Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless are parting ways.

Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless have been a dynamic duo since 2016. In September of this year, it would have been seven years since they formed the show Undisputed. However, it doesn't seem like they are going to get that far. Last night, it was revealed that Sharpe's contract with FS1 was being bought out, largely by his request. Subsequently, he is set to embark on his own projects, such as Club Shay Shay. Overall, this news came as a bit of a shock, but for those who pay attention, the writing was on the wall.

Sharpe infamously got into a fight with Skip Bayless over Tom Brady. Skip was extremely disrespectful and some felt like Sharpe needed to take action. Moreover, things got infinitely worse when Skip made that tweet about Damar Hamlin. Things continued to spiral, and although Shannon Sharpe stuck around, it was clear that perhaps a change was needed. Now, Sharpe is leaving the show for good, and he is even liking tweets that theorize why he left.

Shannon Sharpe Co-Signs This Tweet

"Their relationship got progressively worse over the last 2 maybe 3 years because skip fought for him to be on that show but I feel like skip couldn't stand Shannon succeeding without and that's when skip was taking pot shots on air," the Twitter user wrote. Of course, fans immediately clocked that Sharpe had liked the tweet. Although, it is unknown whether or not this is truly the case or Shannon is just letting the emotions get the best of him. Either way, Skip Bayless needs to go out and find a new partner.

It is believed that Sharpe will do the show through the NBA Finals. Once those are over, he will quietly exit the show. Needless to say, this is all happening very fast, and Undisputed viewers are likely to make a grand exodus. Skip Bayless has yet to react to the news. Let us know what you think of all this, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world. We will always keep you informed.
