Shannon Sharpe and Dan Marino have been fired from “The NFL Today,” while newly retired tight end Tony Gonzalez will join the program for the upcoming season, the network confirmed.
“Having just stepped off the playing field, Tony brings a fresh and insightful perspective,” CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus said. “As a future Hall of Famer, we are excited for him to share his knowledge, experiences and opinions with our viewers.
Addressing his dismissal, Sharpe told TMZ, “Things happen. They made the best decision for them and now I have to make the best decision for me.”
The former NFL tight end says he has “no hard feelings” toward CBS, adding, “They’ve been great to me.”
