Shannon Sharpe<\/strong><\/p>\n

After getting his feet wet debating Stephen A. Smith during the NFL season, Shannon Sharpe is staying with ESPN for at least a few more months.<\/p>\n

The network announced Sharpe has signed a new deal that will keep him as a regular contributor on\u00a0First Take\u00a0<\/em>through the end of the NBA regular season.<\/p>\n

The first act for Sharpe after signing a new deal with ESPN was coaching against Smith in the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game as part of All-Star Weekend on Friday night. Team Shannon defeated Team Stephen A. thanks to Micah Parsons’ MVP performance.<\/p>\n

The Dallas Cowboys star had 37 points and 16 rebounds in a 100-91 victory for Team Shannon.<\/p>\n

Sharpe originally joined the show in September where he was a weekly guest on Mondays and Tuesdays during the NFL season. He had been an analyst on FS1’s\u00a0Undisputed<\/em>, alongside Skip Bayless, since it debuted in 2016.<\/p>\n

The Pro Football Hall of Famer\u00a0cited<\/a>\u00a0“disrespect” from Bayless that dates back to an on-air debate they had about Tom Brady in December 2022 as the reason he left FS1.<\/p>\n

Things seem to be going better for Sharpe at ESPN. He’s been a featured analyst on\u00a0First Take\u00a0<\/em>with Smith and Molly Qerim, while also continuing to host the\u00a0Club Shay Shay\u00a0<\/em>podcast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
