Hater #4 Shannon Sharpe, aka “Marble Mouth”

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

I’m going to sum this one up quick. I haven’t got much positive feedback on my blog so I’m going to try another approach.

Unfortunately I am unable to watch CBS’ Sunday program even though my they provide more coverage of my team. Bill Cower, Boomer, and Marino provide great football analysis, but where does Shannon Sharpe fit into the equation? Did they need someone with a big enough ego to compensate for the rest of the panel?

This past weekend I did switch to CBS briefly and I caught their picks for the superbowl this year. Dan Marino mentioned the Patriots and immediatly Shannon is heckling Dan and leaning back in his chair and making facial gestures. And that was it. I couldn’t bear anymore. The funny thing is I would rather watch FOX with Mike Strahan who was very instrumental in preventing my teams perfect football season.

The following day on Sirius NFL Radio, after the fate of Tom Brady was pretty much determined, Shannon and Bob Popa are talking about how the picture looks for the rest of the AFC East. Shannon just couldn’t help being excited. He starts to mention how things look much better for the Jets and Bills. The way he stated it, before he caught himself hating and changed his approach, was “Things are looking better for us.” He then stuttered back and said “Things are looking better for the Jets and Bills” as he giggled with glee.

Why is it that CBS wants to host the perogotive of an egotistical jackass like Shannon Sharpe when he hates on greatness?

I know the hate list goes on and on with Shannon in mind. He’s been an extremely vocal hater for such a long time. Please feel free to list more examples of Shannon’s hating not just here but anywhere you can. Maybe someday we won’t have to hear him anymore on any major network.
