NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe has admitted that a moment of intimacy between an unidentified man and woman that briefly graced his Instagram page on Wednesday was actually him and that the live clip was posted accidentally — not the result of him being hacked, as he’s previously stated. On Wednesday, Sharpe’s 3.2 million followers may have been perplexed or shocked to hear the sound of a moaning woman in an Instagram Live session that appeared on the former tight end’s page. Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson then reminded Sharpe how the former Denver Broncos tight end had accidentally “butt dialed” him three times — a testament to the host’s lack of awareness around technology.
