Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless spent a few hours each week day<\/a> together the last few years. It definitely was a relationship, albeit a dysfunctional one with lots of arguing. Bayless recently referred to them as \u201ckind of a married couple.\u201d<\/p>\n

And this kind of a marriage ended with a separation this past Tuesday as Shannon Sharpe bid farewell<\/a> to Skip Bayless and Undisputed<\/em>, the sports chat show on FS1. Sharpe, the Hall of Famer, says he doesn\u2019t have another gig lined up. It was just time to split up with Bayless<\/a> (in keeping the marriage analogy going).<\/p>\n

In saying farewell, a weapy Sharpe said:<\/a> \u201cSkip Bayless, you fought for me, bro. I\u2019m here because of you. You allowed me to share the stage with you. You allowed me to share the platform. I\u2019m gonna cry in the car, but I\u2019m not gonna cry now. The opportunity that you gave me to become what I became, I\u2019m forever indebted to you, I\u2019ll never forget what you did for me. You helped me grow, more than you\u2019ll ever know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Skip Bayless talked more about Shannon Sharpe in his podcast. Of course, he had to loop in LeBron James. That\u2019s when he also mentioned marriage and how Sharpe doesn\u2019t \u201cbleed metallic blue.\u201d<\/p>\n

First, Bayless was serious in some of his remarks. \u201cIn a way, Shannon and I were kind of a married couple on TV. I did not watch a single game of any sport in any magnitude for seven years without thinking about what Shannon was thinking about the outcome of said game and how that outcome would impact tomorrow\u2019s\u00a0Undisputed<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then Bayless went with silly elbows. \u201cThe biggest advantage Shannon brought to FS1 and to\u00a0Undisputed<\/em>\u00a0was he truly, genuinely, authentically loves LeBron James. He honestly and completely and wholeheartedly believes LeBron is the GOAT, eclipsing even Michael Jordan. That of course is insane. LeBron is obviously nothing more than the phony GOAT. But, because Shannon so believed that LeBron was the best ever, he and I had TV gold.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, Bayless leaned into his own love for the Dallas Cowboys.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy other advantage with Shannon was that like most people who don\u2019t bleed metallic blue as I do, he absolutely despises all things Dallas Cowboys,\u201d Bayless said. \u201cOnce again, we had an extremely natural disagreement\u2026I have no objectivity and sometimes no sense when it comes to my Dallas Cowboys\u2026I\u2019m going to miss my Cowboys displays with Shannon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yep, it does sound like a marriage on the decline, but one with a no-fault divorce. <\/p>\n
