Shannon Sharpe on Rod Gardner (Preseason 2005)

[Longtimefan]

What's so ironic about the players that leave for other teams and badmouth us is that when they come to us initially they have nothing but good things to say, when for whatever reason things don't work out it's all negative. Several players come to mind when I'm reminded of this. Dan Wilkerson, Jerimiah Trotter, Champ Bailey, Fred Smoot, Indeque Kalu, Antonio Pierce, Mike Sellers, L, Coles, Rod Gardner, the list just goes on and on. When they're done playing where they are now they will say bad things about that team if they're fortunate enough to move on to still another team. It seems to be a trend for which there is no cure.
