There wasn\u2019t supposed to be.<\/p>\n<p>Attorney Tony Buzbee has informed PFT that the lawyers had agreed to postpone the July 9 hearing.<\/p>\n<p>Buzbee shared this statement from Sharpe\u2019s legal team: \u201cWe are apologizing to the Court by letter for wasting the Court\u2019s time. There was a mutual agreement among counsel to postpone the motion scheduled for July 9. As a result, there was no expectation by our team that her legal team would appear in person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s odd that Sharpe\u2019s lawyers would have shown up for the hearing, if the hearing had been postponed. It\u2019s odd that, if\/when the judge expressed disappointment regarding the failure of the plaintiff\u2019s lawyers to appear, Sharpe\u2019s lawyers wouldn\u2019t have said that the lawyers had agreed to postpone the hearing.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, that\u2019s the explanation for why Buzbee wasn\u2019t there.<\/p>\n<p>The case otherwise continues. At some point, Sharpe will respond to the complaint. Unless, of course, the case settles. In theory, that can happen at any time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There was a hearing on Wednesday in the civil lawsuit against Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4791,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-4790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4790","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4790"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4790\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4791"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4790"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4790"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
