Last night NFL Reporter Adam Schefter managed to single handedly destroy the Eagles section of twitter..but not by his own doing. After appearing on a radio show to discuss Chip Kelly’s future, the station released an incorrect quote that sparked an explosion of articles all over the web.
Upon realising our mistake, we embedded the audio player so you could listen to the interview yourself and also clarified in all social media posts and the article itself that this was pure speculation…other sites, didn’t catch on so fast.
The result was a complete meltdown and today, Schefter joined the guys at 975 Mornings to set the record straight.
'I was completely taken aback at the way that was portrayed…'-Schefter

'I never said his days in Philadelphia are numbered…I think there's a question as to whether or not Chip will be back next year'

Hey, at least we didn’t post that…
Schefter: There is a question, inside the Eagles or by the media, if Chip will be back next year.

An interesting development..
Schefter: AS it stands today, the Eagles are a major disappointment and there is unrest in the Eagles organization.

“There’s a question about his future in Philadelphia, I don’t see the headline there, but the question is there” – @AdamSchefter

"Eagles fans, from what I gather, would be happy if he moved on right now” – @AdamSchefter

It’s funny the way things turn out right? Again, like we clarified last night the quotes of Schefter were pure speculation. But what we can gain from today is that whilst it’s speculation, it’s something he evidently stands by.
