i just had a funny thought. like, what if Vulture is manipulating everything. like he's the puppet master and the players and coaches are puppets. like "hey nigel, did you hear what chet said about your game?" and then like "hey chet, nigel thinks you're a loser with bad taste in music, but don't tell him i told you i said that." also, maybe he's the one that got foster addicted to weed and so on and so forth and he's just manipulating his way into thirty minutes/game next years. very tricky if this is all true.
