Best of Shannon Sharpe's Pro Football Hall of Fame speech

Shannon Sharpe delivers an emotional Pro Football Hall of Fame speech, that has gone down as one of the best HOF speeches of all time.

[@Temiken]

The comment about his brother makes me cry. Unbelievable.

[@BL4CKB1RD50]

Fr Shannon talked a lot of trash about him being the best but has a lot of respect for his brother..

Basil Carpenter jr he would've been better than randy moss and T.O? Well obviously it doesn't matter what could've happened, it matters what actually happened, and what happened was he only played 7 years, he was good for 7 years but don't shame moss Like that

[@MrKonan83]

He would have been up there w jerry and Randy if he didn't get hurt...he was phenomenal w farve as his qb who knows what may have been!

Sterling should be in the Hall. I don't care if he played seven years.

[@thezdbailey]

He should get the Gale Sayers treatment. And it's not like the Bears were world beaters in the time he was there. They never even made the playoffs. Put Terrell Davis in too imo...

[@jsteed3]

If Terrell Davis can get into the HOF In spite of the injury that ended his career, Sterling Sharpe should have that same opportunity.

[@merickz78]

I don't think some people realize how good Sterling Sharpe was for a little while there during the 90's. You can even argue that he was the top receiver in the league for a about 3 to 4 year period, maybe even ahead of Jerry Rice. Look at the numbers, and he had that one monster season with Don Majkowski at the helm. Sterling's best attribute was his strength. This guy would break tackles as if he were a 230 pound running back. He should be in the HOF one day.

[@chuckers40]

You are not the first to say that Sterling Sharpe should be in the Hall of Fame. Look at the his numbers during his career. Sterling had a short 8 year career. if it wasn't for a career ending neck injury, Sterling Sharpe would be right there in terms of receivers like Jerry Rice, Michael Irvin, Cris Carter, and others. He would have been all time great.

[@joelmcnultymusic]

Sterling was much better than Irvin, Carter. MUCH better.

[@rexholez2282]

I've been a die-hard 49ers fan for 25 years and I remember back then thinking if anyone is up there with Rice, it's Sterling. He dominated pretty much the same he just played nowhere near as long.

[@prettyugly]

erick m up until his unfortunate injury, he was the best receiver in the NFL, Jerry Rice and Andre Rison included. Back then, for much more of his career, sterling didn't play with a good receiver opposite him to take away the double coverage, and he didn't play with a good Quarterback (even back then, Favre was irratic and nowhere near the QB we grew to admire and respect as a legend).

[@dylanlawrence8031]

Joel Mc I agree 100% about Irvin but I’m not so sure on Carter

[@darricksublet9833]

STERLING STARTED 112 games, had 8,134 reciving yard and caught 65 TOUCHDOWNS ( which is more than Shannon's 55 Denver and 7 Baltimore thouchdowns put together) C'Mon SKIP PUT HIM IN THE HALL!!!!!!!!

[@maninoymultimedia379]

That's his role on the show, sometimes he sounds like a b*tch but we know Shannon is good person deep inside. Love it when they're yelling at each other to emphasize their point but that's part of the show, we know how TV show works. That thing about his brother and grandmother is priceless.

[@TheRabidbunnies]

Still kills me about what happened to Sterling. Dude held the "Triple Crown" one year with Brett Favre, had 18 receiving TDs in one year, second only to Rice, and much more. He was a Pro Bowler 5 times in 6 years, and if it wasn't for that goddamn neck injury, he would definitely be a Super Bowl champion, probably multiple times. He 100% should be in the HOF; fate just dealt him the worst hand imaginable at the worst time imaginable. Really terrible story

[@BBBYpsi]

He played 7 years. I know what you are saying. I feel the same way about a couple lions players. Herman Moore was never the same after he hurt his knee really bad at the end of 1998. He was doing what Sterling had been doing without the HOF QB. He had Scott Mitchell throwing up prayers to him & he could just out jump everyone. Same with Billy Simms who I believe would have been a HOF RB if not for the knee injury in 1984 that ended his career in game 8 of that year.

[@Chris-wq3pe]

lets spend a moment contrasting this HOF speech with Michael Jordan's. Shannon spent the whole speech honouring and thanking those around him in sports and in life, and in his family. Jordan spent most of his HOF speech taking shots at those around him in his career putting particular emphasis on expoosing those who doubted him. If there's a Sports GOAT in my mind, I'll take Shannon any day.

Favre to Sharpe was the best QB/Receiver duo in the NFL for 3 straight years. Look at the numbers. It is indisputable. He belongs in the hall.

Joel Mc Sterling Sharpe was good even before brett got there with Don makowsky and them other scrub quarterbacks they had in Green Bay.

[@joelmcnultymusic]

Never said he wasn't great before Favre. But he WAS at his best with Favre. you can say that about almost any receiver who played with Favre. So are you a Bears or Vikings fan? Or just ignorant? Maybe all 3?

I don't believe in telling someone what they should and shouldn't do. Because of the way Shannon's life unfolded, he gained immeasurable experience in football and on undisputed he is talking about the sports he loves and sharing that knowledge.

[@leesmith6866]

@@patrykkuffel2679 Yup. But I understand the OP's point. However, yes...Politics is not an automatic route for someone of his stature. Matter of fact, Shannon is too pure of heart for politics. Politics is a dirty game. Very few and I mean, VERY FEW people can do that and still be good at heart or at least be just/true to the laws of the land. Shay Shay is doing what he's supposed to do.

Sterling Sharpe ran 1a to Jerry Rice for 3-4 years from 1990 to 1993. The man should be in the Hall of Fame. It's a joke that his body of work isn't considered worthy because he didn't win a ring, but Lynn Swann, who had a pedestrian career amplified by being on a legendary team, is. Meanwhile, Cliff Branch, who had superior numbers, big playoff numbers/games, and three SB rings of his own, might never get in. It's pathetic.
