NFL Reporters Jordan Schultz and Ian Rapoport Clash Over Brady-Stafford Report

A heated exchange at an Indianapolis Starbucks during the NFL Combine highlights tensions between two prominent insiders over conflicting reporting.

  • Jordan Schultz and Ian Rapoport had a brief but intense verbal altercation at a Starbucks in Indianapolis during the NFL Combine, stemming from conflicting reports about Tom Brady and Matthew Stafford.
  • Schultz claimed Brady hosted Stafford in Montana to recruit him to the Raiders, while Rapoport dismissed it as an unplanned encounter, leading to Schultz confronting him in person.
  • The argument, which included profanity from Schultz, ended with Rapoport calling NFL Security, though no physical altercation occurred.
  • The incident drew attention from sports media, with Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal humorously discussing it on TNT’s 'Inside the NBA,' referencing Schultz’s connection to Starbucks through his father, Howard Schultz.
  • Both reporters later downplayed the incident, with Rapoport joking about switching coffee loyalties and Schultz emphasizing that the confrontation lasted just over a minute.
