Sterling Sharpe is one of the best Green Bay Packers players of all-time. He is a forgotten Packer somewhat because of his short career. He only played seven years with the Packers after a bizarre neck injury ended his career. I watched the play on YouTube (A young Joe Buck on the call) and he runs right into a defender where his neck snaps back. It is crazy that is the thing that took down Sharpe. Who knows with modern medicine if they could have fixed Sharpe today or if all hope was lost. Necks are something not usually worth messing around with. Sharpe isn’t in the Hall of Fame. For years, the Hall of Fame looked at longevity as part of the criteria but as the years have gone on, it’s become less of a thing. Hence why Shannon, Sterling’s baby bro made the case for him.

During the non-sports portion of the pandemic, I did a few ‘What if’ shows where I explored hypotheticals about my teams, and I think when there is some downtime, it’s time to do one on ‘What if Sterling Sharpe doesn’t get hurt?’ because the possibilities there were endless. Green Bay would have had Sharpe, Antonio Freeman, and Robert Brooks all on the same roster. I don’t remember much of Sharpe sadly. A touch before me. But this video is an awesome way to kill 15 minutes. Lot of good calls from Jim Irwin and Max McGee
