Shannon Sharpe has seen adversity throughout his career and throughout his life, yet he has never backed down from any of it. Safe to say, he isn’t bowing down anytime soon, either. Hours after Sharpe was involved in a tragic robbery at his LA Home, which saw the legendary TE stripped of $1 Million worth of accessories and jewelry, Sharpe opened up his own offer to fans and the public. In return for information about the robbery or its perpetrators, Sharpe has offered up a special five-figure sum. 

He went to 8 Pro Bowls, was selected to 4 All-Pro teams, won 3 Super Bowls, and was a member of the NFL’s all-decade team. And above all else, he made the elusive Football Hall Of Fame. And, this time, he is ready for one more fight.

While it remains the responsibility of anyone with information about a crime to come forward willingly, Sharpe has added a small reward of his own to sweeten the pot for informants.  Sharpe has taken matters into his own hands by offering a substantial reward of $50,000 for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the individuals involved.

While Sharpe has remained fairly unfazed by the robbery in his public life, with the TE appearing on his show ‘Undisputed’ without mentioning it, he certainly remains sharp in the hunt for the perpetrators. This unique opportunity allows fans to contribute directly to their idol’s cause and potentially earn a significant financial reward for their efforts. But Sharpe’s legal troubles don’t end there.

Sharpe continues the fight in Brett Favre’s case

The legal dispute between former NFL quarterback Brett Favre and Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe centers around a defamation case filed by Favre against Sharpe. The origins of this case can be traced back to Favre’s alleged involvement in the Mississippi welfare fund scandal.

Favre recently opposed Sharpe’s motion for an extension, presenting a formidable challenge to Sharpe’s defense strategy. Sharpe’s initial motion to dismiss the defamation suit had set the stage for a contentious legal battle. However, Favre’s opposition to Sharpe’s motion is perhaps a sign that the legendary QB isn’t about to let the Fox Sports analyst walk scot-free, as he did with Pat McAfee.
