Security called as Ian Rapoport is accosted by rival reporter at NFL Combine after Tom Brady dispute

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport was accosted by rival reporter Jordan Schultz as the Combine descended into farce on Wednesday.

Security were called after Rapoport reportedly had an X-rated 'verbal confrontation' with the Fox Sports NFL Insider in a Starbucks in Indianapolis.

According to NBC, Schultz confronted Rapoport while the NFL Network reporter was speaking to an agent.

The two big-name journalists, who routinely battle to break stories, then shared a brief back and forth with Schultz alleged to have said words to the effect of: 'If you have anything to say it to me, say it to my f***ing face.'

A few hours before the news broke on Wednesday, Schultz and Rapoport had posted conflicting reports about Tom Brady and Matthew Stafford.
