Adam Schefter Details How He Got the Scoop of Andrew Luck's Retirement

Chicago Bears v Indianapolis Colts
Adam Schefter: “Certain stories that you work on for days or weeks require a lot of calls, a lot of times, and a lot of energy, and some come together and some of them don’t… Then, there are other stories that are fast-moving stories that just come together quickly. This is one of those that just came together quickly. It wasn’t like last Monday I had a premonition that Andrew Luck was retiring, or having actual talks that he was with members of the Colts organization. This caught me off-guard as much as it did anyone. I was on the streets of Piermont, New York at an Italian restaurant and you people are following the story, and I had waiters and busboys coming up and asking ‘Is it true? Did you just report this??’ it was a surreal scene for me and the Colts. I’ll always remember where I was when this story got out.” (Full Interview at Bottom of Page)
