I don't think there's a video at all.

Schefters explanation, however, leads us to believe this isn't some kind of bs speculation. There is something here. It sounds like there's a question of whether the story will ever leak, not whether it actually happened.

He himself is saying things alluding to the fact that there is one.

I wonder if someone is trying to sell it to the highest bidder.

It sounds to me like that's the biggest issue right now. It sounds like the reason it wouldn't come to light is because someone got bought off, not because it doesn't exist.

...which is probably common practice.

It'd be interesting to see how many videos, pics, audio recordings, etc. have been bought to keep out of the public eye.

He like everyone else has heard rumors about it but hasn't seen it, doesn't know anybody that has seen it and despite working on it for about half a year now, doesn't even know how to get it.

Who's bidding on it? No one even knows whether it exists or not or where to go to buy it. So how can there be a bidding war?

Schefter has a lot of credibility on the line. If he was at all unsure, he wouldn't have answered the way he did. He wouldn't spend most of his past 6 months chasing ghosts.

He sounds pretty damn confident this is more than just some small rumor. I don't think we can just chalk this up to just another false rumor. This one seems to have more legs.

Deadspin offered Cash for the tape.

How does he have credibility on the line? All he has done so far is basically say that there may or not be a video and that he's trying to find out how to get it. He hasn't taken any stance one way or the other on it.

And how can anyone say it has legs when literally no one has seen it? No screenshots have been sent to TMZ or dead spin or any site that specializes in things like this, so how can there be a bidding war or anything of the sort. Until someone says that they have seen it or have seen a screenshot, I'm going to treat this as a BS rumor.

Buddy just sent me this via screenshot, won't tell me where got it.

Take it for what its worth:

So, beat the shit out of a dude then stuck a gun in his mouth

Schefter said he has spent a lot of energy on it. The details he gives makes it sound like there's a question of whether it's right for him to leak the info, not about doubt that the tape exists. He had multiple chances to soften his stance. He sounds pretty confident that what he knows is true.

Schefters spin adds credibility that florio did not. This went from a credible guy with sources, to a credible guy who seems to have much more direct information. The fact that schefter said what's holding up the release is complicated sure sounds to me that the hold up on release of the video has nothing to do with doubt about the videos authenticity.

He didn't sound confident in anything. He just sounds like a guy who has been chasing down what could be a very very huge story. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...nce-september/
