Shannon
Sharpe
recently
revealed
that
he
thinks
Beyoncé
doesn’t
move
the
needle
like
Taylor
Swift
who’s
the
“closest
to
Michael
Jackson.”
After
departing
FS1’s
UNDISPUTED
Shannon
Sharpe
has
been
making
huge
waves
in
the
sports
journalism
space.
Club
Shay
Shay
is
thriving
and
his
podcast
Nightcap
with
Chad
Ochocinco
is
another
banger.
All
the
chatter
about
his
podcasts
has
been
positive,
but
Unc
might
have
recently
had
too
much
dip
on
his
chip.,

According
to
Complex,
Sharpe
was
discussing
Taylor
Swift’s
impact
on
Nightcap
and
claimed
Beyoncé
couldn’t
move
the
needle
in
the
same
way.
“The
attention
that
she
brings
and
the
people,
the
eyes,
that
she
brings
that
don’t
even
watch
the
game
of
football…
it’s
crazy
what
she’s
been
able
to
do
for
the
NFL,”
co-host
Chad
Johnson
said.
“Tell
the
other
person
that’s
gonna
do
that,”
Sharpe
added
while
referencing
reports
that
she’s
brought
$331
million
in
value
to
the
NFL
so
far.
Of
course,
Beyhive
member
Ochocinco
couldn’t
let
the
claim
go
unattested
and
he
defended
Beyoncé
but
Unc
wouldn’t
hear
it.
“Not
like
this,”
Sharpe
shot
back.
“These
eight-to-15-year-old
eyeballs…
Ocho,
I
love
Beyoncé.
[But]
Beyoncé
ain’t
moving
the
needle
like
this
chick,
Ocho.
…
She’s
the
closest
thing
to
moving
the
needle
like
Michael
Jackson
that
we’ve
seen.
This
is
it.”
Ochocinco
seemed
confused
by
Shannon’s
response
and
stood
his
ground
that
Beyoncé
was
just
as
capable
and
could
have
the
same
impact.
“No
she
doesn’t,”
Sharpe
said.
“Not
like
Taylor.
…
Taylor
Swift,
I
mean,
she
a
different
animal.
Beyoncé
is
phenomenal.”
He
went
on
to
claim
that
the
NFL
would
want
Taylor
Swift
to
perform
at
the
Super
Bowl
halftime
show
over
“Beyoncé,
Jay-Z,
and
Rihanna
combined.”
Sharpe
insisted
that
Swift
also
turned
down
the
opportunity
to
perform.
“Just
the
facts,”
he
said.
Everyone
is
entitled
to
their
opinion
but
in
a
different
universe,
if
Beyoncé
dated
an
NFL
player,
the
Beyhive
would
be
right
there
supporting.
Sharpe’s
comments
have
the
Beyhive
on
his
head
giving
him
a
warm
welcome
to
the
other
side
of
podcasting.
Just
like
you
can
go
viral
for
great
content
people
agree
with,
you
can
go
viral
for
stupid
statements.

Ochocinco
and
Shannon
Sharpe
