By | Bullscore 2 Jun, 2023

Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless were having some issues with each other for some time now, but no one anticipated for them to part ways. Sharpe decided to leave Bayless and his co-hosting gig at ‘Undisputed’ this week. This decision shocked the entire sports media world and many were upset with this him.

Many of us thought that the duo had resolved their differences after their highly publicized disagreement involving Damar Hamlin. But now it seems that didn’t happen after all.

It was also made public that Sharpe is not just leaving the podcast but he’s also taking his extremely popular “Club Shay Shay” podcast off Fox Sports.

Many peoples are wondering about the cause of this split. Why are Sharpe and Bayless suddenly breaking up?

Furthermore, Sharpe has a well-known ongoing conflict with one of the top NBA players in the world. How will all of this affect how rival sports networks perceive him? Only time will tell.

As for Bayless, it remains uncertain whether this situation will turn out to be advantageous or detrimental for him. As evidenced by his recent viral photo, he doesn’t rely on anyone else to stay relevant. He excels at making headlines, for better or worse.

It doesn’t matter who sits opposite to him. He will always be seen as secondary to his primary presence, regardless of the personality involved. There’s a reason why Stephen A. Smith’s career was revitalized by Bayless and not the other way around.

From a broader perspective, it will be fascinating to see who Fox Sports ultimately chooses to take Sharpe’splace. Whoever that may be, they must be prepared to endure the challenges that come with being Bayless’ debate partner. Sharpe may have been okay with it at one point, but evidently, something changed along the way.
