As Shannon Sharpe continues his transition to ESPN’s First Take with Stephen A. Smith, the former NFL star discussed his relationship with his former Undisputed co-host Skip Bayless in an eye-opening episode of The Stephen A. Smith Show.
Smith recalled the moment that Sharpe and the longtime sports personality entered a heated debate about a poor performance from Tom Brady in December. At the time, Sharpe felt Bayless took a personal jab at him when he stated during a segment that Brady was still playing at a high level at 45, while the three-time Super Bowl champion’s career ended at 35.
Sharpe, the newest addition to First Take, said he felt disrespected and that it took everything in him to not go to blows with Bayless.
