"Brandt, during a hit on The NFL Today on CBS on Sunday, not-so-subtly showed his support for his former Good Morning Football co-host on Sunday, days after Schrager was written off as a non-player by ex-NFL safety Ryan Clark on Friday's episode of ESPN's Get Up. Schrager quickly defended himself after the barb, telling the 13-year NFL veteran, Don't belittle me like that. On Sunday, Brandt immediately referenced the viral moment as the CBS crew threw it to him."
"Clark, meanwhile, apologized for disparaging Schrager in an X post on Friday. 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."
Kyle Brandt publicly backed Peter Schrager during a CBS NFL Today segment, referencing a viral exchange after Ryan Clark called Schrager a non-player. Schrager had replied on-air, Don't belittle me like that, following Clark's remark on ESPN's Get Up. Brandt joked about seeing and respecting the "non-players" while acknowledging colleagues across sets, signaling solidarity with Schrager. Schrager previously co-hosted Good Morning Football with Brandt before moving to ESPN in early 2025. Clark apologized on X, saying he regretted the interaction, had apologized to Peter, and would focus on professionalism, teamwork, and accountability.
