Kate Scott wasted little time in poking fun at Micah Richards about Manchester City and their guilty verdict on financial charges.
As we have extensively covered here on talkSPORT, an independent commission found them guilty on all charges related to financial rule breaches in the Premier League from 2009 to 2018.

City have lodged an appeal and claim to have a ‘comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence’ supporting them, but face serious sanctions including points deductions and relegation.
Stripped titles is another possible outcome which means Richards, who won the 2011/12 Premier League and 2010/11 FA Cup with City, could have his winners’ medals invalidated.
The former defender made an emotional plea to his old club to disclose the evidence that they say supports their innocence.
Richards acknowledged that his success could now be in question amid the verdict.
But, when Scott opened the CBS Sports coverage of the Champions League on Tuesday night, she poked fun at her colleague.
Scott delivers brutal dig at Richards
“I’m Kate Scott. I’m joined by a man who has won it all – the World Cup, the Euros, the Champions League, the Premier League, LaLiga, Thierry Henry.
“Next to him, a Champions League winner, he also won what was the UEFA Cup, now the Europa League, he won the FA Cup and the League Cup too, Jamie Carragher.
“And then… well, this is awkward. He already has less accolades than anybody else on set.
“For now, he is still a Premier League winner and FA Cup winner, until he has to mail those winners’ medals back to somebody at Stoke or Manchester United. What will he tell women then, everybody? Big Meeks, Micah Richards!”
Richards cut a downcast figure in response, whilst Carragher laughed and Henry simply repeated: “Wow!”

City played their first match since the announcement of their guilty verdict on Sunday afternoon.
They were 3-0 winners against ten-man Liverpool with goals from Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku and Rayan Cherki.
Liverpool fans greeted them at Anfield with boos and banners that read ‘Cheats’ amid the ongoing saga.
However, City have won all six of their Premier League matches this season and sit top of the table.
They return to Champions League action on Wednesday night to host reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain, live on talkSPORT.
Former boss Pep Guardiola is set to be in attendance after publicly backing the club.
