Adam Schefter or John Clayton

[Dr. Jack]

Who's better, more reliable? Who do you trust more as far as credible info? Are these the best in the business?

Who's better?

The "Cryptkeeper" ............easy pick


Clayton began hosting a cable TV sports show in Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania, while still a student at Churchill Area High School in suburban Pittsburgh. His print journalism career started at a now-defunct Pittsburgh weekly, Steel City Sports, in 1973, the same year he graduated from Duquesne University. He moved to a part-time job at the Pittsburgh Press in 1976 and was eventually promoted to full-time status. Clayton also served as a stringer for the AP radio network and several other audio sports services in the 1970s.




Rooney admits to making another mistake that may have cost his team Dan Marino during the 1983 draft. Noll and his scouts wanted defensive end Gabe Rivera with their first pick, the 21st of the draft, even though they also liked Marino. But they had Cliff Stoudt and Mark Malone


John Clayton, who covered the Steelers for the Pittsburgh Press at the time, suggested to Rooney they could get Dan Marino and Rivera. Take Marino with the first pick, Clayton suggested, and trade Stoudt for a high second-round pick. Rivera probably would still be available for them.

"I respected Clayton's opinion and thought it was a great idea,'' Rooney said. "We should have done it. But I made a mistake.''

The mistake he made was, after Noll and the scouts agreed it was a great idea, they asked how he came up with it. Rooney told them it came from Clayton, the sports writer.

"Clayton? You gotta be kidding!" Rooney quotes Noll and the scouts collectively.

"And that was the end of it,'' Rooney writes.

Schefter......

He's younger, seems to have more inside information week in and week out. He is very reliable and his information pans out 9 times out of 10. He has newer and branched out networks as John Clayton is older and may not be able to make the same relationships due to his length of tenure and lack of knowledge with the younger networks. Besides, John Clayton was only on top when Sean Salisbury still worked for ESPN....
