A man of character and good humor

This Saturday anyone who has ever been a fan of Denver Broncos football, or who appreciates people of good humor and impeccable character, will want to hear the speech given by Shannon Sharpe as he is inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
If you want to read a sweet story, please go here to read what Denver Post sportswriter Mike Klis wrote today about Shannon, who was raised by his grandmother in this
cinder block home with concrete floors in rural Georgia. His grandmother died this month in the nursing home where she had worked while raising her own nine children and Shannon and his brother and sister. Shannon has been determined never to embarrass his grandmother. Now he is sure she will be listening to his speech Saturday, and most of it will be about his grandmother. What a wonderful man of character and good humor.
