Did ESPN get mad Ron Jaworski stepped on Adam Schefter’s report?

Someone not named Adam Schefter tried to break news, and ESPN might not have been pleased. 

Perhaps the biggest sports story on Wednesday surrounded the suspension or the repeal thereof for Giants receiver Odell Beckham Jr. He was psychotic on Sunday against the Panthers, specially targeting Josh Norman on a number of occasions in what was an embarrassing showing of character.

Despite how bad his actions were, reposts began to surface after the game and the day following that OBJ had been threatened with physical violence as well as homophobic slurs before the game by Panthers players. As a result, Carolina’s trademark bat antics have been banned and OBJ’s suspension of one-game might be lifted.

Before official word came down from the league offices or any other reporters, ESPN’s Ron Jaworski — who, we checked, isn’t Adam Schefter or Chris Mortensen — tweeted out a report that OBJ’s suspension had been overturned.

Not long after he tweeted that out, Jaws too to Twitter to back off his initial report — with what could be interpreted as backhanded apology to his colleagues Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen.

First off, it’s hard to call this ESPN-on-ESPN crime as there were rumors swirling that Beckham’s suspension was indeed rescinded by the NFL.

To the credit of ESPN though, no official word had come down at the time of Jaws’ tweet, so he might have been spreading false information. That’s something you have to nip in the butt, especially in this day and age of Twitter news wildfires.

But you have to wonder if Jaws got a little phone call from the Mothership telling him to not try and pretend to be a breaking news reporter. It’s a harmless tweet that Jaws wasn’t technically breaking — since it was already floating out there — but this seems to once again be another case of ESPN-on-ESPN crime, even if it’s in the slightest.

Stay in your lane, Jaws!
