Shannon Sharpe's Potential Replacement Revealed

Shannon Sharpe is going to be leaving Undisputed very soon. In fact, the plan is for him to leave the show once the NBA Finals are over. Overall, this is something that a lot of fans saw coming. After all, Sharpe and Skip Bayless had gotten into quite a few arguments as of late. It was becoming clear that the work environment was toxic, and subsequently, Sharpe is going off to do his own thing. Although fans are going to miss this dynamic between the two co-hosts, it seems like this is actually just the best course of action for everyone involved.

Now, many are speculating over who could replace Shannon Sharpe. Of course, in the eyes of many, Sharpe is irreplaceable. He is a force on TV, and it is hard to see anyone else sitting across from Skip. However, the executives at FS1 are looking for someone who can excite viewers. Additionally, they want someone who can truly deliver some wild hot takes. Well, it seems like Fox may have just found that person. Although, fans might be a bit surprised by who it is.
