Fans were hoping to see the Diggs brothers play, but they won’t be able to do so at Highmark Stadium between the Bills and the Cowboys. Trevon Diggs, the younger sibling, sustained an accident during practice on Thursday when he tore his ACL.

When his brother lined up against him in a late-season playoff situation, it was going to be a remarkable event for the two of them as well as the audience.

According to an untimely joke made by ESPN commentator and former NFL linebacker Bart Scott, the Cowboys’ plight was unavoidable. In a recent edition of First Take, Scott said something about Stefon’s brother.

Stefon didn’t take the joke lightly. Despite his reputation on social media for cryptic comments, Stefon swiftly called out Scott on X in favor of Trevon.

Stefon Diggs was irritated when Bart Scott made light of his younger brother Trevon’s circumstances.

On Friday, ESPN anchor Scott faced fire for making a crude joke about Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs, who had just suffered a season-ending ACL rupture in practice. Scott grinned about “something bad always happen[ing]” to the Cowboys, and his “First Take” co-hosts instantly called him out on it.

Stefon, a Buffalo Bills receiver, also joined in on Scott’s bad joke in a post on X and didn’t hold back.

“I’m Bart Scott.” “Like, what did you get out of it?” Stefon put pen to paper. “Other than looking like a [clown emoji].”

Stefon also tweeted in the same window, “Ol fake try to be funny a-” (profanity deleted by LBS).

Stefon later retweeted a post by Cowboys safety Jayson Kearse with the caption, “Keep these cornballs off the TV.”

Joking about major injuries and other sorts of tragedies is often frowned upon, particularly among individuals with national media platforms. Scott, on the other hand, apparently missed the memo and walked away from the part looking like a complete moron.

Stefon is well-known for his tight relationship with his brother Trevon, so he wasn’t going to let Scott’s low blow go unnoticed.
