Sharpe won’t be a part of the “NFL Today” family, accounts Sports by Brooks. Michele Bundy has been approved for a short-term restraining order guarding her from Sharpe, who allegedly committed sexual attack against her. Presently, no crime has been filed against Shannon Sharpe. The legal action has reportedly prompted Shannon Sharpe to step down as co-host of the popular Sunday National Football League television show.
’Sharpe assaulted me sexually,’ claims Bundy
Since 1994, Shannon Sharpe – twin brother of former NFL star Sterling – has faced 10 separate court cases involving former sex partners. In this instance, Bundy claims Sharpe forced her to have sex with him by threatening her life. Neither Shannon Sharpe nor CBS have commented around the matter, besides Sharpe’s statement that he will step away from “NFL Today” until “the matter is resolved”. Other legal matters on Sharpe’s plate contain child support trouble with Melinda Wilson. In 2004, Erika Evans – the mother of one of Sharpe’s kids – filed a misdemeanor battery charge against him, however the court charge was dropped in favor of dispute mediation.
Sharpe could play football, at least
Bleacher Report casts some light on the question of whether this event with 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. When Tony Gonzalez may have the stat edge among tight ends now, Sharpe should nevertheless receive serious consideration for his on-field accomplishments.
No morals in this term
What should the NFL do – if anything – concerning a morals clause within the HOF selection process? League bylaws spell out that only on-field adventures be chronicled when selection decisions are made. Bleacher Report rightly points out that former New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1999, and Taylor has had numerous ugly run-ins with the law based on drug, violence and a recent accusation of raping an underage girl. He is not the kind of person you’d hang out with, particularly if you were are underage female, but he absolutely nailed ball carriers and quarterbacks with his bone-rattling tackles.
On Feb. 5, 2011, the next class of inductees will be voted into the National Football Hall of Fame. Will he take it to the house, or still be in the doghouse for off-field choices?
