The Fox Sports show Undisputed is one of the most popular basketball analysis shows, with Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe being an elite entertainment duo. However, it seems as though Undisputed as we know it right now will be coming to an end.
A recent report from Ryan Glasspiegel of the New York Post revealed that Shannon Sharpe and Fox Sports have agreed to a buyout that will end his partnership with Skip Bayless. Supposedly, one of the factors that influenced Shannon Sharpe’s departure was his friendship with LeBron James, who Skip Bayless isn’t the biggest fan of.
“Sharpe and Fox Sports, the parent company of FS1, which airs “Undisputed,” have reached a buyout agreement, sources tell The Post.”
“Sharpe’s final show is expected to be after the 2023 NBA Finals conclude in June.”
“Sharpe’s popular “Club Shay Shay” podcast, which draws a big audience on social media and YouTube, will also be leaving Fox Sports, a source said.”
“Another element that seemed to bleed over between the two was that Sharpe is close with LeBron James, whose performance Bayless has been a hard grader of over the years.”
There’s no doubt that this is a shocking announcement, and it’ll be interesting to see what is next for Shannon Sharpe in his media career. Due to his popularity, it is quite likely that another network will pick him up, and we’ll see what ends up happening in the future.
