Steven A Smith on the Shannon Sharpe situation: "I am not sure he will be back on ESPN"

[Standing on business]

Stephen A had been trying to weasel his way into stealing Shannon before he got fired. Shannon didnt need SAS to "vouch" for him. People could completely understand why he wasn't fukking with Skip. Aint like he smacked Skip on air


SAS bought Shannon over and acted like he saved Shannon from drowning. As if he couldnt have walked into ESPN and got a job. He was the hottest free agent in the game. If Shannon was smarter he wouldve asked for his own show. Rather than having SAS trying to lil bro him

This is rewriting history. At the time Shannon did need em. Club Shay Shay and The night cap were not what they currently are at the time. And behind the scenes Shannon’s name was trash with the sports networks.

What evidence do either of you have of this other than vague "behind the scenes" claims?


He was arguably the moat popular sports personality in the world. And yall acting like ESPN wouldnt have done an interview with him because he aint like Skip whos not liked by many. Irrc the other cohost Jenny aint like Skips ass either.


Yall just bought into Stephen As narrative that he had to throw this helpless black man Shannon a life raft.

YOU CLEARLY UNFAMILIAR
WITH THE SITUATION.

SHANNON WAS FIRED AND ON HIS WAY
TO BEING BLACK LISTED IN THE INDUSTRY AGAIN.

SHANNON WOULD TELL
YOU THAT HIMSELF

SAS LOOKED OUT FOR HIM
BECAUSE THE SAME THING
HAPPENED TO HIM IN 09

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SPORTS NETWORKS.

CBS, FOX ALREADY CANNED HIM
PLUS HE CAUGHT CASES
AT BOTH COMPANIES.

ESPN WAS A NO GO IF SAS
DIDN'T PUT IN THE WORD.

HE PROBABLY COULD HAVE
WOUND UP ON A CELEB GOSSIP SHOW

Club Shay Shay was on hiatus because Fox produced and stopped when Shannon was fired. Colin Cowherd took over the production in August 2023 and Shannon joined FT September 2023.

Oh really? Shannon left the show in June. Stephen A made the announcement he wanted Stephen A on First Take in July

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10083502-stephen-a-smith-says-he-wants-shannon-sharpe-to-join-espns-first-take-amid-rumors

"At the start of the podcast, Smith said the "honchos" at ESPN are in conversations with Sharpe, although he doesn't yet know for sure if ESPN plans on hiring him:"

If you were familiar with the situation,you wouldve seen Stephen A say he knew people at Fox. And knew what was happening to Shannon wasnt fair. So you dont think other networks know people at Fox Sports and wouldve heard Shannons firing wasnt fair smh? Shannon got fired because Skips contract was probably alot harder to eat than Shannons. And they thought Skip still had the juice.

Exactly


And the only evidence they have that Shannon wouldve been lost out here,is Stephen A giving himself credit like ESPN wouldnt have put a flier out on arguably the most popular on air sports personality on the planet. Theres no other evidence he was "cold" with networks because he was in talks w/ and hired by ESPN before he even had a chance to come out the oven

I have a friend in the industry worked at FS1. He knows all the players. We've been talking. Shannon was done. SAS did save Shannon. Shannon himself has alluded it.

Club Shay Shay was on ice when he was fired at FS1 cuz they produced it. Colin Cowherd saved him and his platform The Volume produced Club Shay Shay and Nightcap in Aug 2023. Shannon joined FT September 2023.

Now Shannon has had incidents at CBS FS1 and ESPN.

SAS went to his bosses and vouched for him. Cowherd is in negotiations with FS1 at the moment. Cowherd gonna back off Shannon now.

Shannon is now done

 

[Trojan 24]

When Stephen A got himself suspended for saying some women put themselves in positions to get beat by their husbands and boyfriends Skip wasn't on no gossipy bullshyt and as a matter of fact he damn near immediately said I'm going on vacation until Stephen A is back

SAS said something stupid and was gonna be back soon, Shannon's career with ESPN is likely cooked

 

[Killer Instinct]

I dont think theres anyone more upset and angry about this than black men on the internet. nikkas out here working overtime to make sure that white woman wasn't harmed.

 

[Trojan 24]

SAS know what's up

Probably checked in on the situation and realized there was no way out for Shannon on this one

 

[Michael's Black Son]

Shannon was gonna buy NBC

He flew too close to the PAWG
