The show that was aired on NFL Network riveted for an entire hour and exposed the real person. Sharpe’s journey from Georgia to the Pro Football Hall of Fame started at a shack owned by his grandmother. Sterling and Shannon toured their old house in tiny Glennville, talking about their upbringings under the shelter of their grandmother.

“There’s a restroom. I remember you know we stand in front of the fireplace and run in the back room and get in the bed and get up under the covers. Go into school with a smile on the back of your pants because you stood too close to the fireplace because it was cold.”

“You know, there’s no paneling in the house. There’s no insulation in the house. It was a cinder block. cement floors, and so it really, really cold in the winter. And it was really, really hot in the summer.” Sharpe narrated the show.

The house had no modern facilities. Although it was a 1000-square-foot shack, it hosted nearly dozens of members with no running water or other basic amenities. If they wanted to use a bathroom, they had to walk to the nearby woods. It is great to see that times have changed for Sharpe and his family. His true efforts and hard work have finally paid off.
