Shannon Sharpe’s partnership with Skip Bayless is coming to a conclusion soon.

Sharpe and Fox Sports, the parent company of FS1, which airs “Undisputed,” have reached a buyout agreement, sources tell The Post.

Sharpe’s final show is expected to be after the 2023 NBA Finals conclude in June.

Sharpe’s popular “Club Shay Shay” podcast, which draws a big audience on social media and YouTube, will also be leaving Fox Sports, a source said.

Those are some pretty big shoes to fill. I think Shannon Sharpe is the best TV sports personality on day time and or early morning sports shows.

I never felt Skip & Sharpe were the same after the following events.

I remember reading rumors that they were trying to replace him. Had some other Fox Sports former footballer in consideration.

Good riddance

I don’t know who it could be to match the personality. Chris Carter is way more laid back. You’d need one of the espn buffons big personality wise.

It's a hell of an opportunity for a black man with a big personality. It rebounded Shannon's media career after getting canned at CBS.

Emmanuel Acho was the guy I was hearing rumors about. He's on a show with Joy Taylor; I wonder if he'll be the one to step up. Not sure he's a big enough name though. There's got to be a high-level ex-NFL/NBA guy who wants to get into the media. Someone who has got a big personality. Do the show for several years to get in circulation and build up a podcast.

Good riddance

He was by far the best sports media member on Fox Sports

faint praise

Shannon Sharpe was great at his job. He brought alot of character to the show. Even though being a big Lebron fan, he would still speak the truth when Lebron had a bad game. I cant think of anyone who can replace him, it wont be the same. Skip is hard to watch, always tapping on the table, finding anything to discredit a player. But as a duel, they were fun to watch even though sometimes annoying specially skip.

Mad Dog Russo it is.

More reasons why Skip is so hard to watch. He thinks what he want to think and say, like tunnel vision. Just blabbing out crap and "umm huh, oom huh, ummm, uhhuh, ummmhumm".

[Foster5k]

They will miss Unc.

What people don’t realize is that it’s impossible to have a show like Undisputed without over the top takes and personalities. The show is for entertainment.

Mad Dog Russo it is.

I dont think he works. One of the big talking points on that show is the GOAT debate, and I think Mad dog favors MJ. You need a pro Lebron guy like a Nick Wright to bounce off him. Brussard is a big enough personality but hes on 'Odd Couple'
