Stefon Diggs was not at all pleased about Bart Scott poking fun at his younger brother Trevon's misfortune.
The ESPN host Scott received backlash on Friday for a joke in poor taste about Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs, who just suffered a season-ending ACL tear in practice. Scott smirked about “something bad always happen[ing]” to the Cowboys and immediately got called out by his “First Take” co-hosts for doing so.
The older Diggs brother also chimed in about Scott’s lousy joke in a post to X and did not hold back.
“Bart scott. Like what did you gain from that ?” Stefon wrote. “Other than looking like a [clown emoji].”
He also posted another tweet in the same window that read, “Ol fake try to be funny a**."
A retweet from Diggs of a post by Cowboys safety Jayson Kearse reading, “Keep these cornballs from off the tv,” later followed as well.
Joking about serious injuries and other types of misfortune is generally off-limits, especially for those who have national media platforms. Scott clearly did not get the memo and came away from that segment looking pretty buffoonish.
The two-time All-Pro Bills receiver is famously close with his brother, so he definitely wasn’t about to let Scott’s low blow slide.
