Bart on Lewis: I Could Care Less...

Bart Scott fixed his lips in a straight line, refusing to elicit any emotion. Instead, he appeared indifferent as reporters peppered him with questions about Ray Lewis’ recent comments about the Jets' trash talking.

 “I don’t even know what he said,” Scott replied. “I just know he said something. But like I said, it’s just part of the show. I mean, that’s not anything uncommon from all the things that he says. …That’s just how he builds it up.”

Lewis warned the Jets Thursday about writing checks you can’t cash during his conference with the New York media. He also said earlier in the week that last year’s Super Bowl champs, the New Orleans Saints, are “the only people that can be dethroned” – an obvious dig at the Jets’ Super Bowl talk.

“I could care less what he said,” Scott, a no-show during the media’s locker room availability Thursday, said of his former Ravens teammate. “He can’t play fullback for Ray Rice. …If anything, it raises both teams’ level so when you get on the field, people are more easily agitated, so if something sparks off or if a questionable hit happens, you get some of the tussling and that type of stuff. And it makes it more of a passionate game when you feel somebody said something on both sides. It's more of a chippier game.”

Scott did, however, manage to get in one dig of his own.

"That’s probably the worst commercial I've seen in my life," he said of Scott Lewis’' Old Spice commercial, which aired during Thursday night’s Vikings-Saints game. “It look like they shot that thing with a -- I don’t know what kind of camera that was shot in. I don’t know what that was. Looked like some students shot that."

When asked about facing his former team, Scott said flatly: “It’s no problem with me chancing the switch. When it’s time to play football you have no friends. Still respect those guys, still love’em, but I could care less when it come to game day.”

“It’s more important for me and for this team to get off to a fast start, open up the stadium in the right way, and be the quality football. All that other stuff, they can have that.”
