OT: Florio “Schefter is a scumbag”

[UChiLAbear]

Schefty lost my last bit of possible respect when he just couldn't contain himself and leaked the Tweet about Andrew Luck retiring during that preseason game. Luck had apparently told the team and had a presser set for after the practice game. The organization respected it, but Schefty just HAD to be the one to drop the news, instead creating a stadium of angry fans during the game, and f'd up the chance for Luck to hit the podium and bow out with grace.

Feel how you will about Luck's early retirement or expectation to announce on his schedule, it just felt extremely selfish and cringe of Schefter to me.

FWIW, Adam Schefter defends breaking Andrew Luck retirement story

What a unprepared, weaselly, twat-waffle:

From his own mouth he said..."I never stopped to think"......I would recommend never say that in a Deposition or on a Witness Stand. But we have a Ist Amendment, so say what you will.

Florio is kind of a scumbag, himself

Yeah I mean he basically faked and lied his way into his role as NFL insider. PFT was more or less a joke and obviously posted mostly made up clickbait articles but when the old media finally realized the internet was a thing all they saw was the traffic. So NBC made him legit. Kind of hard to buy the "journalistic integrity" line from him.

It's the nature of his job. You can't get to where he's gotten without burning bridges along the way. Something something morals and ethics.

It felt good telling the New York post I would not support them and continue to block ads.

My second thought is I had already forgot about Ben Johnson as I’m led to believe Kliff Kingsbury is the master plan to steal Caleb Williams.

If Kliff was the "master plan" then why was he only linked to WASH after Dan Quinn was hired?

Why wouldn't he have been their #1 HC option.

I don’t know, ask Twitter fans. I’ve known Caleb is coming to Chicago the second they clinched that pick.

I'm amazed anyone wants to be a reporter these days. Non-stop cunting about them.

Theoretically, if you're doing your job there shouldn't be that cunting. However, even if you do your job....

Without mixing forums, I would say there's another arena where the ethics of the job have taken a gigantic hit. It's a shame, because despite the outlet you work for, despite the medium, despite perceived or real bias, being a reporter is an important career. There's just so many that have ruined it.

Nailed it.

Kliff didn't go to LVR because they didn't offer a 3rd year. Washington definitely did not have some grand plan to hire him to steal Caleb.

How do you know that?

Haha. We can’t agree on basic facts these days. So respectfully disagree. You can be a reporter and be 100% accurate as fuk and someone still will disagree. Think the public has ruined it more than the media.
