Bart Scott on time with Ravens: 'Had to make sure we had at least 2 people with a couple of felonies'

If it were left up to former NFL player and current ESPN radio host Bart Scott, roster building for teams looking to win championships would involve players also coming with police records. 

During the Thursday night's NFL draft coverage on ESPN Radio's "Freddie and Fitzsimmons," Scott opined on what teams need to do to toughen up. 

"You have to get some tough guys and everyone can't be choir boys," Scott said. "When I was with the Ravens we had to make sure that we had at least two people on the team with a couple of felonies, just to make sure our street cred was right, when we had to go in these back alleys and have some of these dog fights. Sometimes you have to have some people that's not no choir boys. That's why you have a strong locker room to hold them in check."

When the host tried to get Scott to walk back some of his comments, Scott paid no attention and kept on with his diatribe. 

"The funniest sign I ever saw in my life was 52 plus 31 equals 10 to 20. It was Ray Lewis and Jamal Lewis equals 10 to 20 in prison," Scott said. "Terrell Suggs beat a dude with a stop sign coming out of Arizona State. You gotta have a couple of guys like that. We can clean them up and get them counseling, but you got to have a couple of goons and you definitely have some goblins."

The next voice you hear is someone saying, "oh boy."

Scott is known for his controversial opinions. 

In January, before the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots played in an AFC Wild-Card game where temperatures were forecasted to be in the teens with a chance of snow, Scott had a suggestion for Bills quarterback Josh Allen in order to combat the cold.

"Take a Viagra before the game, baby. That’ll get that circulation going right,” Scott said. “A lot of NFL players, at least in my day, took Viagra because it opened up the blood vessels."
