Coming from Memphis, you owe us no apology. It's a part of the game. If it weren't you, it would've been someone else. We have much love and respect for you, Shannon! You're always welcome to Memphis!
God bless each and every one of you. Memphis is SO FULL OF LOVE! Despite what the media puts out there, I'm going to rep my city to the fullest! Love and peace all day!
@Scott Davidson Everybody can have their own opinion but I think how Skip presented his opinion, towards his fellow collegue, is what bugged most people.
That’s a legit apology with no “I’m sorry but”. This dude is the real deal!! So much respect for you Shannon and your family as we all have heard your story including your grandmother
You don't owe us no apology, but the fact that you did makes me love you even more Unc! I've always been a Shannon Shape fan and forever will be 💪🏾 -Grizzlies Fan
Shannon's apology brought a master class of "Here is how you recognize your mistakes, acknowledge them, and then heartfelt apologize for them." Sadly Skip had the corners of his mouth up and momentarily looked giddy that Shannon was in the heat. It says a lot about Skip.
Yall are sheep and follow the crowd. Skip didn't do anything wrong. People are fake outraged over a reading comprehension problem. And yall fake outrage activists ran with it.
I liked how Shannon apologized for his actions. I think we all get caught up in the moment of sports events and being die hard fans of our teams. This was heartfelt and you could see the remorse in his voice. Shannon you still my favorite sports host, at least number one on my Mount Rushmore of sports analysts. I also liked what LeBron said about Shannon.
Not only Athlete's but people just in life should all watch this man . The biggest problem in this country is accountability.. nobody's ever wrong !! Shannon I commend you brother!!! Thank you for showing the world how you're supposed to handle things!!!
Me too I had tears in my eyes and I'm not a weak man but I have feelings don't want to see other people hurt. I have changed since the late 80's which makes me care a little bit more about people. I know some people going to call me weak but I like good people.
So happy to see this. Sometimes people can catch us off guard but I appreciate this standard to apologize and recognize your platform. Our young people especially needs to see more calm and respect to one another. Things are just too volatile today. Much respect Shannon. 🙏🏾
This the best PR-related apology I’ve heard in a long time. One that has sincerity, self-awareness and accountability. You can tell that as both a former professional athlete and a media professional, Shannon has had the time to see a lot of people do this wrong and he's smart enough not to be that guy.
@Marvin I think maybe you thought I was referring to Winslow Jr, but I was referring to Winslow Sr. Winslow Sr revolutionized the TE & paved the way for TEs like Tony G, Shannon Sharpe & Gronk.
That man is human and even as we get older we still do things we regret later. He is a real man for apology and he is showing people how it is done right. 👏👏👏Stand up and clap for this man. You are awesome guy Shannon.
Good for you Shannon Sharp. You are a great man for apologizing. I know you meant it and really wasn't a big deal but these days, some people make too big of deals with that. You did the right thing and your fans and people that watch your show are on your side.
When we accept responsibility for making emotional mistakes, humility nourishes our spirits and attracts others to do the same. Well done Shannon Sharpe!
@Common Sense never will happen, they can never be wrong at all times and apologizing is not on their vocabulary. They are always the hero, the victim, and has all the rights to speak and listen to.
Love this bro.... there's alot of people who owe you an apology but what you just did is the main reason why you're a great man and they're still lost.
This is not only an apology - it is a lesson on how apologies should be given: Sincere, direct, personal, captivating and above all, geared toward all the affected parties. @ShannonSharpe this is why you are our UNC!
Shannon I know you’ll probably never see this comment, but I just want to say thanks for always being yourself. You’ve given all the young adults my age a perfect role model to follow.
He basically schooled all of us, Skip included, on what a genuine apology sounds like, and having enough character/humility to apologize ... even when it's probably not that necessary.
Shannon is Pure Class! That’s what accountability sounds like. Even though it wasnt that serious he still gave a heart felt apology to everyone involved and everyone affected by it. I hope skip learned a little from hearing that especially after the Hamlin situation where he had to much pride to admit his insensitivity and also where he was throwing shade at Shannon and down playing how great of a TE he was and Hall of Fame Pedigree to try and prop Brady up when Shannon rightfully called him out for playing less than sub par
Skip is a pouty child that refuses to admit when he’s wrong. He clings so hard to Brady’s accomplishment’s always saying his full name hoping he can gain Brady’s favor and be close to him like how Shannon and Lebron are. But that’s never going to happen. Shannon and LeBron are both greats in their sports and that’s something skip will never be able to relate to.
We love you Shannon. As a Lakers fan I believe you sparked a fire in us that we needed. To see that our fans are still passionate about our team winning.
LMAO! A football player inspired you to CHEER HARDER for a basketball team? But the basketball players on the court… did NOT? 😮😂 🤡 Humdrum celeb worship. Nothing to see here. Unless you enjoy pathetic groveling and illogical emotional entertainment from desperate fans. Raise your children and take care of your families. These guys aren’t concerned with fans & didn’t mention fans for a reason. Cheer the team and go home. Or turn off your TV. If you don’t attend games. Shannon is a Celtics and LeBron… Stan. Non-celebrity would’ve been ejected and banned. Shannon never apologized for extreme unfounded disrespect of Kyrie. He should stick with football anyway. Entire circus.
"I'm never going to say that that wasn't Shannon Sharpe because that was me; that was just me getting out of character. I'm sorry." This is a masterclass in public apologies. Owned his mistake, apologized sincerely, never deflected or tried to blame anyone else, said "I was wrong" four times.
Believe in the Son of God. Our Saviour Jesus Christ died so that we will live. Jesus said, "I'm the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me". John 14:6.
That’s a great example of being a solid stand up man and human being with high levels of ethics morality humility and class. There is a clear cut difference between the type of man Shannon sharpe is and the type of man skip bayless is.
Unc has so much class and character I’m so glad he is on this show. He brings me joy with his passion for sport. Much love for Shannon and proud of him for handling the situation.
Once a fan, always a fan of Mr. Shannon Sharpe! Real men are able to apologize when they do something wrong, and set good examples for younger men growing up.
Shannon is a real one. That was probably one of the most articulate and sincere apologies I've seen a public figure give (and he really didn't do anything wrong). Dude was raised right
@David Whitman no he didnt do it on his own accord. If he is willing to act like that at 50 years old there is zero chance he is mature enough to come out and apologize on his own. He would've just not got into that mess in the first place
@D M of course it was rehearsed, but he wrote it out of sincerity. He didn’t have somebody else write it for him, he wrote how he felt. And it wasn’t to save his job, Shannon has plenty of money
Being out of character happens to the best of us its just matter of when and how but what happens next and what you Do about it makes a world of difference. Salute to you Sir💯👍🏼🙏
@WillSr70 I take my hat off to Skip for not saying anything. Shannon needed to get that off his chest in order to go forward with a clear conscious and hopefully everyone he apologized to accepts it.
@Darryl Perry We're around the same age then,this young generation could learn something from this,anyone can act a fool,but only a man accepts when he's wrong.Youre right about skip,he normally over talks him,but he actually stepped back and let him handle his buisness.
Thanks for your comment I feel the same way. I am 3 years older than Shannon but I respect him and I have to say that Skip earned some points back with me for giving Shannon the floor.... Thank you Skip
I knew you would man up and apologize, 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 people were out here defending and lemme tell you. I look up to you Shannon!!! But things should never get that bad at a game. Love you even more for continuing to be a great man!!!❤️
When you do things that dont sit right with you later on, you have to do right to be right within. big ups to this guy. Nobody is perfect, but we all must be accountable before we are held accountable .
@Mike Demirdjian No, I didn't feel it was owed, but I also don't call people racist without cause especially when nothing they said was racist. Good day.
This is a grown man right here. We’re proud of you Shannon. Now, for the people who do not know how to apologize, here’s the perfect example. There was no but……
@Just talking - yes. He’s a public figure with a lot of responsibility. A role model for kids and other professional athletes. Plus, don’t forget there is cancel culture. Imagine you going to your kid’s game and almost getting into a fight with other parents or kids 1/2 your age. It wouldn’t look good one anyone.
So many times my emotions get the best of me and later I find myself apologizing when I just wished I would have been a better person in the Heat of the moment. I will always try to do better.
Yeah because his job is making him apologize. He's also a hypocrite bastion other fans telling them that they should have trash-talk but then he trashed Hawks players and it's okay He's a hypocrite
@Travis Taylor trust me, if skip apologized for getting in a player's face for cussing him the reaction would've been different lmaooo. two different scenarios
@Zenigundam boys fight grown men get over it, unless your life or your families life is in danger or you're paid to do it, there's no reason to fight anyone
Best apology I've seen from any person of an elevated status. A true reflection of a human - not perfect ~ yet striving for excellence and being better always. Accountability and responsibility. Truly a great person. Well done Shannon Sharpe.
@Kickinthescience Yeah if it was a player, he would get into it most likely but Shannon in the situation is a fan in the crowds and Dillon has very rarely if ever gotten into the face of someone in the crowd. Also getting a fans face is weird af
@Sin Dilacion Do you know why it escalated. Because Shannon got up out of his seat screaming and yelling at Brook from across the court. Hes in the wrong because hes the reason it escalated
@Ian Sansan he was talking trash at a game, it escalated and a group of people started running towards him. Honestly if you think he was wrong that's fine, but it was not that serious for an apology😂😂
No lie I've never really followed Skip and Shannon as they're just media personalities, but after the incident on air a couple weeks ago and seeing how he's handled this one, I have a whole lot of respect for the guy. Class act. 👊🏼
LOL!!!! Skip & Fox made him apologize-Just a couple weeks ago he was talking how his BOSS Skip should apologize over a tweet!!! When u the BOSS u don't apologize to noone-when u the puppet u do as u told!!!
@The Matrix Has You nah nah I mean in general if someone does something wrong and they know it, but still won’t own up and apologize. People who know it but won’t admit their error or flaw are insecure.
So if you have a different opinion than what you have and you don't think that you did anything wrong it means that you're insecure? Stop being a snowflake what skip did and what Shannon did neither one of them needs to apologize for it so just stop with your BS
Shannon I gain more respect for you every day. If everybody was man enough to do what you did this world would be a better place. 100% of us make mistakes! about 7% own up to them! Thats's how its done people.
Thank you sir, you are a good example of a person who is human and as with all people can and will make mistakes or be emotional during many times in our life. Please understand we too can and will do the same so please continue to be your genuine self and express yourself when appropriate. Your humility is something that all people should admire and follow because even at times that we may be right the appropriate thing to do is show humility and take the high road. Wow! I am now a fan of yours now sir.
