CBS has just made it official. Bart Scott, formerly of the New York Jets and Baltimore Ravens, steps up from CBS Sports Network’s That Other Pregame Show to the CBS Mothership.
He joins the show that just signed Tony Gonzalez and dropped Dan Marino and Sterling Sharpe. So the cast will consist of mainstays James Brown, Bill Cowher and Boomer Esiason along with newcomers Gonzalez and Scott.
Here’s the official announcement.
BART SCOTT NAMED ANALYST FOR “THE NFL TODAY”
Scott Expands Role at CBS to Provide Analysis Across Multiple Platforms Including CBS Sports, CBS Sports Network and SHOWTIME®
Bart Scott has been named studio analyst for the CBS Television Network’s NFL pre-game show, THE NFL TODAY, elevating his role from last season where he was a studio analyst on CBS Sports Network’s weekly Sunday pre-game show THAT OTHER PREGAME SHOW (TOPS). The announcement was made today by Sean McManus, Chairman, CBS Sports.
Scott will join James Brown, Bill Cowher, Boomer Esiason and recently named Tony Gonzalez on THE NFL TODAY.
In addition to THE NFL TODAY, Scott will expand his role at CBS providing analysis across multiple platforms, contributing to INSIDE THE NFL on SHOWTIME and appearing in weekly segments on TOPS.
“Bart joining THE NFL TODAY is a natural progression from his outstanding work during his first season on TOPS,” said McManus. “Bart brings a dynamic personality and unique perspective as a recently retired player providing strong opinions on all the hot-button issues on a weekly basis. We are confident he will continue to bring that perspective and those opinions to THE NFL TODAY.”
Scott joined CBS Sports in August 2013 serving as a studio analyst during the 2013 NFL season for CBS Sports Network’s Sunday football studio program, THAT OTHER PREGAME SHOW. Before joining CBS Sports, Scott’s NFL career spanned 11 years playing with the Baltimore Ravens (2002-08) and New York Jets (2009-12). In 2006, he was a Pro Bowl selection and earned All Pro honors.
That concludes this post.
