JAMIE CARRAGHER and his CBS Sports pals hooped and hollered at footage of Kate Scott walking the Ballon d’Or red carpet in a plunging dress.
Carra, Thierry Henry and Micah Richards were back on punditry duty with the return of Champions League action on Tuesday.

One pre-match section began with Carragher saying: “I think the next round of applause should go to somebody else at this table who’s been on their travels.”
Addressing Scott, 44, the ex-Liverpool star added: “You’ve been on your travels, haven’t you, in the last week or so?”
All three then shrieked as the clips rolled, with Scott flaunting a show-stopping silver gown alongside boxing trainer husband Malik Scott at the glitzy Paris ceremony.
Richards then let out a childlike, high-pitched scream when the pair kissed in front of the cameras.
Carragher and former pro heavyweight boxer Malik have an awkward history stemming back to an ill-judged comment the footy pundit made on air last year.
After Scott insisted she was “loyal” to Manchester United, Carragher replied: “Not to Malik.”
Carragher and Scott’s hubby have since buried the hatchet but, according to Malik himself, things could have got ugly if there was no apology.
He said at the time: “Her being irritated by it a little bit is what really got to me.

“If Kate gets upset then it’s a really big deal to me and I’ll give him a call and if he doesn’t pick up my call, then I’ll show up in a physical manner so we can talk like men.”
Carragher did apologise, though, with Scott adding: “You can’t knock a man who admits he was wrong. In that regard I have high respect for him.”
CBS presenter Scott was part of the team that handed this year’s Ballon d’Or trophy over to first-time winner Ousmane Dembele.
And despite Lamine Yamal‘s meteoric rise, Henry feels it went to the right person.
He said: “The way he dribbles, he can play on the left, the right or through the middle. The season he had, you can’t argue with that.”
