Which episode was this? :mjgrin:
I need to go back and find it. I can’t remember if it was one of his first podcast episodes or if it was an interview he did on someone else’s show but it was awhile ago. He said Skip is very to himself in his personal life so they have never even once hung out/gone to dinner outside of work. He said during commercial breaks they don’t talk bc they are in their zones and they want to keep it competitive.

I'll always support Shannon. But Skip has seemed more miserable than ever. Honestly, I think Skip is jealous and intimidated of what Shannon has ascended to. Especially since Unc has been branching out with his podcast and Cognac. Skip is one of those types that if you're not like him where his whole existence is about sports, he just won't respect you. And Shannon is like hell nah. Imma have me a life.

If Shannon wants to leave: fine. I'll wholeheartedly support him. But for y'all to think it's that easy. Please! As much cache Unc has, do you think Fox or any other networks are going to give him his own show or another platform that gives him as much exposure as Undisputed? I doubt it.

Shannon is needed as he is a critical voice especially in the black community when it comes to sports. I haven't watched today's episode nor will I care to, but Shannon doesn't need to elaborate into details about his absence yesterday.

Their professional relationship is very fractured. I wouldn't be surprised if Shannon left before the year is up. The tension is real and those rumors that came out yesterday that Shannon was pissed at Skip bc of the tweet and decided not to come in look to be true. Shannon was sneaky bringing that up but something tells me a lot of athletes reached out to Shannon and asked him not to go in yesterday and Shannon was showing solidarity with them in bringing up the tweet.

It's sad because Undisputed is my favorite sports show, and I primarily tune in to hear Shannon's opinion on football. But this show doesn't have the same energy and charisma that it did when Jenny Taft was on the show, and now with these two at odds it feels like we are seeing the beginning of the end. Skip destroyed this show with his ego.

Agreed. I recall Skip & Jenny having a little tiff on air. After she had that baby, I guess she was like FTS. :yeshrug:

The funny thing about the reaction to that opening is that Shannon is smiling and joking with him on other topics. I don’t think he has any plans on leaving
People only paid attention the beginning of the show and haven't watched the rest of it since.

The beef/tension right now between the two is absolutely real. But I personally don’t feel any way for Shannon because Shannon helped build Skip to what Skip is now. He’s play the TV/entertainment game and showed out for the cameras to help their show for years now.

It’s like going to work for Donald Trump in 2023 and then finally having enough of him. Ok? I’m suppose to feel empathy for you? You knew who Trump was. We’ve known who Skip is for over a decade now.

Now Shannon has every right to feel a type of way, I’m not saying he doesn’t. He absolutely can and should feel a way about Skip letting their personas carry over into sensitive topics. But again, Shannon played his part in building this monster.

And I can’t stress enough with how ruthless these TV execs and producers are. With even how serious and sad this Hamlin story is, executives (and Skip) get so deep into the game that even with how bad things appear to be between the hosts, they are loving the engagement and views it is getting them. Even with all the “outrage”.

Shannon can leave the show one day, folks will continue to cry about Skip like they have for years now and you know what will happen? They’ll find another host to banter with Skip daily, another reporter to mod the show so she can get her big break, fans and athletes will continue to watch daily or check social media for clips, engage with the show, and complain about Skip more. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Hell Brady will be with FOX soon and will be doing segments with Skip in a few years that everyone will be tuned into. All this drama and outrage means not shyt to anyone at the end of the day, they all gonna be richer and more prominent for it.
Dawg stop. Shannon didn't make Skip, Skip made Skip.

In the sports world Skip was already notoriously know for his two books he made about the Dallas Cowboys
of course Skip made First Take into what it is toady lets not forget First Take was a sports talk show called Cold Pizza
people cared more about the ''First Take'' segments on Cold Pizza and Espn decided to make First Take into it's primary show.
(Of course Cold Pizza got thrown to the bushes)

If anything Undisputed made Shannon a more house hold name, because of Undisputed Shannon has a podcast now, his own liquor
I never knew Shannon was this funny until Undisputed........Untill Undisputed the only thing I knew about Shannon he was a great TE
that refused to give Ray Buchanan a ride. lol

Shannon’s athlete friends told him he better not perform with that white man. They probably hit him up like “he just disrespected you a few weeks ago now this? You better not”. But guess what, C.R.E.A.M. Get the money! No way Shannon is leaving that bag. And Skip will always be the ultimate heel draw in the business.
