SHANNON Sharpe has issued a groveling apology to a Washington Commanders star.
The 57-year-old’s apology comes after a Commanders player threw a punch against the Detroit Lions last week.
Sharpe hit out at Commanders star Daron Payne, 28, after their 44-22 home loss to the Lions.
Defensive lineman Payne was ejected during the second quarter of their loss.
Payne was spotted punching Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, 26, in the helmet.
Payne has been handed a one-game suspension for punching the Lions’ wideout.
St. Brown drew controversy during the game for his Donald Trump-inspired touchdown celebration.
Emotions spilled over following Payne’s punch with teammate Javon Kinlaw, 28, handed an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
However, Shape has now back-tracked after his criticism of Payne.
Payne shared a video of St. Brown appearing to throw a punch at him on Instagram.
This video suggests that the defensive lineman’s attack was simply a reaction to this first hit.
Sharpe has now issued an apology to the Commanders star as new evidence comes to light on the Nightcap podcast.
“He sent me the video,” Sharpe said. “Let me be the loudest and say bro I’m sorry.
“Javon Kinlaw, I owe you an apology too because you said he did hit Daron Payne first and I didn’t believe you.”
Payne will be next available for the Commanders against the
Three-time Super Bowl winner Sharpe has claimed that he is always happy to retract an incorrect statement.
“I’m never going to be too prideful,” Sharpe continued. “I’m never going to be too wealthy, I’m never going to be anything where I can’t say I’m sorry I was wrong.”
The Commanders sit third in the NFC East.
They have claimed just three wins from ten games so far this season.

LOS ANGELES, CA — The Los Angeles Rams are about to be hit by a bombshell that could change the course of their season — and it has nothing to do with their play on the field. Alaric Jackson, the Rams’ key starting left tackle, has found himself embroiled in a scandal that’s sending shockwaves through the NFL. A lawsuit was filed on Thursday alleging Jackson secretly filmed a woman during a private encounter — and now the Rams are scrambling to address the potential fallout.
McVay’s Jaw-Dropping Response to Lawsuit
In an exclusive statement, Rams head coach Sean McVay revealed he was “shocked” by the legal drama surrounding Jackson, calling it “the most bizarre situation I’ve ever dealt with.” McVay, typically calm under pressure, couldn’t hide his concern as he told reporters: “This isn’t just a legal issue, this is personal. I can’t talk about everything, but this is something we’ve been forced to handle privately. Let’s just say, not everything is as it seems.” The comment left many wondering if there was more to this story than meets the eye.
Rams’ Star Tackle Under Fire — Will He Be Sidelined for Week 11?
Despite the lawsuit, McVay hinted that Jackson will still start in Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks, one of the most important games of the season. But insiders suggest the decision might not be that simple. “If Jackson is distracted or this lawsuit affects him mentally, it could be catastrophic for the team,” an anonymous source close to the Rams told us. “Seattle’s defense could eat him alive if his head’s not in the game.”
Jackson, who signed a massive $57 million extension earlier this year, has been one of the league’s most reliable linemen, but this off-field mess raises serious questions about his future in Los Angeles. And fans are starting to wonder: will McVay’s faith in Jackson cost the Rams a chance at the playoffs?
The Truth Behind the Scandal — What We Know So Far
The lawsuit against Jackson alleges that he secretly filmed a woman during a private moment and later taunted her with the video. The incident comes just a year after Jackson was suspended for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. Now, with this new bombshell, could Jackson face even more severe punishment? The NFL has remained tight-lipped, but rumors are swirling that the league may step in again — and Jackson’s future in the league could be on the line.
Is Alaric Jackson’s Career in Jeopardy?
Sources close to the situation claim Jackson is “absolutely shaken” by the legal battle and that his future with the Rams is uncertain. Will the team stick by their star lineman, or is this the beginning of the end for his career in Los Angeles?
The Rams have yet to make any further comments, but the situation continues to unfold. Could this scandal be the secret weapon Seattle needs to knock the Rams out of playoff contention?
The NFL world is watching. Stay tuned.
