kind of a plain jane guy

not much of a personality yet there he is on ESPN all these years

what is his value to them, and what is his appeal to viewers?

also, why did they get this dumb Shefter guy to help him out with the football updates on Sunday Countdown?

any way u have to make fun of him is also welcome...his face resembles an animal but I cant quite place it

I know that Chris Mortensen has been an NFL Insider with ESPN for many, many years. Why they added Adam Schefter, previously of NFL Network, is a little bit of a mystery. The only thing I can figure is Schefter's being groomed to become the next Mort...

Shefter comes off as an annoying east coast douche. I would rather read Florio's NFL thoughts online than hear anything Shefter has to say.

Why do these 2 clowns appear together during the "TOYOTA Halftime Show" on ESPN's "Monday Night Football"?

My guess is they brought in Schefter to help compete with the NFL Network for stories and actually be right.

The one I will always remember is the day the Chiefs fired Herm Edwards, it was Mort or Clayton saying Mike Shanahan was going to be the next coach and Schefter was denying it, well we know who was right.
