Shannon Sharpe a Finalist for the Pro Football HOF 2011 Class

Posted Sun Jan 9th by

Sharpe As they say, third times the charm.

For the third consecutive year, former Denver Bronco tight end Shannon Sharpe has been named a finalist for the Pro Football Hall Of Fame.  The 2011 class will be announced the week of Super Bowl XLV.

Named to the Broncos Ring Of Fame in 2009, Sharpe retired leading all tight ends in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns.  Furthermore, he owns more Super Bowl rings, Pro Bowl selections, career receptions, yards and touchdowns than Every tight end enshrined in Canton, Ohio.

It’s outrageous that Sharpe is not yet in the Hall, this better be the year he gets in. Former Broncos running back Terrell Davis should be soon to follow as well.

    It is time for Mr. Woodrow Paige and his media moguls to remove their craniums from North of their Southern sphincters and get the job done THIS YEAR without fail. Their reputations hang precariously in the balance.

  • herc_rock

    Deon and Marshall Faulk are locks. Maybe Bettis, even though I think he was wildly overrated.

    Is this Chris Carter's year? I doubt Shannon gets in until he's in. Different positions, I know, but they're esentially voting on Shannon as a receiver, so…

    I think that's it for TD.

    Shannon Sharp is a trader and always bashes the Broncos on tv..I dont care if he makes it or not but if he does let him be raven the trader.hell Steve Atwater deserves be a hall of famer before that trader does.Shannon doesnt make the hall opf fame for another ten years for all I care.

  • kerry

    guys lets not be dillusional. Shannon will end up getting fucked out of the HOF again. its just bound to happen. now if he played for the Giants, he would have been in first ballot.

  • Herpderply

    Learn the difference between traitor and trader, little kid. Sharpe bashes Denver on TV because we deserve it. The franchise has been a joke show since 2006.

  • Littlekid

    Shannon Sharpe traded places two time baltimor and th back to the Broncos why would he be a traitor hu.So listen old fart Shannon sharp Belong on Baltimore Ravens team.Old Fart

    Former Broncos fullback “Cookie” Gilchrist died today of cancer at 75.

    Bettis is the most overrated running back in NFL history IMO. Rush 3 yards for a 1st down… celebrate like a mad man. The media fell in love with him when he won that Super Bowl in Detroit.

    I wonder why Brian Xanders is still in the room? He is the Isaih Thomas of the NFL. Does Brian have something on Mr. Bowlen? How can a GM be so bad and still keep the job? I dont want to hear about Josh having say in the matter. If Josh had so much power it means Brian just has the GM title. Let me be the 1st one to say if Brian sticks around we are doomed. Brian HAS TO GO! Broncos fans need to step up here. Stop driking the Kool Aid and wake up. Hope and prayers are not going to get good players on this team. Someone with a clue on draft day and in free agency will get it done. Seems to me Mr. Bowlen is trying to save some money at the GM spot. Make Elway the GM or get someone else.

  • 12508

    A run at Asomugha would be a great place to start. Use the 2nd pick on Peterson from LSU. See how easy it is Mr. Xanders?

  • 12508

    How about David Harris? Mr. Xanders he is a LB for the NY JETS. We need a few of those.

    Sorry for the off topic question here, but why don't they show the defensive stats? I have gone to both espn and foxsports and they are only showing offensive, kick returning and ints. Maybe I am on the wrong website. I was trying to check how well Fairley is doing.

    I have never heard Shannon bash the Broncos, You dont know what you are talking about. Go Shannon, hope you get in the year, you deserve it!!

    For college football I mean

  • crazykid

    Matthews is an absolute baller. We NEED him in 3rd round.

    Fairley has looked impressive, but i'm still slightly favoring Peterson. Fairley could overtake that spot w/ a better attitude and cleaner play.

  • BroncoMan24

    I agree that you could argue that Peterson is the BPA at #2, but by picking him what will that accomplish as far as fixing our defense? Even if Bailey ends up staying we will still end up with no pass rushing. I don't care if you have the best secondary in the league; your secondary is going to get torched if you give the QB time to find an open WR. The only reason we should pick up Peterson is if we pick up DL in FA or via trade. IMO we have to go DL in the draft to improve our defense. I would love to have Peterson, but he is not going to make a huge difference without a front 4 pass rush.

    Nothing wrong with playing a little dirty, that's what great defenses' are made of, you gotta have that certain attitude. Fairley reminds me of Warren Sapp, and I wouldn't mind having a Warren Sapp type player on our D-line

    Couldn't agree more, there has never been and will never be a CB that can cover a guy forever, you have to get pressure and that starts in the trenches. Average CB's and with a great DL makes a good D, as opposed to great CB with an average DL just creates a below average D.

    And TD will never ever come close to making it.

  • LevonZevon

    I agree. Plus, Sharpe resented the way the organization laughed off his complaints about racial-bias from Australian cabbies while there for an exhibition game (while coaches took jibes at his loquaciousness as if nothing he ever said was serious).

  • LevonZevon

    Woody couldn't get Gradishar in with his speech saying that Denver's players from the 60's would also be acknowledged by a vote for Randy. This told the H.O.F. Committee that Gradishar didn't deserve it on its merits.

    He also should have focused on the eerily-accurate anticipation and level of excellence that Gradishar maintained (even though he probably wanted to give it two more years when Elway arrived).

    To his credit, however, Paige delivered a self-effacing mea culpa of sorts on this very subject in a mail-bag from three years ago.

    News Flash:

    The list gets shorter. Gregg Williams, the DC from the Saints, drops out of the race for Broncos head coach.

  • herc_rock

    Love it. Here's some highlights from Gregg Williams CV:
    17-31 career record as HC,
    Lost out on the Skins HC job to Jim f'ing Zorn.
    Just let the worst playoff team of all time put up 41 on his sorry ass D.

    This guy is big-timing the broncos? Really?

  • http://twitter.com/DantePakistan Michael Land

    Plus, never trust a person that has extra unnecessary letters in their name. With the extra g for Gregg? What are you up to? What are your plans for the extra g? I don't like it!

    Trader ? like he trades baseball cards ? I think you mean traitor… even so, he went to Baltimore, won a Super-bowl, and had another solid season, then finished his career in Denver.. he bashes you guys because he hates seeing how bad your franchise is.
