Shannon Sharpe has made his feelings on the Steve Smith saga clear following the weekend’s surprising events.
Smith, one of the best wide receivers in NFL history, was exposed for carrying on an affair with someone’s wife on Saturday, with the scorned husband sharing screenshots of conversations between the former wideout and his wife and even calling Smith to confront him.
Insane: A man has just found out that former NFL WR and current NFL Network analyst Steve Smith Sr. has been sleeping with his wife. He posted the texts and a phone call with Smith on X after finding out:
“I’m sorry” 😳😳😳

The man, an X user by the name of Tony Martinez, revealed his wife Nicole is a member of the Ravens marching band and met Smith while he was with the team.
Sharpe and ‘Nightcap’ co-host Chad Johnson discussed the juicy topic on said show this Sunday, with the former NFL tight end delivering the cold, hard truth as he pointed out that the individual should have taken it up with his wife.
“I’ve known Smitty 20 years. He was just at my party at the Super Bowl, had a great conversation with him. I love the guy. Hard nosed, the way he plays, X, Y and Z. But bro, you need to take that up with your wife. Smitty owes you no loyalty,” he said.
“I don’t know the gentleman’s name but this a situation you have to take up with your wife.”
Chad Johnson Agreed With Shannon Sharpe
Johnson expressed similar sentiments before Unc shared his take on the whole thing.
The woman in question has since broken her silence on social media, noting her husband stood by her after two arrests for domestic violence and bought her a house, and then added that she repaid him by being unfaithful.

Her post wasn’t all that convincing, however, as many users felt like Tony had accessed her account to make her look even worse.
