Adam Schefter Responds To Stephon Gilmore’s Wife Disputing Cam Newton Dinner Report

Adam Schefter has responded to Stephon Gilmore’s wife disputing a Cam Newton dinner report. The New England Patriots are looking to get back on track after a difficult couple of weeks.

Who would have thought that a meal that might or might not have been in the works could have caused so much of an issue.

Take a look at the background. Last week, ESPN’s Adam Schefter gave a report that Stephon Gilmore had a dinner with Cam Newton back on Oct. 2. This was important due to the fact that his positive COVID-19 was on that very day.

Gilmore then went to travel with the Patriots to Kansas City and play in New England’s loss to the Chief. But then, last Tuesday, he also tested positive for COVID-19.

And then, NESN.com’s Doug Kyed said on Tuesday in a story about the dinner, Gilmore’s wife, Gabrielle, came out and said there never was a dinner.

But Adam Schefter stood by his reporting.

"Cam Newton and Stephon Gilmore had dinner Friday night. I don't know where they ate but they had dinner together Friday night."@AdamSchefter

Well, there you go.

The Patriots have been trying to get back on track ever since. Bill Belichick talked about this recently.

“Today’s an important day in our preparation for the Broncos,” Belichick said. “We’ve had several days now of virtual meetings between the staff members and from the staff to the players. We’ve been able to cover a lot of things, but we haven’t spent any time together, so today’s our opportunity to do that. We look forward to that. One thing that we’ve learned this year repeatedly has been we have to be ready to adjust and adapt to changes and modifications and the way we do things and, in some cases, decisions that really come down to a very short amount of time that we have to be ready to adjust to.”

“So we’re certainly taking things day by day — probably hour by hour would be more accurate. We’ll just see how we progress and then as we find out more on our end, or if there are other things externally that we can’t control that, then we’ll deal with those as they come. That’s the way it’s been all year. I think our team and our players have done a good job of handling those adjustments, and we’ll continue to do that.”
