Sports fans around the world are gearing up for a showdown like no other this upcoming NFL season. Shannon Sharpe and Stephen A. Smith will be debating on ESPN's "First Take" twice a week. According to the New York Post, the two analysts will be on air together on Mondays and Tuesdays to discuss the weekend and Monday night football games.
Sharpe is no stranger to the program. Before partnering with Skip Bayless on Fox Sports 1's "Undisputed," Sharpe was a regular guest on First Take. His fiery debates with Bayless were what helped him land the spot on the Fox show.
In June, Sharpe left "Undisputed" after the NBA Finals and didn't give any explanation as to why he was going. However, his and Bayless' disagreements in recent months may have been a factor. On the last show he co-hosted, Sharpe thanked Bayless for giving him the opportunity to share the spotlight. He said he was "very indebted" to him and that he would never forget what Bayless had done for him.
There is also a rumor that Sharpe's popular podcast "Club Shay Shay" will have a new home, but details have yet to be revealed.
Sports fans everywhere are looking forward to the two men going head-to-head. It's sure to be an exciting show full of quotes from both commentators. If the past is any indication, the debates are sure to be heated and entertaining. With the combination of Smith and Sharpe, the NFL season is going to be a must-watch!
