In the realm of sports discourse, Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe reign as illustrious figures, jointly gracing the screens of avid viewers in their capacity as co-hosts on the revered Fox Sports talk show known as “Undisputed.” Often times things get heated while discussing certain topics; however, it’s never escalated to the point it did yesterday evening.
In the aftermath of a profoundly underwhelming performance by none other than Tom Brady and his esteemed Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the formidable San Francisco 49ers, it was only natural that the ensuing day witnessed an extensive deliberation of the match by both knowledgeable co-hosts.
However, things quickly became personal between the two that appeared to be stirred by Bayless. Often, Sharpe takes the opposing side of Brady, due to Bayless’s infatuation with Brady.
Yet, this time Bayless began to attempt to compare careers between Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe and Future hall of Famer Tom Brady. Naturally, this didn’t sit well with Sharpe and he confronted Bayless about his words.

For a moment, many began to believe the altercation could have possibly begun to get physical. However, due to Sharpe using his restraint, things didn’t escalate further. While many would agree, neither all small men, there is still a huge size difference between the two. This may not have gone Bayless’s way if this altercation began to get physical.
Sharpe’s legacy is undoubtedly cemented as one of the greatest TEs to ever play the game. In his 14-year career, he recorded eight-time Pro Bowl selections, four-time All-Pro, and three-time Super Bowl champion. In the year 2011, he was honored with induction into the prestigious Pro Football Hall of Fame. Sharpe played for the Denver Broncos for 12 years and did two years with the Baltimore Ravens.
