Yesterday news broke that Shannon Sharpe was leaving his co-host gig at FS1’s hit tv show Undisputed, where he debates Skip Bayless daily about sports.
Skip and Shannon’s relationship has frayed over the years, as Shannon is frequently put in the uncomfortable position of defending the unorthodox, and often hateful commentary by the show’s senior host Skip Bayless.
Skip has an unusual hatred for LeBron James. And now LeBron James is finally getting his revenge against Skip.
Yesterday it was announced that Shannon would not be serving out his contract with Undisputed, and instead accepted a buyout offer with the show.
Well Media Take Out has some EXCLUSIVE tea for you guys. According to a top notch source, Shannon is in late stage negotiation to join LeBron James company Springhill Productions.
Springhill is a production, consumer product and brand consultancy company founded by LeBron James and Maverick Carter which produces shows like The Shop, and has the aim of empowering athletes by providing a platform that allows them to share their stories.
You know that Skip Bayless is going to be TIGHT when he learns what Shannon and Lebron pulled off.
Shannon is a former professional football player who was a tight end in the National Football League (NFL) for 14 seasons, primarily with the Denver Broncos. Regarded as one of the greatest tight ends of all time, he ranks third in tight end receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns. He was also the first NFL tight end to amass over 10,000 receiving yards. He is the younger brother of former wide receiver Sterling Sharpe. Between 1998 and 2000, Sharpe won 3 Super Bowls in 4 seasons.
Sharpe played college football at Savannah State and was selected by the Broncos in the seventh round of the 1990 NFL Draft. During his 12 non-consecutive seasons with Denver, he was selected to seven consecutive Pro Bowls and four first-team All-Pros, and won two consecutive Super Bowl titles. In between his Broncos tenures, Sharpe was a member of Baltimore Ravens for two seasons, with whom he received an eighth Pro Bowl selection and won a third Super Bowl title. Sharpe retired as the NFL leader in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns by a tight end. Following his retirement, Sharpe appeared as an analyst for The NFL Today on CBS Sports and co-hosts Skip and Shannon: Undisputed on Fox Sports 1 with Skip Bayless since 2016. He was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2011.
