Know this has been hashed over and over here from time to time...........but seriously, isn't or wasn't there quite a few better candidates for this job and how did guy get this gig?

Is he paid?

Two reasons. At the time he was hired he was the black guy and he is suppose to be the comical relief. Like charles Barkley and Micheal Irvin.

:lolBIG: I don't like the at all myself. Plus I could'ntagree with you more. He makes it quite obvious at that. If he was white he would have been fired a long time ago.

Maybe it is affirmative action?

Ive never really pd much attention to him on TV but he is on the NFL radio network and is VERY insightful to the game...Guy knows a helluva lot more than ur avg player about the game and the players.
The very 1st day it was announced that the Saints had signed Jason David he said it was an awful signing and that David was a " guesser".he lines up and guesses which way the reciever is going and that a lot of the db's in the NFL are guessers also....
Sure enough u watch David one time and u can see that Sharpe knows exactly what he was talking about...
Myself i think he's one of the most insightful ppl ive ever heard talk football.Not sure how he comes across on t.v. but on the radio he's 1st class all the way....
