Report: Ryan Clark could be on 'thin ice' at ESPN after Get Up confrontation with Peter Schrager

ESPN analyst Ryan Clark has been in the headlines more than once this year for issuing an apology after on-air remarks backfired on him. The latest?

Clark called out ESPN’s Peter Schrager for making analysis as a “non-player” while on the Get Up program on Friday. The segment started innocuously enough, then devolved into a tense confrontation.

And, according to reporting from Front Office Sports, the confrontation continued off camera as Ryan Clark and Schrager butted heads. That has left Clark, who has made a few notable missteps lately at ESPN, “on thin ice.”

The segment in question went into a discussion about whether CeeDee Lamb‘s dropped passes — including a key one late in the game — were the reason for Dallas’ loss to Philadelphia on Thursday Night Football. Schrager began, speaking to analyst Dan Orlovsky.

“Are you saying A.J. Brown had a better day than CeeDee Lamb?” Schrager said. Ryan Clark quickly interrupted.

“We shouldn’t do this on TV, so I apologize if people think this is rude: That’s the non-player in you,” Clark said. The undercutting of another analyst wasn’t something that sat well with Schrager.

“Oh, stop… Ryan, don’t belittle me like that,” Schrager said. “I can come in and say, as three ex-players are saying one thing, and give an alternative perspective.”

Ryan Clark would later apologize for the feud on Twitter on Friday night. It’s his second public apology in the last few months.

“Today, I had an interaction with my colleague @PSchrags both on and off the air that I regret,” Ryan Clark tweeted. “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.”

Earlier this year, Clark apologized for comments he made that involved fellow analyst Robert Griffin III‘s wife, Grete. The comments came in a discussion about WNBA stars Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark.
