In late July, ESPN laid off Ryan Clark as part of a larger round of layoffs. Clark was informed of his firing while he was still working on "NFL Live". On Thursday, during an appearance on "ALL THE SMOKE" with host Matt Barnes, Clark described what he was told during a commercial break when ESPN let him go during a live show.
Clark says ESPN told him he could not work until he apologized for what he said about former LSU receiver Kyren Lacy, and he nearly quit over it. He said ESPN told him that if he did not apologize he could not work, and that he told his wife he planned to quit the network.
