NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe is no longer part of Undisputed, having made his final appearance on the show this Tuesday.
It had been reported that Sharpe, a former pro tight end, would be vacating his chair at the end of the NBA season. And, sure enough, with the Denver Nuggets beating the Miami Heat to win the title on Monday night, Unc pulled up to work looking rather dapper ahead of what would be his last episode.
Shannon Sharpe Was Unable To Hold Back The Tears While Thanking Skip Bayless On Their Last Show Together: ‘I Gave You Everything I Had’ (VIDEO)
While he went through his business as he normally would, the 54-year-old’s emotions were on full display as he would break down while thanking co-host Skip Bayless.
The three-time Super Bowl winner has since posted a behind-the-scenes video in which he’s shown arriving to work at FOX, getting dressed, doing his final bit, and then exiting the building.
I can’t thank you all enough. From the people at Fox, to my Family, Friends, and loyal Followers. Join me as I go into my next chapter. pic.twitter.com/5Whj2jpoFa

Sharpe had called his daughter Kayley to the desk while saying his goodbyes, embracing her, and thanking her before heading off. While the segment that was broadcast to television did not show their bodies in full, Sharpe’s behind-the-scenes clip showed the position of his hand while he hugged her. And social media had questions…
Why my guy grabbing his daughter like that or am I tripping but congrats unc, excited for what’s next

It appears that’s just how Shannon hugs. If he embraces his daughter in such a manner, then it’s clear he doesn’t mean anything by it.
He did make a living catching footballs, so he must be pretty handsy.
