1. Tuesday night, at 7:15 eastern, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter sent out this tweet to his 8.7 million followers.
Clearly, Dalvin Cook’s agent was trying to get ahead of a story that was about to go public. The Vikings running back is being sued for allegedly abusing a former girlfriend.
Why Schefter would let himself be used as a pawn in this story is mind-boggling.
The framing and wording of Schefter’s tweet is downright strange, and it is completely obvious that it’s meant to court public sympathy for Cook before the entire story becomes public.
