Thanks for doing the piece on scoring defense. I was thrilled when I saw my email up on the screen. You are a man of your word, thank you:) I will record the show and keep it forever. My next request is to find out what the NFL record is for scoring defense. The info I have so far from a local reporter is: The Seahawks of 1998 who had 10 TD's scored by the defense. I have not verfied this as fact. I have been told the NFL has never kept an exclusive record for scoring defense. The stat is kept with the TD's scored by the special teams. Do you have a team of research guys to separate this stat? Maybe we can create a new stat to be recorded by the NFL. I am chomping at the bit to know. The Saints already have 7 defensive scores. Your thoughts?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
You are very welcome and thank you for watching the show. We had a lot of fun doing it and wanted to make sure we gave you all the credit. I will have to get back to you on the record as I don't have those stats in front ofme. -
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
Its time to find out what is going on in your league -

do you think that Chris McAlister will fit in with greg williams defense playbook and do a good job replacing a very good tracy porter?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
Yes because he is healthy. they need healthy bodies and he is in great shape. I played golf with him 2 weeks ago and he looked great. But that was golf wasn't it. He should be fine -
Bex, Brooklyn
2:01 PM ET
Sterling, thanks for chatting with us. With or without Cedric Benson, will the Bengals have any trouble with the Raiders? Tell me straight why the Bengals have been so good this season?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
Yes because the raiders have players with pride and they don't want to get embarassed. I think the bengals will win but it won't be a walk over -

Hey Sterling , Colts are overdue for their first loss, can you see the Ravens being to team to upset them?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
I don't agree with overdue for a loss but I don't think the ravens can confuse or put enough pressure on Peyton and that colt offense. How about the performance of reggie wayne, he is very underappreciated. -
JW, C/S, CO
2:03 PM ET
I am a big Phillip Rivers fan and I don't think he gets the kudos he deserves. How do you think he ranks among the AFC QBs and NFL QBS in general ?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
A few miles behind brady and manning. he is a fine player and good leader. he just needs to win more to get the ultra credit he deserves. I feel the same way you do he is most under rated -
Primo, Santa Monica, CA
2:04 PM ET
What do you see in the Monday night matchup between the Titans and Texans? It seems like the whole Titans team has responded to VY at QB ...
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
I see the best back in football in chris johnson have a really good day. He leads the nfl in rushing and yards after contact. i see vince playing better now that he is finding his comfort zone. I am picking the titans to win. -
jmark, north bay
2:06 PM ET
Can Denver get things turned around? Does the big onion (your brother) have any ideas to help his old team out?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
Shannon doesn't play defense. Thats what Denver needs to do esp. against the run. 125,173 174 last 3 games all losses. Its simple they stop the run they win games. -
Jim, Texas
2:07 PM ET
Giants or Falcons?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
I am going with the giants. I like the fact that the bye week allowed them to work on the redzone on both sides of the ball. Last in redzone defense and 28 in redzone offense. Fix that and get back to winning games. -
George, Northern California
2:08 PM ET
Hello Sterling, what do you think of Favre as a MVP canidate? Also as a wide receiver what do you think od Sidney Rice? Thanks, George
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
I like them both. I think sidney is have a great year because he has a qb that can and will get him the ball. Confidence is a large part to becoming a great player and brett has built Sidney's up very high. I would vote for Chris Johnson of Tenn if I had a vote and I had to give it today. -
Felipe, TJ, Mexico
2:10 PM ET
Sterling Is it a walk on the park on sunday vs KC for the Steelers?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
No it is not. Kc is playing better and I am not sure which steelers team will show up. Pitt has allowed 3 kickoff returns for td and that needs to change. I think pitt wins but it will be a good game. Close. -
Toyia, Philly
2:11 PM ET
Sterling ... I like the Eagles on the road against the Bears ... are you wtih me? Tell me what you see in this game -- I'm not even sure Andy Reid needs to call a single run play. I can see Mcnabb and Co. shredding the Bears defense.
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
Yes I do. The only reason i like the eagles is Jay Cutler. He has thrown 17 int, he leads the league in that stat but He has thrown 11 in prime time games on Tv. Its like he is trying to show the rest of the league thats watching him he has a big arm and can throw it anywhere. Thats why I like the eagles. Its a prime time game. -
Herb, Atlanta
2:13 PM ET
#2 The Great! Last year opposing defenses talked about how predictable the Cowboys were down the stretch. I've seen them fade offensively (under Garrett) over the last two season. Should I be worried again after only running the ball 11 times against GB last Sunday? How much of it has been Romo and how much has been Garrett?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
Don't jump yet. The packers played lights out on last sunday and I think the cowboys settle down and get back to what they need to do from here on. -
Tom, Connecticut
2:15 PM ET
Sterling I can see your former team, The Pack, getting upset by the 49ers this week. But I can also see the Pack winning this game. Do yout think it will be close like I do?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
Pack have a 6 game win streak vs 49ers. Who ever wins this will not be an upset. I like the packers if they get after alex smith like they did Tony Romo -
Ed, Sandersville, GA
2:15 PM ET
Sterling, What's going on with the Detroit Lions? Calvin is becoming Lionized and Stafford looks like he might be a bust. What can they do?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
Show some patience. I was a player like calvin on a bad team when I got to Green bay. We started to get better players that forced all of us to be accountable and go the extra mile. We turned it around I think calvin and matt will do the same -
Chris, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
2:17 PM ET
Do you think it bothers Adrian Peterson to have the attention suddenly shifted to Brett Favre this season?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
Not at all. He is still getting his touches and he doesn't have to answer as many questions after the game. -
Ralph Maccio, No clue.
2:17 PM ET
Yo Sterling, we're talking about making a new Karate Kid movie. Of course i'll be starring as lead. Any chance you'll sign on to be the new bad guy?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
Hell yes. Sign me up -
John, Twin Cities, MN
2:18 PM ET
Hi Sterling, Aaron Kampman looks lost in the new 3-4 defensive scheme of the Packers. How can they utilize him in a more productive fashion?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
Trade him. Look how the defense looked last week without him. 5 sacks and 3 turnovers -
Matt, MN
2:18 PM ET
Chris Johnson BETTER than AP...Wow
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
This year, yes -
Travis, Virginia
2:19 PM ET
Hey Sterling! Will Dallas dominate Sunday or can we expect a close one?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
It should be close but I expect the cowboys to win. -
Steven, upstate SC
2:19 PM ET
Hey Sterling... Think the Gamecocks have a chance next weekend in the big game? =o)
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
They always have a chance. They seem to lack the belief that they are as good as any one they play. I want them to come to be almost cocky. They are in every game and good football teams find a way to win the close games esp at home. Go Cocks -
matt, orlando
2:21 PM ET
what do you think of the 4th and 2 call by belicheck
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
Love the call one of the 2 best players in our league with the ball in his hands to keep it from the other best players in our league iin peyton manning. I love the call. -
Jeff, Illinois
2:22 PM ET
Do you think the bengals are a super bowl contender?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
At 7-2 with the raiders on the horizon, Hell yes. -
Barry, Mississippi
2:23 PM ET
What do you think is going on with Roy Williams? Although he had a decent game last week. Is it something between him and Romo?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
No he is not as quick as he needs to be to play big dividens. He doesn't catch enough balls that hit him in the hands. He is a good complement but not a go to guy. I like sam hurd and pat crayton with miles austin. speed kills -
ochocinco, cinn, oh
2:25 PM ET
can i borrow $25000
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
I need to talk to my manager -
Avery, Arkanasas
2:26 PM ET
Do you think willis is the best LB playing right now?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
Thats a good one. I still love Ray in Baltimore and I like Nick Barnett in green bay but I believe willis is a top 3 guy. -
james, blah
2:26 PM ET
you dont know anything bout football
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
And here you are in my chat. Look at what you know. -
Brad, NY
2:27 PM ET
What do you think of the move in buffalo to fire there Head Coach??
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
It was going to happen and they the bills wanted it sooner than later. Coach Jauron was with me in green bay so I feel a little sad today. But with that said it is a bottom line business and he knows you got to win to stay in. -
Mauro , Fortaleza , Brazil
2:28 PM ET
Do you think that if Steven Jackson had a chance in another team , he would be considerated the best back in the NFL? In my opinion , he's the most complete RB in the league.
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
I hope he stays in Slt. He is a great player and the rams gave him a chance to fulfill his dream as an nfl player. I think he is a top 3 back in the game. Chris johnson is complete also -
Ed, Sandersville, GA
2:30 PM ET
Sterling, do you think the Lions Defense would do better as a 3-4 or should they stay a 4-3? and why is the defense so bad now?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
No, the players need to just man up and say that we are not losing anymore. Pride needs to step in -
Denzel, Hollywood
2:30 PM ET
Who's better looking Denzel Washington or Shannon Sharpe?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
Even I know this one, Denzel Washington. I love his movies, -
Dan, Va
2:31 PM ET
Sterling, who has the bigger game this week, the Ced Benson or the Bengals D?

Bengals Defense. I love Brandon Johnson -
nick, London, Uk
2:34 PM ET
Do you think the texans are a super bowl contender?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
Not yet, I give them a few years. -
PANTHER FAN, SC
2:34 PM ET
WHO WILL WIN THURS NITE GAME
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
I know miami is without Ronnie Brown, but panthers are without thomas davis, and Peppers having a broken hand will hurt the defense. I like miami. Jake no turnovers in 3 straight games. -
Eric, CA
2:36 PM ET
How long til the niners are a super bowl contender?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
Not yet, too inconsistant. -
kyle, wisconsin
2:37 PM ET
with Ced benson possibly not playing next week against the raiders, can carson palmer step up and lead the team to a win? does carson palmer still have what he had in 05?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
He has been doing it all season. I like palmer in this game as well. -
Damviking, Wisconsin
2:37 PM ET
Is Percy Harvin the rookie of the year?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
Right now and next week -
Joel, Kansas City
2:38 PM ET
Is Brett Favre overrated? He's anything but to me. Your thoughts?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
Over hyped is a better choice of words. Remember the vikings won the division with out brett and made the playoffs. He makes them better and for that he was a great pick up. -
olk,
2:40 PM ET
Sprint Right Option Best play ever?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
I liked X sluggo Z seam. Or 22 Z in or 2 jet dino Y shallow cross. -
Chris, Columbia SC
2:41 PM ET
What do you think of Steve Spurrier, should USC move on or stick with him?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
No I like steve I think he should keep doing what he is doing. He doesn't play or throw ints or drop passes or miss tackles. The next guy will get the same performance steve is getting now. -
dolphan Steve, Asheville, NC
2:42 PM ET
Why am I the only one shivering at the Patriots having 7 picks in the first two rounds next year?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
You better be, if you can't beat them now, wait until they restock that roster. Look out league -
John, CA
2:43 PM ET
Sterling Sharpe who is going to the SUPERBOWL????
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
John I really don't know but New Orleans or Indy will not be there. -
Majik, Green Bay
2:44 PM ET
Brett Favre or Don Majkowski? Come on Sterling! Tell them the truth.
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
Don and I had great times. Don gave me confidence that I could be special in the nfl. but the numbers I was able to put up with brett, those are hard to over look. 18 tds my last season. -
John, CA,
2:45 PM ET
Why not New Orleans or Indy?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
we never get the two best teams in the biggest game. -
Justin, Waco, Texas

IS IT TRUE ELVIS WAS SEEN AT A GIANTS GAME?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
Yes, i got him tix. he wanted a box but I could not swing that. -
Phil, Milwaukee
2:46 PM ET
I'm a Raider fan( insert joke here) do you think that the Russell can turn it around with help on his mech. or is it too late and is there a Q.B. contervise brewing in Oakland tks. for your time.
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
He needs a vet qb that he can trust to tell him the truth and Russell needs to work harder in the off season. His footwork and deliveries need serious help and he needs to work on those. He can be a very good player in our league. -
ryan, houston
2:47 PM ET
trent edwards or ryan fitzpatrick the rest of the season?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
trent edwards. You need to know if he is the qb of the future or if you need to go in draft or free agency to get a franchise guy -
Jake, Green Bay, WI
2:49 PM ET
What's "the one thing" GB needs to do to "clean up" their o-line inconsistencies and penalties? Do they still run gassers in the NFL? Should the coaches run gassers too?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
Stop throwing the ball. -
Alex, PA
2:49 PM ET

Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
Reggie Wayne. Thats a period -
Gabe, Oregon,Oh

Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
Vikings when they play lesser talent teams they destroy them. -
Jermaine M., Memphis,TN.
2:50 PM ET
i have two questions: 1.Why the eagles don't run the ball enough to establish the pass? 2.I know this is a copycat league, so why don't the eagles use vick like seattle did with Senaca Wallace sunday?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
Well first andy reid the head coach is never been a big run guy. the second is when you take out the starter you affect his rythum. -
Matt, WI
2:51 PM ET
Reggie Wayne? Not even good ol Donald Driver?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
Donald is very good at what he does but the best in our league right now is reggie wayne. Thats a period -
Paul R, Monroe NC
2:52 PM ET

New orleans. both run and pass on offense and a nice defense. They have a lot of injuries on def in the secondary -
Matt, Orlando
2:52 PM ET
Why isnt Winslow getting any buzz from around the leage hes the best TE isn't he?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
We just found out where he was. He is hidding out in Tampa -
Nick, Fl
2:53 PM ET
Reggie wayne over Andre Johnson and Randy Moss?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
Complete catches the ball in his hands, Great tech when it comes to running routes. Plays in side and out. and catchs as many deep balls and both the other wr combined. -
Tim Tebow, Florida
2:54 PM ET
How will I be used when I get drafted?
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com

Brian, Grand Rapids, Mi
3:03 PM ET
What do I have to do to get a question answered on here? I have submitted several. Anyways, why is the media so down on the Colts? They are having a great year with a new coach and a lot of injuries. Peyton, Dwight, Reggie and Robert are all having an awesome year.
Sterling Sharpe, NFL.com
Because, if I could speak for all of them. The colts do the same thing every year, great reg season and fold in the playoffs. Remember your history. You also need to be a little nicer you could get more of your questions answered. We love what the colts do every year and it makes our jobs easier because there are so many angles to talk about this team. -
