Sharpe might need to freshen up his dance skills.

Last month, Shannon Sharpe officially left UNDISPUTED. After seven years, the NFL Hall of Famer left the talk show he co-hosted with Skip Bayless. Additionally, the relationship between Sharpe and Bayless had reportedly drastically deteriorated, prompting Sharpe to leave Fox for greener pastures. However, what those greener pastures actually are remains to be seen.

Sharpe tried to keep it together on his final show. However, as things began to wind down, Sharpe couldn’t hold back his emotions. “I’m here because of you,” Sharpe said to Bayless, fighting back tears. “You’ve allowed me to share the stage with you. You allowed me to share the platform. The opportunity that you gave me, to become what I became, I’m forever indebted to you. I’ll never forget what you did for me. You helped me grow more than you’ll ever know.”

Sharpe Hits Up The Cookout, But His Moves Are Yet To Thaw

In a video shared by The Neighborhood Talk, it appears that Sharpe hit up a cookout in the last few days. In particular, the video showed Sharpe joining in a group dancing the electric slide. The only problem is that Sharpe puts little effort into the moves and just sort of vibes around at the back of the group. While it is true that Sharpe got a hip replacement, that was in early 2022. The resulting comments meant that ribs weren't the only thing being grilled.

"He aint never been around so many black women since he was 18," one person noted. "Lmao he dance like a middle aged white man," another astutely pointed out. "He used to them football drills this a different type of steppin😂," argued a third. However, some argued that Sharpe wasn't the only person disrepecting the dance. "Oh no. Is it a simulation? Is it AI? Because I ain’t never seen so many off beat black folks doing a slide in my life 😩." Furthermore, some argued that Sharpe's tendency to date white women couldn't even be used an excuse. "Can’t even blame the white women because them folks love a good line dance too." What do you think of Sharpe's moves? Let us know in the comments.
