Shannon Sharpe Joins First Take (EDIT: ESPN Cuts Ties With Him)

[Standing on business]

Is it just me but deep inside alot of these old heads are angry at the fact these guys are making more money they ever dreamed of. You think Joe Borrow and alot of these guys going to be grinding it out on the sport networks when they retire?

Yes because they still want to be around the sport. Lebron just he wants to do it when he retires. Tom Brady is doing it now.

Micah will definitely be on a sports network. The Mannings got paid during their time and on networks.
Also I think it's kinda unfair to limit it to sports networks. If they didnt have podcasts for that lane, most these guys would be on sports networks too. Deebo got a podcast. Jason Kelce got a top sports podcast and is on a sports network.

Some of these guys not doing for a check, they just love the game that much.

And look how much money he got upfront vs what someone like Shannon had to grind for years post retirement. Plus I don't think TB is doing it just for the money but just an excuse not to watch his kids on the weekends

Man got paid to learn on the job A bruh got to put in years to get that. Even the past football players

What's also overlooked in this burrow convo is Burrow is throwing to one of the top WRs in the game. Tee higgens may be one of the top wr2s as well.

That is one thing I wanted to touch on. Where did all the slander for Jamarr Chase originate? I've noticed alot of "he isn't even a top 5 receiver" banter lately. Or cats putting Justin Jefferson or Ceedee ahead of him. Only dude I'm putting ahead of him is Cheetah. I understand he was dinged last year and he had the "hold in" this season, but I find it blasphemous tbh

Justin Jefferson is the best Wr in the game wym. Ceedee either 2 or 3 depending

Could you imagine how they would be goin in on Trevor if he was black? Came in hyped and has failed so hard.

I was watching First Take at the gym and the Bills/Jags game only talked about Josh Allen. I assumed the Trevor topic would be after the break but no, it was Jerry Jones. I don't even think he was a topic on the whole show. Checked YouTube and no FT video on him at all.

Lamar lost to the Steelers last season and the topic was if Lamar was worth his contact. They both said no which was wildly disrespectful. Why wouldn't that same segment be done for Trevor when he's lost his last 8 starts?

 

[Jim Cornette]

Why do people still watch these shyt shows tbh... They're so forced n fake nowadays. shyts played out

Shannon crashing out lol

Not even realizing a big portion of his viewers on club Shay & nightcap are black women.

yea, funny part is he think he right. He reposted a tweet taking a shot at him and didnt realize it. Talking shyt about meg and didnt realize it. Accused of being anti black and the first comment is him talking about horse hair to someone he doesnt even know is black or a woman

It's been downhill for this old fool ever since he lucked out with the Katt Williams thing. Never rocked with dude because his entire shtick is too minstrely for me and I despise clout-chasers like him but I respected his hustle.

Between the sex tape, the antics after the sex-tape, now sneak-dissing the woman that just came on your show and a big part of your core audience, he's fukking up his own bag.

The allegations about this dude really might be true because that entire exchange is exactly how a catty ass nikka would behave instead of a 56 year old elder.

Shannon reached a fame level on a social level that he never dreamed of and he can’t handle it.

 

[aceboon]

Shannon need to take a social media hiatus, deactivate/lock all them accounts and just go lift weights and record his pods/FT guest spots. That shyt consuming his brain at this point.
