ESPN's Adam Schefter to dabble in a different role at Travelers Championship
Adam Schefter is expanding his sports media horizons. The ESPN NFL insider will serve as a sideline reporter for the Worldwide Leader at the Travelers Championship this weekend, adding golf to his football-heavy resume. During an appearance on ESPN Radio's 'Unsportsmanlike' on Tuesday, Schefter said he'd be on the grounds at TPC River Highlands in Connecticut starting Thursday with one of the featured groups on ESPN+. Schefter, who has been reporting on the NFL since 1990, admitted earlier this year that he was looking for something more stimulating than breaking football news. 'Interact with people outside your normal world,' Schefter said when asked what he'd like to do outside of television hits and social media during a conversation on 'The Marchand Sports Media' podcast in January. 'It's refreshing. I love stepping out of this zone, on the rare occasion that I can. I like being let out of the cage. And ESPN doesn't let me out of the cage very often.' Adam Schefter on set ahead of Super Bowl 2025 on February 7, 2025 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Getty Images Schefter had previously dipped his toes into sideline reporting during an NBA game when LeBron James was with the Cavaliers, which was an experience he looked back on fondly. 'I was doing a Cleveland Cavaliers game on a Friday night in late March, and I'm in the hall, and LeBron walks past, and he goes, 'What are you doing here, did you get lost?'' Schefter said. 'Things like that, that get your juices going a little bit. I love what I do, and I'll do it for a long time,' Schefter said. 'But I love to feel the energy of something that is not familiar to you. That you have not done for 35 years. Where it's new faces in a new place. That to me is a little bit stimulating.'

Media mischaracterizing anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles, ESPN star claims
ESPN NFL analyst Mina Kimes criticized the media's coverage of the anti-ICE riots that have taken place in parts of Los Angeles County over the last few days. Stark images of burning vehicles, rioters spraying painting cars with expletives and the intense back and forth between President Donald Trump and California Gov. Gavin Newsom over how local law enforcement is handling the problems have been among the topics of conversation. "The disparity (between) what's actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it's being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory," Kimes wrote on her BlueSky account. "Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it's like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm." Videos and photos of looting have also taken the internet by storm and, because of it, businesses in the Los Angeles area have boarded up some of their shops in case of more chaos. Fox News Digital saw a T-Mobile store on the corner of 3rd Street and Broadway boarding up in case of another night of protests and rioting in the city. While a security guard protected the property, a repairer worked at the CVS store on the corner of 7th and Spring streets in downtown Los Angeles after several nights of rioting. Attorney General Pam Bondi offered a blunt message to would-be robbers and looters in the deep-blue city on "Fox & Friends" Tuesday. "If you loot a business in California during this, we're charging you with robbery under the Hobbs Act. No longer are the days of non-prosecution for looting. It's a criminal act," she said. Los Angeles law enforcement has made dozens of arrests in the wake of days of protests and riots.

Jake Tapper claims Trump is 'not transparent' about health issues amid Biden fiasco
CNN anchor Jake Tapper's Original Sin, his bombshell political exposé co-authored with Axios's Alex Thompson, is facing heat for being a glaring double standard. Spending years downplaying President Joe Biden's health concerns, only to now call for transparency from Donald Trump. The book, which hit shelves Tuesday, has stirred up Washington with its detailed depiction of Biden's rapid physical and mental decline in office. Former ESPN NFL reporter Ed Werder mocked Tapper, posting, 'He sold his credibility as a journalist for access to power - and now expects to profit from the very audience to whom he lied.' ALSO READ| Jake Tapper exposes Joe Biden aides' secret plan to put him in wheelchair for potential second term Despite having reportedly downplayed Biden's condition for years, Tapper, claimed, 'President Trump appears healthy, but he has not been transparent about his health records, and that's something American people have right to.' Longtime Democratic strategist James Carville didn't mince words. 'And I was saying this since 2022, alright?' Carville told Fox News. 'I think it was a big mistake for him to say he was running for reelection. And I've said it at the time and I will say it now, and I will say it a thousand times.' 'It's not a job for 80-year-olds,' Carville added, noting Biden would have been 86 by the end of a second term. 'I don't know if it's his staff, or if it's the family or who it is, but whatever it was it was just a colossal mistake... I think it cost us the presidency.'

ESPN Legend Chris Berman Makes Decision on His Future
ESPN's status as the "Worldwide Leader in Sports" came after years of hard work and perseverance. The network began in a small Connecticut town, and has grown into a global empire with a presence on nearly every corner of the Earth. ESPN is synonymous with sports, and Chris Berman is synonymous with ESPN. The legendary sportscaster has been with the network since its inaugural year in 1979, appearing as a familiar face to several generations of viewers. Advertisement From his weekly look into the NFL to the iconic calls at the Home Run Derby, few names have been attached to sports media history like Berman's has to ESPN. On Monday, ESPN announced that Berman would be back with the network on a new contract, signing a deal to become the first ESPN employee to celebrate their 50th anniversary. ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter shared a video with several photos of Berman throughout the years, celebrating his upcoming anniversary with the network. "Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined turning 70 and still being here at our network, which long ago became an icon of sports broadcasting," Berman said in a statement released through ESPN. Advertisement "We're closing in on our very first Super Bowl, and now I will be able to be part of that, too." Berman's extension will carry through 2029, and ESPN will broadcast the Super Bowl for the first time on February 14, 2027. It will mark the 45th Super Bowl Berman has worked in some capacity for ESPN, including hosting three pregame shows for ABC's coverage in the early to mid-2000s. "For a remarkable half-century, Chris has embodied ESPN with his smart and entertaining style," said ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro. "ESPN has been so fortunate to have Chris making us better for decades and I am delighted that will continue beyond our 50th anniversary. And no studio broadcaster has meant more to NFL coverage than Chris and to have his presence on our first Super Bowl presentation is both apropos and significant." Advertisement The 70-year-old Berman has hosted "NFL Primetime" on ESPN for decades, and he's also been the on-site host for the Pro Football Hall of Fame's annual enshrinement ceremony since 1979. Fans can also see Berman in the upcoming "Happy Gilmore 2," which will be released on Netflix during the summer.
