Why did CBS get rid of Shannon Sharpe?

[seaborneq]

Seems like a good guy and knows his stuff. Who replaced him on CBS? Should have gotten rid of Cowher.

[Bostongambler]

Sounds like he has marbles in his mouth.

[Big Bear]

b/c he is black ?

[RITZ]

Sharp was not good and is one of the former NFL players now commentators that rely too much on hyperbole.

[TheMoneyShot]

I give CBS a lot of credit for making the move. Didn't think they'd do it. Finally, a company UNLIKE pansy ESPN.

[King Mayan]

Who pays attention to analysts anyway???

[jjgold]

CBS has the worst team and he was a dumb motherfuker

Marble mouth

Marino got fired also which was a good move

[yisman]

not just Sharpe

Marino also

news broke in February

In a one-for-two move, CBS will bring in recently retired Tony Gonzalez and dump Dan Marino and Shannon Sharpe from its “The NFL Today” pregame show.
CBS Sports boss Sean McManus said Gonzalez will bring “a fresh insightful perspective” to the program. Obviously, he did not think either Marino or Sharpe could deliver in a similar fashion.

he sucks...

Marino never won a super bowl. Nuf said.

Sharpe was on crank.

Why don't CBS have Asians analysts?

Because Marino's Dolphins never had a 1000 yard rusher until his final season, and he was finished then.
(look it up, Marino never had a 1000 yard rusher in his whole career, until his swan song)

Most was 915 until 1996 when Abdul-Jabbar got 1,116, which wasn't even that good considering he had 3.6 YPC. 1,000 yards is routine for any regular RB. Pretty sad that Miami went from 1983-1995 without one.

Marino was 35 that year and missed two games due to injury.

Marino is a top 5 QB.

well my guess is they found someone:

[stevenash]

^
yeah, but I hear CBS is interviewing some up and comer named Sharpest

[TheMoneyShot]

When the reports come out... the CBS crew felt that Sharpe was to boisterous in some of his comments. I also believe it had to do with a money issue. And he was trying to steal the show with his crazy outbursts at time.

[MickeyMan]

Marino is a mudshark.

[yisman]

I wish they'd get rid of James Brown.

His contribution is to make weird grunting sounds during highlights and to be the 'presenter' which is absolutely worthless.

Another ridiculously overpaid hot shot.

And sorry, you need talking heads to get info.

Boomer Eissen keeps his job because he has no balls
