Charges filed against Sharper - Rape and drug charges

[Patler]

It's possible. TT was Director of Pro Personnel during Sharper's first 2 years in Green Bay, and didn't hesitate much before getting rid of him when he came back as GM in 2005. The reason given was that he wanted Sharper to take a pay cut, but I wonder if the real reason was that he wanted Sharper to leave. I had the impression at the time that they just didn't want Sharper around, but wasn't sure why.

Kind of makes you wonder now, doesn't it? The story at the time was that TT wanted him to take a huge pay cut million, from total compensation of $6 million down to $2. Not too often you see someone agree to 1/3 what they were due. I assumed they figured he was done physically, but maybe they just didn't want him around.

Sharper's high-priced attorneys think "the truth will set him free" but we've heard that before........I have to sneeze......'In-cog-ni-to'!

They better be good because it looks like the captain of the "Love Boat" is in serious trouble.

Fred Smoot was the captain of that ship, your memory is a little hazy.


I agree with people that 7 allegations from 4 states leaves one by default to believe there is a crime here. He'll have his day in court but me thinks his next conquest will be bubba in the cell next door.

Yup, and I'd lean towards TT wanting him out. There was some debate around here at the time about how bad the Pack's cap situation was, and if Sharper was really as done as the offer indicated. I think he wasn't, TT knew he would get his money elsewhere and was anxious to see the taillights of his car.

If he posts bail, I suspect he will have to turnover his passport as well. No way they give him an easy chance to leave the country with that many potential charges in his future.

Meh. There are ways and there are ways. A passport prevents commercial air travel, that's about it. Hernandez had plenty of notice the walls were closing in and should've known enough to get out (he thought he was invincible). Sharper is a bit older and one would think, wiser. In his shoes I'd be leaving Dodge, and handing over $200K and a passport would seem like a fricken bargain to me.

edit: I notice you said east chance to leave the country, so you well know he wouldn't have too much trouble.

Yes, I wrote "easy chance" for a reason; there is always a way to do things, but it can be expensive. Leaving the country isn't the problem, entering a new one causes the difficulty, and the expense.

When he was with the Packers I thought he was kind of a moron. When the Vikings signed him they had such safety problems I was semi ok with it. He played pretty well during his time in Minnesota and seemed like a decent guy. Of course I had always looked up to OJ Simpson too and look where that got me.....

This whole thing is just sad. It's also very surprising. Wow. What a slime bag. How hard would it be for a rich, good lookin' guy to get laid the regular way?

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

Maybe he forgot his cup one game and one of his nuts exploded. That would be embarrassing for someone to see. I give his lawyer permission to use that at his hearing.

Possibly, yes. I've got some limited experience there, and can say that you can get yourself into Nigeria pretty inexpensively. Question is, do you really want to be there?

I imagine John McAfee could hook him up in a slightly nicer place somewhere in South America!

sounds like he'll be wearing "the new black" for a very long time. #predator

I just want to say one thing to Harvey Wallbanger.

I told you so.

Bump?

I'm not surprised at all....sex can drive men to do some stupid shit....and drive some men to do horrific things. He just happens to be a former Packer.

[Freak Out]

Oh wait.....was that video appropriate for the Packer Page?

apparently the hardest part about Nigeria is getting 20 million out of the country, especially if you are a wealthy foreigner.
