Bart Scott’s war with the media continues.
The Jets’ linebacker threatened Dan Leberfeld of Jets Confidential, during the team’s open locker room session on Friday. The reporter had tried to snap to a photo of Scott as he was leaving the room, as he was having a personal conversation with another reporter. Scott strongly took issue with Leberfeld taking the picture.
“I’ll smack the s*** out of you,” Scott yelled at him. “And I’m going to sue you,” Leberfeld fired back. The two were separated by Jets media relations director Bruce Speight and another member of the PR staff. Scott looked furious as he backed off and left the room.
This was not an isolated incident. On Wednesday, Leberfeld took a picture of Scott speaking with another female reporter. When that reporter noticed Leberfeld taking the picture, she became upset and left the room.
Scott recently declared a media boycott after being unhappy with the way he and the team have been portrayed. Leberfeld said he was taking the pictures to prove that Scott was still speaking with reporters.
