Are you blind, Bart?
Yesterday, former Ravens linebacker turned media member Bart Scott said Marquise “Hollywood” Brown wouldn’t start for any other top NFL receiving unit.
Hollywood Brown called Bart Scott’s comments on him not starting for the NFL’s top offenses “foolishness.”
“I don’t care what he says.”

Hollywood made a joke back, acknowledging his comment and brushing off the commentary.
His name Bart what you expect https://t.co/sbhvfgePCW

Today, Scott fired a second shot.

“[Marquise Brown] would not start over anybody in that conference,” Scott said. “That’s just the facts. You wouldn’t start over Ja’Marr Chase. You wouldn’t start over Tee Higgins, Tyler Boyd. You wouldn’t start over Pittsburgh [Steelers] wide receivers. You damn straight ain’t starting over [Odell] Beckham [Jr.] and [Jarvis] Landry. So, like, where’s the line. Like, I can continue to go.”
Alright, Bart, let’s do some homework. I’m going to pull up the stats of every single receiver you mentioned during your two-minute and 20-second diatribe against Brown and we’ll see where the chips fall.
Standings
- Hollywoood Brown, among the names listed by Scott, places fifth in receiving yards, behind only Cooper Kupp, Tyreek Hill, Mike Williams and Ja’Marr Chase.
- He is 102 yards from Kupp, the leader among the receivers named by Scott. He is 58 yards ahead of the No. 6 place receiver, Mike Evans.
- In terms of touchdowns, Hollywood is tied for second with Kupp and Chase, who are all behind only Williams.
- Among the players listed, Hollywood has the most 20+ yard plays, with nine. Behind him are Kupp and Evans at eight, and the list gradually declines.
Stats & Facts
- Hollywood is currently the No. 8 receiver in the NFL in terms of receiving yards. Not just the rudimentary list created by Scott, but in all of football.
- Hollywood’s averaging nearly over 90 yards per game. For the 2021 season, Hollywood is on pace for 95 receptions for 1,533 yards and 17 touchdowns. He’s been a serious part of the Ravens offense this sesaon, and was the catalyst in the comeback against the Indianapolis Colts and also the player to close it out with the walk-off touchdown.
Furthermore
The ending of Scott’s commentary was reinforcing racist workplace bias, and it’s a pretty wild that it’s being so overlooked.
“Bartholomew will get an interview anywhere. Marqwueez, Marquise… mmm… you might not get called back sometimes,” Scott said.
This isn’t something, I assume, that Bart Scott should be happy about, or proud of. It’s not a good thing that your name being Bart or Bartholomew gets better opportunities than the name Marquise. Do better.
