Adam Schefter is the subject of a big feature story in Tuesday's Washington Post as On-Air colleagues take anonymous shots at the reporter's insensitivity to the Dalvin Cook and Deshaun Watson cases.

”He is your preeminent journalist for the preeminent sport in America,” said one on-air ESPN personality. “I would hope that as a network you’re embarrassed by that, but I’m blown away that ESPN doesn’t seem to care.”

Also via the Post: “The Cook incident was the most serious, and multiple people who work at ESPN, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal matters, said they worried that it and the Watson reporting reflected a failure to understand the sensitivity of domestic violence allegations.”

Schefter, however, didn't offer a direct response to the criticism from colleagues, saying, “Are they going to go on the record?”
