Adam Schefter Roped Into Jon Gruden Drama Over Email to Bruce Allen
New York Post ^ | October 13, 2021 | Jeremy Layton

It’s possible that there are damaging things for a lot of people in those emails, but one interesting tidbit was revealed in a June court filing that led to the revelation of Gruden’s words. In July 2011 during the NFL lockout, ESPN insider Adam Schefter sent an email of an unpublished story to then-Washington GM Bruce Allen, asking for feedback.

“Please let me know if you see anything that should be added, changed, tweaked,” Schefter wrote to Allen, according to the Los Angeles Times. “Thanks, Mr. Editor, for that and the trust. Plan to file this to espn about 6 am ….”

SNIP

“Wait, you mean to tell me Adam Schefter carries water for the NFL? not our fierce famously independent journalist ADAM SCHEFTER! (lol come on y’all cant be remotely surprised by this),” Bleacher Report’s Tyler Conway wrote.

Why does any of this crap surprise anyone?

Does anyone think ESPN is going to do anything to upset the cart on the biggest cash cow they have?

I know a lot of Americans are ignorant...but they cannot be THAT out of touch.

This is why you KNOW Jon Gruden's lawyers want all 650,000 emails in the investigation released publicly. That right there could end the careers of top NFL officials and possibly many people in the sports networks.

Yup. Jon Gruden could be more powerful than Donald Trump. Who would have thought that.

He better stay away from Fort Marcey Park.

Why is this a big deal? If Allen was Adam’s source for the story of course he’d want to check his facts before going live.

It’s a big deal because Gruden was fired and has every right to those 650,000 emails.

It’s not called the World Wide Web for nothing.

Oh, I agree Gruden should have access to the emails. I thought people were saying Adam Schefter did something wrong.

If there are 650,000 of them, Jon should be prepared for a big legal bill, but, hey, he can probably afford it.

What evidence do you see of that? He’s going to be even more P.C. than he always has been.

No real journalist would ever let a source vet the content of a report before publishing it.

The NFL is deceased but they just don’t know it yet.
