Pat McAfee took a moment on his ‘Pat McAfee Show’ to commend Shannon Sharpe for how he handled the aftermath of an embarrassing Instagram Live incident. Sharpe inadvertently went live during a private moment, with only audio capturing the event. Instead of opting for the typical celebrity response of claiming his account was hacked, Sharpe owned up to the situation.
“I’m not talking about putting it on his back like Shannon Sharpe. Shout out to Unc, by the way. You handled it perfectly on Nightcap. We’re all very thankful that you did that, instead of going with some fake ‘I was hacked’ excuse. Impossible.”
“We all knew it was impossible as it was happening, like whenever a hack supposedly happens. But also, didn’t see anything. Didn’t see nothing. Heard a lot. But Unc, way to handle it.”
“For Unc, I hope he’s not embarrassed by the situation—it doesn’t sound like he is. He should feel pretty good coming out of that, and I don’t think anybody’s ever thought of that—an audio-only sex tape.”
“No, I don’t think anybody’s ever thought of that. Now, there was an out; we were trying to figure out an out for him because he said he was hacked, and we all said, ‘Well, that’s not possible.’ I guess the only way it could’ve been hacked was if somebody logged into his account and they were the ones actually doing the deed.”
“You can hear him talk a little bit, but he could say, ‘A lot of people sound like me. Everybody kind of sounds like me. I’m Shannon Sharpe.’ That’s just the way this whole thing is. Instead, he came out and said, ‘You caught me. Sue me.'”
“Ocho questioned his cardiovascular ability because there was a bit of heavy breathing at the end, and that’s going to happen. They say that’s one of the best workouts, and Shannon Sharpe is a fitness guru.”
