Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel threw some serious shade at the New York Mets on Sunday.
Head coach Mike Vrabel is one of the more loose coaches you will ever see, and he proved that once again on Sunday when he roasted the New York Mets after practice.
On his way past the Titans’ beat writers at the end of practice, Vrabel saw one of the writers wearing a Mets hat and proceeded to have a little fun at the team’s expense, per Terry McCormick of Titan Insider.

Things have been going bad for the Mets in 2019. Whether it’s the team’s bullpen imploding and blowing leads on a daily basis, players playing out of position, or just the overall disappointing nature of the season, the Mets have seen better days.
And Vrabel just added insult to injury to that Titans writer who is already suffering through the normal ills of being a Mets fan.
It’s all in good fun, though. As I already mentioned, Vrabel is a guy who has a great sense of humor and he proved that earlier this offseason on the Bussin’ with the Boys podcast, with hosts left tackle Taylor Lewan and former linebacker Will Compton.
Vrabel was asked if he would cut off his male appendage for another Super Bowl ring, to which he jokingly replied, “yeah, probably.”
He also mentioned that his wife would probably help him out with that. Jen Vrabel not only had no issue with it, she actually agreed she would.
You can’t help but like Vrabel, unless, of course, if you’re a Mets fan in this case. He’s a fun-loving guy who knows how to joke around and not take himself too seriously. He strikes the perfect balance of a hard-working coach and a light-hearted human being.
The Titans will hope that eventually helps translate into an improvement on three-straight 9-7 seasons.
