About this episode
Club Shay Shay is officially open! The Hall of Famer takes it back to where it all began, as he welcomes in his brother & “father figure” Sterling Sharpe — the first time the two former NFL stars have had a sit-down interview together. Episode 1 of Club Shay Shay is the definitive history of Shannon and Sterling’s upbringing, as well their respective journeys to prominence. Shannon, 52, and Sterling, 55, grew up in a rural area in South Georgia, in a 1000 square-foot cinder block house, with no running water and a thin, leaky, tin roof. The two brothers discuss growing up together with their older sister, Libby, and their influential grandparents, Barney and Mary Porter. Sterling and Shannon detail their college careers and they both tell their sides of the 1990 NFL Draft, when Shannon was selected by the Denver Broncos in the 7th round (192nd overall). Sterling, the 7th overall pick of the 1988 NFL Draft, played at South Carolina before being drafted by Packers. The 5-time Pro Bowler and 3-time All-Pro played 7 seasons in Green Bay. The two brothers delve into Sterling’s playing days, including his career-ending injury and its aftermath. #DoSomethinB4TwoSomethin & Follow Club Shay Shay: https://www.instagram.com/clubshayshay https://twitter.com/clubshayshay https://www.facebook.com/clubshayshay https://www.youtube.com/c/clubshayshay Learn more about your ad choices.
