Saw this was mentioned in the other thread, felt it deserved its own.
Yeah, we all know Shannon is a loudmouth and is pretty much unbearable (imo) but he's dead on here. Just because you've had past success doesn't mean you can't handle yourself with dignity and class.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick never looks happy when he wins. He’s definitely not happy when he loses.
And CBS analyst Shannon Sharpe has had enough. Sharpe ripped Belichick for declining to submit to an interview with Steve Tasker of CBS after Sunday’s 28-13 loss to the Ravens.
“There’s something to be said about being gracious in defeat,” Sharpe said. “We’ve seen the New England Patriots five times in the last 12 years be victorious. And we’ve seen the opposing coaches that lost come out and talk to our Steve Tasker. Coach Cowher did it when [the Steelers] lost to them. We saw this last week [when the Patriots beat the Texans].
“Bill Belichick makes it real easy for you to root against the Patriots. You can’t be a poor sport all the time. You’re not gonna win all the time. And he does this every time he loses. It is unacceptable.”
So much for the perception that CBS is the official network of the New England Patriots.
Then again, if Sharpe isn’t back with CBS next year, we’ll know why.
