NFL legend reveals brutal romantic lessons

NFL legends Shannon Sharpe and Cam Newton got together for an episode of the Funky Friday podcast hosted by the former Carolina Panthers quarterback.

In the episode, Sharpe revealed how he learned about the risks of sleeping at women’s houses early in his career. Sharpe revealed two incidents in which he almost got into an altercation with another man also romantically linked to the women in question.

“Cam, something told, ‘Boy, keep your clothes on.’ So, I got on shorts and I got on a T-shirt,” Sharpe said, painting the scene. “Man, have you ever had sleep paralysis? You can hear things, but you can’t move … . I can hear, and it’s getting louder, it’s getting louder, and they’re arguing. So, by this time – boom! The door flies off the hinges. … So, I’m jumping up like, ‘Hey what’s up, boy, what’s it about to be?’ I said, ‘Oh lord, he’s got some bodies on his resume.’ Yeah, I’m talking about those kind of bodies.'”

Sharpe told Newton that he and the other man avoided a conflict and he left, disappointed in the woman for lying to him.

Sharpe apparently didn’t learn his lesson at first. He revealed another story from 1993 when he returned to Savannah State for homecoming.

“I set my stuff down. And I’m looking at the door handle, it’s turning. … Dude come in. He got that [AK-47]. Oh lord, have mercy. I said, ‘Lord.’ And he look at me, and he said, ‘My man.’ I said, ‘Yeah.’ He’s about to ask me if I’m Sharpe. I said, ‘Yeah.’ He said, ‘I thought so.’ I said, ‘My man, is this your people?’ He said, ‘Yeah. Two years,’” Sharpe explained.

“I said, ‘My man, I ain’t know.’ I said, ‘You know who I am now.’ I said, ‘Man, my bad. You saved me.’ Because if I had not been [interrupted], I ain’t telling this story right now.”

Newton found the stories hilarious.
