• Clark told Schrager, “That’s the non-player in you,” during a Sept. 5 Get Up segment debating A.J. Brown and CeeDee Lamb, prompting an on-air confrontation that drew viral attention.
• Clark later apologized on X, saying he regretted an interaction that continued off camera and that he had taken accountability with ESPN leadership.
• Despite the flap, both analysts appeared together on Monday’s NFL Live from Chicago, opening with a fist bump, as first reported by The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand and detailed by Front Office Sports.
