Prominent radio host Dan Le Batard had some eye-popping thoughts on the new format for FS1’s Undisputed.
Le Batard, who overlapped at ESPN with Undisputed star Skip Bayless, believes that the show’s new look, with former NFL stars Richard Sherman, Keyshawn Johnson and Michael Irvin could box out Bayless from the spotlight. The take comes just days after the show’s debut episode produced some chaotic moments, with Bayless reduced to little more than a moderator as Sherman, Johnson and Irvin sparred in debate.
“They’re going to take your show,” Le Batard said Tuesday, via Awful Announcing. “And that’s not a terrible way to evolve at 70 if he’s willing to be the joke, if he’s willing to not take himself seriously and just allow the floor to a bunch of people who are really good at television.”
