FIRST Take star Shannon Sharpe had some words for Jamaican fans after Noah Lyles' win in the men's 100-meter final at the Paris Olympics.
The NFL Hall-of-Famer didn't like some of the snarky comments he saw about Sha'Carri Richardson's silver finish in the respective women's event on Saturday.
The following day, Lyles, 27, claimed gold after an epic photo finish with Jamaica's Kishane Thompson.
The reigning 100m and 200m world champion beat Thompson by 0.005 of a second following a mad dash in the second part of the race.
After his victory, Sharpe, 56, hit back at the Jamaican fans who apparently trash-talked Richardson.
"Jamaicans, I'm not going to let you do it," he said on Nightcap, his sports podcast with former NFL player Chad Johnson.

"I'm not going to let you say, because your guy lost, y'all had to eat crow, because yesterday you had a lot to say about Sha'Carri."
Sharpe added, "When y'all go low, I'm going to go to the basement.
"If you go lower than that, I'm going to hell. So, I'm just letting you know now. So, let's keep it above the belt.
"Let's have a good time. I like the back-and-forth. And guess what? Usain Bolt can't run no more.

"It might be a while before y'all see the top of the podium, because Noah Lyles ain't going nowhere."
Sharpe didn't give specific examples of what critics had said but he did point out that Team USA has many more chances to show dominance in track and field.
He mentioned Lyles in the men's 200-meter final as well as in the 4x100 relay, Gabrielle Thomas in the women's 200-meter final, and Rai Benjamin in the men's 400-meter hurdles.
"We ain't done," Sharpe warned Jamaica.
"I got bragging rights. Can't tell me nothing. Nah.
"And I want y'all to do one thing for me, all my Jamaican brothers and sisters.
"Stop the blood clot crying, brother."
After the race, Lyles said he didn't think he won at first.
"We were waiting for the names to pop up," he told reporters.
"And I'm going to be honest, I came over [to Thompson] and I was like, 'I think you got that one, big dawg!'
"Something said I need to lean, and I was like, 'I'm going to lean,' because it's that type of race."
Lyles won gold for America in the event for the first time since Justin Gatlin in 2004.
