He hopes to be back behind the mic by then.
“I plan to return to ESPN at the start of the NFL preseason.
Really an all-time tweet from Shannon Sharpe here.
You know there’s a million things he’d rather say right now.
Or if this was their final compromise.
Just ask… ah never mind.
In the end, I’m guessing his lawyers will take this over whatever the alternative was.
Regardless, Shannon Sharpe is stepping away from ESPN.

Which I suppose is small potatoes in the grand scheme of things.
Not during such a vicious, and highly vulgar out-of-context audio recoding text message-off.
That’s a lot of clean-up for Shannon Sharpe to take care of to be ESPN ready by pre-season.
Probably $50M worth of it.
Almost makes you wonder if it’s not only about the money.
According to the report, Sharpe and Fox reached a settlement with the accuser for several hundred thousand dollars.
Fox Sports later chose to handle the matter privately.”
I’d say being accused of choking related violence on two separate occasions is at minimum a red flag.
But who the hell am I to say.
I’ve never had that jot down of money for people to come after.
For now, I’m gonna stick with the latter.
