CBS Pregame: Sharpe, Marino out, Gonzalez in

[Emily Diana]

- Shannon Sharpe, Dan Marino out, Tony Gonzalez in on major CBS pregame shakeup -

"Well, now. CBS is shaking things up dramatically for its pregame show.

Recently retired (and future Hall of Fame) tight end Tony Gonzalez will be joining the CBS NFL pregame "The NFL Today" show, and longtime fixtures Dan Marino and Shannon Sharpe are out, the network confirmed."...

Shannon Sharpe can't hear Tony Gonzalez with his 3 Super Bowl rings plugging his ears! CBS just committed pregame network suicide with this move. I won't be watching anymore. Oh well, when ratings start to fail CBS will come crawling back and offer the show back to them axing Tony a la Conan O'Brien! Bad move CBS, bad move!

I wonder where Shannon will end up.

Cbs just ruined a good thing I watched them over FOX and I thought they had great chemistry. I'm bummed they replaced Shannon for Tony, its almost like a slap in the face. I wonder if Shannon ticked someone off

I wonder where Shannon will end up.

I think he'd fit in well with the guys on NFLN. Him talking with Irvin, Prime, and Faulk would be fun.

[Peerless]

I don't know why they wanted to shake it up that much. I'm pretty the NFL today was the #1 pregame football talk show.

[TH3JUICEMAN]

maybe Shannon will end up over at NFLN with his bro

Conan is still on

I'm glad that Sharpe's gone. The way he sounds, it's as if his tongue has swollen up

Yeah, he was hard to lsiten to often times. But, he did a good job.

me and a few people I know been speculating why he was let go....Ill leave it as that...

I think he will get another job immediately or wait til a better opportunity comes..........Me personally I would like to see him on FOX sports 1...

I will not watch CBS pregame show no more,because Shannon was the biggest reason why I watched it every football season....They'll fire Shannon,but keep Phil Simms and Boomer Esiason

I wonder why shannon was let go

[Hadez]

This sounds like a money thing to me

Someone probably thinking "We can pay this guy less then each of these guys and he looks good too". The main TV networks (CBS, Fox, NBC, ABC) make allot of mistakes with their shows imo which is why I watch allot of shows on the "cable" channels. If it did not take HBO, Showtime and Max so long to make new seasons I would probably almost never watch the "main" networks.

Sharpe will end up some where else asap.

I already gave up Fox NFL stuff, gonna give up CBS now too.

Possibly but i think Shannon will go bigger. I'm guessing nbc on the Sunday night broadcast

[FL BRONCO]

I like Shannon, and I watched cause I am a Bronco fan and love Shannon. I also love what he says, he is entertaining, always has been. But have to admit I was surprised he was on TV with the way he sounds. I hope I see him back and bigger but I am biased cause I am a huge fan.
