Some speculated Shannon could've simply had the day off, but our sources tell us that's not the case -- this was a direct reaction to Bayless' tweet.
A few minutes into the show, Skip seemingly tried to clear the air without directly addressing the reason behind Shannon's absence, saying,"Obviously, my partner, Shannon Sharpe, is not here today. I look forward to seeing him tomorrow." Bayless also started the show telling the audience he was going to approach the show as he would any other weekday ... though he wasn't sure if he'd be able to get through the emotional topic.
"I apologize for what we've set out to do if it offends anyone because we're going to try to do the show pretty much as we usually do the show but I'll admit upfront, I'm still shook up by what happened last night to Damar Hamlin." Skip continued ..."In fact, I'm still wrecked. In fact, I'm not sure I'm capable of doing this show today but after barely sleeping on it, I decided to give it a try. Maybe I'll fail, maybe we will fail but we're going to try."
That show is a soap opera for a bunch of snowflakes anyway. Who cares. This isn't actual news. Which makes sense because TMZzzzz is reporting it. 😂😂😂
What do you expect from either? To have the masses arguing about dumb stuff 'not that, that poor young man is dumb' but them two yes they are... smh
RealSkipBayless is the “Undisputed” Don Imus of sports television. He needs to go sooner rather than later.
Get fired and go broke
So you know, real fans of the show knows that he is gone due to the birth of his first grandchild.
It’s been time for shannonsharp to break free from that goof by the name of Skip
He’ll be there tomorrow
It’s only controversial to those who can’t read or have any comprehension past a 3rd grade level.
So this a racist thing now? Dude got smacked because he was Hard as nails. Just part of the game and that’s why these gladiators get payed millions.
Skip gets away with a lot of shit but everyone has a breaking point and a line that shouldn’t be crossed. Props to Shannon.
Shannon is becoming a cry baby.
Sharpe needs to be fired…period
Sharpe is just a loud mouth. All this makes me just want to go back to not watching football anymore
Skip, it all adds up.
Skip should get a job with TMZ.. Cut from the same cloth, literally!!!!
Let me guess….he called the white guy a racist. I don’t even have to read it. I already know the outcome
I knew what Skip meant, he could have worded it different instead of being drama about it. No need for drama like that when we are all in state of real worry for something we witnessed and praying for a young man. Prayers to Damar and his family! 🙏
Skip is trash…always has been always will be trash.
Any prove of that ? I think Shannon was just to emotional to talk about meaningless topics today, I doubt he ghosted Skip( although I wouldn't blame him for doing so)
What a silly freaking reaction
ShannonSharpe reading comprehension is hard
CANCEL RealSkipBayless !!!!! THIS MAN HAS TO GO !!!!
Oh ok. So y’all don’t know either. Got it 💪🏽👊🏽
Shannon Sharpe once again playing up the grandstanding antics. Bayless said that really important game “suddenly seems so insignificant” and people want to read into it and spread their own negativity. Cancel culture at its finest
Skip didn’t say anything controversial.If your reading comprehension is above a third grade level his point was clear & obvious.He was implying that a gm of such magnitude & importance felt insignificant now… apparently Shannon & other pro athletes can’t read🤷♂️🤦♂️
MilagroGramz__ Skip said nothing wrong. The show must go on
MilagroGramz__ skipp a L for this
That’s not why he skipped but ok
Skip was saying what everyone was thinking two days to early
MilagroGramz__ Shannon and skip are perfect for each other lol
undisputed is clickbait at its worse.
Skip needs to be fired. He is a pathetic human being, and yet, they still allow him to be unprofessional and disrespectful to anyone but himself. I will never watch that show, and everyone should stop watching until he is fired.
Shannon Sharpe Should have gone in like this
What he said wasn’t that bad. Maybe could have just framed it better
