Pundit Micah Richards has revealed how he lied to his CBS bosses after having a big night out in Las Vegas before the Super Bowl.
Richards’ Night Out In Vegas
Richards, who was in Las Vegas with CBS to cover the Super Bowl has opened up to Gary Lineker about his ‘extracurricular activities’ in Sin City.
Speaking to Gary Lineker on The Rest is Football podcast, Richards said: “I’m with (Thierry) Henry, (Kate) Abdo, the producers and everyone knows what Big Meeks is like, I like to get in a little bit of trouble every now and again.
“I just thought ‘do I keep it professional and stay in or do I go for a little wander’?
“So it’s about 1am in the morning, I go for a little wander down the strip. We’re staying in the Virgin Hotels. One of my old mates is staying at the Wynn. I go there and have a few drinks.
@MicahRichards is having a great time on American television and I love it 😂👍🏿
Thierry Henry is just too European for all of this 🤣🤣🤣

“It’s then 4 or 5am in the morning in the morning and I am thinking to myself ‘we have got media at 11am’. What do I do here? It’s only light stuff, we’re talking about the Champions League, promoting that and then the Super Bowl.
Ex-Manchester City defender, Richards then discussed where he went next, but decided to remain tight-lipped regarding the name of the spot.
“And then we went to a place, I’m not naming no places but wowsers. Gary do you want me to spell it out for you, the scenery was like never, ever before. Oh my god.
“So bear in mind we have got to go to media in the morning. And everybody thinks I have gone to sleep. And you know Big Meeks isn’t going to sleep at that time.
“So I get there in the morning and everyone was like ‘How was your night, this that and the other and good sleep’? And I was like ‘Yeah I went to sleep really early, I couldn’t find anything to do, I went downstairs to get a drink’ and they all thought I stayed in.
“But they don’t know I had one of the best nights of my life. Everyone thought I had jet lag, it had nothing to do with jet lag, it was because I was out until 8am. God bless America that’s all I’m going to say.”
🗣️ @MicahRichards: "I'm not naming any places, but Wowzers!"
