Bart Scott threatens reporter

I'm sick of these TMZ sensationalizing reporters following this team... I wish Bart punched Leberfeld, he deserves it, the guy is a major tool. There are only a couple of reporters that I like following this team, the rest are just trying to grab national attention and don't care how they do it, even if it means taking a quote out of context or pushing a player for a reaction. Bart is trying to boycott the media for a reason, but they keep on trying to talk to him. I hate the media in general... I really hope the Jets play pissed off and take a us vs the world mentality.

Bart's often out of line with some of his comments and actions on and off the football field. The Jets themselves have a higher incidence of "circus activities" than the average NFL team, too (though not nearly as much as some would like to admit). With that said, however, it doesn't mean every storyline involving Bart and/or the Jets means they're the ones at fault.

As a long-time Jets fan, regular forum poster on the website Leberfeld used to work for, and someone who consumes a ton of sports media across all sports, I can easily say Leberfeld might very well be the biggest hack I've ever come across. If you think most writers are uninsightful or often fishing for storylines without merit, almost none of them come close to this guy. He's an absolute joke of a writer and analyst who reeks of blatant bias and makes many tabloid writers look dignified. I wish I were being hyperbolic, but I'm not.

Anyways, there's probably more context here than is being reported (and Leberfeld looks like a twit even without extra context), and the fact that no one in the New York sports media is coming to this guy's defense (and never does) when everyone is always salivating for Jets circus storylines is pretty telling in itself.

There'll surely be times for legitimate pot shots at Jet behavior at some point this season. This probably isn't one of them.

This is the photo (apparently) that started this:



IMO this just makes the whole incident all the more confusing. WTF is the reporter taking a photo of?

And why is Scott so upset about this random photo? Is he just against people taking unauthorised photo in general?

That photo captures more than just Scott. What if a teammate was changing, what if there were things going on that werent meant to be seen by the public. The reporter is clearly stepping over his boundaries, and it was on a camera phone. How unprofessional is that, considering how social media works one picture and the entire world has access to it depending on where he sends it. Sorry, that just isnt journalism to me, any fool with those kind of privaleges could do that. And given its his camera phone, who knows what else he would do with that picture in terms of personal use. To me its doesnt seem professional and further, potentially could create a problem depending upon what was taken in the background. So its all right for a reporter to snap a pic. of a player changing on there phone. I think that essentially could be the issue, if anyone one of those background players were changing.Complete violation of privacy.

Reporters are exposed to a lot, doesnt mean they need to capture everything on there camera phone. Act professional.

Apparently this guy's story was about Scott's media ban, so I guess he was trying to take a photo of him walking with a female media member.

Not sure what he's trying to prove; just seems like he's headhunting with stuff like that.
