Shannon sharp is potentially on the Move.

Now we will miss Shannon sharp, with Skip Bayless.

Okay, all of us will sure no I'm fine.

What do you mean I'm saying I won't miss it skipping Shannon Bingo, which is why what about Shannon Bingo, another [, __ ], no sending is my dude but like I, won't miss skip bro like I talk to [ __ ], but, like there's, been a lot of people that have kind of uh come to that same conclusion, where they're, like hey Skip, has had a really long run.

You know, I, don't know if anybody said this.

An incredible run, great run change, Sports, media forever, skipped it actually and I think he probably understands that and knows that, but a lot of people think at this stage of the game, with how great Shannon was on that particular program, which is why I will miss it because watching skip get a chance with Shannon, like that's good, Shannon's great.

So it's like a good adversary partner work which we didn't know what it was.

A lot of people were saying the skip.

Might you know this might be the uh fade off.

I would never say that never say that people are saying that they're saying that, though, and I don't think they understand the power of Skip Bayless.

Yes, I, don't think he understands.

Skip Bayless will find a way.

Yeah I mean Skip.

Bayless will find his cheese.

Well, he will continue to do his thing, but Shannon being available is a that's a narrative, shifter yeah, that's a potential massive asset to a platform that maybe wants to launch which uh I as experiencing the space a little bit from a business standpoint a few months back, there's a lot of places that are trying to get into the sports media world.

There's a lot of places that are trying to launch their thing, who have rights to stuff either in the future or planning on getting rights, but a lot of money behind them.

A lot a lot of money behind them.

So it's like Shannon is going to be in a really good spot here.

I think yeah and I hope to hell.

He comes to ESPN and when I say, come to ESPN we're not even out of here no but we're going to be there and if Shannon sharp is to be there- and you start talking about like what a day could look like.

That's [, __, ], awesome and I am very excited about it.

You know I would imagine.

Shannon already has some things in the works because he sounds like he stepped away on his own.

He reached an agreement right like a mutual agreement, ways buyout so buyout man, so that I want to see these episodes.

Now, though, how many episodes they have together? Knowing that he's got they were on today, yeah, it seems like that they might have worked themselves into a shoe brother yeah through the finals.

So probably like two or three weeks, it really just depends on how the series goes.

What was the Tipping be able to do it anymore? I'm gonna talk, but it could directly affect our lives, which I hope happens, Shannon's a weapon.

Yes, a real talent and we're happy for him.

Good luck out.

There go get him Shannon.

Good luck out.

There got a podcast, too I think Club.

You don't think that thing is massive.

Who takes his spot, though, who takes that spot? Thank you! Oh oh no I chose going in there.

It's going to be one of those, probably it's probably what if it's Shady could be, could be Shady, oh, so we're slavsky could be.

They could do revolving like uh First, Take uh for a while they will, until they figure it out, I.

Think personally, um Shannon could probably do something similar.

You know that Stephen A has going on yeah and just kind of like hey, who wants to come in and get what at what time you know what I mean, and let's just kind of do that thing.

I think that would be a successful show.

I think the clips out of that show yeah yeah absurd.

The moments would be massive and adding Shannon is just like such a weapon.

Hall of Fame I mean every everything about him.

It's just yes, yeah there's been some things.

I think people would really go to, but who doesn't have some things exactly they'll, never they'll! Never do it because he's already got his own show in his position, but Cowherd V skip would be two guys who just will not relent are right about everything.

Don't want to hear what anyone else has to say like that could be pretty good.

That would be like a fox Super Bowl every day it would be.

They should do that holy hell because they already got Colin desk is already ready.

Yeah, you just add skips on that other side, and then you put I mean you put a scoreboard, maybe exactly yeah.

You know what I mean you should just let them yell until they're, both blue in the face and they pass out and then that's how long the show is exactly some days might be an hour and a half who knows what's going on the night before and how passionate they are about the subjects some days eight hours Bingo.

Did you hear about skipping Colin? No two days bring up Jordan LeBron again round seven ding.

That would be amazing.

That would be two OG's there yeah, but but you have to wonder why they would let Shannon out of there and why Shannon want it out of there.

Yeah I mean that's a big deal.

It's a big gig, a high paying gig.

That's very important like for the whole media world, for him to walk away.

He must have really hated man.

Y'all y'all know all the stuff that happened between them.

You gotta, like yeah, the [ __ ] that he put out like even with um.

He was really upset and [ __ ] out.

All the players was really upset certain [ __ ], you just don't touch bro, that was kids.

Women.

Safety of human beings are off limits when it comes to stuff like that yep I, concur, I mean that was certainly I mean it got like uh.

The whole world saw it yeah and he didn't take it back.

The whole world tells you like: hey bro, you know can't do this.

You said a lot of things.

We've heard you say a lot of things, LeBron's better the best, but we get it.

We leave this one needs you to yeah life and death, this one's just like super serious like not now you know he's like okay.

Well, what do you want me to do? Wait a week, I think I think it's one of you, yeah I, think that's what he kind of said in the his response was, but that's why Skip Bayless he's Skip Bayless, you know and anytime Shane and him were there.

It didn't feel like Shannon was ever gonna punch him in the face he didn't feel like there was ever like a a disrespect.

It felt like it was always a work which was kind of a part of the whole thing right.

That's why, whenever it came out of nowhere I think a lot of us were surprising.

Oh whoa, whoa whoa, when, like two weeks it is he's out of there and uh.

Obviously, I'm excited to see his next chapter, but I yeah I thought to your point.

I thought it was a work.

I didn't know it was uh.

There was actual attention.

I feel like, there was some recently um where where like skip was talking about like his, playing, career and stuff like that and taking shots like that which seems like a month month ago right.

Oh I didn't hear this yeah but again Taylor skip about man that must have been around right around one of my bed.

The baby was born, but I assume like Shannon knows that kind.

You know like him and Skip aren't buddy buddy I, think one of the reasons he loved doing that show is because he loved dunking on Skip.

It's like hey, like I'm I'll, go toe-to-toe with this guy and I'll.

You know like I guess this stuff had probably been festering for a while, but like I was yesterday when we saw this like genuinely shocked yeah, it's like holy [, __ ] I cannot believe that, because I mean everyone like Skip's kind of a piss ant, that's the role he plays that's what he does like? And Shannon knows that so I, don't know it's tough to believe that he ever took something so personal where he'd be like [ __ ], it I.

Don't want to do this anymore, well, I wore him down had to wear him down like every day.

Like there's more just unhappy.

Imagine people outside he probably had his buddies and people every time he saw someone else.

They're like hey man, you're gonna, you're gonna, put skip in this place, like people probably didn't, really understand what kind of gimmick they may have had if they were whatever they're doing arguing but yeah I, don't know he had to be warned out to leave that gig he's gonna be pretty upset at a certain point.

Is cool with us debating, but when you argue with a [, __ ] and don't enjoy going to work, that is a problem.

Yeah I enjoy foreign.
