### Adam Schefter Reveals Unique Setting for Breaking NFL News

In a recent interview on "This is Football," ESPN's Adam Schefter disclosed one of the more unusual circumstances under which he has broken an NFL story. The dedicated NFL insider shared that he once broke significant news while he was in the midst of an intimate moment.

During the discussion, Schefter recounted an episode when he was in Denver. He had just spent time with a woman for the first time and received a text about Dale Carter's suspension for substance abuse. Schefter, displaying his unwavering commitment to his job, managed to confirm the news while still in the situation and subsequently reported it.

To put this into context, Schefter was working for the Denver Post as the Broncos beat writer from 1996 until 2004. This particular story pertains to the suspension of Dale Carter, then a member of the Broncos, announced by the NFL on April 25, 2000. Given that Schefter received the news first, it can be inferred that this all took place on the evening of April 24, 2000.

This revelation amusingly marks a unique and memorable instance of Schefter's dedication to breaking NFL news. For the woman involved that night, she is now part of an interesting footnote in NFL journalism history.
