Initial accounts from sources like Sports by Brooks indicate that former National Football League good Sharpe has stepped down from his co-host position around the Columbia Broadcasting System sports program “NFL Today”. Bundy, who’s apparently Sharpe’s girlfriend, was given a restraining order in Fulton County Superior Court based on what court files indicate was “family violence” between the two. 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.
Sexual attack is Michele Bundy’s claim towards Sharpe
Since 1994, Sharpe – twin brother of former National Football League 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. CBS has been tight-lipped around the matter, and all Sharpe has had to say is that he is resigning from “NFL Today” until his name is clear. Sharpe is presently involved in a child support dispute with a woman named Melinda Wilson. At least he’s no longer on the hook for allegations of misdemeanor battery towards Erika Evans. That 2004 debacle was taken care of via mediation, rather than a court sentence.
Not a shining illustration
As outlined by Bleacher Report, it remains to be seen whether the Bundy minefield will leave Shannon Sharpe’s Hall of Fame chances intact. Sharpe has put together an remarkable resume on the field, and he has come close in his first two chances at election. Tony Gonzalez of the Kansas City Chiefs may have amassed stats more gaudy than Shannon Sharpe’s, however that shouldn’t keep him out of the Hall.
Rejecting a good choices term
What should the NFL do – if anything – regarding a good choices term in the HOF selection process? League bylaws spell out that only on-field adventures be chronicled when selection decisions are made. Yet how can football supporters forget Lawrence Taylor, who was enshrined in 1999 despite a really checkered off-field acumen, asks Bleacher Report. He got in without any trouble because he was a dominant defensive player. ”LT” may not are one of the most savory of characters, but around the field, he was a defensive “demon dog,” to quote one Thunder the Barbarian.
Shannon Sharpe will get an additional chance at the Hall of Feb. 5, 2011. Will he take it to the house, or still be in the doghouse for off-field choices?
