Shannon Sharpe’s reported move to ESPN’s First Take had fans ready for wild debates with Stephen A. Smith

It looks like two of sports media’s major personalities are going to be teaming up on television’s flagship sports debate show.

The New York Post reported on Thursday that NFL veteran and former Undisputed co-host Shannon Sharpe will begin appearing alongside Stephen A. Smith on ESPN’s First Take two days a week.

The Post shared that Sharpe will reportedly join Smith on Mondays and Tuesdays, which sets the duo up to discuss plenty about the NFL week that was.

The two have already given hints that they were interested in linking up on-air, and it looks like those hopes will turn into broadcast realities.

Sharpe will now go from debating Skip Bayless to Smith on whatever is going on in the sports world that day.

Sports fans are very intrigued by this pairing.
