Ted Lasso's sports journalist portrayal is looking good after it was slammed for being inaccurate

The Oct. 1 episode showing The Independent journalist Trent Crimm outing a source to Coach Lasso was widely denounced by real sports journalists, who said that wouldn't happen in the real world. But in wake of ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter's journalistic lapse in judgment this week, Crimm is being reevaluated. Schefter, a graduate of Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, was a veteran newspaper sports reporter before he joined the NFL Network in 2004 and then ESPN in 2009. A some have pointed out, Schefter got a leg up as a Denver Post reporter by becoming chummy with then-Denver Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan. They even wrote a book together. So Crimm's behavior on Ted Lasso does seem plausible. "Two weeks on from the penultimate episode of Ted Lasso, I feel naive to have seen the discussion around Trent Crimm’s source-burning as outlandishly fictional; indeed, numerous observers explicitly compared Crimm to Schefter this week, coming down, if anything, on Crimm’s side," Jon Allsop writes in the Columbia Journalism Review
