      He showed his true colors when Jeremy Lin came around. He admitted that he is only for empowering black folks and doesn't give a d*mn about other folks whether white or other minorities that don't have nearly as much of a voice REGARDLESS of talent. He's a mirror image of the thing he's fighting. That hypocrisy is where it gets sad. I used to like him. Even got on one of his shows as an audience member in NYC after work waay back in 2005/06 or so. It wasn't until Linsanity that I understood what he stood for. Narrow minded bs. What he doesn't understand is yes, you absolutely back the folks in black communities and talent. But you can also back those that don't have a voice from other communities as well... And there's no reason to crush those with talent and charisma who bring in strong ratings. That's just being bitter. A bad sport. Little. That's when I lost respect for him.

      Now, what do you know about running a multi million or billion dollar business? shannon is not a star so stop it!
      Shannon is entertaining to the black community but that is not the target audience for 90% 0f advertising so you might want to learn or educate yourself about business and I bet fs1 will be just fine with whatever they do. Shannon is sharing rotations with a host of people which means he too a pay cut and will never be a daily personnel.

      the real truth is, as shannon himself admits, without Skip and Undisputed Shannon would still be unknown to all non-sports fans. Think about it for a minute, we're all sports fan, especially football, so of course we know Shannon Sharpe. But outside of football he had no presence so the average person had no chance of knowing him. Skip has been a name synonymous with sports media for nearly 3 decades. He gave Shannon the biggest platform in the game to become a household name and star. Shannon said he was so unknown outside of football, that even the younger generations of casual fans had no idea who he was because until recently tight ends werent as famous as start receivers and quarterbacks. Skip is a fool but Shannon is the first to praise him every time for giving him his current career by demanding Shannon when the executives didnt want him.

Also in the event someone let him go, he would be fine because he was on fire at the time. I guess fox didn't see it that way. They should have found a way to keep Shannon.

      Undisputed is good with or without him. Shannon is clearly an over emotional person just look at how behaved at the Lakers game against Grizzlies. A 50+ year old man trying to fight NBA players over some nonsense. He was let go from CBS because of his behavior behind the scenes. Right before Skip hired him he was nowhere near as desirable to work with before Skip gave him the opportunity. These dude's are too old to be rehashing this this so publicly. Shannon's with ESPN working 2 days a week move on. And Steven A is doing nothing but instigating a situation for nothing but views and clicks. Undisputed is arguably better without Shannon I'm loving the new format and I focks hard with Skip. As does most if his fan base that let First take specifically for him, no one knew what Shannon was going to bring to the table. He was an added bonus but he most definitely wasn't the reason we all made the switch.

      @@vanderdias6617 false. Skip Bayless only said that the incident wasn't his fault. Not that Stephen A was responsible. Then Skip ended up having to out the guy whose fault it was to clear the air since Stephen A pur words into Skip's mouth

    Y’all weird in the comments! They’re speaking on the issue because Shannon never really spoke on it and if he did, it wasn’t in depth. SAS will ask the questions people want to know

    It sounds like FS1 initiated letting Sharpe go and that’s ridiculous. Their loss.

    why is Stephen A. Smith bringing up all of these old beefs. First Max and now this.

      Joe Budden asked him about Max and this is his first interview with Shannon on his platform. Any other questions?

    Im hoping this is the last time SA or Unc speaks on Skip or this past stuff. Unc & Skip have moved on . This ish getting tired & kudos's to SA for getting Unc another chance. I'm glad Skip hired Mike Irvin, Sherm, and Keyshawn when they were let go..for whatever reason Skip hired them. Glad to see brothers employed and not here for the drama.

    Shannon wanted the same pay as Skip Bayless, even though it's not his show. He forgot to mention that.

      I do think that's a lot to do with it. Shannon mentioned on air how he never got to pick the topics. I do remember skip saying he could pick the topics if he submitted them early enough
