Old habits die hard. For two decades, fan bases fought over Tom Brady’s greatness. While some asserted he was the best quarterback ever, his critics often fought over and pointed out the Patriots locker room that dominated all other 31 teams. Now, he has retired. But even then, the clashes over the GOAT are far from over. The newest one arose from his role of the being the co-owner of the LV Raiders franchise.
The entire NFL world is in Indianapolis for the Scouting combine. FOX NFL insider Jordan Schultz had a verbal altercation with the NFL insider Ian Rapoport. It escalated to a point where Rapoport called the security, who calmed down the tension between both men. They also took statements from multiple eyewitnesses. Well, the reason was the most bizarre one. Tom Brady meeting Matthew Stafford!

On February 26, various news outlets reported that the GOAT met the LA Rams QB at a ski resort in Montana. While Rapoport had called it a chance meeting with no solid talks of any trade, Schultz had a totally contrasting view, claiming there was more happening than what was being shown. The rest, as they say, is history. Well, at least no one can question these reporters’ passion for their jobs!
According to the people present at the scene (per NBC’s PFT), Rapoport was talking to an agent when Schultz approached him and said, “We need to talk.” But Rapoport didn’t wanted to and replied, “We don’t need to talk.” The FOX reporter than hurled some accusation towards the NFL insider.
Schultz was angry as he yelled, “If you have anything to say it to me, say it to my f—— face. If this continues we’re going to have a f—— problem.” Rapoport told him to step back and called the security, who then jumped into action. It’s crazy how much trouble Tom Brady caused between both men.
Tom Brady stays silent on Ian Rapoport vs Jordan Schultz
While everyone in the league was amazed with the GOAT meeting Matthew Stafford and questioned the meeting, no one thought it would escalate to such a point. But Tom Brady chose a neutral path. He didn’t give an clarity on the meeting. He only posted an IG story of his beloved cat with “.”
Amid these, both sides cleared out their side of the story. NFL’s Ian Rapoport remained silent and didn’t give any statement. FOX’s Jordan Schultz did send a text message to PFT that read, “It really isn’t anything too much. Ian Rapoport and I had a verbal confrontation. It lasted a little over a minute. Multiple agents and reporters were nearby. Rapoport was the one who called security shortly after, but it never escalated further.”
Entire league is silently watching. There could be multiple outcomes as the league never wants to be in the headlines for the wrong reasons. However, it also puts onus on Tom Brady so as to really clarify the situation. Will the GOAT do it? Or else, his actions would speak?
Rams QB is on the trade market as LA Rams wants to move on. They have allowed him to talk to other teams. Will he come to the Raiders? A big question that is keeping people off their seats.
