Shannon Sharpe goes off on Tom Brady, Patriots fans after Broncos win
Shannon Sharpe was thrilled after the Broncos put an end to the Patriots’ undefeated season Sunday night, and the Hall of Famer was anything but shy about it.
Before the game, Tom Brady had some fun with his opponent by posting a photoshop on Facebook that depicted him riding a bronco. After C.J. Anderson scored a game-winning touchdown in OT, Sharpe took aim at Brady.
I guess Brady couldn't ride Thunder after all.Don't post that lame Facebook post. Take that horse kick in the butt back to Foxboro. win

The former Broncos tight end was just getting started. Sharpe then spent at least an hour sparring with Patriots fans on Twitter. He even continued the tolling on Monday morning.
I love this one. "@Gyeezy_: @ShannonSharpe pic.twitter.com/NyCxVWXWMg"

While we certainly enjoyed Sharpe’s childish chest beating, the photo Brady posted wasn’t really trolling. He has said in the past that he doesn’t control his own Facebook page, and the person who does control it has a history of posting some pretty funny stuff. In fact, we saw the exact same meme last season before the Patriots played the Colts in the playoffs.
Of course, it always looks better when you come away with a victory.
