ESPN’s Shannon Sharpe has delivered a clear message to Florida State fans who are upset about their team’s exclusion from the College Football Playoff: “Get over it.”
During a recent episode of “First Take,” the former NFL tight end and current sports media personality expressed his impatience with the complaints from Florida State supporters. Sharpe confidently predicted that Alabama would emerge victorious in the playoff, regardless of their seeding.
In his trademark straightforward style, Sharpe stated, “Y’all need to take that Justin Timberlake and ‘Cry Me a River’ somewhere else cause I’m over it now. … Alabama gonna win this thing. I don’t care about what seed … no mustard seed, no grape seed, no sunflower seed. Alabama in two.”
Sharpe’s comments garnered reactions from fans on Instagram. Some praised his candidness, while others defended Florida State’s disappointment and expressed hope for their team’s chances in the playoff.
Despite the spirited discussions, Sharpe remained resolute in his belief that Alabama, under the leadership of coach Nick Saban, would be a formidable force in the playoff. The debate about Florida State’s potential success in the playoff continued among fans, with the absence of star quarterback Jordan Travis being a significant factor in the discussion.
