An outlet has reported where things stand with Clark and ESPN

ESPN has decided on the feud between NFL analysts Ryan Clark and Peter Schrager.

The pair were part of a furious live television exchange during ESPN’s Get Up.

Last Friday, Clark took a shot at the new addition Schrager during a discussion about the Philadelphia Eagles’ season-opening win over the Dallas Cowboys.

The 13-year NFL veteran criticized Schrager for defending CeeDee Lamb’s performance in the loss, saying the opinion was predictable for someone who’s never played in the league.

On the same day, Clark apologized for taking it a step further in the discussion.

Still, there were questions about whether the pair would work together on TV again.

But ESPN has decided to have Clark and Schrager continue appearing on the airwaves, as the pair worked on NFL Live on Monday and the network’s program throughout this week.

“Ryan Clark & Peter Schrager will both be on ESPN’s NFL Live this afternoon from Chicago. There will be a segment or two together,” The Athletic reported on Monday.

However, Clark’s future with ESPN could be murky.

It was reported that Clark could be on “thin ice” at the network, per Front Office Sports.

The 45-year-old has already had public beefs with others, including former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III and Cam Newton, who currently works with ESPN.

The outlet pointed out four top reasons for Clark’s problematic situation, which included that the “network hates ESPN-on-ESPN” quarrels.

The Clark-Schrager live TV argument went viral on social media.

“The thing is this, though. And 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.

“I’m not looking at fantasy football. Ryan, don’t belittle me like that,” Schrager said.

“I can come in, as three ex-players are saying one thing, and give an alternative that maybe CeeDee Lamb did play well.”

Plenty of fans sided with Schrager and called out Clark and his attitude.

“Peter Schrager means more to NFL fans than Ryan Clark,” one fan said.

“Having Ryan Clark on is a complete embarrassment,” another fan said.

Clark would issue an apology, writing on X, “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,” he wrote on X.
