This weekend Shannon Sharpe will finally get to live his long-awaited dream of inducting his older brother Sterling into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But before getting a chance to do that, he had to address ESPN's recent announcement on his status at the network.

Shannon Sharpe offered his first comments since ESPN cut ties with him. He hopes it won't overshadow his brother's Pro Football Hall of Fame weekend.

On Wednesday, ESPN announced some shocking news that the network would be parting ways with Shannon Sharpe. The hall of fame tight end just joined the network earlier this year, but took some time off and eventually settled in a sexual assault lawsuit.
