Shannon Sharpe says Antonio Gates cheated the game
Former Denver Broncos tight end Shannon Sharpe is a very vocal individual, but what he said today in an appearance on Sirius XM NFL Radio with Bob Papa and Vic Carucci may be going a bit overboard. Sharpe said that he isn’t buying the latest explanation from a player that they accidentally took a banned substance and that he thinks Gates “cheated the game.”
“It calls into question everything that he’s ever accomplished,” Sharpe said. “If he does it at the beginning of his career because he was an undrafted free agent, people are gonna say he did it to get in the league. Now he did it Year 13, Year 14 — People are going to say he did it to remain in the league. It does, it makes you question everything someone has ever accomplished.”
What do you think? Is Shannon wrong for his comments?
