Shannon Sharpe
‘I am At Peace With’ ESPN Breakup
Printed
Nightcap
Shannon Sharpe opened up Wednesday night on his ESPN ousting … and he positive did not sound like a man who’s all that torn up over the break up.
The NFL legend mentioned on his “Nightcap” podcast he is “at peace with” the community’s resolution to present him the axe following his settlement together with his rape accuser … explaining, “They did what they felt they needed to do.”
He did, although, say he wished ESPN had waited till subsequent week to leak the information — so his brother, Sterling, might get the entire consideration this weekend for his Professional Soccer Corridor of Fame induction ceremony.
“I just wish, guys,” Sharpe mentioned, “I just wish this thing could have waited ’til Monday. Because I hate the fact that I’m overshadowing my brother.”
Sharpe mirrored a bit on his tenure with the community, saying he “really enjoyed” his time there. He added he was “very, very grateful” ESPN’s viewers obtained to see all of his character.
But he made it clear, the largest challenge he had with the breakup was the timing.
“The first two brothers in the Pro Football Hall of Fame,” he mentioned, “and this is what the headline’s going to be for the next couple days.”
Sharpe joined ESPN in 2023 and was a staple on “First Take” for years … till he stepped away from the community in April following his accuser’s bombshell lawsuit.
