winner as a player with the Patriots, was desperate to win one as a coach. Asked what he would do to make it happen and whether he would cut his manhood off in exchange, he said yes.

He explained that he had no use for it after 20 years of marriage. 

“Oh, (I’ve) been married 20 years. Yeah, probably,” he said.

A shocked Lewan would point out that he already had three.

“As a player…” he replied. “You guys will be married for 20 years one day. You won’t need it.”

He suggested that his wife would probably be cool with it, too, given how long they’d been together. 

He already almost lost his nose in pursuit of the Lombardi.

It’s unlikely Vrabel was serious about cutting his member off back then. However, life has a funny way of reminding you to be careful what you say. 

And folks who remember the claim might call for him to follow through if the Patriots beat the Seahawks next month.
