PH๏τo of shock Ian Rapoport-Jordan Schulz bust-up at NFL Combine emerges after Starbucks fight

A pH๏τo has emerged of the ‘verbal confrontation’ that occurred earlier this week between NFL reporters Ian Rapoport and Jordan Schultz at the NFL Combine.

Hours after they posted conflicting reports about an alleged meeting between Tom Brady and Matthew Stafford, Schultz confronted Rapoport at a Starbucks, reportedly hurling expletives at the rival news-breaker.

And on Friday, Awful Announcing published a pH๏τo of the altercation, in which a smiling Schultz can be seen standing near Rapoport.

The Fox Sports insider stood with his hands on his hips in the picture.

While the incident did not become physical, it was reported to NFL Security according to Pro Football Talk, who broke the story.  

Rapoport reportedly told a witness that the altercation was treated as a threat of physical violence.

After Schultz accosted Rapoport, the two had a brief back-and-forth before the former said, ‘If this happens again, we’re gonna have a f*****g problem,’ or something to that specific effect. Schultz told PFT that he did not recall using expletives.

The altercation came after Schultz reported on a recent meeting between Stafford – who is now set to stay with the Rams – and Raiders minority owner Brady.

Schultz reported that Brady ‘recently hosted’ the Rams quarterback ‘at his home in Montana, where they spent time together and went skiing’.

Rapoport quickly and fiercely disputed that account, and said the pair simply ‘ran into each other at a ski resort’ and that ‘the meeting, unplanned, was not extensive or in-depth and did not include Brady ‘hosting’ or ‘recruiting’ Stafford, despite reports saying otherwise.’

The NFL Network insider did not mention Schultz by name but the Fox Sports Insider hit back on social media with a thinly-veiled dig.

‘If you really think Tom Brady and Matthew Stafford just happened to run into each other at a ski resort in Montana — of all places — at the exact same time, I’ve got a bridge to sell you,’ Schultz wrote.

After Brady’s agent Don Yee told NFL Network that the original story was ‘inaccurate’, Rapoport posted: ‘Tom Brady and Matthew Stafford, like many other high-profile people, both own houses in the same ski community.’
