Micah Richards ‘banned’ from CBS Sports segment as Jamie Carragher leaves panel in stitches with X-rated jokes
Micah Richards was ‘banned’ from discussing Brest on Tuesday night, leading to a hilariously immature conversation about the French side. Brest were facing Barcelona in the Champions League and as part of CBS Sport’s coverage of the night’s action, Kate Abdo, Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Richards were set to take a look at the side. Richards couldn’t contain his laughter during a hilariously immature segment on CBSX: @CBSSportsGolazo CBS Sports have built a reputation for combining sports content with comedy and entertainment, leading to a number of memorable moments in their recent coverage. Several of their viral moments this season have come from discussing the unfortunately-named French side. Brest – full name Stade Brestois 29 – who get their moniker from the port city in western France, are making their debut in the Champions League. Knowing from past conversations surrounding the club that ex-Manchester City star Richards has a somewhat immature sense of humour, Abdo took the opportunity to continue the fun. “We are going to do a segment about Brest, but unfortunately you’ve consistently proven that you can’t stay professional when talking about Brest so production would ask are you comfortable just staying silent?” Richards responded: “Come on, Kate. I can do this! You can’t trust me?,” to which Abdo replied: “No, we can’t. Experience has taught us not to trust you.” Beginning the segment, Abdo asked: “So after four games, who here likes Brest?” to which Carragher immediately raised his hand. “You like Brest?” asked Abdo, with Carragher replying: “I like the shape of them.” This led Richards to burst out laughing as he watched on in disbelief. Abdo continued: “You look at the setup that the manager has got – do you think he’s going with a front two tonight?” Henry replied: “Yeah, two big – a big pair up front who will try to…” “Work off each other,” interrupted Carragher. Richards tried desperately to contain his laughterX: @CBSSportsGolazo Richards got the giggles after being ‘banned’ from discussing BrestX: @CBSSportsGolazo Abdo then asked: “I’m interested to know how much you like to watch them, would you pay to watch them?” Carragher then replied: “I have done,” which led to hysterical laughter from Henry and Richards. Henry then added: “One thing you have to say is that you don’t have to be big, you can be small to compete,” with Abdo replying: “Hmm, that’s interesting.” The anchor then asked: “Do you think Brest could get exposed tonight?” with Carragher cheekily replying: “I hope so!” With a look of disbelief on his face, Richards asked: “What is this? What is this? Nonsense! HR? Wow!” Abdo then asked: “What do you think Micah? Do you think Barcelona could come a bit quickly for Brest tonight?”. The ex-Man City star couldn’t believe what he was listening toX: @CBSSportsGolazo However, Carragher – no stranger himself to risque comments on CBS – replied: “Oooh, I think we might have crossed the line.” Richards then responded: “You’re trying to get me sacked! I’m taking the fifth (amendment),” with a big exhale. The panel then went on to properly analyse the French side, before Abdo wrapped up the segment. She said: “Daydreaming about Brest, I’m sure you can all relate,” to which Richards replied: “What is going on here?” The match itself soon proved to be no laughing matter for Brest, who ended up losing to Barcelona 3-0. Robert Lewandowski helped himself to a double – the first of which was his 100th Champions League goal. The Polish striker joined the CBS panel after his heroics, saying: “You have to dream always, and I didn’t believe that I could be scoring more than 100 goals in the Champions League and today I am here so I can be proud [of] myself and also for the team. “I’m very happy with how we’re playing and also how many goals we’re scoring with there being so many young players in the team. “Sometimes I feel like a teenager at this club and it makes me stronger.”
