Maybe now I can actually watch their pregame again!
NEW YORK (AP) -- Shannon Sharpe hopes he's a standout as a television analyst, too.
The NFL's all-time leader in receptions and yards for a tight end officially joined CBS' pregame show, ``The NFL Today,'' on Tuesday.
The loquacious Sharpe replaces the equally outspoken Deion Sanders, who left following a contract dispute.
``I'm very excited to be brought on board,'' Sharpe said. ``I'm going to be good at this because I'm going to work hard at it.''
Sharpe, who will be 36 in June, had wavered on whether to return for a 15th NFL season before announcing last month he would be back. The eight-time Pro Bowler had expressed interest in a TV analyst job in the past and changed his mind about retirement when Sanders left.
``You're always going to feel that you can play but at some point and time you're going to have to walk away from the game,'' Sharpe said, ``and this opportunity might not be there.''
