You won’t find Steak Shapiro shedding a tear, happy or sad, over Shannon Sharpe’s last day on FS1’s Undisputed. He did not mince words on Wednesday when discussing Tuesday’s episode of the show.
“‘A grand tradition in the history of sports casting and sports television said no one about Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe on Undisputed,’ the host of The Steakhouse on 92.9 the Game in Atlanta said. “Nice show, I guess, for FS1. Shannon Sharpe is leaving, okay, after seven years. Let’s not pretend this is some, you know, amazing moment.”
He also took exception to Bayless saying that he and Sharpe proved critics wrong with the success of their show. Shapiro said if that were true, he would know where to find it.
“You don’t even register. I don’t even know where FS1 is except for the Major League playoffs.”
Co-host Rusty Mansell agreed. He said that in a world crowded with debate shows, Undisputed rarely gets his attention.
“When do they move the needle?” Shapiro asked facetiously. “You know when they move the needle? When Skip Bayless says something really, really offensive and almost gets canceled.”
Questions surround the future of Undisputed. The show is expected to continue, but FS1 has not settled on a new permanent opponent for Skip Bayless.
