As Shannon Sharpe Walks Out of TV Marriage, Struggling Owner Antonio Brown Puts Up His Name for Skip Bayless’ Next Bout Buddy

Ex-NFL star Antonio Brown is a man with many professional hats. After his controversial exit from the NFL, AB has been focusing on branching out and testing different career options. He initially started his post-NFL career as a musician, releasing his debut rap album ‘Paradigm’. After this, Antonio Brown also acquired the National Arena League team the Albany Empire, becoming the owner of the franchise. But his debut saw it riddled with controversies, after being accused of improper handling of the players and the coaches. The Albany Empire also has had a dismal performance ever since Brown’s arrival.

Now, it seems like the ex-NFL star has his gaze set on another opportunity that has presented itself. And with this opportunity, Antonio Brown sees himself partnering up with Skip Bayless for their show, which has been on air since 2016. 

Antonio Brown eyes Shannon Sharpe’s position in Undisputed

Antonio Brown is someone who is not shy of letting his thoughts known on social media. He recently announced his comeback as a pro footballer after stating that he will play with the Albany Empire for their home game on the 27th of May. But with all the hype surrounding him suiting up, AB did not play with his team at the MVP arena, stating that his physical paperwork did not come out on time. Now, Brown’s latest tweet hints that he has his eyes set on Shannon Sharpe’s seat beside Skip Bayless on the UNDISPUTED show.

In a recent tweet posted by AB, we see him share a clip of a superhero speeding his way through the sky. With the short clip, AB wrote, “Me omw to take Shannon Sharpe’s spot on Undisputed.” Along with the clip, AB also put his song, ‘Put That Sh*t On’ in the background. While we wait for further reports on this claim, does this seem to be a hint by AB about his next professional venture in his post-NFL life?

Recently, Shannon Sharpe announced that he is making his exit from FS1 and the show Undisputed, which he co-hosted with Skip Bayless for seven years.

Sharpe quits his Undisputed role

Recently, 3X Super Bowl winner turned analyst Shannon Sharpe announced that he and Fox Sports have reached a buyout agreement, which means that he will no longer be a part of the UNDISPUTED show after the NBA 2023 finals in June. With the details of his exit still unclear, many believe that it comes from a long-standing disagreement between the two over the Damar Hamlin incident which happened earlier in January. After Hamlin’s cardiac arrest, Bayless and Sharpe had a heated exchange about how Bayless’s tweet offended the 3X Super Bowl champ and how he should take it down. But Skip Bayless stood by his word and even cut off Sharpe during the middle of his monologue, causing publicly visible friction between the two.

With Sharpe making his way out of FS1, do you think AB has a chance to be a part of the network and the show? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
