DAVIE, Fla. -- Two weeks ago, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Brandon Marshall stood in front of his locker, surrounded by reporters and television cameras, and popped off about the NFL Network's criticism of his play in Miami's 31-23 loss to the New York Jets.He targeted most of his venom at former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Sterling Sharpe, expressing his doubts as to whether or not Sharpe was truly an elite pass-catcher and worthy of Hall of Fame consideration.
"I've got to turn on the film and see what he was able to do," were Sharpe's exact words on Sept. 30. "I know he's done some good things, but from my understanding he's not a Hall-of-Fame player"
Now that he has had some time to gain a little perspective and to learn more about Sharpe as a player, Marshall has decided to man up and update his thoughts on the career of the NFL Network analyst.
"Like I told Michael Irvin on his radio show, I hate to do this but I have to retract my statement," said Marshall, who has caught at least 100 passes in each of the last three seasons and is on pace to do it again this season. "Sterling Sharpe is a beast. He was pretty good in his day, and if he would have had the opportunity to stay healthy he'd be a Hall-of-Famer, no doubt about it. The other guys (Mike Mayock and Solomon Wilcots), I'm not sure."
