There has been a murder in Savannah.  Allegedly.

Actually, it was in Stone Mountain, allegedly, and the suspect spent three years in the NFL.

Glenn Sharpe, 27, is accused of shooting a man to death on February 2, according to 11alive.com.

Undrafted in 2008 and signed by the Falcons, Sharpe also spent time with the Saints and Colts before exiting the league.  He won a Super Bowl ring as a member of the New Orleans practice squad.

Sharpe, who played college football at Miami, is perhaps best known for drawing the delayed pass interference penalty in the national title game against Ohio State to cap the 2002 season.  A true freshman at the time, he spent six seasons with the Hurricanes after tearing the ACL is each knee in separate years, 2003 and 2005.

  1. Is this guy related to Shannon Sharpe? Would make a few things much more clear….

    On a side note, Ray Ray stuffed Cundiff into a trunk and left him in the desert outside Vegas.

  2. Is it really “allegedly” a murder? I mean, unless the guy shot himself to death, he was murdered right?

  3. Who? This is better news for CFT. This guy barely sniffed an NFL roster. Can he really be called ‘former NFL player’; don’t think he ever cleared a 53 man roster?

  4. Is it really “allegedly” a murder? I mean, unless the guy shot himself to death, he was murdered right?

    I think you just answered your own question.

  5. 6 years in college and probably still needs 40 plus hours to graduate. This guy was a practice squad player, does he count?

  6. SHOCK! Player from the U commited murder, never thought id see the day……wait this sounds familar

    Allegedly because EVERYONE is innocent until proven guilty. Just because ur arrested doesnt mean ur guilty.

  8. They don’t give you a Super Bowl ring unless you were an NFL player. Hope that clears things up for you nitwits.

  9. I find it IRONIC that no team that he played for was mentioned in the headline yet if the person was a member of the Patriots (even if only for 1 year no matter how many years/teams that person played for) the article would have read: “FORMER NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS PLAYER CHARGED WITH MURDER”, but because it was for the MEDIA DARLINGS Saints or Colts no team is mentioned….Go ahead, tell me I’m wrong, but we ALL know I’m right….

    Where do you come up with the notion that the pats aren’t media darlings? A bit narcissistic? By that comment alone you seem to have some serious mental issues.

    Reading comprehension.

    The article says in the first line: “There has been a murder in Savannah. Allegedly.”

    It does not say “Glenn Sharpe committed a murder in Savannah. Allegedly.”

    Then again, I wouldn’t much comprehension if you’re too lazy to type “you’re” that you write “ur” instead.

    .

    AM i the only idiot who gets what the original poster is saying? there is a level of sarcasm in his post because of they way it was written. dont worry bro, i laughed cause i thought the same thing.
    the people who are questioning your post sound like jim rome clones….

  13. @bigbeefyd:

    The Bengals are FIFTH in the NFL in arrests since 2006. That means there are FOUR teams with more arrests. Also, they’ve never had a murderer on their team. None of our ex-players are murderers either.

  14. Ahahahahahahaha! Typical U “graduate.” You can’t make this stuff up:

    Wilson opened the door and Sharpe “struck her in the face and pushed her.” Wilson let Galloway know Sharpe was at the door and Galloway came from the back of the apartment and began to “fight,” according to reports.

    Sharpe and Wilson exchanged words when Sharpe “took out a black handgun from his side and began shooting into the apartment.”
