Being an NFL insider is no joke. Duty can call in some of the weirdest places, and staying ready is the only option. Longtime ESPN servant Adam Schefter knows the feeling all too well.
During Schefter’s recent appearance on “This Is Football,” hosted by Kevin Clark, he shared a very humorous experience while on the job. Clark asked Schefter to reveal a weird situation from when he broke NFL news.
The question itself brought a slight chuckle from both. Adam Schefter took a moment to cherry-pick from the millions of news stories from his mind palace. He finally settled on an incident from 24 years ago.
I can remember being in Denver one time, and I was, how do I say this? I just spent time with this woman for the first time and got a text that Dale Carter was being suspended. I think it was for eight games for substance abuse. So, I continued to lay there, confirm it, and got the job done.
Adam Schefter said
I asked @AdamSchefter the weirdest place he's ever broken a story. I cannot possibly recommend this clip more.

Dale Carter played for five teams during his NFL career. After spending six seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, he played for the Denver Broncos, Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, and the Baltimore Ravens, where he retired.
As part of the Broncos team in 2000, the NFL suspended Carter for a fourth substance abuse violation before being released during the 2001 season.
Adam Schefter’s revelation left Kevin Clark speechless
Some moments are memorable and remain etched in the memory forever. And usually, an anonymous hookup isn’t exactly something one can forget so easily. Hats off to Schefter for still finding the onus to deliver the news to the public while being busy with his amorous activities in Boulder Country.
After Schefter spilled the beans, there was a momentary awkward pause until Clark said.
I’m just staring straight at the camera, buddy. That’s it. That’s it. This is the greatest episode we’ve ever had.
Kevin Clark remarked
There’s no way to be sure whether it’s Schefter’s weirdest situation or not of his reporter life. He has to have a few more. However, only if he comes clean or maybe someday sits down with Clark for a similar one-to-one, then perhaps there will be an even clearer picture of the life of an ESPN contributor.
Clark should ask the same question to a different colleague of his—perhaps Stephen A. Smith, who recently expressed the desire to enter politics after leaving journalism.
