Shannon Sharpe’s partnership with Skip Bayless on FS1’s Undisputed provided countless legendary moments, memes, and water cooler conversations. But alas, that era has come to an end.
FS1 announced yesterday that Sharpe’s time on the show will be coming to an end soon, following the two sides’ agreement on a buyout. Many speculate that the crux of the fracture between Sharpe and Bayless happened during the last NFL season.
