Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe relationship at "all-time low" following distasteful Damar Hamlin tweet - Reports
Fox Sports' Undisputed's Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless' relationship is, according to reports, at an all-time low. Now, given that nothing for certain is known, we can likely take it with a grain of salt.
However, there are some key markers that indicate that there could potentially be trouble between the two. After last night's horror incident involving Damar Hamlin, Sharpe was a glaring omission from Undisputed's show today.
Fancy a bet on the Super Bowl?
Now, no one knows if the Hall of Fame tight end skipped work out of respect for Hamlin, or if he sent a message to Bayless over his tweet that sparked outrage across the planet.
Still, there is growing speculation that Sharpe skipped the show as a protest against Bayless' tweet in which he said:
“No doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game – but how?” Skip tweeted. “This late in the season, a game of this magnitude is crucial to the regular season outcome…which suddenly seems so irrelevant.”
No 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.
A source told Front Office Sports that Sharpe's relationship with Bayless is now at an all-time low after the Hamlin tweet. But over the last few months, there have been signs that all might not be well with the pair.
The most glaring one is when Skip personally attacked Sharpe after he stated that Tom Brady played bad. To this, Bayless essentially stated that Brady was better than Sharpe in a very personal tirade.
What comes next for Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless?
As stated above, there is no clarification as to exactly why Sharpe skipped Undisputed today. But if the reports are to be believed, that was to do with the tweet from Skip Bayless, then exactly what happens from here is anyone's guess.
There have been calls for Fox Sports to fire Skip Bayless over his tweet from several high-profile people, including former NFL players.
Whether that happens or not is unknown, but given it hasn't happened already, then it likely won't.
Many will be tuning into Undisputed tomorrow to see if Sharpe makes an appearance and if he does, exactly what the mood will be like with Skip.
