Football fans are teeing off on ESPN NFL analyst Ryan Clark for the brooch and suit outfit he wore for the network’s Week 7 coverage.

Ryan Clark, Scott Van Pelt, Marcus Spears and Jason Kelce were at Ford Field to preview the Detroit Lions-Tampa Bay Buccaneers game on “Monday Night Countdown.” This was the first of two games on Monday night, with the Houston Texans-Seattle Seahawks tilt at Lumen Field following at 10:00 p.m. EST.

Clark is one of ESPN’s most polarizing personalities, with fans often calling for the network to fire the former Pittsburgh Steelers star safety. But on Monday night, he didn’t spark outrage with controversial statements or hot takes.

Instead, fans were unhappy with the “RC” brooch he put on his suit:

Social media had a field day ripping on Ryan Clark’s customized brooch:

“That RC pin Ryan Clark be wearing pmo lmao,” a fan said.

“Why is Ryan Clark wearing a clash Royale woman’s brooch,” a user asked.

“It’s such a silly thing to see,” inquired another.

“Ryan Clark sporting an even cornier “RC” lapel than I thought was possible,” a fan added.

“There is no way to avoid Ryan Clark’s custom brooch every Monday night. Sends me into fight or flight,” said another.

Unfortunately for the folks who dislike Clark’s brooch but can’t avoid turning off “Monday Night Countdown”, ESPN still has plenty of football coverage left before the season ends.

Ryan Clark Spent Most Of His NFL Career With The Steelers

Clark signed with the New York Giants as an undrafted free agent out of LSU in 2002. He spent two seasons there and a couple with the Washington Commanders before landing with the Steelers in 2006.

There, he became a key contributor on a star-studded defense led by Troy Polamalu, James Harrison, Ike Taylor, Brett Keisel and James Farrior. Clark’s efforts helped the Steelers to a Super Bowl 43 championship in the 2008 season, and another AFC championship banner in 2020.

Clark played eight seasons for the Steelers and ranks 12th in franchise history with 44 pass breakups, per Pro Football Reference.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
