ESPN reporter complains that Tebow didn’t hand scoop to ESPN

Posted by Mike Florio on April 20, 2015, 3:01 PM EDT

On Sunday, Jay Glazer of FOX Sports reported that Tim Tebow had agreed to terms with the Eagles. Tim Tebow separately is employed by ESPN. Which makes the fact that Glazer scooped ESPN regarding an ESPN employee even more noteworthy.

And that has been noticed by other ESPN employees. John Barr of ESPN griped on Twitter about Tebow’s failure to hand the scoop to his other employer.

“What gets me is how people take $$$ from the WWL then let OTHERS break news of their career changes,” Barr said on Twitter. “Lookin at u Tebow & Parcells.” (Though an unverified account, ESPN has confirmed that it belongs to Barr.)

On one hand, it would make sense for someone who gets paid by ESPN to hand the news of a career development to ESPN. On the other hand, it’s not required. It also assumes that, in this specific case, Tebow consciously chose to give the news to Glazer and not to Adam Schefter. It’s entirely possible that Glazer got the information independent of Tebow.

With or without knowing whether Tebow was Glazer’s source, it’s not the best look for an ESPN reporter to publicly complain about it. Especially on the same day Schefter explained that, if given commissioner powers over the sports media for a day, he’d have members of the media stop speculating about the sources for reports.

That's awesome. That list reads like the Eagles QB depth chart.

I especially love Bradford on there, because you are starting to hear Eagles fans trying to convince themselves Bradford is good.

There was discussion on this board about how Sam Bradford was so good when healthy. Yeah, okay.

I don't know about that but I remember saying that even when healthy he didn't play very good.

Oh yeah, I can remember at least one poster saying he was good when he wasn't hurt.

I think Austin Davis looked better last year then Bradford does when healthy.

Yeah, and then you put Bradford into a Kelly-type offense and it will even further expose him. That's what makes all of this so weird... yet hilarious.

1 year deal. Haven't seen the dollar amounts yet.

Bradford, Sanchez, Tebow ...and the Eagles are going to trade the farm to get Mariota, no doubt. I don't understand any of it.
NFL's been around for almost 100 years, and Chip is smarter than everyone that ever took part in the game, I guess.

Tebow is friggin' brilliant. He's physically a god, he got another chance to get onto a team. His source is Jay Glazer. He'll be so well set up to be the "Holy Warrior" in WWE or MMA it will be ridiculous.

Vet minimum... no bonuses or incentives.
