NFL Network’s Kyle Brandt is the latest to fire a shot at ESPN’s Ryan Clark. Earlier this week, Clark found himself at the center of controversy when he belittled ESPN colleague Peter Schrager for being “a non-player” giving his opinion on sports.
Ryan Clark: “That’s the non-player in you”
Peter Schrager: “Don’t belittle me like that, I can come and say as three ex-players are saying one thing, and give an alternative perspective”

Clark eventually apologized to Schrager on social media.
“Today, I had an interaction with my colleague @PSchrags both on and off the air that I regret. I have apologized to Peter and taken accountability with ESPN leadership. I value working with Peter and look forward to this season. My focus will remain on professionalism, teamwork, and being a better teammate moving forward.”
On Sunday, Brandt defended his former ‘Good Morning Football’ co-host and fired a shot at Clark on live TV.
“And a special shout-out to the non-players today. We see you, we respect you, on our set, and on several others.”
