Witten vs Shannon sharpe in a 40 yard dash

[Supercowboy1986]

Heard this on undisputed this morning. I don't think it's as outlandish as you may think despite the age difference. Sharpe was confident (not in an arrogant way) he could beat Witten in a 40.

I would LOVE to see this. I tweeted Jerry and the Cowboys. Hopefully it can happen and proceeds can go to charity or something.

Edit: sharpe said he'd prolly pull both hamstrings but believes he would still win

I think 3/4 of this board could beat Witt in any form of a dash.

His ego would have a 10 yard head start.

I just watched this, too. So funny. Love the show. Joy Taylor is a treat to watch, too.

There's other human beings on that show......?

With one more TD, Witten will pass Sharpe in that category (tied at 62). He has already dwarfed him in catches and yards.

I bet Shannon thinks his dad could beat up Witten's dad too.

What's funny is coming out of college, Witten and Prescott had very close to the same 40 time.
I think it was 4.85 to 4.80

Pretty sure I could beat Witten on my hands and knees in a blow-up Sumo wrestler Halloween costume.

Speed isn't his game.

Yes, her name is Joy, Seven!!! She's a gem She is the sister to Jason Taylor and a doll. Has a great persona on camera.

Did Witten run at the combine?

One reason Witten has done so well for so long is that his game as never been about athleticism. He's the tight end version of Tim Duncan, The Big Fundamental.

You never replied to me in another thread, JC

Anyways, it would be funny to see these two hulks race each other.

Joy Taylor is very easy on the eye...

She's a doll, Mojo. Gorgeous and subdued, unlike Molly (now) and the grating Kristine Leahy who only talks about men and dating lol

I agree. JT is pleasant but not much of a moderator. I do like me some Kristine leahy. She and Charissa Thompson are my football babes.

Agreed. Witten is not exactly a barn burner. My high school 40 (4.61) was better than Wittens combine 40. (4.65) Then again, I weighted about 110lbs less than his 265lbs at the time of running it.

Actually, I underestimated it.
His worst time was 4.75 and his core time was 4.65. So much faster than Dak.
pretty amazing. But that was long ago.

Yes, Witten ran a 4.65 at the combine.

That 4.65 40 time is very fast for tight end.
We all know he's nowhere near that now.

Also, here's an excerpt from an article discussing TE speed

---
"Here's a sample of some of the league's better receiving threats and the 40 times:
Tyler Eifert, Bengals - 4.68
Jermaine Gresham, Bengals - 4.66
Martellus Bennett, Bears - 4.68
Rob Gronkowski, Patriots - 4.69
Julius Thomas - 4.64
Jason Witten - 4.65

Even Aaron Hernandez, a guy who was considered to be as athletic as a wide receiver, only ran a 4.64 (and is now, you know, on trial for murder). Rarely do guys who run in the 4.5 range or better emerge as top-tier receiving threats (Graham's 4.53 is an exception)."

Sam got some wheels.......

Kristine is gorgeous, don't get me wrong. She is just to "easy breezy" blond for me. I used to love her. Now, I find her grating. Always talking about dating and such. She knows nothing of sports, outside of random basketball anecdotes.

She is a doll, I'll give her that, 86. I guess with a wizard like Colin, you don't need much more than a looker, so she does that well. Love The Herd.

Joy destroys her in professionalism, IMO.
