Former ESPN analyst Ryan Clark spoke candidly about his departure from the network during an appearance at Fanatics Fest NYC 2026 at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City on July 19, 2026. Clark, a former NFL safety and Super Bowl winner, said, “It does suck that I don’t get to do it no more,” referring to his role on ESPN’s NFL coverage.
The event, part of the inaugural Fanatics Fest, featured Clark onstage discussing his transition from broadcasting to other ventures. He did not disclose specific future plans but acknowledged the emotional challenge of leaving a platform he had been part of for several years.
