For Sterling Sharpe not to be included in the Hall of Fame is a crime and this is from a Minnesota Vikings fan. This man was unstoppable before the neck injury and the numbers he put up through his 7 years are Hall of Fame numbers.

[@ryanbxxxx]

At least packer fans can agree with you on one thing.

[@damomand]

Abel Mehari listen man i watched this dude play in the early 90's and, coming from a Niners fan, I would say he's 1a in my book as far as the most dominant receiver of that time. Unfortunately, injuries derail many promising careers, and 7 years just isn't enough time to log to be considered a Hall of Famer. Again, not disagreeing with the unstoppable part, cause this dude was straight fire.

[@Blackhawk5656]

+damomand howd gale sayers get in then?

[@williamcooper6274]

+Blackhawk5656 Gale Sayers was MAGIC!!!! If you seen the clips, it is indisputable as to why he is in Canton. it took him 61 Games... That's all he needed to convince us all. He ran with the speed and a unparalleled vision. And you think Barry Sanders had moves...Barry juked you and embarrassed you, Gale made it look pretty.

[@williamcooper6274]

+damomand Sterling Sharpe should be in the Hall when the veteran's committee wakes up about 15- 20 years from now. He was better than Michael Irvin, and right there with Jerry Rice. RIGHT THERE. He could run every pattern, and he was tough over the middle, and had speed to get deep. Sterling Sharpe was a bad boy...

3 things: First, this was in my opinion, the greatest HOF speech I've ever seen. Second, if Gale Sayers was elected to the HOF after an injury-shortened 7 year career, then certainly Sterling Sharpe should be. Third, the only athlete I think may be capable of equaling or surpassing this magnificent speech is none other than Shannon's former teammate, RAY LEWIS.

Ray Lewis will come up for 2018. He will bring down the house.

[@omieg89]

HoustonIsImmortal can you believe those two played on the same team? How can you beat them? Probably the greatest combination of offensive and defensive leadership on a team.

[@ClassickWORLD]

So... Do you think Ray's speech surpassed his?

[@sharonfoehner6518]

I could not agree more.

[@derekspradling1558]

Yeah Ray's was better but I love both these guys

[@grassalle]

Thank you Shannon. I'll never forget the lessons in this speech. Thank you.

As a younger cat I've never truly understood the general dislike for Shannon Sharpe nor have I cared too. As far I am concerned from what I can see this man is a stand up guy and an individual worthy of emulation. We can never ever have enough positive role models.

[@splashking1846]

He's a cheater

[@Antbeast23]

according to fans we can't

[@MalikMaximus]

Well that's just a damn shame then.

+Splash King Why is he a cheat?

[@golffreak68]

+KingAfrikQaB 1 day before start of regular season Sterling threatened to hold out for a new contract and that rubbed people the wrong way. And Brett of all people really let him have it

[@nebulae87]

no matter how many times i hear this speech, it always chokes me up. Stay humble my friends.

[@qur4334]

🙂 DEAR SHANNON SHARPE, I FEEL LIKE I KNOW YOUR 😇 GRANDMOTHER. EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A ❤ MARY PORTER ❤ IN THEIR LIVES .. GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY. THANK YOU 🫂🙏💪🏾

[@davidgibson5120]

Shannon, in your profession, you never know who you may reach or how it affects them, your speech has made me put my priorities in it's proper place, it's made me remember and appreciate my own personal journey, thank you so very much for being who you are.

[@davidharris4030]

Dang Shannon! You made me cry multiple times in this induction! You are a hell of a man❤❤❤❤❤

[@kristiwasserman2303]

I’m straight crying watching this years later. I grew up rough too in a different way. So straight tears

[@lawreneph]

Very emotional speech with wonderful stories from his family. Amazing I feel what he's saying.

[@RaahmanAsar]
