Bart Scott Calls Detroit Dirty

November 9, 2010 – Native Detroiter Bart “Loser” Scott has learned one thing well from his New York Jets head coach Rex Ryan. If you say it first, if you say it loud enough, and if you say it to the largest contingent of media following an NFL team, it will be reported as fact.
