Are the press allowed to take pics in the lockeroom without permission? Maybe Bart Scott was not dressed?

I love the folks who credit the media for being the reason we have sports coverage. When’s the last time anyone read a football article and came away amazed at the literary “skill” of the journalist? we could replace many of these self-important d-bags with third graders and get the same info. the TEAMS provide unprecedented access and spoonfeed these pilot fish. The truth is that Chad Pennington hit the nail on the head when he let the NY media know they should feel privileged for their jobs… but we all saw how the sharks frenzied on that one.

If I was Bart I wouldn’t want to talk to the media either. The only difference making play he has made in the past two years was when he kicked Revis in the head. Bart was amusing when he could play. Now he misses tackles and needs to shut up.

Leberfeld was just sending some pics to the ol’ gunslinger’s phone- why did Scott get so upset?

I’ve had it passed my head about that “I’ll sue” bs. Give me a break already. Too many cowards suing and claiming bs, and they win. How about that moron that caught the huge snow ball from Shaun Ellis and was raising it up in the air like he won something. Lo and behold he tries to sue and claim all sorts of trauma (physical, mental, emotional, hand, using had to….).

Now this little chicken twurp brings that up. I’m sure he would’ve pulled that emotional trauma card and claim that whenever he enters a public restroom he cringes. Give me a break. This guy should lose his job for that. That is unprofessional.

I hate the Jets, and Bart Scott is one of my most hated Jets, but I am on his side here. Picture not withstanding, don’t engage in a potential fight if you’re not ready to fight, and please don’t include “I’ll sue.” Sick of people in America suing and running to the cops when they provoke fights and then get smashed. Some are saying that Bart shouldn’t threaten a reporter who he knows he can crush. Well, I am sure that Bart Scott could crush me, but if I got into a conflict with him and believed in my stance, we would just have to fight and he would just have to crush me; no law suit.

The reporter may have been asking for trouble, but the cell phone pics aren’t an uncommon practice. Notice there was other media on hand to report on this incident, so it wasn’t like the guy was sneaking around like a perv or anything. And looking at the jetsconfidential website, they post video and photos of player interviews in the locker room.

Reporters have to much access. They need to stay out of locker room. Dan Leberfeld is known for provoking players. Why would he use his cell phone for pics? Especially after Bart was drying off?? Gezzzz!

Leberfeld needs to be kicked of the air at SIRIUS for this incident. ANY reporter that threatens to sue doesn’t deserve to be in the locker room.

If Bart would have been able to throw him a beating and I were the judge I’d throw the lawsuit out after I threw Lebernan a beating myself.
Good thing I’m not a judge.

What a creeper.

What a loser. The players are in the locker room after practicing and trying to shower and change, and some reporter whips out his cellphone to take pics?

Bart Scott’s Mansion was on a recent Tanked episode. My first thought of his ridiculously large home and equally ridiculous koi ponds was that I wonder when the bank is going to foreclose.

if a guy eggs on a millionaire to the point of violence just so he can sue. that should be brought before the court and that lowlife should get nothing

Yeah, you really shouldn’t be taking pictures in a locker room. “Jetsconfidential.com” is hardly a media outlet and that why shouldn’t have been allowed in the locker room in the first place.

Can anyone with a hack website get press credentials now?

Can’t blame Scott. Little creepy to have a grown man take a cell phone picture of you.

Bart should at least buy Dan a new pair of pants, I’m sure aforementioned pants were soiled during the incident.

Funny. I used to be very entertained by Bart Scott, but now I just shrug off these outbursts. Why do I only hear about Bart Scott when he is saying something assinine? Hey Bart! How about coming out and having a good game this week against Miami? I was starting to forget you were even on the team.

Seems to me that most of these reporters are the kids who had their underwear run up the flagpole by the football players. Couldn’t make the team and still hold a grudge.

According to Hubbuch, Lederfeld has as history of trying to provoke Scott. Sounds like a vendetta to me. And yes, some reporters carry vendettas against certain players.

The “I’ll sue” was a little lame since he would be much better off with, “and you’ll go to prison”. I agree with the other posters, who said that it is kind of pathetic for a big, professional athlete to physically threaten a writer physically.
That said, they either allow camera, and pictures to be taken in the locker room, or they don’t. If they do, then the writer was right, if not, the writer was wrong for snapping a shot. Considering all the locker room shot I have seen over the years, I suspect that cameras are allowed.

Y’all know that if wasn’t for reporters none you you would have any way of knowing what was going on with the Jets, right? Good or bad, it’s the media that brings the NFL to you.

Don’t know the particulars of the case, and don’t care much for Bart Scott, but why is a reporter taking cell phone photos in a locker room????

And yes, this instigating “reporter” should be kicked out of the locker room for good….great points above…

Scott is so self important. He reminds me of Joey Porter. Once he’s gone no one will remember how he played, but only that he was a jerk. “Can’t wait” until he’s out of the league.

What happened to this guy? As a Jets fan, I am disappointed in the way he handles himself. The guy came in as a leader of the D but now he is a joke….dump em
