On the heels of Shannon Sharpe’s reported deal to join ESPN’s First Take, Stephen A. Smith disappointed excited sports fans on Thursday night with a surprising response to the news.
In short, according to Smith himself, Sharpe, has, in fact, not yet signed a contract to co-host the mega-popular show, as first reported by New York Post’s Andrew Marchand and Ryan Glasspiegel.
“It’ll be great to have him. Here’s the issue, we don’t,” Smith said on his self-titled YouTube Show. “Shannon Sharpe has yet to sign on the dotted line to be a member of First Take. It has not happened yet.”
