For Friday’s “First Take” show on ESPN, the crew set up shop in Atlanta for a live show at Atlanta Clark University. Of course, “First Take” recently added Cam Newton, and there have been many great moments between him, Shannon Sharpe, and Stephen A. Smith.

However, Sharpe’s comments to co-host Molly Qerim, which some have deemed “inappropriate,” are now going viral.

During the show, the crew discussed whether Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson could lead the team to the Super Bowl.

Of course, Sharpe played for Baltimore for three seasons and even won a Super Bowl with them in 2001.

Qerim asked him, “Shannon, do you ever just get a feeling?”

Sharpe quickly answered “I do, then I take a shower.”

Newton and Shannon immediately laughed while Smith walked out of the frame, and Qerim quickly changed the conversation.

Social media immediately had a lot of different opinions about the interaction.

In the past, LaVar Ball was blackballed from “First Take” after inappropriate comments were made to Qerim, such as when he said, “You can switch gears with me anytime.”

Of course, hopefully, nothing like that comes from this situation, as Qerim has also been known to take some jabs at Sharpe occasionally.

 

Shannon Sharpe Shares Thoughts About New Orleans Potentially Firing Head Coach Dennis Allen

The Saints’ season hit a new low last week after they lost 22-23 to the Carolina Panthers and fell to 2-7.

After that, the crew on “First Take” discussed the possibility of the team moving on from head coach Dennis Allen, and Sharpe was very candid.

“I’m not surprised at all considering he had lost seven straight ball games, and then he loses to what is thought of as the worst team in the NFL, the Carolina Panthers,” Sharpe said.

“There’s nothing from him that we’ve seen that shows he’s head coaching material,” he continued.

Recently, it was announced that Cam Newton would appear regularly on ESPN’s “First Take” alongside Stephen A. Smith and Shannon Sharpe. Friday was his first day on set, and he already fits right in.

As part of the shows HBCU roadshow, the crew is setting up at Tenessee State University for the school’s homecoming football game.

Of course, homecoming is a big deal for many schools and students, and Newton highlighted that. “It’s a party, Stephen A. We ain’t worried about class,” said Newton.

That’s when Sharpe chimes in with, “I’m worried about something else, but we can’t say that.”

Newton immediately responds, “Watch out, Michelle,” as everyone on set starts losing their minds.

Of course, Newton is referring to the now viral mistake of Sharpe going on Instagram Live while having sexual intercourse with a woman, who was later revealed to be named Michelle.

Many were worried when the network announced Newton’s hiring, but his personality seemed to fit perfectly with Sharpe and Smith, and this could become an amazing trio that stays together for a long time.

Cam Newton Is Excited For This New Opportunity

Newton has been working within the sports media for a while, but they have mostly been independent sources like his own shows.

This is his first long-term opportunity with a large network, and he will not take it for granted.

“I’ve always brought passion and energy into everything I do, and that won’t change at ESPN,” he said, according to an ESPN press release. “I’m looking forward to the opportunity to share my perspective and go toe-to-toe with the best in the business. Fans can expect the same intensity I brought to the field, along with real talk, bold takes, and good fun.”
