Patriots' Mike Vrabel calls out those who abuse handicap parking in Starbucks lot: 'I’d slash their tires'

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel is not afraid of confrontation — especially in a Starbucks parking lot.

The 50-year-old NFL coach explained in a recent podcast appearance that he tends to confront people that use accessible parking spaces when they don’t have a permit.

"The people at Starbucks that park in a handicap spot and go in there and try to get their order from the mobile order … (who are) by no means handicapped," Vrabel said during an appearance on The Athletic’s "Scoop City."
