Sharpe Stick In The Eye

You're minor, we're major
you all up in the game and don't deserve to be a player...

The Donk Franchise got a small amount of redemption this weekend when Floyd Little got his pass in the Hall of Fame. Yet, Shannon Sharpe was left out for the second consecutive year.

Russ Grimm: great player, but did opposition defenses game plan against him? Was Rickey Jackson a linebacker that struck fear in the mind of coaches? And Jerry Rice? 1995 called and wants their earrings back.

If Sharpe had played for the Giants the media would be having a collective circle jerk and he would already be ahead of Kellen Winslow and Ozzie Newsome as the greatest tight end of the era. Hmmm. Just realized I used 'circle jerk' and 'tight end' in the same sentence. Someone searching for some hard core porn and gets directed here might be disappointed.

He'll get in, maybe as soon as 2011. There will be a bust carved of him that looks more like the carving that lady did of Lionel Richie in the "Hello" video. He'll get his Century 21 jacket and his autograph fee will go up 200 percent.

Yet, most of us Bronco fans have just accepted this: there is an East Coast bias, the late 90s Broncos don't get enough credit as a NFL power of the last 40 years, and Sharpe is a victim of the Mountain Standard Time Zone.
