Nicki Minaj disses Shannon Sharpe on ‘Made In NO' remix
Nicki Minaj's remix of Lil Wayne's 'Banned From NO' from his Carter VI album featured some interesting lyrics addressing Shannon Sharpe. Sharpe has been a permanent fixture in the news for the past few months and it's clear that Minaj has been paying attention as she said, 'If I send a pic of Shannon, you ain't that sharp.'
Minaj took to her X account after the song was released to bring even more attention to the diss, playfully trolling both Sharpe and his Nightcap co-host Chad Ochocinco, saying:
'If I send a pic of Shannon, you ain't that sharp!!!!
Yeah ****** you thought I forgot that 'Nicki who' *** you did? 🤣😩🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO j/k 😐
Ochocinco almost caught a strizzy just by being around yo crazy tail self 🤣😩🤣😩🤣
#BannedFromNORemix'
While Shannon Sharpe has been ubiquitous for his viral interviews and his sports take, he has been embroiled in controversy as he was hit with a $50 million sexual assault lawsuit in April. The 13-page lawsuit was filed by a 'Jane Doe' in Nevada, alleging Sharpe had committed assault, sexual assault, battery, and sexual battery, and that he engaged in the intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The lawsuit states that she and Sharpe started a relationship in 2023 after meeting at a gym in Los Angeles. She claims Sharpe relentlessly pursued her, repeatedly calling, texting, and 'demanding she come to his Beverly Glen mansion.' The relationship is described in the suit as abusive and controlling.
The complaint alleges that Sharpe recorded their sexual activities, something without her knowledge, and that he was sharing the videos with others without her permission or knowledge. The suit also alleges that Sharpe threatened to kill her after she attempted to share her location on her iPhone with her friends.
On April 24th, Sharpe stepped away from his ESPN duties while also defending his innocence. His statement read:
'My statement is found here and this is the truth. The relationship in question was 100% consensual. At this juncture I am electing to step aside temporarily from my ESPN duties.
I will be devoting this time to my family, and responding and dealing with these false and disruptive allegations set against me. I plan to return to ESPN at the start of the NFL preseason.
I sincerely appreciate the overwhelming and ongoing support I have received from my family, fans, friends and colleagues.
Shannon Sharpe'
ESPN also released a statement about Sharpe's temporary departure from his role with the company, stating, 'This is a serious situation, and we agree with Shannon's decision to step away.'

Full Broncos player ratings unveiled in 'Madden NFL 26'
EA Sports revealed select player ratings for Madden NFL 26 last week leading up to the full reveal last Friday. Following the full unveiling, we now know the ratings for every Denver Broncos player in this year's version of the popular NFL video game. Denver's highest-rated player is cornerback Pat Surtain (97 overall), who saw his rating jump two spots from last year. If that trend continues, PS2 is on track to have a perfect 99 overall rating next year. The team's highest-rated player on offense is guard Quinn Meinerz (95), who made a big jump from being rated 87 overall in 2024. Check out the full ratings for each position group below. Broncos Madden player ratings Quarterback A decent improvement for Bo Nix, who is up from his 71 overall rating in last year's game. Running back Not only is RJ Harvey far behind J.K. Dobbins, the rookie hasn't even reached the rating of teammate Jaleel McLaughlin yet. That could change with in-season ratings updates. Wide receiver Courtland Sutton remains the top dog in Denver's wide receiver room. Marvin Mims is an All-Pro returner, though, so his 77 overall grade feels a bit low. Tight end/fullback Michael Burton is the sixth-best fullback in the game (there are 12 FBs in this year's Madden), and Evan Engram is the 10th-best tight end. Offensive line Quinn Meinerz is the top-rated guard in this year's Madden. Not pictured: Alex Palczewski (64), Clay Webb (63), Frank Crum (63) and Will Sherman (59). Defensive line Zach Allen remains criminally underrated, and JFM, D.J. Jones and Malcolm Roach feel way too low as well. Outside linebackers Still not much love for Nik Bonitto, either. Inside linebackers Dre Greenlaw is the eighth-best inside linebacker in the game. Cornerback Pat Surtain is not a member of the 99 Club yet, but he is the highest-rated cornerback in the game. Jahdae Barron is tied for having the seventh-best rating among rookies. Safety The Broncos have a very strong safety duo both in real life and in the video. Special teams Wil Lutz is 77 overall ... not bad, not great. Madden NFL 26 will be released on Aug. 14, available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC devices.

Scottie Scheffler's role in ‘Happy Gilmore 2' is an unexpected gift for golf fans
This is a story about a movie that saved a sport. OK, that's a stretch, but only a little one. Scottie Scheffler is the No. 1 golfer in the world. Has been for a couple of years. He has won two Masters titles, one PGA Championship and the recent British Open, as well as an Olympic gold medal. He is so good that somebody ought to check his golf balls for tiny magnets that hook up to the cups on the greens. So far this year, by slapping a little white dimpled ball around in the grass, he has won $19.2 million. He has yet to turn 30, but his overall income, just from golf tournaments, is around $90 million. This guy is so good that his caddie, Ted Scott, is estimated, at the normal 10% of winnings, to have pocketed about $5 million. For carrying a bag. So, what's the problem? Scheffler is so good that he might also be sparking a trend called remote remorse. You really want to watch, but once he gets ahead by a couple of shots, there is nothing left. No drama, no possible twist and turn, no chance of any excitement. Other players in those tense, title-on-the-line final holes, dunk a shot into the water or bury one so deep in the sand that their only choice of club is a shovel. Not Scheffler. He is a 6-foot-3 human robot whose veins circulate ice water. When the going gets tough, Scheffler yawns. So, you see this and you know what is coming next — final putt, arms raised in satisfaction, a hug for his multi-millionaire caddie, the mandatory TV interview with the apparently mandatory British-accent female sportscaster, who will always start with, 'How does this feel?' You, and millions more, click the button on your remote for something more interesting, like HGTV or the Gardening Channel. When Scheffler gets ahead in the final round like that — which is almost always — it is game over. He can squeeze the drama out of a golf tournament like Bill Belichick could out of an NFL postgame interview. Certainly, you say, Tiger Woods used to win lots of tournaments by lots of big margins and that never seemed boring. That's because it wasn't. Tiger was animated, angry, annoyed, analytical, fed up with some part of his game, charged up over another part, mad at a reporter, upset with his agent. Tiger could win by eight, occasionally did, and it was still must-see TV. When Tiger was at his best, nobody could beat him and the public loved him and just wanted more. Scheffler is currently at his best and the public certainly is terribly impressed and, sadly, kind of meh. Tiger was a pound-on-the-table-and-shout-at-the-TV kind of player. Scheffler is a nod and a shrug. But there is hope. Hollywood has intervened, as only Hollywood can. Twenty-nine years ago, an up-and-coming comic named Adam Sandler made a movie inspired by one of his New England friends, who was a great hockey player and could also hit a golf ball a long distance with a hockey stick. Sandler called the movie 'Happy Gilmore' and found a wide audience that loved it for its irreverence about a game that flaunts hushed reverence. Among the highlights was an on-course fistfight between Happy Gilmore (Sandler) and aging TV game show host Bob Barker. Barker won by KO. The movie was hilariously overdone slapstick. It was a gut-laugh-a-minute. It was so stupid and wacky that it was wonderful. Now, Sandler has made 'Happy Gilmore 2,' and it is again a must-see for all the reasons that the original was. Plus the cameo appearances. Especially one by Scheffler. In the movie, Scheffler is good, funny, fun. He doesn't have a lot of lines, but he has perfect timing. He punches a guy out on the green and the cops come and haul him away. 'Oh, no. Not again,' he says. Remember, earlier this year, when Louisville cops hauled him away and put him in an orange jail suit, when he was accused of making a wrong turn while driving into the golf course at the PGA Championship, a tournament that he would eventually win? Well, Sandler and his writers made hay out of that, but more significantly, Scheffler played to it perfectly. After the movie punch-out, Scheffler is pictured in a jail cell, in an orange jail suit, as a guard asks, since he has been in that cell for three days, if he wants to get out. Scheffler replies, 'Ah, what's for dinner?' When he is told chicken fingers, he says, 'I think I'll stay another night.' Now, of course, none of that is knee-slapping stuff, but it is Scheffler, and the self-effacing comedy is a perfect image-enhancer, even if it is only in a stupid movie. It is so much better for golf fans to see Scheffler as a roll-with-the-punches fun guy, than an emotionless, ball-striking robot. Neither is totally accurate, but in this media world of image-is-everything, 'Happy Gilmore 2' has done wonderful things for this wonderful golfer. Even moreso, for his sport He will be all over your TV screens for the three-week FedEx playoffs. It starts Aug. 7 with a tournament in Memphis, followed by the next week in Baltimore and the grand finale Aug. 21 in East Lake, Ga., near Atlanta. For the playoffs, the PGA will distribute $100 million in prize money and the winner will receive $10 million. Scheffler, a likely winner, would then certainly be invited to appear on TV, especially the late-night shows such as Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon. This would present another great image-building opportunity. He could show up in an orange jump suit.

Shannon Sharpe Delivered The Perfect Moment At Saturday's Hall Of Fame Ceremony
Shannon Sharpe Delivered The Perfect Moment At Saturday's Hall Of Fame Ceremony originally appeared on The Spun. It had been a long time coming for Shannon Sharpe and his brother, Sterling. But at long last, they are now the first set of brothers to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Shannon got his moment back in 2011 following a 14-year career between the Broncos and Ravens that included eight Pro Bowls, four first-team All-Pro selections, and three Super Bowl championships. And this weekend, he joined his big brother in finally getting his moment by giving him a massive hug and helping him put on his long-awaited gold jacket. Fans were loving it on X. "Despite everything going on it was so touching to see the brothers be able to bask in the moment," Kelsey Nicole Nelson said. "Love the history they made together but solidifying a place in football history." "🗣️ Huge congrats 👏🏻 To hear their humble beginnings, their HARDWORK& dedication 2 the game. It's truly great 2 see them mk history as the FIRST brothers to get inducted," a user replied. "We ALL know how much Unc ❤️'S his big brother and 2 live 2 see the day to honor him w/his flowers is beautiful."

"what a moment. proud of those brothers. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼" another person applauded. "I don't care what anyone says; this is awesome to see," another user posted. "First set of brothers in the HoF. A biopic about their lives/journey all the way up to this moment should be made into a movie." Sterling himself delivered a beautiful speech where he spent much of his 12 minutes on-stage honoring his brother. "The only reason I'm standing here, the only reason I told all those stories, everything I did athletically, everything I did for an audience of one," Sharpe explained. "... You see when you grow up in rural south Georgia, it's hard to find heroes, and I didn't want this person of mine to look outside our own dinner table to find a role model." "It's so wonderful to be able to experience love and appreciation from my family," he said. "This is why I played football. This is why I got out of bed. It wasn't work. It was because of this right here [my brother]."Shannon Sharpe Delivered The Perfect Moment At Saturday's Hall Of Fame Ceremony first appeared on The Spun on Aug 2, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Aug 2, 2025, where it first appeared.
