During ESPN’s ‘First Take,’ Molly Qerim acknowledged Shannon Sharpe’s graciousness in honoring a bet they made on the NCAA Men’s March Madness tournament. Qerim, a loyal UConn Huskies fan, wagered on her alma mater, while Sharpe bet on the field. When UConn emerged victorious, Sharpe promptly sent Qerim a purse of her choice, impressing her with his promptness and accountability.
Qerim expressed her appreciation, emphasizing that she had not requested an extravagant item. She commended Sharpe’s thoughtfulness, saying, ‘I just learnt a lot about you through this process so I want to say thank you.’ Sharpe confirmed that Qerim had chosen a reasonably priced purse.
Qerim’s admiration for Sharpe’s gesture highlights the camaraderie and sportsmanship within the ESPN team. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of honoring bets and the joy of celebrating victories together.
