‘I knew it!’ – Kate Abdo calls out Micah Richards on live TV as CBS Sports pundit caught slacking
KATE ABDO hilariously called out Micah Richards for slacking live on air during CBS Sports’ Champions League coverage.
Richards, 35, was a part of the broadcaster’s regular line-up alongside Abdo, Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher on Tuesday night ahead of the quarter-finals involving Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.
Kate Abdo asked Micah Richards if he saw a segment when the cameras cut back to them
Richards initially claimed he had seen the video but quickly admitted he was doing something else
Jamie Carragher praised Richards for quickly changing the subject
Richards smiled and laughed his way through the moment
But he appeared to drift off during a segment showing Henry during his playing days.
The clip ended with the Arsenal icon lifting the Champions League aloft after he won it with Barcelona in 2009.
The coverage then cut back to the studio as host Abdo said: “Young Titi.”
Turning and looking at Richards, she added: “Did you see him?”
Initially appearing a little flustered, the ex-Manchester City man then composed himself and said: “Yes, I saw him. Wow, va va voom.”
Abdo responded: “You didn’t see. You weren’t even watching the video.”
Richards momentarily disputed Abdo’s claim, saying: “I did, it’s right here.”
But when Carragher then asked what Henry was doing in the video, the former England right-back replied “It doesn’t matter,” before the entire panel started laughing.

Abdo poked fun, adding: “I knew you weren’t watching.”
But Richards was keen to move things on as he asked Henry how it feels “to be him”.
And Liverpool legend Carragher acknowledged the “switch” of subject as he cracked up again alongside Richards.
