Shannon Sharpe: Tom Brady shouldn’t make excuses for QBs in broadcast booth
"I don't think that's asking much for the guys that's calling the game."
"I don't think that's asking much for the guys that's calling the game."
"Ocho and I have come to the conclusion that this is the best thing as of right now, was to postpone the tour."

"When the ship was going good, I was right here. Just because it's f*cking rocky, I ain't going nowhere."
"That part, he and I disagree on."
"Best thing they could have done for us."
"I’m hopeful this will all go away. I’m hopeful that I’ll have my brother back on the airwaves talking football next season"
“Ant Man, Batman, Superman, Lakers in 5"
Smith isn't impressed with Sharpe's lawyer.
"When someone famous is in the news, all sorts of people crawl out of the woodwork to share their connection to that person"

"We have the evidence of blackmail, and we will prove it in court. This will not settle."
"Sweetie I think you were supposed to copy and paste this text message from your publicist into a tweet. Not take a screenshot"
"There was no incident of choking involving Shannon on the FS1 set. On one occasion, he and a few colleagues were involved in some light physical interaction in a playful context."
“I will be devoting this time to my family, and responding and dealing with these false and disruptive allegations set against me."
"There’s a long list of examples where ESPN/Disney considers having conservative viewpoints a much greater offense than questionable character."
"In Mr. Sharpe’s case as in the case of virtually all other similar subjects of blackmail, the reason [was] primarily to avoid public embarrassment for himself and his family and other adverse consequences to his life and reputation."
"Not a good look that you did the sh*t you did to me."
"I don't know if that's a strategy that will work."
Sharpe's lawyer initially said he had offered "tens of millions of dollars" to settle the case.
Shannon Sharpe released a video statement responding to audio from his accuser, saying it has been manipulated as part of a shakedown.
