First to Break- The Adam Schefter Problem 

Schefters the kind of friend who would go after a girl you just broke up with.

I’m glad this video was made. Someone has to hold Schefter accountable

his Dwayne Haskins tweet will go down as one of the most tasteless, disrespectful, weirdest, clunkiest, most poorly worded tweets of all time

He pretty much embodies what ESPN has evolved into. The ends always justifies the means and its all about money and views in the end.

Adam Schefter is the definition of the phrase “haste makes waste”

As a journalism student, Schefter is the exact opposite person we’re taugh to be. We’re taught that it’s good if you get it first but more important that you get it right. And that you NEVER have any type of bias in your reporting, blatant or implied. I honestly used to admire him for his work. Now I think his ass needs to be fired.

that first clip is really chilling, having that attitude with covering athletes is really really weird

This was so well put together. Helluva job brother

He is the epitome of ESPN/Disney business model; money first - morals last.

Edit: he’s the NFL’s patsy. A willing participant to be the perpetual fall guy. There’s no WAY they’d limit him. Why would they? You just told a great story about the best known insider able to control narratives but expect the levers that work the engine to stifle that power? If anything his influence will only keep growing. You call them mistakes he’s made - I call them choreographed chaos. He knows what he’s doing. And THATS why I have such a huge problem. He’s not making mistakes he’s working the audience and outrage is currency 7:14 to be fair though, it’s a high profile hit piece. This is not only common, it’s actually a courtesy. His language to me read as sarcastic.

Imagine a world with no Adam Schefter, you know, getting the news roughly 10 minutes later when the team announces it. Scary…

Just did a final project for one of my classes about this. Wish ESPN would hold him accountable. Great video, great to see you back!

Ian Rapaport is a better insider than Adam Schefter. Although Adam is usually the first to break a story, Ian's reporting is much accurate. Adam Schefter constantly gets things wrong because he is so focused on being first.

It’s totally not sketchy that Adam Schefter let a higher up of one of the most corrupt teams in the league edit his article about labor relations. I’m sure Dan Snyder’s camp is incredibly unbiased about that issue and have no nefarious motivations at all. I mean, the culture there is and continues to be damn good.

YOOOO HE'S ALIVE Happy mother's day everyone

You missed the 2013 draft, when Schefter was twitting out all the 1st round draft picks, before they were publicly announced. Keep in mind once the pick is in the NFL tell new organization who the pick is, so they can queue up video packages and be ready for the announcement.

Schefters problem is that we live in a time where most men don’t live in fear of catching a beating for their actions and words.

This is a very necessary video. Of course, ESPN is not going to either fire him/let him go to another sports news outlet because it's all about the buzz and Adam creates a lot of it, which means money. It's especially vile in the post-MeToo era when the Watson situation is still ongoing. Simply the worst. Well done, sir.

One other thing i did the day of the dwayne haskins thing was to see how he would tweet a players death, and around 12-15 years ago, 3 wideouts for Denver all died in a few years. After the final passing, he tweeted out how denver had 3 wide receivers lose their life IN THE SAME WAY HE TWEETS ABOUT AN INJURY BUG. As someone who wants to go into his field I hate how he is doing his job

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.

Been too damn long, glad you're back man

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

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.

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!

Schefter is the TMZ of the NFL. Great video.

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.

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

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

As soon as the WFT leak, I lost all respect for him and began questioning everything he tweets

This was great and well put together. I feel like the Dwayne Haskins thing was one of his lowest moments and the Andrew Luck report.

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

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

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

This video was so needed!!

Great to see a video from you. I hope everything is going well in your life, been missing your videos.

Yeah….he’s always playing both sides…he’s part of an exclusive club that runs the NFL…..a machine that protects those who follow the narrative and buries those that cross the line. 9 million a year says it all.

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?

This is so darn well done as usual

When I was in college I was in a few journalism classes. Back then the biggest rule to always remember was: "It's far more important to get the story right than it is to get the story first." Guess that isn't the same rule people follow these days...

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

Honestly though we need to hold all media outlets more accountable. They all do CNN, Fox and etc. Its like nothing is truly neutral with nothing but the facts , no agenda tied to it.

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!

Well done sir. Thank you for doing this.

A lack of indictment absolutely implies innocence. Because in this country we are all presumed innocent until proven guilty through the proper court of law. Anything anybody else says contrary to that is fallacy.

Yeah, that Haskins thing was so out of bounds. I wouldn’t say I’m out on Schefter, but it definitely changed my perception of him a bit

Thanks for this video I didn't know I needed

So glad to see another video! Missed you bro

Would love to see a video comparing and contrasting him to Woj

Welcome back king

I was just thinking about how you haven't posted in a while. Good to see a new video

High quality video. Great job.

Thank you for calling out his Aaron Rodgers lies; everytime I’ve brought it up on Twitter people have denied his wrongdoing.

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.”

I used to work in media (political news not sports) and I hate to say it but there's a thousand Schefters out there covering things a lot more important than football.

Great to have you back Sir.

Shefter works for espn, why are you holding him to actual journalistsic standards?

The way he reported Haskins death was absolutely disgraceful

Great video! Very eye opening. Wow.

Great video... The breakdown was on 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯

He definitely seems like more of an NFL PR guy and he does a journalist/analyst.

He reminds me of the episodes of The Simpson’s, where Bart would phone Moe’s Tavern and get him (Moe) to ask and shout out random stupid names out to his customers and he’d say it without thinking. Well, to me, Moe is Schefter; he literally tweets anything, without appearing to think about what he’s posting, or if it’s the right thing to post (informatively and morally).

Bro thank you, this needed to be done

Damn its so good to see one of your vids again. Don't leave bro

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.

FINALLY a schefter vid

Video is so well made I love it

another top notch video! Set the Edge is setting the standard!

Who's here after Schefter did it again by breaking Jason Kelce's retirement 🤦‍♂

It feels like a lifetime since set the edge dropped.

Great video, well spoken.

I thought this channel was dead with no posts lately. Glad it’s still kicking!

Just like athletes, you can have incredible skill and work ethics but character and growth can be lacking

Him and Mel Kiper are my least favorite part of watching the NFL. Great breakdown video!

Very well done with this video, STE.

you're really good at this!

Adam Schefter is the type of guy who answers the phone with “hey you”

As long as millions of people keep following him, he'll keep getting paid.

It’s been so long, glad this man is back

Well done. Great video

That’s why I follow Ian Rapoport.

8:52 I will forever hate what Schefter and the Colts fans in the crowd that day did to Andrew. Never deserved to be sent off like that.

Excellent video!

Thanks for making this video, needed to be said and viewed as an “accumulation of information” on Shefturd

Adam “don’t touch me my dad will sue” Schefter

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. False accusations are virtually impossible to escape. We don’t need a “we don’t know it isn’t true”. People lie all the time. Don’t talk about what “we don’t know” Stick to what you actually know.

Ayyye nice video, and playing Veridis Quo (Daft Punk's top 3-5 songs) near the end is a vibe

Amazing video man.

The thing that makes me the most frustrated is there's never any correction. People still use the Rodgers Draft Day news against him in arguments, even thought it was proven to be made up by Shifty.

Mr Editor isn’t gonna like this video

Very nice reporting 📰

He's the type of guy to just keep going regardless of the what he's told or asked. He said it himself, it's an addiction. He HAS to be the first one to break the story and doesnt care who it hurts or how it's received. In his mind it's all about him cause he's been rewarded for doing so. The way he broke the Brady retirement news that forced him to "fake" retire as well as the Haskin's tragedy was just insane.

Yeah, once he mentioned how much of a failure Haskins was DURING A TWEET REPORTING HE FUCKING DIED, I gave up. Dude has always been slimy but JESUS.

As an Adam myself, why can’t there ever be a good Adam talked about on this channel? (Also random note, ironically I’m an Adam G).

Finally someone bringing this up

Well done. Subbed!

I agree Schefter is incredibly wreckless & unprofessional, but it's equally as wreckless to start with with an assumption of guilt in the Deshaun Watson situation. He doesn't need to be exonerated, because an individual is innocent until proven guilty. The entire framing around the criminal justice system sucks & it's a far bigger problem than anything a D-bag like Schefter can do. I don't particularly like Deshaun Watson, Schefter, or ESPN, but I don't like the perception of needing to be proven innocent, or "exonerated", wayyy more. Smh.

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.

Yessir, thank you! I mean THANK YOU for this video!

i love your videos so much bro keep it up
