NFL Reporters Ian Rapoport and Jordan Schultz Clash Over Matthew Stafford Scoop

A Starbucks confrontation at the NFL Scouting Combine highlights tensions between two prominent insiders over conflicting reports.

  • Ian Rapoport and Jordan Schultz had a heated verbal altercation at a Starbucks in Indianapolis during the NFL Scouting Combine.
  • The dispute arose after Rapoport publicly contradicted Schultz’s report about a potential meeting between Matthew Stafford and Tom Brady.
  • Schultz confronted Rapoport, reportedly using profanity, and Rapoport responded by notifying NFL Security to de-escalate the situation.
  • The incident gained widespread attention, including humorous commentary from TNT’s 'Inside the NBA' crew and Schultz’s connection to Starbucks through his father, Howard Schultz, the former CEO.
  • Both reporters later downplayed the altercation, with Rapoport joking about switching coffee brands and Schultz describing it as a brief verbal confrontation.
