ESPN’s NFL newsbreaker has had to apologize for a number of high-profile missteps in recent months, but was still able to secure a seven-figure payday.
“It was so valuable to ESPN that there’s no way they were going to leave that show for a gambling network,” Samson said, on a show sponsored by DraftKings. “It was all just done to try to get more money, and given the numbers, I’d have to say they did a good job with Jimmy [Pitaro, ESPN’s chairman].”
Skipper agreed that it was a “good piece of business. They’re valuable to ESPN, who paid what they need to to keep them.” Le Batard asked if, journalistically, there should have been qualms with ESPN paying that money to Schefter, given the several high profile incidents of “ethical conundrums and bad form” he has apologized for in the past year.Adam Schefter signed a deal with ESPN that The Post’s Andrew Marchand reported is worth $9 million a year.
“I wish I could have that tweet back,” Schefter said on his podcast. “The focus should have been on Dwayne — who he was as a person, a husband, a friend and so much more. I wanted to apologize to Dwayne’s family, his friends, the players in the NFL and offer my condolences to everyone close to Dwayne.”Former ESPN president John Skipper said that Adam Schefter’s gaffes have not cost him financially.
“Fair questions are being asked about my reporting approach on an NFL lockout story from 10 years ago,” Schefter said in a statement released through ESPN PR. “Just to clarify, it’s common practice to verify facts of a story with source before you publish in order to be as accurate as possible. In this care, I took the rare step of sending the full story in advance because of the complex nature of the collective bargaining talks.
