But nobody was more vocal than Shannon Sharpe, who shared his disappointment with his friend and ex-teammate, blasting Lewis for his "hypocrisy" and saying his gesture was nothing more than a response to President Trump's "son of a b***h" comment against protesting NFL players.

Well, Lewis didn't appreciate that at all and yesterday attempted to make it clear that he wasn't "kneeling," but instead "praying."

"I absolutely did not take a knee," Lewis said on Showtime's Inside the NFL on Tuesday.

"I dropped on two knees so I could simply honor God in the midst of chaos," Lewis added moments later.

And on the personal tip about Sharpe, Lewis seemingly questioned their friendship, saying, "You got my phone number, brother. A friend, a friend, a friend picks up the cellphone and says, 'Bro, what was your intention? What were you doing?'"
