The news never stops, and Adam Schefter knows how to “get the job done.”
During the latest episode of the ESPN podcast This is football with Kevin Clarkhost Clark asked the NFL insider, 57, where the “weirdest place” he broke the news was.
“I remember I was in Denver once,” Schefter began before pausing. He finally laughed before continuing.
“I was… How can I say this? “I just spent time with that woman for the first time and got a text that Dale Carter was suspended for eight games for substance abuse,” Schefter told Clark. “So as I continued to lay there confirm it and do the job Kevin – in every way.”

The revelation stunned Clark. “I’m just staring straight at the camera mate, that’s it,” the host said. “This is the best episode I’ve ever had.”
After a headline claimed Schefter reported Carter’s suspension during sex, Schefter clarified on Xu that the breaking news came “after” the act.
Carter, 54, is a retired cornerback who played for the Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos, Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens. In 2000, while with the Broncos, he was suspended for the entire season for allegedly violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy. Carter appealed the suspension, but the league rejected it, CBS News reported.
At the time of Carter’s suspension, Schefter was working for Denver Postwhere he rose to prominence before joining the NFL Network in 2004. He joined ESPN in 2009.
