Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless' damaged relationship comes to light While Fox Sports has so far not commented on Sharpe’s departure, he has reportedly not been on good terms with Bayless ever since Damar Hamlin’s infamous cardiac arrest during the Buffalo Bills’ Monday Night Football game against the Cincinnati Bengals. In the aftermath of the incident, Bayless posted a tweet, which earned him severe condemnation from everyone: Skip Bayless@RealSkipBaylessNo 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.436924157No 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 skipped the following day’s episode, and when he returned, he and Bayless argued over the tweet. Sharpe said: “I cannot even get through a monologue without you interrupting me. I was just going to say, Skip, I didn’t want to yesterday, to get into a situation where Damar Hamlin was the issue. We should’ve been talking about him and not get into your tweet. That’s what I was going to do. But you can’t even let me finish my opening monologue without you interrupting.”Bayless responded: “I was under the impression that you weren’t going to bring this up, because nobody here had a problem with that tweet.”Notably, Bayless did later apologize in a follow-up tweet: Skip Bayless@RealSkipBaylessNothing is more important than that young man's health. That was the point of my last tweet. I'm sorry if that was misunderstood but his health is all that matters. Again, everything else is irrelevant. I prayed for him & will continue to.759693564Nothing is more important than that young man's health. That was the point of my last tweet. I'm sorry if that was misunderstood but his health is all that matters. Again, everything else is irrelevant. I prayed for him & will continue to.However, even after the apology, the relationship between the two was still tumultuous at best, given Sharpe’s closeness to NBA superstar LeBron James, whom Bayless has been a notorious critic of. What other media roles did Shannon Sharpe have before and besides 'Undisputed'? After he retired from professional football at the end of the 2003 season, Sharpe joined CBS Sports as a desk analyst, appearing in pre-game, half-time, and postgame shows. He lasted until 2014 when he was part of an organizational reshuffle that relieved him of his duties. SiriusXM At Super Bowl LIV - Day 1He also became a social media staple by that point, famous for his boisterous personality and hot takes. This all led to 'Undisputed', and eventually his own podcast, 'Club Shay Shay', which premiered in 2020. As part of his buyout, the podcast is also reportedly leaving the Fox Sports fold.
