In case you haven’t noticed, Cam’ron has been absolutely killing it as of late with his brand-new sports show, It Is What It Is. This new show is co-hosted by Ma$e, and fans have been loving it. Overall, it is a unique take on the First Take format we have become accustomed to. Although Cam and Ma$e don’t always have all of the statistics to back up their points, they are wildly entertaining. They provide the perspective of the average fan, and overall, it is quite riveting. Moreover, their chemistry is always apparent.
Throughout the show’s existence, Cam has always tried to extend an invitation to hosts from other shows. He knows that personalities like Shannon Sharpe can’t say what they want because they are confined to a network. Consequently, he is willing to pay big bucks to get them onto the show. So far, these invitations have not worked out. However, Cam’ron is still trying as he has found a new target in Chris Broussard. While taking to Instagram recently, Cam claimed that Broussard possibly used the N-word on live TV while on First Things
“What the fuck you just say on Fox TV Chris?” Cam’ron wrote. “Did you say “you gotta admit that N****?!” I know y’all been watching, but check it…if you @shannonsharpe84 and anybody else with credentials, wanna say what the fuck you want. COME TO DEATHROW.” If you watch the clip that Cam provided, it is unclear as to what Broussard really said. In the comments of Cam’s post, most people seem to think he was just saying “Nick.” However, you can’t blame Cam’ron for looking to get a high-profile guest.
It Is What It Is is growing significantly as a show and as a brand. Recently, they had Nick Young on the show, which was one of their very first guests. This interview went over extremely well, and we can’t wait to see who else ends up on the show. Let us know what you think of Cam’ron and his new sports talk show, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world.
Pro Football Hall of Famer and three-time Super Bowl champion Shannon Sharpe has made significant strides off the field as a sports commentator and businessman.
Arguably one of the top tight ends in NFL history, the 14-year football vet has since emerged as one of the most viewed sports analysts on television since retiring in 2003 once his broadcast career started a year later for CBS Sports show The NFL Today.
After nearly a decade, Sharpe joined Sirius NFL Radio as a co-host for their Opening Drive morning segment and was later inducted into the NFL Pro Football Hall Of Fame in 2011.
Two years later, the former Denver Bronco and Baltimore Raven later shifted his efforts as a columnist for FitnessRX For Men. He also served as a spokesperson for the brand being featured on the cover of their magazine in Sept. 2013.
Over the course of playing in the NFL, he has earned more than $20 million.
Sharpe has recently launched a new podcast show with FOX Sports called Club Shay Shay. He sits down one-on-one and interviews athletes, influencers, and celebrities. They discuss the latest topics and trending headlines in sports and pop culture.
Outside of his media ventures, the father of three launched a premium cognac called Shay by Le Portierin 2021.
Shannon Sharpe’s Brand New Luxury Spirits Collaboration
Shay by Le Portier launched in partnership with leading luxury spirits expert Jay Bradley of The Craft Irish Whiskey Co. He is the creator of the world’s most expensive whiskey, The Emerald Isle. It sold at an auction for $2 million, according to reports.
“When I decided to create my own cognac, I knew I had to find someone who really knew about taste and how to build up those layers of flavor I love,” stated Sharpe in a press release.
“So much of the inspiration in my life comes from the places I’ve been and people I’ve met through professional football,” Shannon Sharpe said. “I started thinking, ‘What if I could share that sense of connection and conversation with friends with everyone!’ That’s the reason for creating Le Portier Cognac.”
Currently, Shay’s VSOP inaugural cognac release has a retail price of $98.99, with future luxury releases to be announced.
The now award-winning cognac is being recognized with high honors. This includes winning Platinum – Best in Classat the SIP Awards 2022.
So far, Shay by Le Portier has reportedly won seven prestigious awards for taste and design. Therefore, it has beaten established brands such as Courvoisier, Rémy Martin, and Branson by rap superstar Curtis 50 Cent Jackson.
The company’s awards list includes:
Gold at The Spirits Business Design and Packaging Masters 2021
Gold at The Spirits Business Cognac 2022
Silver at the International Wine & Spirits Competition 2022
Silver at the International Spirits Challenge 2022
Awarded 93 points at the New York International Spirits Competition 2022
Gold at The San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2022
Platinum – Best in Class at the SIP Awards 2022
Bradley previously stated, “Shay by Le Portier is a game-changer in the cognac market. Everyone knows Shannon Sharpe. They all know how much he loves great cognac. So when we first met, I knew that with his taste and my knowledge of how to create the incredible layers of flavor he loves–we could make something incredible.”
Sharpe states on his website that the premium cognac is dedicated to his grandmother, Mary Porter. She helped raise him and his other siblings in Glenville, Georgia, and helped him become the man he is today.
“There’s no question in my mind I would be where I am…had it not been for her,” he said. “It’s about putting in the work and having the right people on your team to inspire you.”
Sharpe and his siblings, Libby and Sterling, moved with Porter from Chicago, after realizing her daughter needed help raising them.
“I became the player; I became the person; I became the man that I am because of that 1,000 square foot cinder block home,” he added.
Undisputed co-host Skip Bayless apologized to viewers on Tuesday’s (Jan. 3) episode, with an absent co-host Shannon Sharpe, for his tweet following the horrific injury of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin during the Monday Night Football game on January 2nd between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals. The 71-year-old famed journalist/correspondent was met with huge backlash on Monday night after tweeting to his 3.2 million followers on Twitter: “No doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game – but how? This last in the season, a game of this magnitude is crucial to the regular-season outcome … which suddenly seems so irrelevant.”

Bayless began Tuesday’s episode with an apologetic opening monologue, in which he said, “I apologize for what we’re going to do today. I’m not sure I’m capable of doing this show today but, after barely sleeping on it, I decided to give it a try. Maybe I’ll fail, maybe we will fail, but we’re going to try. We wrestled through most of the night whether to even do a show today because we felt like, in our minds, we almost can’t win with this because the last thing we want to do is come off as insensitive to what this young man is going through in a life or death situation.”
An outraged social media called for Skip Bayless’s firing by Fox Sports 1 on Monday evening, with several retired NFL football stars like 6-time Pro Bowl wide-receiver Terrell Owens calling him “dead wrong” and hoping he loses his job. The network made no comment on Skip Bayless or the Damar Hamlin situation at press time.
No doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game – but how? This late in the season, a game of this magnitude is crucial to the regular-season outcome … which suddenly seems so irrelevant.
In the midst of the backlash on Monday, Bayless followed up his original tweet with a concerning tweet about Hamlin’s health and the ultimate importance of health for the players over the game.
“Nothing is more important than that young man’s health,” he wrote. “That was the point of my last tweet. I’m sorry if that was misunderstood but his health is all that matters. Again, everything else is irrelevant. I prayed for him & will continue to.”
Although absent from Undisputed on Tuesday, Shannon Sharpe shared his prayers with fans, Hamlin and his family on Monday evening. “Please keep Demar Hamlin and his family in your thoughts and prayers,” wrote The three-time Super Bowl champion. “NFL doesn’t have a manual on how to proceed after an incident like this.”
Amid Damar Hamlin’s injury, the NFL has announced that the game between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals will not resume this week.
