The Denver Broncos icon Shannon Sharpe is one of the best tight ends to ever play the sport. Apart from being an excellent tight end on the field, Sharpe also had a charismatic personality, which later earned him a career as a sports analyst. He is one of the most popular sports talk show hosts in the field right now and is expected to sign a new contract with ESPN soon.

Amidst this, an old video of Shannon Sharpe telling a savage yet hilarious story went viral on social media. In the video, which was originally shot when Sharpe was still playing for the Broncos, the 3-time Super Bowl champion Sharpe told a savage yet amusing story from his elementary school days.

“I had a speech class in elementary school. And the teacher always said if a person comes to a word, they can’t get it, we are going to let them sound it out and we are going to help them but let me do that, don’t you do it. So, I never forget this guy named Johnny. He got to a word and the teacher kept saying, ‘It sounds like.. Johnny, It sounds like…’ and I said it sounds like Johnny can’t read,” said Sharpe.

Furthermore, he also revealed his counter got himself expelled from the class and he didn’t attend the class for the next 2 weeks. “She said ‘Shannon Sharpe get out of the class and don’t come back until you learn how to… to talk to people.’ I went out to class, I was out for two weeks,” said Sharpe.
