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.
