Bart Scott pays the price for spreading lies about the Patriots

Leave it to a former New York Jet and Baltimore Raven to say something embarrassingly stupid about the New England Patriots on national television.

Bart Scott, an ex-NFL linebacker, joined a speaking panel on FS1’s “First Things First” morning sports talk show on Monday and proceeded to deliver one of the most blatant examples of fake news and misinformation imaginable, per USA Today’s Andy Nesbitt.

Apparently these distinguished members of the media were discussing the importance of the Patriots securing home-field advantage in the playoffs – something that may have slipped out of their grasp this past weekend when they lost to Houston and Baltimore beat San Francisco.
