Jobot Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 I hope this guy gets some fall out for his cop-out of an interview with Greg Hardy. He seemed terrified of Hardy to the point where he wouldn't put Hardy on the spot at least in a direct way. Every line that Hardy spoke was complete BS! Hey Schefter, don't you think a good reporter should see this BS and call it out? Instead, he was just so petrified and gobbled it up. Even his post-interview comments were disgusting as he took Hardy's side to call him a 'changed man'. Changed man from WHAT??? Schefter said it himself that he never met the guy before and basically went in with a blank slate... except that he said his feelings prior to the meeting was that Hardy was the most terrifying player in the NFL. We all know Hardy is a monster, so I don't really care too much about what he had to say anyways. So for me the most disappointment resulting from the interview twas how Schefter completely sold out. I feel for any victims of DV who had to watch this as it made the issue seem like it can just be swept under the rug... Schefter is either a garbage reporter with no backbone, or had another clear agenda to help Hardy with his image. It wouldn't shock me if there was some $$ or agreements made behind the scenes between the two parties.
Chuck Wagon Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 When is the last time an ESPN reporter asked tough questions or put someone on the spot?
CommonCents Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 Hardy's agent is Drew Rosenhaus, Schefter did him a service probably to stay on good terms or improve his contact with the leagues most notable agent. ESPN is a joke I'm not surprised they aired it, Schefter gets his hands in everything I'm not surprised he did it. If I was to guess, the questions were scripted and approved. That would explain the lack of follow up questions and then the joke of a follow up interview
H2o Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 When is the last time an ESPN reporter asked tough questions or put someone on the spot? When Jim Rome was on there

Might be one of the nicest off the field guys I've come across. The girl was a total psycho.
BillnutinHouston Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 When Jim Rome was on there And we know how that one ended.
Dr. Who Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 LOL. Goodell is going to suspend him eight games for that.
machine gun kelly Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 That was a belly laugh. thanks whitewater. As to Hardy, no one wants to go anywhere close to him. He was a baffoon last year for Dallas showing up late for meetings, the sideline stuff, and only had 6 sacks. He's not worth the headaches. Lastly, what do you expect from Schefter?
BringBackFergy Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 Adam Schefter has inside sources at the hospitals around the country (he was able to get JPP's hand pictures)...why doesn't he dig deeper into the medical records side of the injuries to the woman?
sullim4 Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 Outside of live sporting events, I stopped watching ESPN about 15 years ago. I'm not sorry that I did.
quikchomp Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 ESPN is scripted and fabricated entertainment programming. Other than live events, you are being fed mostly spoonfuls of BS analysis and ratings-fueled talking points.
Beef Jerky Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 Adam Schefter has inside sources at the hospitals around the country (he was able to get JPP's hand pictures)...why doesn't he dig deeper into the medical records side of the injuries to the woman? Little hint Schefter and JPP didn't share the same agent... Schefter and Hardy do.
Mr. WEO Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 Little hint Schefter and JPP didn't share the same agent... Schefter and Hardy do. Schefter's agent is Drew Rosenhaus?
aristocrat Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 Little hint Schefter and JPP didn't share the same agent... Schefter and Hardy do. i thought his agent was jimmy sexton
Ontario51 Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 And we know how that one ended. Now that was a really good interview!
BarleyNY Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 What, is Schefter embarrassed that he gagged so much during the "interview"? Disgraceful.
jimmy10 Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 Schefter is either a garbage reporter with no backbone, or had another clear agenda to help Hardy with his image. Why not both?
Mr. WEO Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 i thought his agent was jimmy sexton An article from 2014 says Schefter negotiated his last contrast with ESPN by himself
