During his playing career, Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman made quite the name for himself being one of the loudest voices in the NFL. Many suspected such a rhapsodic personality was destined for a media gig when he eventually hung up his cleats.
Those predictions have proven correct, as Sherman became a Thursday Night Football analyst for Amazon during the 2022 season. However, Sherman’s foray into television could become far more prominent.
On Thursday (interestingly enough) Andrew Marchand of the New York Post reported about Sherman’s rising candidacy to replace Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe on FS1’s Undisputed. This of course would make Sherman co-hosts with the equally bombastic Skip Bayless.
BREAKING: Future #NFL Hall of Famer Richard Sherman is a candidate to be Skip Bayless' new partner on FS1's Undisputed, per @AndrewMarchand of the @nypost.

Bayless and Sherman met yesterday at The Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, per the report.

Of course, what the tweet above is referring to is a legendary exchange between Sherman and Bayless on ESPN’s First Take program. In 2013, when Bayless was still apart of ESPN, Sherman appeared on the show and the two certainly did not exactly see eye to eye.
“In my 24 years of life, I'm better at life than you”
Remember when Richard Sherman absolutely ROASTED Skip Bayless on First Take, and NOW they may be PARTNERS

Whether or not Sherman actually joins Undisputed remains to be seen. But if the former All-Pro Stanford Graduate does become the next co-host, it will be the definition of must-see television.
