The verbal altercation between the two kept on escalating when the 71-year-old took a personal shot at the former Denver Broncos tight end who has won two Super Bowls in his career. “This man is playing at a high level at 45 when you had to stop at 35.” This angered the 54-year-old player, who then replied, “That’s what you do. Every time I call something into question, I get it.”
The three time Pro Bowl champion defended himself and said, “I did what I did! You make it seem like I was a bum! I’m in the effin’ Hall of Fame. I got three Super Bowls.” Although Sharpe looked visibly hurt by Bayless’ comments, fans found this heated exchange hilarious and could not stop themselves from laughing and enjoying.
Fans of NFL roar in laughter on Twitter
The NFL Twitter completely went crazy when they watched a video of the legendary hosts fighting.
This fan completely understood why Sharpe’s temperature rose.
Can’t blame him

This fan commented:
The fact that Skip is saying “So what?” to 3 super bowls and being in the HOF says all you need to know.

A fan thought Shannon Sharpe should no longer host UNDISPUTED with his co-host.
Shannon should sign a deal with ESPN or join macafee’s show or something. He’d do fine without Skip

This fan thought Sharpe’s reaction was a little too much.
Shannon is so sensitive. Although I don't like Skip, he never mentioned Shannon's family, race, or wealth. How was it personal? Skip said Tom was better than Shannon on the field which is fair games and straight up facts.

A fan thinks, although Sharpe is a great TE, there are other players this fan rank before him.
Shannon is in the list of Top 10 Tight ends of all time but he acts like he’s number one. Witten, Gonzalez, Kelce, Gates, Gronk, and possibly Olsen I would put ahead of him. In 3 Super Bowls he has 8 catches for 69 yards. TD, Elway, and the ravens D got him 3 rings! FACTS!

According to this fan, the personal jab was uncalled for.
Skip doesn't need to insult Shannon to make his point. Skip is just petty one, Shannon is just saying that this year the GOAT is not playing at that level. Skip has done JACK SQUAT as a player, he has no right to criticize Shannon personally. Skip has done NOTHING in the NFL.
