Oh shut up. The lack of indictment says it all. Get over yourself.

Schefter breaking news of retirements have always struck me as really just… mean. Let these guys have their moments. You don’t have to be in the limelight for every event off the field in the nfl.

I made a light-hearted documentary about how schefter covered Tom Brady's retirement. I knew next to nothing about football, but even I could tell Shefter had some shaky credibility. Glad to see I was right and that people with a bigger voice are making this known. Great work man!

As a Steelers fan,I am proud that Shefter is being called out of the Haskins Debacle. But he should have been suspended. BuT ESPN will never do that.

Schefter is the TMZ of the NFL. Great video.

Im happy to see more people begin to realize how much of a disgrace Schefter is to the sports media profession. As a packers fan, I am a bit too familiar with him than I would like to be, and it gives me great joy to see him being called on his bs. It also gives me a bit of cause for concern that ESPN is tolerating his behavior, which sets a bit of a dangerous precedent for the future of sports journalism moving forward. While ESPN may not be a financially viable platform long-term, the future generations of sports media personalities and informants must learn from the mistakes they have made if we truly want to maintain journalistic integrity.

I love the direction this channel is taking. I admire your courage. Keep doing what you're doing man!

I’m glad the Pat McAfee Show has Rapoport on bc he does all the right things, unlike what Schefter does sometimes

Brilliant, my guy. Someone has to hold him accountable -- maybe the backlash from this video will✊

Schefter knows how the play the game and he plays it ruthlessly, never caring about the lives that he's affecting, people that he's hurting or the implications for his actions. He's quick to apologize when he's called out, but only when there's a public relations issue involved, since admitting that you were wrong to do something affects your credibility as well. You see it all the time with Paparazzos all around the world.

Great video…Glad to see you’re back producing excellent content. It had been a while.

Really loved this vid and I learned some things from it. Thank you for making this. Always love your content.

To me Adam essentially is wanting to protect the league at all costs instead of being an unbiased journalist. The entire landscape of journalism worldwide has been tarnished so much in the past few years that many don't respect the trade and Adam shows how so many sports have tried to become the modern day TMZ to break news first and such. I understand wanting to be the first to a story and journalism school teaches many that not only if it bleeds it reads but getting a story out first matters so much. He's to me a guy who reminds me of a person like Jen Pshaki with the kind of heat that his actions has brought himself. The NFL has struggled so much with conduct for their players to owners while hoping his like Adam can make noise in other spots to get people not to notice the real issues. Its another reason why so many don't respect sports anymore because of the soulless nonsense we've seen from players to breaking stories without merit. Adam has done so many bad things yet he's given more passes than so many and I don't understand why however let's not forget the NFL is in the entertainment business not essentially sports at first so guys like Adam is a showman first then journalist. But again another reason why so many have walked away from sports as fans and such. I would like to see Adam to have to eat his words but also I think again it shows how low the NFL has gotten in the past few years. Its sad but again this is the NFL and ESPN (Disney owned) so what credible or respected views do they really have in the first place?

ESPN is going to be among the first of "Legacy Media" to go belly-up IMO.

The Brady retirement was clearly a negotiation tactic to force the owners to get rid of Arians so he gets a pass for getting that one wrong

Hey man keep up the good work. I’ve really enjoyed your last two videos. I know it’s been a while since you last posted but keep working man - your content is great!

The way he broke the Brady retirement news that forced him to "fake" retire as well as the Haskin's tragedy was just insane.

The reason ESPN hangs onto him is because he has dozens of the best connections for hearing news first in the NFL. ESPN is struggling enough as it is with their best voices leaving for FOX. They won't get rid of Adam unless he does something beyond forgivable.

Please don’t think I’m on Watson side on this one, absolutely not. I do have to make a point in the phrase “a lack of indictment doesn’t mean he’s innocent.” That happens to be exactly what that means, because in the American Legal system everyone is innocent until proven Guilty. No one is ever found innocent, they are found “not guilty.”

No reporter should EVER say “a lack of indictment doesn’t mean innocence” That is editorializing. An accusation already Carries weight with a lot of people.

Woj is somewhat the same way when it comes to the NBA. He’s so hell bent on being the first to drop his “Woj bombs”. A good example is the Lakers firing of Frank Vogel. With how the lakers season went, there was a good chance the lakers would be moving on from Vogel in the offseason. Going on a more than likely to happen outcome, Woj capitalized on that probability to be the first one to report it even if it hasn’t yet been decided. The reason he does that is because if he’s right, a Woj bomb dropped of a coach firing before a game is even concluded is celebrated as exceptional reporting. He’s never called out for a take that is incorrect. Nobody ever remembers that Woj actually reported Kawhi choosing the Lakers right before surprising everyone by signing with the Clippers later the same day. Correct takes equals brilliance, wrong takes equals 🤷🏽‍♂️ on to the next take.. That’s sports journalism for you.
