Shannon Sharpe is taking a leave of absence from his post as an analyst at CBS' NFL Today show in light of a sexual assault allegation.
The former NFL tight end for the Denver Broncos was slapped with a temporary restraining order after a petition  was filed Thursday by Michele Bundy in Atlanta's Fulton County Superior Court.
Sharpe said in a statement, "I have decided to step aside from the NFL Today" -  the CBS Pregame Show - "until this matter is resolved."
A hearing regarding the sexual asault allegations is scheduled for Sept. 20. Details  of  Bundy's petition  are not available because  it has been classified under the "family violence" category because she is caring for a child.
Sharpe, who is being considered for the NFL Hall of Fame, has not been charged with a crime, nor has he been arrested.
LeslieAnne Wade, a spokeswoman for CBS Sports told Sports by Brooks, "We accept Shannon's decision. Beyond that, we decline to comment on a pending legal matter."
CBS hired Sharpe in May 2004 and he has worked on the network's pre-game show "The NFL Today" up until this recent incident.

Another athlete thinks they can get away with stuff just cause of their status. Sad cause I really liked Shannon :-(
