NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport was accosted by rival reporter Jordan Schultz as the Combine descended into farce on Wednesday.
Security were called after Rapoport reportedly had an X-rated ‘verbal confrontation’ with the Fox Sports NFL Insider in a Starbucks in Indianapolis.
According to NBC, Schultz confronted Rapoport while the NFL Network reporter was speaking to an agent.
The two big-name journalists, who routinely battle to break stories, then shared a brief back and forth with Schultz alleged to have said words to the effect of: ‘If you have anything to say it to me, say it to my f***ing face.’
A few hours before the news broke on Wednesday, Schultz and Rapoport had posted conflicting reports about Tom Brady and Matthew Stafford.
