Brandon Browner rips Shannon Sharpe: ‘It’s easy to talk with fake teeth’
New Orleans Saints cornerback Brandon Browner had another miserable game on Sunday, and Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe let him hear about it.
Browner racked up three penalties in the first three quarters of his team’s loss to the Carolina Panthers. He also got burned by Devin Funchess on a touchdown and contributed to a busted coverage when Ted Ginn Jr. scored later in the game. Browner’s poor play inspired Sharpe to criticize him on Twitter.
Saints should release B. Browner. He's not worth the distraction as sub par CB .

Watching B. Browner of Saints cover today. I'm convinced He couldn't cover a twin bed with a king sheet.

Browner has had a league-leading 21 penalties called against him this season. He has been arguably the worst cornerback in the NFL, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to sit quietly while an analyst calls for him to lose his job.

You shouldn't throw stones when you live in a glass house.

Sharpe, who has never been one to back down from a verbal sparring match, tried to ignore Browner at first but couldn’t help himself.

If you heard what Sharpe said about Tom Brady and Patriots fans last week, you shouldn’t be surprised that he took aim at Browner.
Criticizing Browner right now is like shooting fish in a barrel. Not only has he been horrible in coverage, but he also got into it with a coach on the sideline Sunday (video here) and went off on a reporter last month. Sharpe should be the least of Browner’s concerns at the moment.
