Former NFL All-Pro tight end Shannon Sharpe has added one more “former” to his list of credentials: previous co-host of the Sunday CBS Sports show “NFL Today”. Bundy has been approved for a short-term protective order protecting her from Sharpe, who allegedly committed sexual attack towards her. Presently, no crime has been filed against Shannon Sharpe. However, it is clear that Sharpe has stepped down from his TV host position as a result of the recent turn of events.
Bundy alleges sexual assault
Since 1994, Sharpe – twin brother of former NFL star Sterling – has faced 10 separate court cases involving previous sex partners. In this instance, Bundy states Sharpe forced her to have sex with him by threatening her life. Columbia Broadcasting System has remained silent in regards to Bundy’s claims, and all Sharpe has said around the matter publicly is that he will clear up legal matters before returning to “NFL Today”. Other legal matters on Sharpe’s plate consist of child support trouble with Melinda Wilson. At least he’s no longer around the hook for allegations of misdemeanor battery against Erika Evans. That 2004 debacle was taken care of via mediation, instead of a court sentence.
Hall of Fame accomplishments aside
Bleacher Report casts some light on the question of whether this incident with Michele Bundy will harm Shannon Sharpe’s chances of being enshrined in the National Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. Sharpe has put together an impressive resume on the field, and he has come close in his first two chances at election. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez may have broken numerous of Shannon Sharpe’s individual statistical achievements since Sharpe’s retirement from the playing field, but Sharpe’s body of evidence remains strong.
Rejecting a good choices term
Should the NFL institute a “morals clause” into their Hall of Fame selection process? Current bylaws specifically state that only a player’s on-field accomplishments should be considered when the question of enshrinement is around the table. Lawrence Taylor made it in 1999, and he certainly hasn’t led a clean life off the field. He is not the kind of person you’d hang out with, particularly if you were are underage female, however he absolutely nailed ball carriers and quarterbacks with his bone-rattling tackles.
Shannon Sharpe will get an additional chance at the Hall of Feb. 5, 2011. Will he break the plane of the goal line, or be sacked by Bundy?
