Shannon Sharpe, the former NFL star who co-hosted “Skip and Shannon: Undisputed” on Fox Sports 1 with Skip Bayless since 2016, announced his departure from the show on Tuesday.
Sharpe’s possible departure became a topic of discussion on social media after Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field during an early January game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Before the game was canceled, Bayless said on Twitter, “No doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game — but how? This late in the season, a game of this magnitude is crucial to the regular season outcome … which suddenly seems so irrelevant.
”Sharpe did not appear on air the following morning and when he returned a day later, he publicly disagreed with Bayless’s tweet and said he hoped his co-host would delete the post. Bayless interrupted Sharpe to say he stood by his tweet, producing a tense exchange where Sharpe said “I can’t even get through a monologue without you interrupting me.”“Skip Bayless. You fought for me, bruh,” Sharpe said. “I’m here because of you. You’ve allowed me to share the stage with you.
