ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter spoke this week about his part-time role as an NBA sideline reporter, Tony Romo’s future and the Giants’ free-agency plans with The Post’s Justin Terranova.
Q: Why was it important for you to get some NBA sideline gigs in your new contract?
A: It wasn’t important to me. They kind of volunteered it as a little perk to everything, but it was something that wasn’t going to make or break the entire situation. It was more of just a fun throw-in. It wasn’t like I demanded to cover the NBA, but I am ready.
