Shannon Sharpe made a very bad mistake when it comes to social media.
A video emerged of Sharpe in a steamy encounter on Instagram live.
The sports commentator said he accidentally pushed the buttons to go live without being technologically sound and that it was a mistake.
‘I’m embarrassed for a number of reasons. People count on Shannon to be professional, even when I’m behind closed doors,’ Sharpe said as part of a special edition of ‘Nightcap’ with Chad ‘Ochocinco’ Johnson.
‘I’m very disappointed in myself, not for the act. There are millions and billions of people of consenting age who participate in activities.’
Johnson claimed he had ’73 missed calls’ with people trying to get in contact with him over the sex live stream.
The video is still being widely circulated on social media:

Thankfully for him the camera was pointed at the ground for the majority of the clip.
The ex-NFL star had said on Wednesday that he was hacked before admitting it was his error and that it was his team that cut the live short.
The Denver Broncos selected Sharpe out of Savannah State in the seventh round of the 1990 NFL Draft. He retired 14 seasons later as the all-time leader in catches, yards and touchdowns by a tight end.
Sharpe led the Broncos in receiving six times and the Ravens once. He was named first-team All-Pro and All-AFC in 1993, 1996, 1997 and 1998 and was selected to the NFL’s All-Decade Team of the 1990s.
