As good of a reporter as he is an analyst….Sadly, confirmed. Griddy days are over.

Schefter underwent an MRI, he’s afraid that he tore his ACL hitting the Griddy prior to the kickoff of a Monday Night Football game.

“We don’t know that it was [the Griddy]. I’m presuming, because shortly after that my knee began bothering me.”

“So it can’t be proven that it was from that,” Schefter continued. “But it could’ve been that twist right there!” he said after watching back the footage.

Sure does sound like a reporter who’s never played sports in his entire life.
