Adam Schefter is the biggest name in NFL reporting and arguably ESPN's most important insider. However, even he wasn't big enough to avoid a ban from a popular show on the network. According to a new report from media insider Andrew Marchand of The Athletic,

"One afternoon, McAfee wanted Schefter on his program," Marchand reports. "Schefter was appearing on an ESPN2 free agency special and was unable to make it. Schefter, formerly a McAfee Show regular, has been banished ever since."

The sports media star's stratospheric rise has been built on unpredictability paired with a showman's sense of their audience.
