Ryan Clark fired.

BRISTOL — When pissing off your co-workers goes wrong. This week’s “I F*cked Up A Good Job Award🏆” goes to football analyst Ryan Clark who was fired from ESPN in the middle of a broadcast. Ryan, 46, received a pink slip on Monday while appearing on “NFL Live.” He went home during commercial break and didn’t return with the rest of the panel. Ryan’s contract worth $2 million annually was subsequently cancelled. Talk about no class. Damn, Disney officials should’ve at least waited until the show was over. That said, even Stevie Wonder seen this coming. If you recall, Ryan ruffled some feathers last September when he insulted the intelligence of fellow analyst Peter Schrager in front of thousands of viewers during a live broadcast of “Get Up.” They were having contretemps about the performance of Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb when Ryan, who once played for the Pittsburgh Steelers, said Peter don’t know sh*t about football 🏈 because he never played.

Ryan: “The thing is this. We shouldn’t do this on TV. So, I apologize if people think this is rude. That’s the non-player in you.”

Peter: “I’m not the fantasy football guy. Don’t belittle me like that, I can come and say as three ex-players are saying one thing, and give an alternative perspective.”

Ryan: “Peter, what I need for you to do is not get mad and let me finish.”

Scuttlebutt has it Peter stormed off the set and threatened to quit. Ryan tweeted an apology shortly thereafter. “Today, I had an interaction with my colleague [Peter Schrager], both on and off the air, that I regret. I have apologized to Peter and taken accountability with ESPN leadership,” he wrote. “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.”

The apology obviously didn’t work.

There was also another incident that contributed to the termination.

Ryan, known for crying like a lil bitch on television, pissed off fellow analyst Robert Griffin III during a chinwag about the WNBA.

Robert said Angel Reese “hates” Caitlin Clark because she’s a snow bunny🐇, and Ryan retorted Robert has absolutely no idea what “Black women deal with” because he’s married to a white woman.

Robert went on social media and accused Ryan of hittin’ below the belt.

“Ryan Clark personally attacking me and my family personally over a sports opinion is cowardly, spineless, and weak,” he wrote.

Ryan Clark personally attacking me and my family personally over a sports opinion is a bad look for ESPN and for him as a man.”

Ryan pissed off Caucasian viewers too by saying Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Peyton Manning aren’t generational talents.

“I think John Elway was a generational talent. I think Patrick Mahomes is a generational talent,” he said on ESPN’s First Take.

“I don’t think Tom Brady, I don’t think Drew Brees, I don’t think Peyton Manning are generational talents.”

I don’t agree with a lot of the stuff Ryan says, but he’s correct about this.

Brady, Brees and Manning aren’t generational talents.

They’re high-IQ performers with weak arms and average athletic ability.

You can look at ’em and see they aren’t in the same class talent-wise as Mahomes and Elway.

Caleb Williams is a generational talent.

But he’s a sissy who paints his nails and wears lipstick💄, so he doesn’t count.

Anyway… ESPN said more firings are on the horizon due to budget cuts.

Will you miss Ryan?

Did he deserve to lose his job?

Watch Ryan piss off white folks.
