Adam Schefter says his wife ‘didn’t appreciate’ the raunchy breaking news story

Adam Schefter’s story about breaking news shortly after “finishing the job” in the bedroom was hilarious to most, but his wife didn’t appreciate it.

The ESPN NFL insider told a story about the “weirdest place” he broke the news, and he insinuated it happened right after sex.

“I remember one time I was in Denver. I was… How do I put this? I had just spent time with this woman for the first time,” Schefter said slyly on “The Football Podcast.” “And got a text that (former Broncos cornerback) Dale Carter was suspended for eight games for substance abuse.

“So, as I lay there, I fixed it and got the job done – in every way possible.”

Schefter was back on the air Wednesday and said his phone blew up over the viral story.

And one of the people who reached out was his wife, Sharri Maio.

“I’ve been responding to text messages about this all day, and this afternoon also to my wife,” Schefter said. “My wife didn’t appreciate the story as much as other people, I would say. I have to point that out. Some people enjoy it, my wife not so much.”

Schefter did not say what Maio told him.

“I don’t know what to say… What do you want me to say?” he said, admitting he was “completely shocked.” The story went viral.

Schefter and Maio married in 2007, six years after Maio was widowed following the September 11 attacks. Maio and Schefter have a daughter together, and Maio has another son from her first marriage.
