Scott is a co-host on CMB with Chris Carlin and Maggie Gray. The three took over the afternoon show when Mike Francesa left in December. He is scheduled to return next week.
Scott responded to Russo on CMB Thursday.
“It’s not rocket science what we’re talking about here,” Scott said. “… I think I can catch up pretty good. This job’s about baseball, but it’s about a lot more than that, it’s about other sports as well. I’ll put my football acumen, my basketball acumen, my boxing knowledge about anything that he can think about. He couldn’t hold a candle to that … This is what happens when people start getting old and see the end coming. They start to try find excuses, to find reasons why they’re not relevant anymore. Your time is past, my time is now. And listen, I already retired and I’m in your sandbox now and I’m pushing you off. You’ll be a non-factor in probably the next two years.”
My prediction is it will be the other way around. Especially since Scott is already a non-factor and Mad Dog is still a star.
