The resumption of the NFL with the 104th season will bring back analysts to their hot seat. But one analyst won’t be returning to the show they made their name at for over half a decade. The sports show led by Skip Bayless and ex-host Shannon Sharpe will have one permanent feature missing this upcoming season. After an ‘undisputed’ reign over the hearts of many sports fans, the show’s status is under threat. In spite of the trajectory, Bayless has continued his Sharpe-less analytics with new hosts joining him on the table.
The latest installment of Undisputed is still in its early days with Bayless as the primary face of the show. It has provided the fans with a clip they’ll watch more than once to make sure they’ve heard it right.
