Ian Rapoport on players announcing their own scoops: ‘I don’t own all the news’

"I would prefer I get to break all the news," Rapoport joked.

"You have 24 hours to fix this...or I’m coming for your little ass"

"That’s what you journalists do, it’s unbelievable"

"I bet him. I lost. The stakes were I had to post this. I’m a man of my word."

"So maybe we, you know, go shake their hands and make it happen."

Ian Rapoport described X's NFL free agency outage as "disorienting and weird," admitting he had no idea what news he had broken.

"I've never seen news travel faster."

At a time where most NFL free agents get treated with kid gloves, insiders haven't been shy to tell Aaron Rodgers to hurry it up.

"Just watch TV, we’ll do all the news here, it’s totally fine"

"It was an important thing to say, important to get off my chest."

"Uber stock?"

"This was a roller coaster of a week for all parties involved."

We’re just glad both insiders lived to tell the tale.

"I was in Starbucks today. It's dangerous in there."

It doesn't matter if the meeting was a "chance encounter" or prearranged.

"There's actually a lot of great coffee brands."

"Head on a swivel."

Things are percolating.

A planned meeting and potential tampering -- or a coincidental encounter?

"Nope. Nonsense."

"There was never an ultimatum or rules of engagement for Aaron to potentially join the Jets again — that never happened.

"One of the funnier agent(ish) copy-paste tweets in a while."

While offseason expectations were discussed, there were no ultimatums.

"So much awaits him when he decides to not play football."
