    Shannon Sharpes induction speech...

    Very moving... The insight of a driven man to be the best and give the best. Very similar to Michael Jordan's speech. I was very touched how he paid a tribute to his brother, Sterling, and granny. That being said, do you think sports writer will butcher him the way they did Jordan?...
    I am glad I got the Buell- I love riding it, I love the oddball looks I get on the road- I love people asking "What IS that thing?" I love flying into a corner WAY too hot, scared spitless and sure I'll never hold it at this speed- and hearing the bike whisper "Sissy!"...

              No he won't catch flack for the speech. Anyone who does is only doing so for attention.

                  Loved the speech, but I don't think he'll catch any of the flak MJ did.

                  If I remember correctly, MJ's speech was a lot more combative. Whereas Sharpe got up there and paid tribute, MJ got up there and ethered some people. Personally, I think writers, yahoo in particular, made more out of it than it was. If anyone had paid any attention to Jordan beyond the sweet commercials they'd have seen the rage driving him. The speech was only speech MJ could have given.

                      If anyone finds the speech online, can you post a link here? I missed it and everyone is talking about it!

                          I agree that people made too big of a deal about Jordan's speech. I thought it was one of the best speeches I'd have ever heard and if he'd have said it any other way, it just wouldn't have seemed like Jordan.

                          But yes, Sharpe's speech was great. We all know Deion's going to give us a show, but Sharpe's speech was just great. Love when he talked about Sterling.

                              Sharpe's speech was MUCH better than Deion's.

                                              I remember watching Sharpe Focus on NFL Network last tuesday and I just lost it when Shannon Sharpe told his grandma that he made the hall of fame and her granny responded, "Ooh that's a long time baby, I sure hope I'm around to see it". And he later said, "my grandmother past last night as I'm sitting here in this chair doing this interview". It's ashamed she couldn't be around watching his speech. Because he was waiting for this moment to say thank you. I'm sure she would be proud of him.

                                                  I got a great deal of respect for Shannon. He loved his grandmother with his every breath.

                                                      By far the best speech of the ceremony.. The man got up there and spoke from the heart, pouring out his soul..

                                                      I had a new found respect and understanding for the man after I saw the pre-induction special, but that speech took it to a different level..

                                                      Shannon is a class act.. The speech was truly touching..

                                                          I love how him and Deion spoke from the heart. I could tell it was gonna be emotional just from watching NFL Network all day. Stories of overcoming obstacles like these and triumph never get old. I almost felt like I knew his Grandma after he detailed her in such light.
