Shannon Sharpe first got the job on Undisputed seven years ago and has since then earned quite the following in the sports media world.
He did a great job bantering with Bayless, but Sharpe is ready to move on to bigger and better things.
Despite his emotional farewell, sports fans just aren’t entirely sure how to react. Many question if this whole scene is even real or not.
Is this real??

On the other hand, it is cool to see that these two have mutual respect for one another.
It’s very nice to see legitimate respect for each other and the behind the scenes feelings between these two. https://t.co/go1R8I9Orb

As of now, it’s not entirely clear what Shannon Sharpe or Skip Bayless are going to do next.
Sharpe has hinted at a new show, but nobody is sure what it’s about. Meanwhile, it sounds like Bayless will remain on Undisputed and work alongside a new co-host.
Congratulations to Sharpe though, as his media career is just getting started.
