Skip and Shannon are great television because the latter is a represantion of how many fans feel about the former.
Bayless has some hot takes, like tirelessly vouching for Baker Mayfield, that irk NFL Twitter, a community that praises Sharpe’s patience with the 71-year-old TV personality.
While these two have a great deal of respect for one another, it is clear that Bayless can go too far sometimes. Overall, Bayless is a huge troll, and there are times when he doesn’t realize how far he’s going. Today was a perfect example of that as he sent Sharpe spiraling.
During one of the first segments of the day, the two discussed none other than Tom Brady. Of course, Brady and the Buccaneers lost 35-7 against the San Francisco 49ers. However, Bayless was there to defend Brady all the way. Meanwhile, Sharpe had some harsh criticism for the Bucs star.
Bayless did not appreciate this criticism and ultimately took it personally. This led to Bayless calling Sharpe jealous. Shannon could not believe this and asked Bayless how he could say something like that. Sharpe mentioned that he is in the Hall of Fame, and doesn’t need to feel jealous. Subsequently, Bayless straight-up told Sharpe that Brady is better than him.
This eventually led to Sharpe yelling at Bayless. Shannon was livid that Bayless would disrespect him just so that he could praise Tom Brady. Overall, Sharpe had every right to be upset. However, Bayless did not seem to care one bit, as he continued to antagonize the three-time Super Bowl champion.
However, this Monday’s show was a bit different, as a spirited debate over the poor performance of Tom Brady and the Bucs turned “personal,” according to Sharpe.
“[Brady]‘s still playing at a high level at 45 when you had to stop at 35, that’s the point!” Bayless exclaimed during the segment.
“That’s what you do,” Sharpe retorted. “Every time I call something into question, I’m jealous. Skip, I did what I did. You make it seem like I was a bum! I’m in the effing Hall of Fame. I’ve got three Super Bowls. … See what you do, you take personal shots. … You’re willing to take a personal shot at me to say this man is better than me because I say he’s playing bad this year? …You would disrespect me to support him!” Sharpe yelled.
Bayless and Sharpe usually argue about sports topics but keep things respectable. That didn’t seem to be the case on Monday, and it will be interesting to see if there’s any fallout between the broadcasting duo
