He’s not playing New England or Tampa Bay so what’s is got to do with the Titans or their opponent
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
I dont even get the question. He's not playing either team this week so it's a stupid question to ask.

I think the media wanted his thoughts on Tom Brady's return because Vrabel was a part of the Patriots dynasty, here's the story.
Tom Brady question causes Titans HC Mike Vrabel to storm out of press conference.
Not everybody is excited about Tom Brady's return to face the New England Patriots. Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel has certainly made his feelings known.
The 46-year-old played for the Patriots for seven years in the 2000s, signing for Bill Belichick's team as a free agent for the 2001 season – the same year Tom Brady got his big break as a starting quarterback in the NFL.
Tom Brady was responsible for some of the starring moments of Vrabel's career. Vrabel was an All-Pro linebacker for the Patriots, but also appeared in several offensive red-zone packages as a tight end.
Vrabel caught touchdown passes from Brady in back-to-back Super Bowls in 2004 and 2005, helping the team to their third championship in four years.
But don't expect Vrabel to be waxing lyrical about Brady's emotional Foxborough homecoming anytime soon.
What did Mike Vrabel say when asked about Tom Brady?
Towards the end of the Tennessee Titans head coach's press conference ahead of their Week 4 clash against the New York Jets, Vrabel was asked "what will things be like for Brady, going back to New England this weekend?"
Following a sharp scowl, Vrabel's short response was, "it doesn't affect me one bit."
As the reporter followed up, "it doesn't affect me one bit" was repeated by Vrabel.
Another attempted question, and this time Vrabel bellowed over the reporter: "it doesn't affect me one bit" for a third time. Then Vrabel walked straight out of the room.
He responded saying “it doesn’t affect me one bit” several times before straight up walking off
Why is Mike Vrabel upset with being asked about Tom Brady?
It seems that almost every player that has pulled on a Patriots jersey over the past 20 years is coming out to have their say on the Tom Brady versus Bill Belichick encounter between the Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which is perhaps one of the most anticipated NFL regular season matches in recent history.
The mood was obviously tense in Tennessee, despite the team coming off back-to-back wins against the Seattle Seahawks and the Indianapolis Colts. It was reported that this was the second time Vrabel had walked out of a press conference this week.
It’s a clear cut case of Vrabel being a jerk. Plain and simple, he is trying to
Play the role of Bill Belichick. He could have shown a little class and made a comment in my opinion. Either way I definitely understand the other side of it.
I thought Vrabel's attitude sucked, he should understand why they're asking him about it, he was a part of the dynasty, he caught touchdown passes from Brady in Super Bowls. To act like a jerk and then storm off, that's classless in my opinion. No, the question doesn't have anything to do with the Titans playing the stink ass Jets this week, but it wouldn't have taken but a few seconds to give his thoughts on an epic moment in NFL history, a guy he played with, Brady's return to New England.
He’s getting his team ready for Sunday. He could give a flying f—k about Brady on Saturday. Ask him that next Tuesday
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
Could he have handled the question better after it was repeatedly asked over and over again? Yes, possibly. But I get his frustration, too. He hasn't played with Tom Brady or been affiliated with New England in years and this was not a personal interview, so get over it and move on already.

Nah, he's just a straight up a..hole.
i like vrabel he screws with bill and makes him look foolish. remember the deliberate delay of game penalties ?
Everyone on the other 30 teams is sick of hearing about this game enough already
Agreed

What he should have said is “the last time I saw those two guys was right after I knocked them out of the first round of the playoffs therefore ending Tom Brady’s Pats career.”

Tom Brady knows. 😂😂
What’s up with Vrabel? He’s an idiot. Takes a delay of game penalty with time outs in overtime on a 3rd and 5. Moron. Of course the kicker misses a 47 yard FG to lose the game.

Losing to the winless Jets. Ouch.
