Shannon Sharpe Confronts ‘Undisputed’ Co-Host Skip Bayless Over Damar Hamlin Tweet: “I Cannot Even Get Through A Monologue Without You Interrupting”

Fox Sports host Shannon Sharpe returned to the FS1 show Undisputed today after his one-day absence and almost immediately got into a heated dispute with co-host Skip Bayless over that controversial tweet about Damar Hamlin and his on-field injury Monday night.

Less than a minute into today’s episode, Sharpe said during his opening monologue, “Skip tweeted something and although I disagree with the tweet — and hopefully, Skip will take it down…”, at which point Bayless interrupted to say, “Time out – I’m not going to take it down because I stand by what I tweeted.” A frustrated and visibly angry Sharpe snapped back, “I cannot even get through a monologue without you interrupting.” After the Buffalo Bills safety collapsed on field during a Monday Night Football game in Cincinnati – a situation that brought the game to a halt – Bayless tweeted, “No doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game.

But how? This late in the season, a game of this magnitude is crucial to the regular-season outcome … which suddenly seems so irrelevant.” The tweet quickly drew social media backlash for being, at best, insensitive.

Bayless tweeted a clarification saying, “Nothing is more important than that young man’s health. That was the point of my last tweet.
