Adam Schefter had to answer to his wife, Sharri Maio, after he recalled having sex with a woman right before breaking a news story during an appearance on Kevin Clark’s “This Is Football” podcast Wednesday.
The ESPN NFL insider — who did another radio appearance Wednesday on WEEI’s 93.7 FM — said he got a text from his wife, and many others, after he explained the “weirdest place” he’s broken a news story was after having sex with a woman in Denver, where he was reporting on the Broncos at the time.
“All day long I’ve been responding to texts about this, including my wife this afternoon,” Schefter said, laughing. “My wife didn’t appreciate the story as much as other people, I’d say. I should point that out. Some people enjoy it — my wife, not as much.”
Schefter didn’t share what his wife’s message said.
“I don’t know what to say … What do you want me to say?” he said while laughing still.

Schefter did admit he was “completely shocked” that took off.
“I said what I said, right?” he added.

Schefter stirred buzz on social media with his NSFW comments.
It all started when his ESPN colleague, Clark, asked him what was the “weirdest place” he’s broken a news story.
“I can remember being in Denver one time,” Schefter said with a smirk. “I was um … How do I say this? I had just spent time with this woman for the first time and got a text that [former Broncos cornerback] Dale Carter was being suspended for eight games for substance abuse.
“So, as I continued to lay there, confirm it, and got the job done Kevin — in every which way.”
Schefter later clarified on X that he technically broke the news “after” having sex with the woman.
In 2000, Carter was suspended by the NFL for one year for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy for the third time.
Schefter was a reporter with the Denver Post at the time.
He and his wife married in 2007, and they share daughter, Dylan, 15. Maio has a son, Devon, from a previous relationship.
