Bart Scott’s co-host Chris Carlin calls it ‘a very tough day’
Speaking about Bart Scott’s departure from ESPN New York, Carlin said: “Frankly, it’s all just kind of setting in. There’s a lot of things that are still up in the air. So, just to not ignore it completely, because that would be somewhat silly on my part for sure. There’s not a whole lot more I can say about it at the moment.”
Sharing his experience of being laid off before, he stated, “Similar to a lot of colleagues, I have been in this position before. I am thinking of them. And it’s not an easy place to be. If you personally have been there before in your career, you know what it’s like.”
He further lauded Scott by mentioning that “I love him. Just for so many people, this is a very tough day. This is an unfortunate reality across a lot of industries these days, especially ours.”
