ESPN star Ryan Clark’s shenanigans wouldn’t prevail during a segment on Inside the NFL.
The 45-year-old Clark finally lost to the NFL legend Chad Ochocinco in a weekly competition of CW’s Inside the NFL.

The host Clark was alongside analysts Bill Belichick, Chris Long, and Ochocinco for the November 13 edition of the Inside the NFL program.
The show has a weekly segment called Football Guy of the Week as each analyst gives their nominee for their standout guy in each given week and Belichick picks the winner.
The Pittsburgh Steelers safety Clark has won the segment five times, Long has three wins, and the retired six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Ochocinco has just two victories.
Clark, Long, and Ochocinco were tasked with picking their nominees from Week 10.
The former Pittsburgh Steelers safety Clark nominated Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Drew Petzing after the team’s 31-6 victory over the New York Jets.
Ochocinco, meanwhile, picked New England Patriots special teamer and safety Brendan Schooler for his one-sack performance during the team’s 19-13 win against the Chicago Bears.
He noted that Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo said that Schooler can be “one of the best special-teams players ever.”
But Clark took issue with Ochocinco’s selection, throwing a red challenge flag next to him and saying that he selected someone who has a history with Belichick.
Schooler played under Belichick for two seasons.
“You can’t use people that have a direct attachment to Coach [Belichick],” Clark told Ochocinco.
Long’s nominee was New Orleans interim head coach Darren Rizzi, who won the first game under his new title after the firing of head coach Dennis Allen.
But Belichick wasn’t sold enough on Clark and Long’s picks as he chose Ochocinco’s player.
It was Ochocinco’s first win in the segment in over a month and he wasn’t afraid to celebrate the achievement.
The Cincinnati Bengals icon performed numerous push-ups in the studio.

Clark, Long, and Belichick were in hysterics over the sequence.
“It’s about time. That’s what I’m talking about. … I promise I’m not gonna tear up,” Ochocinco said.
He then hung up a portrait of Schooler on the board which shows the past winners of the segment.
Inside the NFL airs each Wednesday night at 9:00 pm Eastern on The CW.
This season, Belichick joined the show after coaching the Patriots for the last 23 years.
